Moving events between layers

Select the events you want to move.

Press 8 on the numeric keypad to move events to the first layer, or press 2 to move events to the second layer.

Note:

You can also drag events across layers. The keyboard shortcuts, however, will ensure that you don’t change the events’ position on

the timeline.

Adding events and tracks to a two-layer project

Adding and arranging media uses the same process for one- or two-layer projects. However, when you create events in a two-layer

project, the media is added to whichever layer has focus.

Click within a layer to position the cursor and select a layer. The cursor will blink to indicate which layer has focus.

For more information, see Working with events on page 41.

Cutting, copying, or pasting events in the second audio layer

Cutting, copying, and pasting events uses the same process for one- or two-layer projects.

For more information, see Editing and ripple editing events on page 47.

Adding volume envelopes in a two-layer project

Click to select the layer where you want to add an envelope. The cursor will blink to indicate which layer has focus.

From the Insert menu, choose Insert/Remove Volume Envelope to add a volume envelope to the selected layer.

Move or trim the events on the two layers so they overlap.

Add envelope points and adjust the fade curves as necessary to create your fade.

For more information, see Using timeline volume envelopes on page 71.

Using undo and redo

CD Architect software gives you unlimited undo and redo functionality while working on your project, even to the extent of being able

to undo changes made before the last time a project was saved (but not closed). While you are working with a project, CD Architect

software creates an undo history of the changes that you have performed. Each time you undo something, that change is placed in the

redo history.

When you close the project or exit CD Architect software, both the undo and redo histories are cleared.

Using undo

Pressing Ctrl+Z or clicking the Undo button on the toolbar reverses the last edit performed. Repeatedly using the keyboard

command or toolbar button continues undoing edits in reverse order, from most recent to oldest. In addition, you may undo the last

edit by choosing it from the Edit menu.

Undoing a series of edits

You can undo a series of edits by using the drop-down list on the Undo button.

Click the arrow to the right of the Undo button .
