Tracktion 4 Reference Manual
63
To the right of the control panel, you will nd the properties panel (Fig. 3.1.8). Again, like the con-
trol panel, you have probably already encountered this section many times during the course of this
manual. You may not yet have realised how fundamental this area is to Tracktion’s work-ow model,
however. The properties panel is a context sensitive interface that displays settings and options rel-
evant to the currently selected item. Whenever a tool, or item is selected, this panel will display options
relevant to the selection.
The nal piece of the edit page puzzle is called the transport section (Fig. 3.1.9). It is here that you can
control the playback and record status of Tracktion. In addition to the transport controls, there are a few
extra options and controls available in this section. All of these options are covered in detail in Section Six
of this chapter.
