Quite newbie in Ardour…
I have a tipical multitrack drum recording situation.
Some corrections needs to be done to align with the click,
I have created vertical groups with a region from every track.
Now I have a lot of this groups and I want to combine one with another, as is possible with two regions in the same track,
Any suggestion?
Thanks
ps: please don’t suggest to just ctrl/click every region.
Select all the regions you want(rubber band select)
Region → Gain → un-select “Opaqe”
Region → Edit → Combine
Deselecting “opaque” will ensure that muted regions will not be added, but all other regions in the stack will. Note that all those regions will now become one. If you have made an error / wish to edit:
Select the newly combined region
Region → Edit → Uncombine
If you find that some regions have moved when using “combine”, or if you want to keep the layers and have a separate combination region you could also try the more conventional:
BOUNCING
Select all the regions you want(rubber band select)
Region → Gain → un-select “Opaqe”
Region → Edit → Bounce Without Processing
And you will find the result in the regions list (shift-L) in the editor.
Yes thekoala, I never would have thought the gain/opaque trick.
I would add that after combine, the ctrl/G must be done to regroup the newly crated stack.
Just one little question more, just to speed the process:
I can select one entire group just ctrl/clicking one region in the stack, but while holding ctrl, if I click on another group, only the region I click on is selected, not her entire group.
Thanks
ps: partially solved via ctrl/a and deselect all that I don’t desire, but needs accurate check.
There’s an option in preferences to add some empty space below each track. I find it quite useful because you can click in the space and drag the cursor vertically to select.
Also if you lock the regions they won’t move about.
I set personal hotkeys for all these things, as I do a lot of editing work. Really speeds things up.
