Track Controls and Indicators
Input/Output Selectors
The I/O View shows Input and Output selectors
on audio, Auxiliary Input, Master Fader (output
only), MIDI, and Instrument tracks.
To show the I/O View in the Edit window:
■ Select View > Edit Window > I/O.
Volume/Peak/Channel Delay
Indicator
The Volume indicator on an audio track has
three display modes: Volume, Peak, and Chan-
nel Delay.
To toggle the Volume indicator display:
■ Control-click (Windows) or Command-click
(Mac) the indicator to toggle it between the fol-
lowing modes:
Volume Indicator (and Pop-Up Fader) Shows the
current volume, or input level of a track as set by
the track Volume fader. In I/O View (Edit win-
dow), click the Volume indicator to display the
Volume pop-up fader, which can be used to ad-
just the volume.
Peak Indicator Functions as a headroom indica-
tor based on the last peak playback level. To re-
set the peak counter, click anywhere in the
meter. Values range from –∞ (no signal) to 0 dB.
Channel Delay Indicator Shows the total delay, in
samples, incurred on the track from the use of
any TDM plug-ins on that channel.
Pan Indicator
The Pan indicator displays the current pan set-
ting of a track. Pan values range from <100 (full
left) to 100> (full right). Pan controls are only
available for stereo tracks or for mono tracks
routed to a stereo output.
In I/O View (Edit window), click the Pan indica-
tor to display the Pan pop-up slider, which can
be used to adjust panning.
Edit window I/O View (audio track)
For information on other track views, see
“Views in the Mix and Edit Windows” on
page 634.
Channel strips in the Mix window always
display Input and Output selectors as well
as volume and pan values, so there is no I/O
View display option for the Mix window.
For details on Input and Output selectors,
see “Assigning Inputs and Outputs to
Tracks” on page 133.
