User Manual

–
Arm button: This button arms recording onto that track.
–
Solo button: Disables all other tracks but the current one, enabling you to quickly
hear a single track in isolation. This affects rendering, so if one or more tracks are
soloed, the muted tracks won’t be output or rendered.
–
Mute button: Temporarily disables audio on that track so it’s neither monitored nor
output. This affects rendering, so if one or more tracks are muted, they won’t be
output or rendered.
–
Audio meters: Each track has audio meters in the track header that let you see
levels during playback.
 Toolbar editing tools: The toolbar contains both modal and command buttons to let
you work on your projects. More detail on these appears in the following section.
 Vertical and horizontal scroll bars: If your project is longer than the current width of the
Timeline, or the number of audio tracks is taller than the current height of the Timeline,
these scroll bars let you drag to navigate around your program. When you scroll
horizontally, you also move the playhead. You may also scroll vertically using the scroll
wheel (or other scroll control) of your mouse or other pointing device. You may scroll
horizontally by holding the Command key down while using your scroll control.
 Individual Timeline track resizing: Any track in the Timeline can be individually resized
by right-clicking anywhere within that track’s header control area and choosing a track
height from the Lock Track Height To submenu of the contextual menu. You can choose
a fixed size including Micro, Mini, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. When you choose
a fixed track height, vertical zooming no longer affects that track until you change that
track’s Lock Track Height to option back to None.
Resizing an individual audio timeline track using contextual menu options
Zooming Audio Waveform Height
You can zoom into or out of the audio waveforms shown in each clip of one or more tracks, to
make them taller or shorter, or you can reset them to unity. This doesn’t change the audio levels
of clips in affected tracks, it just lets you make the audio waveforms easier to see.
To zoom audio waveform height using your scroll wheel:
Hold down Command-Option, and roll the scroll wheel or control up or down to resize
all waveforms in all tracks.
