<h3>Mouse Modes</h3>
<h2>Mouse Modes</h2>
<dl class="wide-table">
<dt id="object">Object Tool</dt>
<dd>Used for selecting, moving, deleting and copying objects. See below for a full description.</dd>
<dt>Range Mode</dt>
<dd>When in range mode, the mouse pointer appears as a vertical line whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. The mouse will now be able to select a point or range of time. Time ranges can be selected over one or several tracks, depending on the selection of your tracks.
<p>If none of your track is selected, the Range Tool will operate on all the session track visualized in the Editor.</p>
<p>If you want to operate just some track, select the track you want to edit with the Range Tool.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Zoom Tool</dt>
<dd>When in zoom mode, the mouse pointer appears as a magnifying glass whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. This mode is used to zoom the display to any range that is determined by clicking and dragging the Button1 to specify the range. You can also utilize a single click with Button1 to zoom in by one level focused on the mouse cursor, likewise a single click on Button3 will zoom out by one level focused on the mouse.</dd>
<dt>Region Gain Tool</dt>
<dd>When in gain edit mode, the mouse pointer will change to cross-hairs. You can then click within a region to change the gain automation for that region. This automation is separate from fader automation for individual tracks, but works in conjunction with the track's fader. This automation will remain locked to the region's time, so if the region is moved, the region gain automation is moved along with it.</dd>
<dt>TimeFX Tool</dt>
<dd>When in timefx mode, the mouse pointer appears as a distinctive 'expanding' illustration whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. This mode is used to resize regions using a timestretch algorithm. It is utilized by clicking on an edge of a region of audio and dragging it one way or the other to either stretch or shrink the region.</dd>
<dt>Audition Tool</dt>
<dd>Clicking a region using the "audition" tool will audition the region.
<p>You can also "scrub" with this tool by clicking and dragging in the direction you wish to listen. The amount you drag in one direction or the other will determine the playback speed.</p>

<dt id="object">Object Mode</dt>
<dd>The <dfn>object mode</dfn> is used for selecting, moving, deleting and
copying objects. When in object mode, the mouse pointer appears as a hand
whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. The mouse can now be
used to select and perform operations on objects such as regions, markers etc.
This is the most common mode to work in, as it allows you to select and move regions,
as well as modify automation points on the automation tracks.
</dd>
<dt>Range Mode</dt>
<dd>When in <dfn>range mode</dfn>, the mouse pointer appears as a vertical line
whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. The mouse will now be
able to select a point or range of time. Time ranges can be selected over
one or several tracks, depending on the selection of your tracks.
<p>
If none of your tracks is selected, the Range Tool will operate on all the
session track visualized in the Editor.
</p>
<p>
If you want to edit only particular tracks, select them before you apply
the range tool.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Zoom Tool</dt>
<dd>When in <dfn>zoom mode</dfn>, the mouse pointer appears as a magnifying glass
whenever it is over the track canvas or the rulers. Select the area to
zoom to with a <kbd class="mouse">Left drag</kbd>. A single <kbd
class="mouse">Left</kbd> click zooms in by one level around the mouse cursor,
likewise a single <kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd> click will zoom out by one
level.</dd>
<dt>Region Gain Tool</dt>
<dd>When in <dfn>gain edit</dfn> mode, the mouse pointer will change to
cross-hairs. You can then click within a region to change the <dfn>gain
envelope</dfn> for that region. This curve is separate from fader automation
for individual tracks. It will remain locked to the region's time, so if the
region is moved, the region gain envelope is moved along with it.</dd>
<dt>Time Effects Tool</dt>
<dd>When in <dfn>time fx</dfn> mode, the mouse pointer appears as a
distinctive expanding square symbol whenever it is over the track canvas or
the rulers. This mode is used to resize regions using a timestretch
algorithm.
Click on an edge of a region of audio and drag it one way or the other to
stretch or shrink the region.</dd>
<dt>Audition Tool</dt>
<dd>Clicking a region using the <dfn>audition tool</dfn> will play this
region to the control room outputs.
<p>You can also <dfn>scrub</dfn> with this tool by clicking and dragging in
the direction you wish to listen. The amount you drag in one direction or
the other will determine the playback speed.</p>
