Gluing Objects Together

You can glue two or more objects on a track together to form one object. This also executes an object freeze, which means that the object effects, except for the fade-in and fade-out of an object, are calculated into a new audio file and placed in the "FreezeData" folder of the project folder.

Unlike the object freeze with multiple objects selected, however, gluing together combines all objects into a single file, including all objects and gaps that lie on the track in between. If objects are selected on multiple tracks, one object is created per track.

To glue two or more objects together into one object, select both objects or, in case of multiple objects, the first and the last object, and choose Glue objects from the menu Object > Edit objects or from the context menu of the objects or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + G. If only one object was selected, it will be glued together with the object to the right of it.

There is also a toolbar icon for the function, it is hidden but can be added to a toolbar via Edit toolbars.

It is not possible to glue MIDI and audio objects together

For the glued object, the Freeze option is also set in the Object Editor. If you deactivate the option or select Unfreeze Objects in the menu Object > Freeze Objects (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + U), the object will be separated into its old components again. Likewise, subsequent editing of the glued-together objects is possible with Edit Object Freeze.

Note: In order to keep mono objects from changing into stereo objects during gluing, activate the option Keep mono if possiblein the System options > Effects > Resampling/bouncing.
