+ The Region properties window brings information about the selected + regions, and allows to fine tune its sequencing. It is accessed through the + Region > Properties… menu, or by + right clicking the region, + Name_of_the_Region > Properties…. +
++ This window also allows to manually set the different values. +
+ +Field | +Meaning | +Editable | +
---|---|---|
Name: | +The name of the region in the editor | +X | +
Audition | +This button allows to listen to the region and only the region, dry (with + no effects, regardless of the processors applied to the track). For MIDI, + the default MIDI synth, set in the Preferences, + is used to audition the region. | ++ |
Position: | +Position in time of the left-hand side of the region | +X | +
End: | +Position in time of the right-hand side of the region | +X | +
Length: | +Duration of the region (=End−Position) | +X | +
Sync point (relative to region): | +Position in time of the Sync Point, relative
+ to the beginning of the region. No manual sync point means the sync point is
+ the beginning of the region (=Position), so will show as "0" in time
+ and 001|01|0000 in Bars:Beats notation. |
+ X | +
Sync point (absolute): | +Position in time of the Sync Point, relative + to the beginning of the session. No manual sync point means the sync point + is the beginning of the region, and will be equal to the Position. | +X | +
File start: | +Position in time of the beginning of the region relative to the source + file start. If the region has not been trimmed on the left, then the regions + start is the file start and this value is 0. | ++ |
Source: | +Name of the source audio/MIDI file the region is exctracted from. + A region can be a part of or a whole audio/MIDI file, and multiple regions can + be based on the same source file. + | +X | +
Region gain: | +(Audio files only) Manual gain, in dB, applied constantly to the whole region, + regardless of the global track's gain, automation, etc… | +X | +
Peak amplitude: | +(Audio files only) Maximum level the signal reaches inside the region. + Expressed in dBFS (Full Scale), where 0 is the numeric maximum a signal can + reach. | ++ |
+ All the fields maked as "editable" in the table above allow the user to manually + enter a value in the field, to manually set this value. +
+ ++ Right-clicking on a field allow to switch between the + different clock modes. +
+ ++ The context menu that pops up also allows the relevant fields (Position, End, + and both Sync points) to be set from the playhead location, which can be used to + e.g. trim a region to the playhead or place a sync point exactly on a beat. +
