Selecting Data and Positioning the Cursor

 

Selecting data and positioning the cursor are the first steps in most editing processes. After you have selected data, you can cut, copy, paste, mix, add effects, and more.

The selection status bar in each data window shows the beginning, end, and length of a selection. If no selection has been made, the cursor position is displayed.
