2.3 : User Interface
The User Interface Options
Settings related to Tracktion’s user interface can be managed from the user interface group on the
settings page (Fig. 2.3.1).
Username: Set the name of the current Tracktion user. The given user name is stored in the congu-
ration le, and is also stored in edits. Future versions of Tracktion may allow for advanced user based
project management tools.
Import user-settings / export user-settings: You can use these buttons to save and recall con-
guration settings. This allows you to backup your conguration settings, and also to create custom
congurations for different projects or types of project.
Track resizing: This controls how tracks and clips vertically resize when double-clicked.
•
Double-clicking a track toggles between small and medium height: A double-click on a clip
or a track causes the track to resize to a size roughly six times the default track height. This
height is large enough for the MIDI editor tools to become available. A subsequent double-click
reduces the track to the default size.
•
Double-clicking a track toggles between small and large height: A double-click on a clip or
a track causes the track to resize to nearly the height of the arrange area. A subsequent double-
click reduces the track to the default size.
•
Double-clicking a track toggles between small, medium, and large heights: Each double-
click cycles the track height between the three stages.
