Mouse functions and mouse modes 89
Lasso function
Object lasso: If you click left next to an object in the lower half of the track, you can
sketch a rectangle with the mouse button pressed down by dragging the mouse the
right. All included objects are selected.
Volume and panorama lasso: If you click left next to an object in the lower half of the
track, you can sketch a rectangle with the mouse button pressed down by dragging
the mouse the right. All contained volume and panorama points are selected.
Volume and length of individual objects
You can individually adjust the volume and length with the five object handles.
Object handles: The upper handle changes the object volume. The changed level is
shown in dB in the upper left-hand corner of the VIP.
Side handles: Fade-in or fade-out. The fade curves used here can be set in the
crossfade editor.
Lower handle: Adjusts the length of an object.
Volume and panorama automation curves
The volume and panorama curves can be used to graphically adjust the volume and
stereo panorama curves of the tracks. Movable handle points are created on the
curve.
Double clicking on the automation curve creates a new curve event. Another double
click on the same curve event deletes the event. Selected handles can also be deleted
by selecting "Delete curve handles" from the edit menu.
A volume or panorama handle is selected simply by clicking it. Several handles are
selected by holding "Ctrl" while clicking.
If you click right next to an object, you can sketch a rectangle with the mouse button
by dragging the mouse to the right. All volume and panorama points contained are
selected (lasso function).
Selected volume and panorama points can be moved with the mouse. To move
several points, you have to hold "Ctrl" while dragging.
