In windows, and using an english or US keeboard, you can use the left and right brackets to mark the beginning and end of a selection. In case of a different keeboard, you can probably change the kee assigned to the marks in the keeboard shortkuts dialog under the preferences menu; probably the same applies to mac as well.

Like Windows system, I can select and unselect my track… I’m verifying before editing my track… I d’ont understand why I can’t select easily with my arrow keys… Can we make any markers on a track like others sound editors ? Beginner marker and end markers… After we can delete that there’s between two markers ?

Reading the manual, i found that by default, at least in windows, all the audio in a track is selected unless we actually make a selection. So I followed the instructions and just went to the preferences menu and to the tracks dialog. Tabbing arround, there i found Behaviors Select all audio in project, if none selected check box checked, and unchecked it. Also, it’s important to press enter to actually select a track before being able to edit the audio. I don’t really know if these rules apply to the mac system, but hope that helps anyway.

So I’d like to select a pice of record on one track. For example, begin selection at 00:00:03 to end selection at 00:00:03. I can use selection bar but if I want be more perfect I must adjust selection with Shift+right arrow or Shift+left Arrow or Shift+Command+Right arrow and Shift+Command+Left Arrow. But when I want to make selection with arrow key, if I delete selection, all content of my track is deleted. Before, I see in selection bar what it’s select and my selection is good. Please, tell me if I forget something to delete juste my selection and not all content of track !!! I’m french lol… Sorry for my bad english… Amicalement… —————— Manu - Mail : etann@xxxxxxxxxxxx - Skype : manu-dpk Découvres mes compositions personnelles sur mon site web officiel : http://www.manu-dpk.net L'association DVRGV, c’est quoi ?
