Deleting Tracks
When you delete tracks, your audio or

gions List, but your arrangement of the re-
gions on the deleted track (the track’s play-
list) will be lost. The Delete Selected Tracks
command cannot be undone.

lect it. If you wish to select multiple tracks,

from the session.
Hiding Tracks
The Show/Hide Tracks List (at the left of
both the Mix and Edit windows) shows all
tracks in the session. It allows you to show
or hide a track by selecting or deselecting
its name. Even though a track is hidden,
the material on the track will still play as
part of the session.
To show a track, click to highlight its name.
To hide a track, deselect its name.
The pop-up menu at the top of Show/Hide
Tracks List provides commands that allow
you to show or hide all tracks, or only
tracks currently selected on screen.
When a track that is a member of an active
group is hidden from view, editing opera-
tions performed on other members of the
group in the Edit window will not affect
the hidden track. In the Mix window how-
ever, all operations other than record-en-
able will affect a hidden track that is a
member of an active group.
▲ On TDM systems, even if a track is hidden
from view, its position relative to other tracks
still affects virtual track playback priority.
