12 Getting to Know Regions
When audio or MIDI files are added to, or recorded in, the
Arrange area, they are displayed as regions.
This chapter covers the similarities and differences between audio and MIDI regions,
and provides advanced information on region handling. Details on using regions to
construct your songs can be found in Chapter 13, “Creating Your Arrangement,” on
page 307.
What Are Regions?
Audio and MIDI data handling is very similar in the Arrange area, via rectangular blocks
called regions. These blocks are graphical representations of data. Audio regions
represent audio data. MIDI regions represent MIDI data.
