The Smart Tool with Stereo and
Multichannel Tracks
When using the Smart Tool on stereo and multi-
channel tracks, individual channels cannot be
independently edited. All edits affects all chan-
nels as a whole.
The tool switching for the Smart Tool in stereo
and multichannel tracks is determined by the
position within the entire track, and not within
individual channels.
To temporarily switch the Smart Tool to the
Eraser, place the cursor over the region so
that the Selector is enabled, then press
Start+Alt (Windows) or Control+Option
(Macintosh).
