Editing

If this option is activated, and Record in Editor or Solo Editor is activated in a MIDI editor, these options follow the focus. That is, if the Project window gets the focus, Record in Editor and Solo Editor are suspended in the MIDI editor.

This allows you to specify the default track time type for new tracks. When you change this setting, all new tracks will use the selected time type.

• Musical

  All added tracks are set to musical time type. The respective button shows a note symbol.

• Time Linear

  All new audio tracks use linear time base. The respective button shows a clock symbol.

• Follow Transport Main Display

  New tracks use the primary time format setting on the transport panel. When this is set to Bars+Beats, tracks with musical time base will be added. When this is set to any of the other options (Seconds, Timecode, Samples, etc.), all new tracks will use linear time base.

If this option is activated, a warning message is displayed if you delete tracks that are not empty.

This allows you to select a track by clicking in the event display background.

If this option is activated, all events in the Project window or in an editor that are touched by the project cursor are automatically selected. This can be helpful when you rearrange your project, because it allows you to select whole sections (on all tracks) simply by moving the project cursor.

If this option is activated, range selections that you make in the Sample Editor will be mirrored in the Project window as well. This lets you audition a range in the Sample Editor as a loop with the main transport controls, rather than with the Audition and Audition Loop controls in the Sample Editor.

If this option is activated and you move, size, or nudge an event so that it partly overlaps another event, the other event is automatically resized so that the overlapped (hidden) section is removed. Hold Shift while moving to override this setting.

If this option is activated and you move an event from one track to another, the moved event will automatically be named according to its new track. Otherwise, the event will retain the name of the original track.

This setting determines which properties are affected when you lock an event (by selecting Lock from the Edit menu). You can select any combination of the following 3 options:

• Position

  If this is locked, the event cannot be moved.

• Size

  If this is locked, the event cannot be resized.

• Other

  If this is locked, all other editing of the event is disabled. This includes adjusting the fades and event volume, processing, etc.

If this option is activated, the contents of parts and events will not be continuously redrawn when you zoom manually. Instead, the contents are redrawn once you have stopped changing the zoom – activate this if screen redraws are slow on your system.

• If this option is deactivated and no event/part is selected in the Project window, the Up Arrow/Down Arrow keys are used to step through the tracks in the track list.

• If this option is deactivated and an event/part is selected in the Project window however, the Up Arrow/Down Arrow keys still step through the tracks in the track list. Only on the selected track, the first event/part will also be selected.

• If this option is activated, the Up Arrow/Down Arrow keys are only used to change the track selection – the current event/part selection in the Project window will not be altered.

If this option is activated and you select an event in the Project window, the corresponding track is also automatically selected.

If this option is activated, automation events will automatically follow when you move an event or part on the track.

This facilitates setting up automation that is related to a specific event or part, instead of a specific position in the project. For example, you can automate the panning of a sound effect event (having the sound pan from left to right, etc.) – if you need to move the event, the automation will automatically follow. The rules are:

• All automation events for the track between the start and end of the event or part will be moved. If there are automation events in the position to which you move the part or event, these will be overwritten.

• If you duplicate an event or part, the automation events will be duplicated as well.

• This function also affects copying and pasting.

When you click and drag an event, this setting determines the delay before the event is moved. This helps you avoid accidentally moving events when you click on them in the Project window.
