Replace Region and Multichannel
Tracks
The Replace Region command supports drag-
ging multichannel regions from the Audio Re-
gions List to multichannel tracks, provided they
are the same format.
For example, you can replace a stereo region, se-
lected in a stereo audio track, with another ste-
reo region from the Audio Regions List. But you
cannot replace it with two mono audio regions.
In addition, replacing regions in multiple mono
tracks with multichannel regions is not sup-
ported.
Repeat Paste To Fill Selection
(TDM Systems Only)
The Repeat Paste To Fill Selection command al-
lows you to automatically fill a selection with
audio or MIDI data without requiring you to du-
plicate the regions manually. To use Repeat
Paste, copy an audio or MIDI region, then make
a selection and use the command to fill the se-
lection. When pasting audio regions, you are
prompted to specify a crossfade to be used for
the pasted regions.
If you fill an area that is an exact multiple of the
copied region size (for example, filling 16 bars
with a 4-bar loop), the copied selection is pasted
in exactly as many times as it takes to fill the se-
lection. If you fill an area that is not an exact
multiple of the copied region size (for example,
filling 15 seconds of a track with a 2-second at-
mosphere or room noise region), the remaining
selection area is filled with an automatically
trimmed version of the original selection.
To fill a selection with Paste to Fill:
1 Select the audio or MIDI region you want to
copy and choose Edit > Copy.
2 Select the area you want to fill using the Selec-
tor and choose Edit > Repeat Paste To Fill Selec-
tion.
3 If pasting audio regions to larger areas, the
Batch Fades dialog opens. Configure the dialog
to insert crossfades between each pasted region,
then click OK.
– or –
If you do not want crossfades for the pasted au-
dio, click Cancel in the Batch Fades dialog.
Compress/Expand Edit To
Play
(TDM Systems Only)
When the Edit and Timeline selections are un-
linked, you can compress or expand an audio se-
lection to fit the Timeline selection. This feature
works by using the Time Compression/Expan-
sion plug-in to expand or compress the selected
audio material.
To fit an Edit selection to the Timeline:
1 Deselect Operations > Link Edit and Timeline
Selection.
2 With the Selector, select the audio material to
be compressed or expanded.
3 In any Timebase Ruler, select the time range
where you want to fit the audio material.
4 Choose Edit > Compress/Expand Edit To Play.
The Edit selection is compressed or expanded to
the length of the Timeline selection.
