Harrison Labs V2.0.2 manual Track and Bus Management in the Editor

13.0 Edit Window Overview

puts from a single interface is the Track/Bus Inspector. From this window you can arbitrarily route tracks and busses between Mixbus I/O's, soundcard I/O's, and other application I/O's.

The right side of the screen is a pull-out drawer which accommodates several different functions. Most panels have a right-click context menu for additional features:

•Tracks/Buses – drag&drop to reorder tracks, or click to show/hide them

•Regions - shows all of the recorded or imported regions. Drag&drop from here into the editor.

•Snapshots – Click a snapshot to recall all of the settings in the snapshot

•Edit Groups – Click the +/- buttons to create edit groups, and enable them

%Note: Normally “snapshots” are used as backup states. You store the snapshot and continue working on the main session. Future “save” operations will apply to the selected session, not the snapshots. If you prefer

that future “save” operations go into the newly-created snapshot, then you'll want to do a “Save As”.

Mixbus supports persistent undo. When you close your editing session the “undo” information is saved with the session. Upon reopening the session, you can still “undo” the edits that happened prior to your closing it. The main session file, and each of the snapshot files in the session folder, have their own persistent undo storage file.

Track and Bus Management in the Editor

On the right side of the edit screen there is an adjustable 'shelf' with tabs. The Tracks/Buses tab is used to manage tracks. You can click on the checkboxes to hide/show tracks, and you can drag/drop the tracks to change their order.

A right-click menu provides these options:

•Hide/Show all

•Hide/Show all tracks

•Hide/show all buses

•Show tracks with regions under playhead (only shows the tracks that have active audio regions right now)

Below the track/bus area, there is a list of the 8 Mixbuses, which can be shown or hidden.
