Arranging Tracks
Pro Audio provides a variety of commands that let you work with the
tracks in your project. Here are some of the things you can do:
All the commands you use to arrange tracks work on selected tracks. The
current track (the one containing the highlight) is always selected. You
can select additional tracks as shown in the table:
You can… Here’s why…
Rearrange the tracks in the Track
view so that they appear in a
different order
This makes it easier to see and work with
a subset of tracks, like the rhythm
section, or the vocals and vocal backing
tracks, or all muted tracks.
Make copies of a track Copying a track and then adding a time
offset or changing the patch is an easy
way to double a part. You can also copy
and then transpose a track to add
harmony.
Erase or delete a track Tracks and clips that you are no longer
using in your project are distracting and
takes up space in your project file.
