The Track Menu
The Track menu is where one can deal with the tracks, busses and control masters.
| Add Track, Bus or VCA… | Shows the Add Track, Bus or VCA… window, where one can add one or more tracks, busses or control masters to the session and define its parameters |
|---|---|
| Duplicate Tracks/Busses… | Shows the Duplicate Tracks and Busses window, allowing to duplicate the selected track(s) and optionally, its playlist |
| Toggle Record Enable | Sets the Record Enable mode On on the selected track(s). These tracks will record audio/midi next time the global record is active and playback is started. |
| Toggle Solo | Sets the solo On on the selected tracks, so only these tracks will play |
| Toggle Mute | Mutes the selected tracks, they won't play until unmuted |
| Playlists | |
| Show Playlist Selector | Opens the dialog where you can create new playlists or copy existing ones, as well as switch between playlists immediately |
| New Playlist For All Tracks | Creates a new playlist that includes all tracks |
| New Playlist For Rec-Armed Tracks | Creates a new playlist that includes only the tracks armed for recording |
| New Playlist For Selected Tracks | Creates a new playlist that includes only the selected tracks |
| Copy Playlist For All Tracks | Creates a copy of the current playlist that includes all tracks |
| Copy Playlist For Rec-Armed Tracks | Creates a copy of the current playlist that includes only the tracks armed for recording |
| Copy Playlist For Selected Tracks | Creates a copy of the current playlist that includes only the selected tracks |
| Insert Time | Shows the Insert Time window, allowing to insert a blank time in the selected tracks' playlist |
| Remove Time | Same as above, but to remove time |
| Remove Gaps | Locates gaps between regions and minimizes them, both original and final gap lengths are user-defined |
| Move Selected Tracks Up | Changes the position of the selected tracks one track up towards the top. In the mixer, the tracks will be moved to the left. |
| Move Selected Tracks Down | Same as above, towards the bottom |
| Height | |
| Fit Selection (Vertical) | Will fit the selected track(s) in the window. If too many tracks are selected, they'll be reduced to their minimum height. |
| Largest | Sets the selected tracks height to a very high value, hence making the tracks wide on screen |
| Larger | Same as above, but a little less high |
| Large | Same as above, but again less high |
| Normal | Sets the height of the track to its default value which is a trade-off between readability and number of tracks displayed |
| Small | Reduces the size of the tracks to a low value, increasing the number of on screen tracks |
| Toggle Active | Toggles the active state of a track. An inactive track will be grayed and won't play any sound. That can be seen in the A column of the Tracks and Busses List |
| Remove | Deletes this track and its playlist (no file is harmed in the process, and the regions from the playlist stay in the Editor for later use) |
