Hi guys,
I want to remove a specific section from my project. let’s say everything between Bar 5 to Bar 9 in my session (four bars removal in total), and I want to delete everything within that section across all tracks, including both pinned and unpinned tracks. My workflow is usually to highlight the time range first (horizontally), then extend the selection vertically to include all tracks before removing the section. In other DAW I used, there’s usually a keyboard shortcut that, when you highlight a specific range (e.g., four bars), it automatically selects all the tracks vertically within that range when you press the shorcut. This is ideally what I was expecting to find , but I’m not sure if this exists. If it does, I want to know what is it named
The way I do it now is to first highlight the four-bar range on one track in the pinned section, then drag vertically to highlight all the tracks in the pinned section for those bars. The issue is that I can’t extend this vertical highlighting to the unpinned section in one go. Because the pinned and unpinned sections are treated separately, I have to repeat the process for the unpinned section after finishing the pinned section. For reference, when I say pinned tracks, I mean the ones that stay visible in the upper part of the Project Window even when scrolling through the lower section. This is part of my template setup and part of a reason why I cant find an easy way to this vertical session highlighting issue.
So is there a way to acheive this easier?
Edit: i found what i was looking for. in edit > select > in loop, I assigned a shortcut to it. now I can click on a track in the pinned section to select the looped range, then move to the unpinned section and click again to repeat the selection there. (finally delete bars)
