To shuffle regions:
1 Set the Edit mode to Shuffle by clicking its
button in the upper left of the Edit window.
2 Drag a mono region from the Regions List to
an empty track. The region snaps to the begin-
ning of the track.
3 Drag a second region from the Regions List to
the same track, somewhere in the middle. The
start point for the second region snaps to the
end of the first region.
4 With the Grabber, drag the second region to
the beginning of the track.
Pro Tools “shuffles” the position of the two re-
gions. The second region now occurs first, yet
the two still cling together.
5 Experiment more with Shuffle mode by drag-
ging additional regions to the track and rear-
ranging them.
Locked regions (see “Locking Regions” on
page 279), and all regions occurring after the
locked region, are not displaced when other
neighboring regions are moved in Shuffle mode.
If there is not enough room to place or duplicate
a region in front of a locked region, the insertion
area is disabled.
If you place a region while in Slip mode and
switch to Shuffle mode, Pro Tools preserves the
relative timing and position of the slipped re-
gion, and any blank space between it and other
regions.
Shuffling Multiple Tracks and
Multichannel Regions
Selections across multiple tracks or on multi-
channel tracks can be shuffled. Unlike shuffling
regions on a single, mono track, any partially se-
lected regions will be cut and moved along with
the dragged region. This lets you retain only the
material that corresponds to the dragged region,
similar to a tape splice and multitrack.
Slipping Regions
In Slip mode, regions can be moved with the
Grabber freely within a track, or onto other
tracks. In this mode, it is possible to place a re-
gion so that there is space between it and other
regions in a track. When the track is played
back, this space is silent. It is also possible to
move a region so that it overlaps or completely
covers another region.
