Clips pane
The Clips pane shows the clips in your project on a timeline that helps you visualize how your project
is organized. Clips contain markings that indicate their contents. The Clips pane lets you select,
move, and copy clips from place to place to change the arrangement of music and sound in your
project.
The Track view makes it easy to select tracks, clips, and ranges of time in a project. These are the
most common selection methods:
As with most other Windows programs, you can also use the SHIFT-click and CTRL-click
combinations when selecting tracks and clips. Holding the SHIFT key while you click adds tracks or
clips to the current selection. Holding the CTRL key while you click lets you toggle the selection
status of tracks or clips.

“Automation” on page 1101
Bus pane
The Bus pane contains all of your project’s buses. You display the Bus pane by clicking the Show/
Hide Bus Pane button , which is located at the bottom of the Track view.
You use the buses in the Bus pane to patch in effects, control output volume and pan, and group
tracks into subgroups.

Track/Bus Inspector
The Track/Bus Inspector makes it easy to adjust the current track’s (or bus’s) controls, because it’s a
greatly expanded version of the current track’s controls that is located on the left side of the Track
pane.
For more information about the Inspector, see “Inspectors” on page 571.
