record the same tracks (name them for your band members or instruments) or are creating a new project for each song in a live session. If you work on a variety of projects, however, you’ll probably have different track names for every project, so you might as well retain the old, boring defaults and enter new names as you work.

Lists Panel

The List panel is opened and closed by clicking on the List View arrow at the right end of the Time/Marker bar, by selecting one of the three lists from the pull-down Windows menu, or by using the keyboard shortcuts:

Regions List = Ctrl-4

Cues List = Ctrl-5

History List = Ctrl-6

Whenever the list panel is open, clicking on one of the three tabs at the top of the panel selects which list is displayed.

Region List

The Region List contains a listing of the region names that have been created by the following operations:

Recording into tracks

Capturing regions on existing track regions

Importing regions into the current project

Rendering tracks

Cue List

The Cue List is a list of all cues set in the Project. The three columns of the list are the Number, Name, and Time. Clicking on the NEW button at the top of the list creates a new cue at the current transport time. Double clicking on a cue number jumps the transport current time to the time of that Cue.

Cues are numbered sequentially as they’re entered, and have the default name “Cue”. Cues can be renamed within this list by double clicking on the name field and entering new text. The time (location) of the cue can be edited by clicking on the time field, highlighting the digits you wish to change, and either dragging the number with the mouse pointer or directly entering a new number from the keyboard. Pressing the Enter key or clicking outside the field completes the entry.

Cue names and times are interactive with the Cue pointers on the Marker Bar. When a cue name is edited in the Cue List, its name changes on the Marker Bar. When the Cue time is edited in the Cue List, the pointer on the Marker Bar moves to the new location.

When a Cue pointer is dragged to a new location on the Marker Bar, its time changes in the Cue List.

Cues appear on the list in order by time. As you drag a cue pointer along the Marker Bar, you’ll see its time change in the Cue List, and the entry will move up or down the list if its new time places it past or before another cue.

Clicking on the DELETE button removes the highlighted cue from the list. This leaves a hole in the cue number sequence, but the Cue List doesn’t care. Use Shift-click or Ctrl- click to highlight a group of cues to be deleted.
