separation points. These crossfades can later be edited for further refinement.
Use the crossfade editor to change the crossfade aspects.
• Multiple zoom levels can be saved to the four "Z" buttons in the lower left-hand
corner of the virtual project window. Use "Shift + left mouse click" to store a
zoom level to a specific preset button. When clicking on a previously assigned
preset button, the zoom level is recalled. The "S" preset buttons can be used with
"Shift + left mouse click" to store a complete window configuration set. This
includes the scroll position of the window and the mute/solo assignments for the
tracks. This offers four mute/solo groups that can be quickly recalled.
• Multiple objects can be selected by holding "Ctrl" and individually clicking on the
desired object.
• Holding "Shift" and clicking the mouse button behind the last object you want to
select will select objects between the two points.
• wave, HDP, and RAP projects, as well as stored objects, can be opened with
Windows Explorer by dragging them from the Explorer window to the Samplitude
Music Studio 2013 window. A special menu option is available to open Explorer
from within Samplitude Music Studio 2013 with "Tools -> Explore the HDP
directory". The default folder opened in Explorer is the same as the HD project
settings in the system dialog ("Y").
• "Shift + Tab" can be used to display the VIP display mode dialog. This dialog
allows you to change VIP display aspects like the VIP window behavior when an
object or range is moved toward the currently displayed window borders (VIP
border scroll).
• Press "Enter" and all open windows are tiled on the Samplitude Music Studio
2013 screen. This is a good starting point when using drag & drop functionality to
move ranges and objects between individual project windows.
• Use the menu option "Edit -> Edit tracks" to manipulate complete tracks. This
includes adding new tracks, inserting tracks and rearranging tracks.
Mixer
• Clicking the right mouse button on a mixer effect control knob or element opens
the associated effects dialog.
• A double click on the middle of a control knob or element returns it to the passive
default setting. Another double click resets the element to the previous position.
• Clicking on the left or right outer limits of a control knob changes the setting in
individual increments.
• In the mixer window, multiple channels can be soloed simultaneously. When
holding "Shift" and clicking on "Solo", all previously soloed channels are un-
soloed and the single channel is soloed.
• The "Master normalization" function in the mixer window can be used to
instantaneously adjust the output level to 0 dB, no matter how loud or soft the
master output signal is.
