- Ardour does not impose any particular ordering of tracks and busses in + Ardour does not impose any particular ordering of tracks and busses in either the editor or mixer windows. The default arrangements are as follows:
-- In the Editor, the Master bus will always be on top unless + +
+ The track ordering of the Editor and Mixer is + synchronized: if a track is reordered in one window, the ordering + in the other window will follow. +
+ ++ Reordering is done by selecting the tracks to be moved, then using + Track > Move Selected Tracks Up (shortcut: + ↑) or Track > Move Selected + Tracks Down (shortcut: ↓). +
+ ++ Alternatively, the Tracks & Busses panel of the Editor Lists can be + used, if visible. Here, tracks and busses can be freely dragged-and-dropped + into any desired order.
+ +- In the Mixer, the tracks and busses will be displayed in their - initial order, from left to right. The Master bus is always on the far - right and occupies its own pane, so that it is always visible no matter - how you scroll the other mixer strips. If a Monitor section is used, - it shows up at the right edge of the mixer window, from where it can be - torn off into a separate window. + Within the Strips List pane at the top left of the Mixer + window, tracks and busses can be freely dragged-and-dropped into any desired + order.
-{% children %} ++ Tracks and Busses that are members of a group can be reordered so that they + display contiguously within the Editor and Mixer windows, by Right-clicking on the group tab and choosing Collect. +
+ ++ When adding new tracks, the + Insert: field allows to determine their placement. + New tracks will be placed Last by default, so after the rightmost + (in the mixer) or bottom-most (in the editor) selected track. If no tracks are + selected, new tracks will be added at the end, regardless of the choice. +
+ ++ Because new tracks are automatically selected, they can be quickly reordered + in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them. +
+ ++ Every track and bus in Ardour is assigned a remote control ID. + When a control surface or any other + remote control is used to control Ardour, these IDs are used to identify + which track(s) or buss(es) are the intended target of incoming commands. +
+ ++ Remote IDs are assigned to tracks and busses in the order that they appear in + the mixer window from left to right, starting from #1; manual assignment of + remote IDs is not possible. The master bus and monitor section can be + accessed by name. +
