Editing Audio Region Groups
Certain audio editing commands create new re-
gions over region groups. To use these com-
mands and maintain the region group, ungroup
the region group, perform the edit, and then re-
group the region group.
The following edit commands create new re-
gions over region groups:
• AudioSuite processing of a grouped region re-
sults in a new region over the region group.
• Consolidating a selection of a grouped region
creates a new audio file and region over the re-
gion group.
• Recording into a region group creates a new
audio file and region over the region group.
• Pencil tool waveform redraw results in a new
region over the region group.
Tabbing to Transients and Region Boundaries
With Tab to Transients enabled, the Tab key
moves the Location Cursor to transients and re-
gion boundaries within a region group.
With Tab to Transients disabled, the Tab key
moves the Location Cursor to region group
boundaries only (and the sync point, if present).
Trimming Region Groups
Trimming region groups with the Standard Trim
tool works the same way as trimming regular re-
gions, regardless of whether you are trimming a
single-track region group or a multitrack region
group.
Trimming a region group does not trim the un-
derlying regions, but rather trims the region
group boundaries. All underlying regions retain
their original length and location. This is true
for all underlying audio and MIDI regions, and
nested region groups. If you trim the region
group shorter, underlying regions may not be
heard on playback because they are outside the
region boundaries of the trimmed region group.
When trimming region groups with the TC/E
Trim tool, it applies only to audio regions, and
creates a new region over the region group.
If you Ungroup after trimming a region group in
(shorter), audio regions falling outside of the
bounds of the current region group are trimmed
to fit the region group boundary or removed.
Recording
When recording audio or MIDI, new regions are
created over (in front) of region groups instead
of being included in the region group. To record
into a region group, first ungroup the region
group, then record, and then regroup the region
group. The region group will be recreated intact
with the newly recorded material.

Transients” on page 407.
