Name While Creating a Track
When you create a track (by double-clicking below the bottom track in the Track List)
you can hold down Command at the same time to open the input box for the track
name.
Deleting Track Names
To delete a track name, select Track > Delete Track Name.
You can also double-click on the track name while holding down Command. This opens
the text input field for the track name. The name can be deleted using Backspace. The
instrument name will then appear in the Track List again.
Muting Tracks
Both MIDI and audio tracks have Mute buttons to the left side of the Track List,
between the track number and the icon. Muting a track stops it from playing. To show
or hide the blue Mute buttons, select View > Track Mute Buttons.
Muting When the Mute Buttons Are Hidden
If the Mute buttons are hidden—to save space—you can still mute a track to the left of
the track number.
If you move the mouse to the left edge of the Track List by the track number, the
mouse pointer turns into a hand; clicking the mouse shortly now mutes the track (or if
the track is already muted, it cancels the mute). Muted tracks are then indicated by a •.
You can also use the Mute Track key command to mute a track.
Muting All Tracks
If you hold Command while clicking on a Mute button in the Track List, all tracks in the
currently-selected display level (or folder) are muted. If they were already muted, they
will be unmuted.
Mute Instrument
If you mute a track while holding down Command-Option, all tracks in the current
song with the same track instrument (including those in all folders) are muted.
