Ardour has a global edit mode selector at the left of the
Editing toolbar, which affect how regions are moved or copied:
- Regions move freely. Ardour creates overlaps when necessary.
- No region motion is permitted (except for "nudge").
- The effect of an edit is reflected in the regions to the "right" of the edit
More details about Ripple
Ripple Edit mode provides the following conveniences:
- Deleting a range will move later regions to compensate for the deleted time
- Deleting a region will move later regions to compensate for the deleted region's length
- Moving a region will move later regions to compensate for the length of the move
- Inserting a new region (via dragging or via Paste) will move later regions to the right to compensate
If is enabled, then regions can
only move so that they align with locations determined by the current
snap settings (beats, or seconds, or other region boundaries, etc).
See Snap To the Grid
for details.
