The Project window
Muted events can be edited as usual (with the exception
of adjusting fades), but are not played back.
Muted events are “grayed out”.
• You can also mute whole tracks by clicking the Mute
(“M”) button in the Track list, the Inspector or the mixer.
Clicking the Solo (“S”) button for a track mutes all other tracks. Note that
there are two modes for the track solo function:
If the option “Enable Solo on Selected Track” is activated in the Prefer-
ences (Editing–Project & Mixer page) and you have soloed a track, se-
lecting another track in the track list will automatically solo that track
instead – the solo state “moves” with the track selection.
If the option isn’t activated, the track you solo stays soloed, regardless of
the selection.
Removing events
To remove an event from the Project window, use any of
the following methods:
• Click on the event with the Eraser tool.
Note that if you press [Alt]/[Option] while you click, all following events
on the same track will be deleted, but not the event you clicked and all
events before it.
• Select the event(s) and press [Backspace], or select
“Delete” from the Edit menu.
Creating new files from events
An audio event plays a section of an audio clip, which in
turn refers to one or more audio files on the hard disk.
However, in some situations you may want to create a new
file that consists only of the section played by the event.
This is done with the function “Bounce Selection” on the
Audio menu:
1. Select one or several audio events.
2. Set up fade in, fade out and event volume (on the info
line or using the volume handle) as desired.
These settings will be applied to the new file. For details on fades and
event volume, see “Creating fades” on page 88.
3. Select “Bounce Selection” from the Audio menu.
You are asked whether you want to replace the selected event or not.
• If you click “Replace”, a new file is created, containing
only the audio in the original event. A clip for the new file is
added to the Pool, and the original event is replaced by a
new event playing the new clip.
• If you click “No”, a new file is created and a clip for the
new file is added to the Pool.
The original event is not replaced.
You can also apply the Bounce Selection function to an
audio part. In that case, the audio from all events in the
part will be combined into a single audio file. If you choose
“Replace” when asked, the part will be replaced with a
single audio event playing a clip of the new file.
Editing in Lane Display mode
When you are recording in Stacked cycle recording
mode, each take ends up on a separate lane on the track,
see “Recording audio in Stacked mode” on page 77 and
“Cycle Record mode: Stacked/Stacked 2 (No Mute)” on
page 82. However, you can also select this lane mode
manually for individual tracks, and use it when editing in
the Project window. This makes it easier to view and han-
dle overlapping events and parts.
Audio tracks
1. In the Track list or in the Inspector for the selected
track, click the Lane Display Type button and select “Lanes
Fixed” from the pop-up menu.
The audio track is divided vertically into two lanes. By default, all audio
events end up in the first (top) lane.
