Soloing tracks

Located next to the Mute button, the Solo button ( ) allows you isolate tracks in a project during playback.

When you click this button during playback, the corresponding track remains audible and all other tracks are

muted. Clicking the

Solo button a second time returns all tracks to their original levels in the mix. Toggle-

soloing a track is an effective method of configuring and previewing isolated track effects against how they

sound in the project.

You can also press to solo a track or group of tracks.

Tip:

Press and click the Solo button to solo only the

selected track (and restore any other soloed tracks). If the

selected track is already soloed, press and click the

Solo

button to restore all tracks.

Working with groups of tracks

Select a group of tracks by holding the key while you click the track header of the desired tracks. Now

you can adjust the volume, panning, track color, and other track attributes simultaneously.

Using undo and redo

ACID provides unlimited undo and redo capabilities. ACID adds each edit you perform in the project to an

undo history, which allows you to quickly restore the project to any of its previous states. In addition,

undoing an edit automatically places it in the project’s redo history where it can be quickly re-performed.

However, any new edit performed on the project overwrites the redo history.

Note:

The undo and redo histories are cleared when you

close the project or exit ACID.

Using undo

To undo an edit, click the Undo button ( ) on the toolbar or press . Edits are undone in the reverse

order they were performed.

Tip:

You can also undo the most recent edit by choosing

Undo from the Edit menu.

Undoing a series of edits

Clicking the down arrow next to the Undo button ( ) displays the project’s undo history. The history

displays as a drop-down list with the most recent edit located at the top. Undoing an edit in the list requires

all subsequent edits to be undone as well.

Click the arrow to the right of the Undo button ( ). The undo history appears.

Locate the edit to be undone. Notice that all subsequent edits are automatically selected and the total

number of edits to be undone is indicated at the bottom of the drop-down list.

Click the edit to be undone. The project is restored to the state it was in prior to the selected edit.
