10 To the right of the track display is the region list, which uses a tree
11 display to show all regions in the session. There are sections in the
12 region list, “Captured” and “External”.
13 “Captured” contains all regions that were either recorded by
14 Ardour or imported as native audio files. “External”contains
15 regions created using audio files external to Ardour (from a sample
16 library, for example).

22 In both sections of the region list, any regions containing multiple
23 channels will have its name followed by “[N]” where N is a
24 number indicating the number of channels. Any region that ends in
25 “-N”, where N is a number, is a region that describes an
26 entire audio file. Any region that ends in “.N” is a
27 region that describes part of an audio file. Any subtree within the
28 region list can be hidden or displayed by clicking on the box left of
33 Within the Captured part of the tree, each track is represented by its
34 own subtree (strictly speaking, its not each track but each playlist
35 that is represented). Within that subtree is an entry for each take
36 recorded for that track. Remember that each take is stored as one and
37 audio files (strictly, one per channel). Within the take tree is an
38 entry for each region created from that take.
42 Within the External part of the tree, there is a subtree for each
43 audio file embedded into the session. Within that subtree are entries
44 for each region created from that audio file.
