To set the Track View:
■ Click the Track View Selector for the track and
choose the format from the pop-up menu.
The track displays the new format. If the track is
part of an active Edit Group, all tracks in the
group are set to the new format.
Toggling Track Views
Most editing of audio tracks occurs in Waveform
and Volume View. For MIDI tracks, most editing
occurs in Notes and Regions View. Pro Tools
provides an easy way to toggle these views for
tracks containing an edit selection or the edit
cursor.
To toggle Track Views:
1 Click in the track you want to toggle. To tog-
gle multiple tracks, Shift-click or drag the Selec-
tor to select additional tracks.
2 Press Start+Minus (Windows) or Control+Mi-
nus (Macintosh) on the alpha keyboard.
– or –
With the Commands Focus enabled, press Mi-
nus on the alpha keyboard.
Audio tracks are toggled between Waveform and
Volume View. MIDI tracks are toggled between
Notes and Regions View.
The Master View Format
Audio and MIDI tracks have Track Views that
act as “master.” When a track is displayed in its
master format, any edits performed apply to all
data in the track. For instance, when an audio
track is set to Waveform, copying and pasting
affects not just the waveform information, but
all of the automation data as well.
The Track Views that act as master for audio and
MIDI tracks are:
• Audio tracks: Waveform and Blocks
• MIDI tracks: Regions, Blocks, and Notes
(when using the Selector)
Auxiliary Input tracks and Master Fader tracks
do not have a Master View. This means that any
edits made to an Auxiliary Input or Master Fader
track affect any automation data in that track
Track Height
Tracks can be viewed in the Edit window at any
of six heights: Mini, Small, Medium, Large, Jumbo,
and Extreme. Larger track heights are particularly
useful for precise editing. Smaller track heights
are useful 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 adjusted during playback.
