Tracktion 4 Reference Manual
75
Destination output for this track: By default all tracks send their output to the default audio device. If
you wish to have audio sent to an alternate audio device, or have the MIDI data from a track sent to ex-
ternal MIDI gear, click the output name to display a popup menu from which you can select the desired
destination. You can also send the output of a track, or even a number of tracks, to another track to cre-
ate sub-mixes and busses.
Multiple Selected Track Properties
When many tracks are selected at the same time, the properties displayed (Fig. 3.3.12) differs slight-
ly from those of a single track.
Tip: To select more than one track, hold down the CTRL key (CMD for Mac users) while clicking on
the track names. When the SHIFT key is held down, selecting two tracks will also automatically select
all tracks between them.
As you can see, the majority of the settings are consistent, however, a few settings that do not make
sense in the context of multiple track selections are missing, and one new button is available:
Create folder containing: This option will take a number of existing tracks and wrap them into a
new folder track.
Folder Track Properties
When a folder track is selected, its properties will be displayed in the properties panel (Fig. 3.3.13).
The folder track properties is effectively a hybrid between the standard track properties, and the mul-
tiple selected track properties.
