Ardour is designed to work best with a three button mouse equipped with a scroll wheel.

It can be used with a two button mouse or touchpad, but at least two key operations will not (easily) be available to you:

You are strongly encouraged to invest in a two button mouse. You will find that a good quality mouse (especially one with a weighted, latchable scroll wheel) will make your use of Ardour vastly more efficient. They are cheap, and time is not.

Clicking

Throughout this manual, the term "click" refers to the act of pressing and releasing the leftmost mouse button (technically identified as Button1, but your operating system may allow this to be reassigned). This action is used to select objects, activate buttons, turn on/off choices, popup menus and so forth.

On touch surfaces, it also corresponds to a regular, single-finger tap on the GUI.

+

Right Clicking

Throughout this manual, the term "right-click" refers to the act of pressing and releasing the rightmost mouse button (technically identified as Button2, but your operating system may allow this to be reassigned). This action is used to pop up "context menus" (hence the term "context click", which you will also see). It is also used by default in combination with the shift key for deleting objects within the editor window. Mac OS mice sometimes have only one button. On Mac OS if you press and hold the Control key this is equivalent to right-clicking.

+

Middle Clicking

-

Throughout this manual, the term "middle-click" refers to the act of pressing and releasing the middle mouse button (technically identified as Button3, but your operating system may allow this to be reassigned). Not all all mice have a middle click button (see the mouse for details). Sometimes the scroll wheel acts as a clickable middle button. This action is used for time-constrained region copying and mapping MIDI bindings

This action is used for time-constrained region copying and mapping MIDI bindings

+

Double Clicking

A "double click" refers to two rapid press/release actions on the leftmost mouse button. The time interval between the two press/release actions that determines whether this is seen as two clicks or one double click is controlled by your system preferences, not by Ardour.

+

Drags

Throughut this manual, the term "drag" primarily refers to the act of pressing the leftmost mouse button, then moving the mouse with the button held down, and then releasing the button. On touch surfaces, this term also corresponds to a normal single finger touch-motion-release action.

Ardour also uses the middle mouse button for certain kinds of drags, which will be referred to as "middle-drag" - these are identical to a normal drag except that they involve using the middle button rather than the left button.

+

Modifiers

There are many actions in Ardour that can be carried out using a mouse button in combination with a "modifier key". When the manual refers to Ctrl-click, it means that you should first press the Control key, then carry out a normal click while the Control key is held down, and then finally release the Control key. On Mac OS use Cmd-click instead. Available modifiers depend on the platform you are using Ardour on:

+

Linux Modifiers

Mod2 typically correspond to the NumLock key on many systems. On most Linux systems, there are no keys that will function as modifiers Mod3, Mod4 or Mod5 by default, but they can be setup using xmodmap(1). This can be rather useful.

+

OS X Modifiers

Scroll Wheel

Ardour can make good use of a scroll wheel on your mouse, which can be utilized for a variety of purposes. Scroll wheels can generate both vertical scroll events (ScrollUp and ScrollDown) and/or horizontal events (ScrollLeft and ScrollRight). When appropriate, Ardour will differentiate between these two different scroll axes. Otherwise it will interpret ScrollDown and ScrollLeft as equivalent and similarly interpret ScrollUp and ScrollRight as equivalent.

Typically, scrolling is used to adjust continuous controls (e.g. faders/knobs), or to scroll vertically or horizontally.

    Regions Are Cheap

    By themselves, regions consume very little of your computer's resources. Each region requires a small amount of memory, and represents a rather small amount of CPU work if placed into an active track. So, don't worry about creating regions whenever you need to.

    Regions are not files

    -

    Although a region can represent an entire audio file, they are never equivalent to an audio file. Most regions represent just parts of an audio file(s) on disk, and removing a region from a track has nothing to do with removing the audio file(s) from the disk (the Destroy operation, one of Ardour's few destructive operations, can affect this). Changing the length of a region has no effect on the audio file(s) on disk. Splitting and copying regions does not alter the audio file in anyway, nor does it create new audio files (only recording, and the Export , Bounce and Reverse operations create new audio files).
