8 Working in the Editor
The editor, located below the timeline, is where you edit
Real and Software Instrument regions. You can edit each
type of region in a variety of ways.
In the editor, Real Instrument regions appear as audio waveforms. Software Instrument
regions appear as either a graphic note display, or as music notation, depending which
view you select. For both Real and Software Instrument regions, the editor features a
beat ruler to help you make precise edits, and a playhead which you can lock to the
timeline playhead, or unlock to see a different part of the song in the editor.
Selecting Regions
In order to edit a region in the editor, you first select the region in the timeline.
To select a region, do one of the following:
• Select a single region by clicking it.
• Select multiple regions by Shift-clicking.
• Drag from a point before the first region to a point after the last one to select the
regions in between.

You can edit Real Instrument regions in the editor in several ways. You can:
• Move regions
• Crop part of a region
