Handling Overlapping Audio
The basic rule for audio tracks is that each track can only play back a single audio
event at a time. If two or more events overlap, you will only hear one of them: the one
that is actually visible (e.
g. the last lap of a cycle recording).
If you have a track with overlapping (stacked) events/regions, use one of the
following methods to select the event/region that is played back:
• Open the context menu for the audio event in the event display and select the
desired event or region from the To Front or Set to Region submenu.
The available options depend on whether you performed a linear or a cycle
recording and the record mode you used. When recording audio in cycle
mode, the recorded event is divided in regions, one for each take.
• Use the handle in the middle of a stacked event and select an entry from the
pop-up menu that appears.
How Events are Displayed on Folder Tracks
Closed folder tracks can display data of the contained audio, MIDI, and instrument
tracks as data blocks or as events.
When you close folder tracks, the contents of the contained tracks are displayed as
data blocks or events. Depending on the folder track height, the display of the
events can be more or less detailed.
Modifying Event Display on Folder Tracks
You can modify the event display on folder tracks.
PROCEDURE
1. Right-click the folder track.
2. On the context menu, select Show Data on Folder Tracks.
You have the following options:
• Always Show Data
If this option is activated, data blocks or event details are always displayed.
• Never Show Data
If this option is activated, nothing is displayed.
• Hide Data When Expanded
If this option is activated, the display of events is hidden when you open folder tracks.
• Show Event Details
If this option is activated, event details are displayed. If deactivated, data blocks
are displayed.
NOTE
To change these settings, select File > Preferences > Event Display > Folders.
