TECHNIQUES FOR WORKING WITH OBJECTS 117
The length handles are at the bottom left and right corners. You can use them to adjust
the length and starting time of an object within the wave project. The object editor can be
used to change the length as well.
The length of an object depends on the audio file that is accessing the object. The longer
the audio file is, the longer the object can be. The referenced audio file restricts the length
of the object. The object cannot be longer than the audio file.
The fade handles (top left and top right) are used to fade in or fade out an object, whereby
different curve shapes are possible. You can use the object editor to precisely adjust the
curve shape.
The volume handle is at the top center of the object. You can use it to adjust the volume.
The volume level is displayed above the tool tips.
The object name is visible next to the left length handle on the right hand side and the key
symbol to its right can be used for "Locking Objects (view page 119)".
Selecting and unselecting several objects, inverting the
selection
This is the quickest way to select several objects:
• Left click into a free area on the lower part of a track and hold down the mouse button.
Now drag the mouse to the right to open the object lasso. All objects in the lasso are
selected when the mouse key is released.
• If there is no free space available, use the object lasso via "Object > Select object >
Object lasso" (Shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + L)
• You can now select individual objects by clicking and dragging the mouse over them.
• Holding down the "Shift" key and mouse-clicking is a further option for selecting objects:
All objects located between the start section and the current mouse position will be
selected.
• All selected objects can be unselected by clicking on them in the lower part of the track
with the mouse button. However, an object must not be clicked.
• An existing selection can be inverted so that the selected objects are unselected and
vice versa. To do so select the "Object" menu then "Select objects" and finally "Switch
selection".
Moving objects
Left click into the lower half of the object and hold down the mouse button: The object now
follows the movement of the mouse. You can also move an object into other tracks. Here
you can move objects into other tracks. If you let go of the mouse the object remains at its
current position.
• If you wish to move multiple objects simultaneously, select them as described above.
Click and drag one of the selected objects using the mouse to move all selected objects
together.
• If you press the "Shift" key when moving, you can drag the selected objects vertically
onto other tracks, the time position, however, does not change.
