Master Views for Tracks
Audio, MIDI, and Instrument tracks have Track
Views that act as “master.” When a track is dis-
played in its Master view, any edits performed ap-
ply to all data in the track. For instance, when an
audio track is set to Waveform, copying and past-
ing affects not just the waveform information, but
all of the automation data as well.
The Master view is based on the type of track, as
follows:
• Audio tracks: Waveform and Blocks
• MIDI and Instrument tracks: Clips, Blocks,
and Notes (when using the Selector tool)
Track Height
Tracks can be viewed in the Edit window at any of
eight heights:
Micro, Mini, Small, Medium, Large,
Jumbo, Extreme and Fit To Window. Larger track
heights are particularly useful for precise editing,
especially for MIDI. Smaller track heights are use-
ful for conserving screen space in a large session.
You can adjust track heights on an individual track
basis or set all tracks to the same height. Track
heights can be changed during playback.
To set the Track Height, do one of the following:
Click the small arrow to the left of the Track
name to get the
Track Height pop-up menu.
Right-click on the vertical zoom scale just to the
right of the track controls and choose the height
from the pop-up menu.
The track is resized to the new height. If the track is
part of an Edit Group, all tracks in the group are set
to the new height.
To resize all tracks proportionally:
Click Edit window Vertical Zoom In or Out but-
ton.
Track Height pop-up menu
Press Control+Up/Down Arrow key (Mac)
or Start+Up/Down Arrow key (Windows) to
increase/decrease track height of any track
that contains a selection or in which the edit
cursor is currently placed.
