The Sort Tracks By command allows you to set
the track order according to Name, Type, Edit
Group, Mix Group or Voice. The sort order will
be reflected in the Show/Hide Tracks List in the
Edit Window and the Mix Window.
When a track that is a member of an active
group is hidden from view, editing operations
performed on other members of the group in
the Edit window will not affect the hidden track.
In the Mix window, however, all operations
other than record-enable will affect a hidden
track that is a member of an active group.
To hide a track:
■ Click the highlighted name of the track in the
Show/Hide Tracks List.
To show a track that is currently hidden:
■ Click the unhighlighted name of the track in
the Show/Hide Tracks List.
To show all tracks:
1 Click the Show/Hide button at the top of the
Show/Hide Tracks List.
2 From the pop-up menu, choose Show All
Tracks.
To hide all tracks:
1 Click the Show/Hide button at the top of the
Show/Hide Tracks List.
2 From the pop-up menu, choose Hide All
Tracks.
About Groups and Show/Hide Tracks
Even if a track is hidden, if it is a member of an
enabled group, all Mix window operations per-
formed on other members of the group will also
affect the hidden track—with the exception of au-
dio or MIDI record-enabling. If you solo, mute,
or automation write-enable a grouped track, any
group members that are hidden will be soloed,
muted, or automation write-enabled as well.
In the Edit window, however, editing operations
performed on members of an enabled group will
not affect hidden tracks that are also members of
the enabled group.
Sort Tracks By option
On TDM systems, even if a track is hidden
from view, its position relative to other
tracks still affects its voiceable track play-
back priority (see “Voiceable Tracks and
Track Priority” on page 98 for details).
You can also show all tracks by Alt-clicking
(Windows) or Option-clicking (Macintosh)
the name of any track that is unhigh-
lighted.
You can also hide all tracks by Alt-clicking
(Windows) or Option-clicking (Macintosh)
the name of any track that is highlighted.
To reorder tracks on-screen, drag the track
names to new positions within the
Show/Hide Tracks List.
