Solved Really basic editing question

[NickinFrance]

Hi,
I have a really basic editing question (almost embarrassed to ask). I recently upgraded to Studio One 7, and the way event editing works seems to have changed.

If I have several events in a track, and I delete one, the others later on in time seem to shuffle to "fill the gap". I am pretty sure this didn't happen in my previous version of Studio One. Same with inserting an event into a blank area of a track - the events after get "pushed" out.

What I want, as a default is that deleting an event doesn't change anything with other events. To give an example, on a guitar track, there some noise at the start, where I accidently hit the strings, and I just want to split the event and cut out that first bit. But the editor seems to then shuffle to rest of it forward.

Am I right in thinking this has changed ? Surely there is a way to make it do what I want ?

For me it is kind of maddening, as simple things seem super complicated.

Thanks for any help.

Nick

You have Ripple Editing enabled. Look in the toolbar for the "ripple edit" icon (or make it visible by right clicking on the bar and choosing "Customize..."), or just use the ripple edit toggle command (cmd+option+r on a Mac, I think). You have it enabled right now, turn it off and you will have the normal editing behavior.

Do you have Ripple Edit enabled?

Thank you both - yes that was it. "Ripple Editing" doesn't seem to me the most obvious description of that function but hey ho....

I think I must of clicked it by accident and not noticed. Anyway, thanks for assisting me in getting it the way I want, and I can see scenarios where it could be useful to enable it now I know how!

Yes, in certain scenarios (podcast editing for example) it's a very useful feature.

"Ripple Edit" is the standard and established name for this feature - it comes from non-linear video editors where it was first introduced ages ago. It is, literally, the "most obvious" description of it.
