Hi,

I'm trying my best with Ardour and understand some of the basics but there are a couple of very simple things I'm struggling with. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

First of all I import a wav into my multitrack session but I want to work on that wav and parts of it. In other DAW I can go into single track edit mode and play around with just that track and save just that track etc. I don't understand how I do this in Ardour.

Secondly I want to select part of a track and apply a simple filter like increasing db gain. How do I select just a part of the track (I've tried changing the edit modes and using the select/move range button but when I make a simple change like 'normalise' it normalises the entire track).

Finally - where are the filters (fade in/out, reverb, etc)? There doesn't appear to be a big drop-down list as per Audition, Audacity etc. I only need the basics like normalise, fade in/out, gain, crackle filters.

Help with these three issues will push me on leaps and bounds! Thanks in advance.
