Instrument Tracks
Instrument tracks have many controls in com-
mon with audio tracks, and also have an addi-
tional Instruments View, which provides con-
trols for MIDI input, output, mute, volume, and
pan. Figure 6 shows the controls found in In-
strument tracks.
Region List
A region is a piece of audio or MIDI data that can
also have associated automation data. For exam-
ple, a region could be a loop, a guitar riff, a verse
of a song, a sound effect, a piece of dialog, or an
entire sound file.
In Pro Tools, regions are created from audio or
MIDI files, and can be arranged in audio, MIDI,
and Instrument track playlists.
All regions that are recorded, imported, or cre-
ated by editing appear in the Region List. Re-
gions can be dragged from the list to tracks and
arranged in any order. Audio regions can also be
auditioned from the Region List by Alt-clicking
(Windows) or Option-clicking (Macintosh) the
audio region name. The Region List pop-up
menu provides features for managing regions
and files (such as sorting, selecting, importing,
or exporting files).
