Selecting Tracks with Arrow Keys
You can select tracks and events with the Up Arrow key or the Down Arrow key on the computer
keyboard. However, you can make the Up Arrow key and the Down Arrow key exclusively
available for selecting tracks.
To make the Up Arrow key and the Down Arrow key exclusively available for selecting
tracks, activate Use Up/Down Navigation Commands for selecting Tracks only in the
Preferences dialog (Editing page).
The following applies:
If this option is deactivated and no event/part is selected in the Project window, the Up
Arrow key and the Down Arrow key are used to step through the tracks in the track list.
If this option is deactivated and an event/part is selected in the Project window, the Up
Arrow key and the Down Arrow key still step through the tracks in the track list – but on
the selected track, the first event/part will automatically be selected as well.
If this option is activated, the Up Arrow key and the Down Arrow key are only used to
change the track selection – the current event/part selection in the Project window will not
be altered.
Duplicating Tracks
You can duplicate a track with all contents and channel settings.
PROCEDURE
Select Project> Duplicate Tracks.
RESULT
The duplicated track appears below the original track.
Disabling Tracks(Cubase Elements only)
You can disable audio, instrument, MIDI, and sampler tracks that you do not want to play back
or process at the moment. Disabling a track zeroes its output volume and shuts down all disk
activity and processing for the track.
PROCEDURE
Right-click in the track list and select Disable Track from the context menu.
RESULT
The track color changes and the corresponding channel in the MixConsole is hidden.
To enable a disabled track and restore all channel settings, right-click in the track list and select
Enable Track.
Organizing Tracks in Folder Tracks
You can organize your tracks in folders by moving tracks into folder tracks. This allows you
to perform editing on several tracks as one entity. Folder tracks can contain any type of track
including other folder tracks.
To create a folder track, open the Project menu and in the Add Track submenu select
Folder.
To move tracks into a folder, select them and drag them into the folder track.
