The
Track headers
are directly connected with the
Track overviews
and scale and scroll along with the
associated overview track. The
Track headers
reflect the selection state of the associated mixer strip and
the tracks have the same order as the mixer strips. You can select tracks by clicking the background of the
track header, and you can reorder the tracks by dragging the track headers up and down.
The
Track overviews
show the audio segments in the track; the segments are drawn based on the track
color, and also show the in and out fades, as well as the mute status of the segment. The waveform
overviews reflect the applied fades and the segment gain.
Figure 12.12: Session Track Overviews (track lanes exposed)
You can control (via menu command) the non-linear scaling of the waveform overviews; this feature allows
you to enhance low-level features of the waveform or emphasis transients in the waveform while still keep-
ing the entirety of the dynamic range of the waveform in view.
You can choose whether or not to show the segment names in the track overviews.
A unique feature of the Session playback engine is that you can have an arbitrary number of segments that
are overlapped at any given moment in the track. This multiple overlap feature coupled with the integrated
fades is very powerful and musical, but it can make targeting the correct segment difficult - so we added
a feature to make it
much
easier. You can toggle multiple lanes per track view (using the “L” key, or from
the Session menu), and the Track overviews will automatically spread the segments on to lanes within the
track keeping all the segments from directly overlapping.
In addition to being able to scroll around the track overviews with the trackpad/scrollwheel, the track
overviews support the following gestures:
• <option> scroll to zoom in and out vertically
• <option><command> scroll to zoom in and out horizontally around the playhead
• <option><command><control> scroll to zoom in and out horizontally around the mouse pointer
• trackpad pinch-to-zoom to zoom in and out horizontally around the playhead
• <shift>-click to re-cue the Playhead
• <shift>-double-click to re-cue the Playhead and start playback
And the following key/menu commands
• <shift>Z - zoom to fit the current selection
• <option><command>Z - zoom horizontally to fit current loop
• <command>Down Arrow - Increase Track Height
• <command>Up Arrow - Decrease Track Height
• <option>X - Fit Tracks Vertically
• <command>Right Arrow - Zoom In Horizontally
• <command>Left Arrow - Zoom Out Horizontally
• <option>X - Fit Session Horizontally
