Question

How to select more than one track

  • March 6, 2020

I'm using ripple delete to clean up a podcast conversation.

 

Voice 1 - track one (Multiple clips)

Voice 2 track two (multiple clips)

Music - track 3

Noise bed - track 4

 

How do I ripple delete tracks one and two but leave 3 and 4?

 

Another approach would be to lock 3 and 4 for editing but I haven't found that either.

 

If any of you advanced users can suggest some features or workflow tips that's be great.

    Make the time selection on the first track (which will be highlighted). Then whilst holding the Ctrl key down, select the other track you want to ripple delete from. You will now have a time selection, and two highlighted tracks. Then use Alt+Backspace to ripple-delete from the selected tracks only.

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    This doesn't appear to work on my Mac version. Do you know if the functionality is different or do I need to turn on that feature in a menu?

    The functionality is identical, but you may have to find what the alternative to a Ctrl key is, in order to make multiple track selections. I believe that it might be the key, but I can't confirm that here, as I don't have a Mac.
