Arranger track

The Arranger track is an arrangement tool that provides several workflow benefits:

Easily rearrange sections of the entire project as one unit instead of moving individual clips. For example, instantly swap the positions of the first and second chorus for all tracks, or copy the first verse in order to double its duration.

Experiment with different song structures in a non-destructive and non-linear manner. For example, does your song work best in AABA, ABAB, or ABAC song form? Define time range sections and sequence them in any order without destructively moving any clip data. You can even save multiple arrangements within each project.

Create a color coded overview of the song structure, and use the Arranger Inspector to quickly navigate around the project and jump to song sections.

Create arbitrary song sections anywhere on the project timeline, then later string them together for seamless playback.

Sections provide an additional way to perform time based selections and edits of the project.

Create an unlimited number of arrangements per project, which can all be exported simultaneously.

Arranger functionality is distributed across two views:

Arranger track (see Arranger tracks)

Arranger Inspector (see Arranger Inspector)
