Region operations
Regions are sections within a clip, with various uses. While
regions are perhaps best created and edited in the Sample
Editor (see “Working with regions” on page 183), the fol-
lowing region functions are available in the Advanced sub-
menu of the Audio menu:
The Edit History dialog
In the Edit History dialog you can undo and redo many edit
actions. Actions that can be undone include all functions in
the Project window as well as in the editors. It is also possi
-
ble to undo audio processes or applied plug-in effects.
Ö In the Preferences dialog (General page) you can limit
the Undo function by setting the number in the “Maximum
Undo” field to the desired value. This is useful if you run
out of hard disk space, for example.
To undo and redo your actions, proceed as follows:
1. On the Edit menu, select “History…”.
The Edit History dialog opens.
The dialog contains a list of all your edits, with the most
recent action at the bottom of the list. The Action column
displays the name of the action while the Time column
tells you when this action was performed. In the Details
column further details are shown. Here you can enter new
text by double-clicking in the column.
2. Move the horizontal, colored line upwards to the de-
sired position to undo your actions.
You can only undo your actions in reverse order, i. e. the last performed
action is the first action to be undone.
3. Move the line down the List again to redo an action
that was undone previously.
