120 TECHNIQUES FOR WORKING WITH OBJECTS
example, if a filter setting is added to an audio file in destructive mode, the object is also
heard with this filter setting in the VIP. When working in destructive mode, you should
therefore know exactly which objects in the VIP the audio file to be edited uses. "Create
copy" is activated by default for all destructive effects for safety. In this case, a copy of the
affected audio material is always created for effects. This allows objects in the virtual
projects which reference the non-edited audio file to continue accessing it.
Moving to a defined position
The following options can be used for moving an object to a defined position:
1. Right-click on the object you wish to move. In the context menu that opens click on
"Objects / Move crossfade / Edit -> Move object...". A window will open in which the
new starting position of a sample, millisecond, SMPTE time or beat of the object can
be entered.
2. Similarly, in the object editor you can enter the desired position under "Object start".
3. If you want an object to start at the position of the play cursor, right-click on the
object you would like to move. In the context menu that opens select: Object ->
Edit/Move crossfade -> Object to play cursor position.
Group/Ungroup objects
First, select all objects that you want to group.
Now, either select the "Group" symbol in the toolbar or right click one of the selected
objects and select "Object -> Create group" from the context menu. The selected
objects are now a group.
Click on the "Ungroup" symbol in the program toolbar or right click one of the selected
objects and select "Object -> Ungroup" from the context menu to ungroup the objects
again.
With the "Object -> Select objects -> Ungroup objects by time" command, you can
remove objects from an existing group according to when they were last clicked. By
clicking on an object again and repeatedly using the function, the removed object is moved
back into the group.
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + U
or "Shift + Ungroup"
"Object -> Select objects -> Ungroup all objects by time" temporarily ungroups all objects
from the group. In this case, the "Preserve group" button will blink. If the function is
reactivated or if the blinking buttons are pressed repeatedly, then the groups will be
reproduced and the button will stop blinking and return to inactive status.
Shortcut: Shift + Alt + Ungroup
"Ctrl + Alt + Ungroup button" resets the grouping history.
