Help! Selecting regions on adjacent tracks

Mar 1st, 2012, 09:54

... this may be a silly question, but here's the scenario: I'm working on two adjacent audio regions, the result of two mics on one instrument, using the marquee to select elements of both as pairs and drag them aroundâ�¦ Okâ�¦ if I move my mouse away and attend to other business, HOW can I select both again? When I select one, the other disappears under it's previous audio. Is there some preference I have to check? I know someone knows the answer to this. For some reason I couldn't upload an image but here is a link to my screen: thanks! [url]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/338/adjacentaudioregions.jpg/[/url]

Hi moon sound, You should just be able to Shift-click on the 2nd region to select it. You might be interested in changing the drag mode (top right of Arrange area) to No Overlap, so that you regions don't disappear under each other but are trimmed when placing one over another. :)

Hi Rounikâ�� thanks for your reply. It's wierdâ�� it doesn't do it all the time; it's kind of unpredictable... I don't like No Overlap because I want to keep my stems tidy, but I guess I'll have to. My workaround: If I optionâ��shift the lower part of one section it marquees itâ�� then I do the same to its sister section above it and both regions are selected and movable (also creating the same size regions underneath the two) Anywayâ�� I just thought there was some secret select parameter that I accidentally have on... :) thanks!

sorry about the symbols. I guess I can't use long hyphen!
