Pro Tools Reference Guide 506
Names for the new tracks are based on the
source track name and channel suffix. For exam-
ple, if a stereo track called “Funkit” is split, two
new tracks called “Funkit.L” and “Funkit.R” are
created.
Output and send assignments and volume and
pan settings are retained in the new tracks.
Mono equivalents of stereo and multi-mono
plug-in assignments are assigned in the new
tracks. However, multichannel plug-in assign-
ments are not assigned in the new tracks.
Dragging Regions to and from Stereo
and Multichannel Tracks
When dragging regions to or from stereo or
multichannel tracks, the following rules apply:
‹
Provided the number of tracks and channels
are the same for the source and destination, you
can drag regions between multichannel tracks
and mono tracks.
‹
The source and destination for dragged re-
gions can be mixed. For example, you can drag
regions from a 5.0 track (containing five chan-
nels) to a stereo track and three mono audio
tracks.
‹
When dragging multichannel regions to
mono tracks, the destination tracks must be
adjacent.
‹
When dragging regions from mono tracks to a
multichannel track, the source tracks need not
be adjacent.
Multichannel regions can also be dragged from
the Region List, to multichannel tracks of the
same format, groups of mono audio tracks, or a
combination of both.
Conversely, a collection of single, mono regions
can be dragged from the Region List to multi-
channel tracks—provided the dragged number
of regions matches the number of channels in
the destination track.
Consolidate Command
During the course of normal edit operations,
any track can accumulate many regions. How-
ever, once a track or track range (such as a verse
or chorus) reaches a satisfactory state, you may
want to consolidate multiple regions into a sin-
gle region.
When consolidating an entire audio track or just
an Edit selection, a new audio file is written that
consists of the entire selection, including any
blank space.
When consolidating, muted regions are treated
as silence. Otherwise, whether or not a track is
muted, or contains Mute automation, does not
affect the
Consolidate command.
Dragging a stereo region to two mono audio tracks
Consolidating an audio track does not
consolidate underlying automation data.
To create a single file with automation data
applied to the audio, use Bounce to Disk
(see “Bounce to Disk” on page 962).
