Pro Tools Reference Guide420
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), click and drag the selection to the new lo-
cation, 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 re-
gions.
– 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.
