I’m editing my vocals for a podcast, and what I am doing a lot of is cutting a small section (some “ummm…aaah…” noises, and bits where I mashed my words - happens quite a lot because I’m attempting to podcast in my non-native language…) and then moving everything that comes after that up to close the gap:
Before:
Doing this manually with the mouse is a bit laborious tho, is there a feature where I can do this with a keyboard shortcut? I seem to remember KDENLive has something like “remove space” that would do what I want.
Now I think about it, I think in Kdenlive I had some shortcuts set up so that I could go thru a track editing like this purely with arrow keys and keyboard shortcuts, which (if i remember correctly ) was much more efficient than using the mouse - can anyone suggest how to set up a similar workflow in ardour? I’m spending a lot of time editing vocals, I’d like to make it as efficient as possible…
oh wow that is useful, thanks. Is there a way to toggle between “slide” and “ripple” using the keyboard, I notice that in ripple I lose the ability to move stuff between tracks (which i don’t need to do so often so it’s not critical, but would be helpful).
oh wow excellent, “1” will definitely work for me for now, I’ll think about adding a hotkey if I’m using this so much it would be worth improving the efficiency another step. thanks!
basic hotkeys are very handy… at least for my brain cells Ardour/Mixbus clicked for me due to the default hotkeys… ‘s’ for slice, z for zoom, r for range… tab for marker… q go to left marker… w go to right marker… very handy!
I’ve got “s” for slice working well for me, except that I have to use the mouse to click the region I want to slice to select it first, and also to position the blue edit point line where I want to make the cut, and to select the new short region to delete - is there a keyboard way to do all of this?
