Working with Selections
Pro Tools provides various ways of making selections and adjusting the
selection boundaries. The following sections describe some common
selection techniques.
Creating Separate Timeline Selections and Edit Selections
The default setting in Pro Tools links Timeline selections and Edit selections
together. This means that whenever you select an area on the Timeline, you
simultaneously select the same area in each of your Track Playlists.
Conversely, whenever you select a clip or area in any Track Playlist, you
simultaneously select the same area in the Timeline. This is often the easiest
way to work because it allows you to easily play back areas as you adjust
your selection and to easily re-record selected areas on a track.
However, in advanced workflows, you might encounter situations in which
you want to unlink the Timeline selection from the Edit selection. You can
link and unlink the Timeline selection and Edit selection using the LINK
TIMELINE AND EDIT SELECTION toggle button in the Edit window. This
button is blue when the Timeline and Edit selections are linked.
