Removing tracks from a folder track

To remove a track from the folder track, expand the folder track and drag the track to another location in the track list.

Muting a folder track

To mute all tracks in a folder track, click the Mute button ( ) on the folder track’s header. To unmute the folder track, click the Mute button again.

Soloing a folder track

To solo only the tracks in a folder track, click the Solo button ( ) on the folder track’s header. To unsolo the folder track, click the Solo button again.

Editing events in a folder track

When the folder track is minimized, you can also perform edit operations on clustered events in the group. The following edit operations will affect clustered events:

Pitch-shifting events.

Dragging events.

Cutting, copying, pasting, and deleting events.

Click to select a clustered group of events, or hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking to select multiple clusters of events. Selected events are displayed in a darker color than unselected events.

Events that overlap are treated as a single event when the folder track is minimized.

Mixing multiple tracks to a single track

You can mix a selected group of tracks or an entire project to a single-track stereo event. If your project includes any muted tracks, however, those events are not mixed into the new track. The original tracks and their events are unaffected when you mix to a single track.

Typically, you would use this feature when you are finished refining a few tracks and want to combine them to conserve processing power. Also, when you mix multiple tracks to a single stereo track, any envelope or track effects that you applied are rendered into the newly mixed-down track. You can also use this feature to downmix 5.1 surround projects to stereo.

This option also allows you to destructively process any track effect plug-ins.

1.Solo the tracks you want to mix. To mix down the whole project, skip to step two.

2.From the Tools menu, choose Render to New Track or press Ctrl+M. The Render to New Track dialog appears.
