Hide or unhide a track using key commands
1 Select the track.
2 Press H.
To unhide the hidden track, press H again.
The following menu functions and key commands also affect the Hide Tracks feature:
•
Even when the toolbar Hide button is deactivated, you can still hide an individual track with
the Track > Hide Track and Select Next Track command (or press Control-H).
•
The Track > Unhide All Tracks command (or the corresponding key command) will reset the
Hide buttons of each track, making them all visible.
Note: Hiding tracks doesn’t affect playback. You can also link the Hide functions of all tracks
belonging to a group by selecting Hide in the Group Property Settings. (For more information
on groups, see
Grouping overview .) Keep in mind that there is no Unhide Selected Track key
command because there is no way that you can select a hidden track.
Delete tracks
You can delete a track to remove it from the project. When you delete a track, all regions on the
track are deleted.
Delete a track
m Control-click the track header, then choose Delete Track from the shortcut menu.
Edit multiple tracks using slide activation
You can make edits to multiple tracks in the Tracks area simultaneously by dragging the pointer
vertically over track header buttons (such as Solo, Mute, Hide, Protect, and Freeze) on multiple
tracks. Slide activation is similar to running your finger across several channel strip buttons on
good hardware mixing consoles.
To try out slide activation in Logic Pro, click-hold the Mute button of one track, then drag the
pointer up or down. The Mute buttons of all swiped tracks switch to the same state.
Simply drag over the Mute buttons of the same tracks to undo the mute.
Edit track header controls on multiple tracks
m Click-hold a track header button on one track header, then drag the pointer up or down over
additional tracks.
The corresponding buttons on all the swiped tracks switch to the same state.
