WORKING WITH TRACKS CHP. 5

Phase inverting a track (audio only)

The Invert Track Phase button ( ) inverts the audio track at its baseline, in effect reversing its polarity.

Inverting a track, while creating little audible difference, is occasionally useful for matching transitions when

mixing audio on separate tracks or fine-tuning a crossfade.

You can also phase invert an audio event. If an event on a track is inverted and you invert the track, the

event is doubly-inverted (restored to its original state). For more information, see Invert phase (audio only) on

page 118.

Muting a track

The Mute button ( ) in the track list temporarily suspends playback of the track so that you can focus on

another track. When a track is muted, it appears grayed out on the track view. You can mute more than one

track at a time.

To mute a track, click the

Mute button. To mute several tracks, select the tracks and click the Mute button on

any of the selected tracks. Click the

Mute button again to restore the track(s).

Tip:

Press and click the Mute button to mute only the

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

selected track is already muted, press and click the

Mute

button to restore all tracks.

Muting all audio or video tracks

You may mute either all audio or all video tracks in a project. From the Options menu, choose Mute All Audio

Mute All Video.

Soloing a track

The Solo button ( ) in the track list isolates a track’s events for playback and mutes the other non-soloed

tracks. This allows you to focus on a track’s contents without the distraction of other tracks. You can solo

more than one track at a time.

To solo a track, click the

Solo button on that track. To solo several tracks, select the tracks and click the Solo

button on any of the selected tracks. Click the

Solo button again to restore the track(s) for playback.

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.
