sync lock to edit podcast? Ripple delete all tracks?

Eddie Grey described all the necessary features very well. So your final workflow is that you use a combination of two features and you have to enable or disable them based on what type of edit you want to do.

• Shuffle disabled: if you want to do edit Regions (move or trim) without affecting the position of any other Region on that same Track Lane.
• Shuffle enabled: if you want to edit Regions (move or trim) and have the other Regions on that Track Lane update their position accordingly
• Edit Group disabled: if you want to apply an edit to only that Track
• Edit Group enabled: if you want to apply an edit to all Tracks that are a member of that Groups

I don't think you need the SMPTE lock feature in your case because it just adds another unnecessary layer to it. Turning Shuffle on or off in the Drag Menu takes care of it. SMPTE lock is more useful when you are messing around with tempo changes.

Groups can work well for batch edits.

Not sure if this can help but here it is.

Shuffle Mode description: One Region with silence in between them

Enable Shuffle Mode LEFT and cut the space between. I prefer the flexibility of the Marquee Tool. Once you create the dit, the space is gone but another thing happens... the audio information on the right immediately shuffles next to the region on the left.

Best of Luck in your endeavors,

Eddie G.

Using Groups with Shuffle Mode should get you there. Be sure to enable EDITING in the Group Inspector.

In the image below, I have used a Marquee selection on one track and the selection is being reflected on all fronts.

Hope this solves your query,

Hey there,

Please look into SMPTE locking. I believe this will help lock your regions. CTRL+Click the regions you wish to lock and find this in the contextual menu.

If you would like to clean up audio with the touch of a key command, I highly recommend “Remove Silence from Audio Region”. Key Command is CTRL+X. Although it works on one region at a time, it is a very efficient way of editing silent spaces on audio regions.

Hope this is helpful,

Eddie G.

Can you try shuffle mode? This could be helpful as well. I’m your case, SHUFFLE LEFT should help. Let me know if this works. When you delete a portion of the audio region, the rest of the audio will automatically shift (in this case to the left).

This can be found next to the snap to grid menu.

It should work with editing as well. I will send over in a bit here.

Also, if SMPTE is locked...the regions will not move in this manner so you may have to "activate" it on or off based on your editing needs.
