Exactly, a 4-pt is not the only way to do it, and I'd probably split it up into two edits anyway unless the part to be replaced was very short (which happens, I've been replacing single notes in some cases). What I don't accept is the suggestion that this sort of thing is never necessary, and that if it is, that is just the result of using the wrong 'workflow'. So far I haven't seen any alternative 'workflow' that would actually get the job done. > The real issue was A2's lack of an ability to move > automation with regions, which Carl has addressed in A3 IIRC. Not in this case, as there was no automation. The real issue is that it is very difficult to move everything to the right of the edit, in particular if this alternates with trimming the start point, trimming the end point of the left side, and listening to the result. It requires constant changing of selections, and zoom factors. One 'erreur de manip' and something gets damaged, and if you don't notice that immediately (and very probably you don't if you are zoomed in) it becomes a nightmare to repair. The underlying problem are 1. That everything is 'visual', done by actually moving regions and their endpoints on screen (and quite ofter being sure you get the right one of these actions is an exercise by itself). 2. That Ardour has no idea at all of what you want to do, it just sees a series of individual operations and consequently can't provide any support. For example if you want to listen to the end of the left part followed by silence, or the start of the right part (to trim them), the only way is to move the right part away, destroying any tentative edit you may already have.
