Locate the drop-down list for Output and click the small arrow to show all available outputs. Select
the output that your speakers or headphones are connected to. If you can’t find the Output drop-
down list, make sure you have expanded the track fully by dragging it down.
Next, you will want to repeat the above process for all of the tracks in your project.
See:
“Playing the project” on page 108

This is the Freeze button. It is used to temporarily convert a synth or instrument track into an
