If the Editing Preference for “Region List Selec-
tion Follows Track Selection” is enabled, click-
ing a region in the Regions List highlights it in
the track that contains it.
Displaying File Info for Audio Regions
In addition to region names, the Audio Regions
List can also display information about the re-
gion’s parent audio file:
• Disk name, which represents the name of the
hard drive on which it resides
• File name, which represents the audio file
from which the region originated
• The full directory Pathname of the region’s lo-
cation
Pro Tools defaults to displaying just the region
portion of a region’s name. To display file infor-
mation for audio regions, choose Show File
Names, Show Disk Names, or Show Full Path-
names from the pop-up menu at the top of the
Audio Regions List.
Sorting and Searching the
Regions Lists
Most sessions will contain many regions, which
may make it difficult to locate a particular re-
gion in the Regions Lists. The ability to sort re-
gions and search for them will help greatly in
keeping track of large numbers of regions.
To sort regions in a Regions List:
1 From the Regions List pop-up menu, choose
Sorting and select the basis for sorting from the
submenu.
MIDI regions can be sorted by name, length, or
timestamp. In addition to these, audio regions
can be sorted by region start and end times, var-
ious attributes of the source audio file, disk
name, and track format.
2 From the Regions List pop-up menu, select As-
cending or Descending to switch the order of
the displayed regions.
Use the MIDI Regions List as a bin for stor-
ing your favorite MIDI clips. Save the ses-
sion as a template and the regions are avail-
able for future sessions (see “Creating
Custom Session Templates” on page 51).
Since MIDI regions are tick-based (unlike
audio regions), they scale seamlessly for use
with any tempo.
