The Project window
Audio tracks
For audio tracks, all settings and sections listed above are
available.
Instrument tracks
As explained in the chapter “VST Instruments and Instru-
ment tracks” on page 99, the Inspector for an Instrument
track shows some of the sections you would find for VST
Instrument channels and MIDI tracks.
MIDI tracks
When a MIDI track is selected, the Inspector contains a
number of additional sections and parameters, affecting the
MIDI events in realtime (e.g. on playback). Which sections
are available for MIDI tracks is described in the chapter
“MIDI realtime parameters” on page 166.
Folder tracks
When a folder track is selected, the Inspector shows the
folder and its underlying tracks, much like a folder struc-
ture in the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder.
Ö You can click one of the tracks shown under the folder
in the Inspector to have the Inspector show the settings
for that track. This way, you don’t have to “open” a folder
track to make settings for tracks within it.
FX channel tracks
When an FX channel track is selected, the following con-
trols and sections are available:
• Edit button
• Volume control
• Pan control
• Output Routing pop-up menu
• Inserts section
• Equalizers section
• Sends section
• Channel section
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
• Sends section
• Channel 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 38.
Video tracks
When a video track is selected, the Inspector contains a
Mute button for interrupting video playback.
Equalizers
section
Lets you adjust the EQs for the track. You can have up to
four bands of EQ for each track, see “Making EQ set-
tings” on page 77. The Edit button at the top of the sec-
tion opens the Channel Settings window for the track.
Channel
section
Shows a duplicate of the corresponding mixer channel
strip. The channel overview strip to the left lets you acti-
vate and deactivate insert effects, EQs and sends.
