Selecting Regions

How to select regions

Acoustica does all processing on the selected region and the selected channels only. The selected region is highlighted.

Selecting a Region

• Click the beginning of the region you wish to select and keep the mouse button down.

• Move the mouse cursor to the end of the region you wish to select while keeping the mouse button down.

• Release the mouse button.

• The newly selected region should now by highlighted.

Modify selected Region

As shown in the screenshot below, you can modify the selected region:

• Hover over the beginning or end of the region. Your cursor symbol will change to an arrow that points both left and right.

• Click and hold the beginning or the end of the region and drag it to the desired location.

Working with the Selection

Once you have a selection, several commands act on it as a whole:

• Invert Selection (Edit > Selection) selects everything that is currently unselected, and vice versa.

• Create Clip from Selection (Edit menu) opens the selected range in a clip editor of its own, so you can work on a difficult passage in isolation.

• Select Previous and Select Next (Edit > Selection) step back and forth through your selection history, which recovers a carefully drawn selection lost to a stray click.

See Cursor and Selection Navigation for the full set of selection and cursor commands and their keyboard shortcuts.
