How to: Move Audio Within Seperated Region Only
 

How can I move only the audio within a seperated region?

I've tried everything and can't figure it out.

Everytime I move the region, it's move it's on the timeline, all I want to do is move the audio within the seperated region where it's currently at on the timeline.

Any ideas? Also, is it possible to automatically create crossfades when you seperate a region? Reaper has both of these options, I just hope pro tools does as well.

Using Pro tools 10 here.

See the Keyboard Shortcuts document, it's one of your best Pro Tools friends.

For moving audio within a region, IIRC, it's Start + Num Pad "+" or "-" for PC and Control + Num Pad "+" or "-" for Mac. Remember, it won't work on whole files. There has to be "unshown" audio for the audio to be able to move.

In vanilla Pro Tools 10 there is no automatic fades generated when a region is cut. That's only in the CPTK or HD. However, there is Batch Fade and this can be set to any value you want. Highlight the region(s) you want fades on and hit Ctrl + F on PC or Command + F on Mac to open the Batch Fades Dialogue. Set the parameters you want - pay particular attention to "Adjust existing fades" and be sure to uncheck this parameter, otherwise any fades you've already applied to the highlighted region(s) will be changed to the setting in the Batch Fades dialogue - and click okay. Once you've set the Batch Fades parameters where you want them, just hightlight the region(s) you want fades on and hit the "F" key in Commands Focus Mode.

Cheers,

is it possible to move the audio without using the keyboard? I'd like to use the mouse and not the keyboard to move the audio.

Does anyone know how to do this without using the keyboard and only using mouse?

Try SLIP mode(assuming you are in GRID mode right now). Otherwise, maybe we)me anyway) are not really understanding the question. Audio is a region, so the question is a tad confusing.

This works exactly how I want it to, but I don't want to use the keyboard to move the audio within the region, I want to use my mouse instead.

thats the only way i've ever moved it myself... never known of any way to do it with a mouse...

In Slip Mode, use the Grabber Tool (with the mouse) and slip the region to wherever you want it. Search the Pro Tools Reference Guide for details.

Only way to move the content in a stationary clip, is to nudge the audio within it. Unfortunately, you can't nudge with the mouse.

Why do you need crossfades when you just seperate regions? in that case there is no need for a fade.
