Track Folders
A track folder contains tracks in the Track pane of the Track view. The main
characteristics of a track folder are:
• You can edit all the tracks in the folder as if you were editing a single track—
the track folder displays a composite clip in the Clips pane. Selecting a time
range in the composite clip selects data in all the enclosed tracks in the same
time range; now you can edit the selected area of the composite clip.
• You can hide tracks in a folder, freeing up space on your screen.
• A folder can contain any type of track—you can put MIDI, audio, and synth
tracks in the same folder.
• You can archive, mute, solo, arm, or input monitor all the tracks in a folder
with one click—just click the A, M, S, R, or Input Echo button on the track
folder.
