+
+ There are two main uses for the Clips browser in the Editor window:
+
+
+
+ - Reusing existing clips
+ - Creating new clips from content in the timeline
+
+
+Reusing existing clips
+
+
+ You have two options how to reuse a clip in the Editor.
+
+
+
+ -
+ Add to an existing track. Dragging and dropping a clip from the browser
+ on an existing track will add this clip to a location on the timeline
+ where you released the mouse button, snapping options apply. Audio clips
+ can only be placed on audio tracks, MIDI clips can only be placed on MIDI
+ tracks. Additionally, placing a single-channel (mono) clip
+ on a multi-channel track will create a clip where only one channel
+ is filled with the content of the original clip, the rest of the channels will be silent.
+
+ -
+ Create a new track. Dragging and dropping a clip below the bottom track
+ will create a new track from the clip and name it after the clip's file name.
+ Ardour will make a few judgements based on clip properties: the track will
+ contain as many channels as the audio file has. And for a MIDI clip, Ardour
+ will automatically add the "preview" virtual instrument of choice
+ to the processor box.
+
+
+
+Creating new clips
+
+
+ You can create new clips for further reuse in the Editor window. Please see
+ the Managing Custom Clips page
+ for more detail.
