Liña de Tempo#

Información xeral#

Editing in the timeline is the most common workflow inside Zrythm. The timeline section consists of the tracklist on the left and the ruler/arranger on the right, along with a timeline-specific toolbar at the top.

Minimap#

The timeline minimap is a little box that represents the current visible area of the timeline. It can be moved around and resized to change the visible area.

Regra#

A regra utilízase fundamentalmente para controlar os bucles e a reprodución.

A regra amosará máis ou menos información dependendo do nivel de zoom actual. Tamén amosará os seguintes marcadores/indicadores comentados en Puntos de Bucle.

Cue point: Displayed as a blue, right-pointing arrow.
Playhead position: Shown as a grey, down-facing arrow.
Puntos de bucle: Shown as 2 green arrows, and the area between them is shown in bright green if loop is enabled, or grey if disabled. Can be dragged to reposition.

Tip

Looping can be enabled/disabled using the loop button in the transport controls.

Clicking and dragging on empty space in the bottom half of the ruler will allow you to reposition the playhead.

Tip

You can Control-click and drag the loop region to move it.

Configurando o Punto de Referencia#

Fai dobre clic dentro da regra para colocar o punto de referencia. Usarase para volver cando pare a reprodución.

Range Selection#

Clicking and dragging in the top half of the ruler will create a range selection. If an existing range exists, you can click an drag it to move it.

Arranxador#

The timeline arranger is the main area where the song is composed. It consists of a collection of events, such as regions, positioned against time. Some events (such as regions) will open separate windows for further editing when clicked.

The timeline arranger is split into a top arranger that remains fixed on top and a bottom arranger below it. This way you can pin tracks you want to always be visible at the top.

Adjusting Fades#

Audio regions can have fades. Fades are gradual increases or decreases in the level of the audio signal, and their positions can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the top left/right corners of the region.

../_images/audio-region-fade-out2.png — Adjusting fade out point (drop)#

Clicking and dragging the grey part up or down will adjust the curviness of the fade.

All audio regions have some additional, built-in fade in and fade out that cannot be disabled. This is used to avoid clipping and should be unnoticable.
