Tutorial 2: Editing
3. With all of the events selected, click and drag them so
that the events line up with bar 2.
4. Click on an empty area of the project window so that
no events are selected.
All of the events have moved together, and have stayed in
the same relative position.
5. Select all of the events again, and drag them back to
bar 1.
Muting
Muting an event stops you from hearing just that event.
You may want to mute events on a track so that the track
continues to play except for the events you mute.
Ö Note that this is different from muting a track.
1. Hover the cursor over the event you wish to mute. The
mute button will appear in the top right hand corner of the
event.
2. Click on the Mute button. The event will turn gray. This
means that the event in muted.
3. To unmute the event click on the “Mute” button again.
Repeating
The Repeat function is great for repeating something over
and over directly after the event you want to repeat. This
function is built right onto events in Sequel.
Let’s repeat the “Drums” event:
1. Click on the “Repeat handle” on the middle right side
of the event and drag until the “Repeat Count” is three.
2. We now have five “Drums” events. Two original and
three repeats.
Copying
Copying can be used to copy an event to another area in
the project window.
Using copy and paste
1. To copy an event, click on the desired event and
choose “Copy” from the Edit menu. In our case, let’s
choose the “Guitar” event.
2. Position the cursor at the point in the project where
you would like the copy to be made. We’ll place the cursor
at bar 5 beat 2.
3. Make sure you click on the track that you want the
copied event to be copied to.
4. Choose “Paste” from the Edit menu.
Ö It is possible that you may have another track selected.
If so the “Paste” command would paste it to a different
track. Always note the track you have selected before
choosing “Paste”.
5. Now we have two “Guitar” events.
Using the [Ctrl]/[Command] key
1. Place the cursor in the center of the Synth event and
hold down [Ctrl]/[Command].
2. We are going to copy the “Synth” event. Click and
hold the selected event and drag to the position you wish
the copy to be made. In this case, drag until the copy is
lined up with bar 5.
3. Then release the mouse button.
4. Now we have two “Synth” events.
