UNCTION
The swap function makes it possible to change the source audio channel to be
played on a given output audio channel, for example to play the source channel a4
onto the output channel a6.
The mute function makes it possible to mute the content of an audio channel or
track.
The swap and mute functions can be defined:
• on one or several elements of an audio track
• from the nowline position up to the end of the element where it is placed
• on a part of a track, from a mark IN point to a mark OUT point placed on the
track.
Note
No swap or mute can be added or modified on timeline elements whose
speed is different than 100%. However, swaps or mutes can be deleted
on such elements.
