Virtual Editing Concepts
Prerequisite for this is the selection of the correct Mouse
Mode: Object Mode, Object & Curve Mode, and Universal
Tool Mode all offer this functionality. In the Universal Tool
Mode, the object is selected by clicking on the lower half of
the object.
Also, see the information in Details about the Individual
Mouse Modes .
Overlapping Objects
A track (channel) can only play back one object at a time. If
one object is moved over another object, the previous object
is partially or completely taken out of the playback list much
like one sheet of paper covers another partially or
completely. The invisible part of a covered object will not
be audible. By moving the covering object out of the way,
the covered section or the complete object can be made
audible again. To create a crossfade between two objects
that are intersecting each other, the Crossfade Editor in the
menu Edit can be used.
Working with Ranges
Selecting the Correct Mouse Mode
Initially, the correct mouse mode needs to be selected, since
the mouse is the center point of any range manipulation.
In Virtual projects, the Range mode and the Universal Tool
mode (upper track pane) are available. In Wave projects,
the Range mode can be used to select and manipulate
ranges.
Selecting a Range
A range can be selected from any position to the next by
clicking with the left mouse button into the waveform.
Hold the mouse key and move the cursor within the range/
waveform.
The selected range will appear as an inverse rectangle. Re-
lease now the mouse button. In the Textile right under the
header of the project window you will see the horizontal
edges of the selected range.
If you want to select a different range, just click into the
area next to the inverse rectangle, but still within the
waveform. The previous range will disappear and you are
able to select a new range.
Adjusting a Range
Click into the inverse rectangle if you want to extend or
shorten the size of the selected range. Move the cursor (hold
the mouse key down) into the direction in which you want
to extend to. As soon as you slide over the edge of the
