7 The Region Properties window
12 The <dfn>Region properties</dfn> window brings information about the selected
13 regions, and allows to fine tune its sequencing. It is accessed through the
14 <kbd class="menu">Region > Properties…</kbd> menu, or by
15 <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking the region,
16 <kbd class="menu"><i>Name_of_the_Region</i> > Properties…</kbd>.
19 This window also allows to manually set the different values.
33 <td>The <a href="@@region-naming">name of the region</a> in the editor</td>
37 <th><kbd class="menu">Audition</kbd></th>
38 <td>This button allows to listen to the region and only the region, dry (with
39 no effects, regardless of the processors applied to the track). For MIDI,
40 the default MIDI synth, set in the <a href="@@preferences#preferences-midi">Preferences</a>,
41 is used to audition the region.</td>
46 <td>Position in time of the left-hand side of the region</td>
51 <td>Position in time of the right-hand side of the region</td>
56 <td>Duration of the region (=End−Position)</td>
60 <th>Sync point (relative to region):</th>
61 <td>Position in time of the <a href="@@grid-controls">Sync Point</a>, relative
62 to the beginning of the region. No manual sync point means the sync point is
63 the beginning of the region (=Position), so will show as "0" in time
64 and <code>001|01|0000</code> in Bars:Beats notation.</td>
68 <th>Sync point (absolute):</th>
69 <td>Position in time of the <a href="@@grid-controls">Sync Point</a>, relative
70 to the beginning of the session. No manual sync point means the sync point
71 is the beginning of the region, and will be equal to the Position.</td>
76 <td>Position in time of the beginning of the region relative to the source
77 file start. If the region has not been trimmed on the left, then the regions
78 start is the file start and this value is 0.</td>
83 <td>Name of the source audio/MIDI file the region is extracted from.
84 A region can be a part of or a whole audio/MIDI file, and multiple regions can
85 be based on the same source file.
91 <td><em>(Audio files only)</em> Manual gain, in dB, applied constantly to the whole region,
92 regardless of the global track's gain, automation, etc…</td>
96 <th>Peak amplitude:</th>
97 <td><em>(Audio files only)</em> Maximum level the signal reaches inside the region.
98 Expressed in dBFS (Full Scale), where 0 is the numeric maximum a signal can
106 All the fields marked as "editable" in the table above allow the user to manually
107 enter a value in the field, to manually set this value.
111 <kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd>-clicking on a field allow to switch between the
112 different <a href="@@editing-clocks">clock modes</a>.
116 The context menu that pops up also allows the relevant fields (Position, End,
117 and both Sync points) to be set from the playhead location, which can be used to
118 e.g. trim a region to the playhead or place a sync point exactly on a beat.
