The Project Logical Editor
Selecting a function
The left pop-up menu at the bottom of the Project Logical
Editor is where you select the function – the basic type of
editing to be performed.
The available options are:
Delete
Deletes all elements found by the Project Logical Editor.
Ö When you delete automation tracks and undo this op-
eration by selecting Undo from the Edit menu, the automa-
tion tracks will be restored, but the tracks will be closed.
Transform
Changes one or several aspects of the found elements.
You set up exactly what should be changed in the action
list, see below.
Select
This will simply select all found elements, highlighting
them for further work in the Project window.
Applying Macros
In the Macro pop-up menu you can select a macro that
will be executed automatically after completing the actions
defined using the Filter and Action lists. This is useful if
you would like to extend the already powerful Project Lo-
gical Editor features even further.
To use this, you set up the macro that you need in the Key
Commands dialog (see “Setting up key commands” on
page 480) and then select it in the Project Logical Editor
from the Macro pop-up menu.
For example, you could use the filter conditions to select
all tracks that contain automation data for a certain auto-
mation parameter (such as “volume”) and use the macro
“Select all on Track + Delete” to remove the automation
events from these tracks (without deleting the tracks
themselves).
Applying the defined actions
Once you have set up filter conditions, selected a function
and set the required actions (or loaded a preset), you ap-
ply the actions defined with the Project Logical Editor by
clicking the Apply button.
Project Logical Editor operations can be undone just like
any other editing.
Working with presets
The Presets section in the bottom right section of the win-
dow allows you to load, store and manage Project Logical
Editor presets. A preset contains all settings in the window,
which means you can simply load a preset, edit the settings
(if necessary) and click Apply.
• To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up
menu. If available, an explanatory text appears to the right
of the menu. When setting up your own presets, you can
click in this area to enter a description.
• You can also open the Edit menu and select Presets di-
rectly from the “Process Project Logical Editor” submenu.
This allows you to apply a preset directly, without having
to open the Project Logical Editor.
Storing your own settings as a preset
If you have made Project Logical Editor settings that you
want to use again, you can store them as a preset:
1. Click the Store Preset button to the right of the Presets
pop-up menu.
A dialog for specifying a name for the new preset is displayed.
2. Enter a name for the preset and click OK.
The preset is stored.
Ö To remove a preset, load it and click the Remove Preset
button.
