Chapter 26: Making Selections 567
Selecting Track Material
Before audio and MIDI material can be edited, it
must first be selected. The Track View determines
how the material is viewed and selected.
When you make a selection, it appears as a high-
lighted area of the tracks, and is also indicated by
blue start and end arrows (Timeline Selection
Markers) in the Main Timebase ruler. If any track
(audio or MIDI) in the session is record-enabled,
even if it is hidden, these markers appear red.
If the Timeline and Edit selections are unlinked,
the Edit selection range is indicated by Edit Mark-
ers in the Main Timebase ruler. See “Linking or
Unlinking Timeline and Edit Selections” on
page 565 for details.
Selections and Edit Groups
When making selections on tracks that are part of
an Edit Group, all tracks within the group become
selected.
Selections and Hidden Tracks
When editing tracks that are part of an active Edit
Group, any tracks within the group that are hidden
are not affected by the edits. To edit all members of
a group, make sure they are visible by highlighting
their names in the Track List.
Selections in Multiple Tracks
To make a selection in multiple tracks:
 With the Selector tool, drag vertically to include
adjacent tracks in a selection (drag horizontally
to define the time range).
Selecting Clips
To select a portion of a clip:
 With the Selector tool, drag within a clip (left or
right) to select the material on a single track.
(You can also use the Selector tool across mul-
tiple, adjacent tracks to make multitrack selec-
tions.)
