Chapter 25: Editing Regions and Selections 499
To separate a selection without affecting the
original regions:
1
With the Selector tool, make an Edit selection.
The selection can reside within a single region,
across adjacent regions within the same track, or
across multiple tracks.
2
From the Grabber tools pop-up menu, choose
the Separation Grabber tool.
3
While pressing Alt (Windows) or Option
(Mac), drag the selection to the new location, or
to another track.
New regions containing the previous selection
are created and placed at the new location. The
original selection and regions remain intact.
Region Overlap and Underlap
When a tick-based audio track has multiple re-
gions, an increase in tempo can cause neighbor-
ing regions to overlap. Audio regions can be set
to display a small “dog-ear” corner to indicate
overlapping region boundaries.
To toggle the display of overlap and underlap
region boundaries:
„
Choose
View > Region > Overlap
.
Changing Region Overlap/Underlap
After tempo changes with tick-based audio, and
other edits, regions may overlap in undesired
ways. To correct this, a region can be brought to
the front, or sent behind neighboring regions as
needed.
To change the region overlap or underlap:
1
In the Edit window, choose the region or re-
gions you want to re-order.
2
Do one of the following:
• Choose
Region > Bring to Front
to make the
region overlap the neighboring regions.
– or –
• Choose
Region > Send to Back
to make the
region underlap the neighboring regions.
If multiple overlapping regions are selected,
Pro Tools will apply the command to each re-
gion as that region relates to the neighboring re-
gion on the right.
