The Project window
FX channel tracks are automatically placed in a special
folder, for easier management. When this folder track is
selected, the Inspector shows the folder and the FX chan-
nels it contains. You can click one of the FX channels
shown in the folder to have the Inspector show the set-
tings for that FX channel – this way you don’t have to
“open” a folder track to access the settings for the FX
channels in it.
Group channel tracks
When a Group channel track is selected, the following
controls and sections are available:
• Edit button
• Volume control
• Pan control
• Output Routing pop-up menu
• Inserts section
• Equalizers section
• Equalizer Curve section
• Sends section
• Studio Sends section (Cubase only)
• Surround Pan section (Cubase only)
• Channel section
•Notepad section
Just like FX channel tracks, all Group channel tracks are
placed in a separate folder – when this is selected, the In-
spector shows the folder and the Group channels it con-
tains. You can click one of the Group channels shown in
the folder to have the Inspector show the settings for that
Group channel – this way, you don’t have to “open” a folder
track to access the settings for the Group channels in it.
Marker tracks
When the marker track is selected, the Inspector shows
the marker list. For more information, see the section
“Markers” on page 54.
Ruler tracks (Cubase only)
For ruler tracks, the Inspector isn’t used.
Transpose track
When the transpose track is selected, the following con-
trols and sections are available:
• Mute button
• Keep Transpose in Octave range
• Toggle Timebase button
• Lock button
• Notepad section
The Transpose track controls are described in detail in the
chapter “The Transpose functions” on page 103.
Signature track and tempo track
For the signature track and the tempo track, the Inspector
displays a list of all time signature events or tempo events.
See the chapter “Editing tempo and signature” on page
401 for details.
Video tracks
When a video track is selected, the Inspector contains a
lock button for locking the track (see “Locking events” on
page 48), a Mute button for interrupting video playback
and two settings for how the video thumbnails are shown:
Show Frame Numbers and Snap Thumbnails (see “Play-
ing back a video file” on page 447).
