Track Editor
The track editor is like a microscope showing a close-up view of part of a track. You can edit Real
and Software Instrument regions in a variety of ways in the track editor.
For Real Instruments
When you select a Real Instrument track, the track editor shows the waveform of the regions in
the track. You can rename regions and transpose loop regions (but not recorded Real Instrument
regions) in the track editor.
A Name field: When a track is selected, type a new name for the track in the field. When a region is
selected in the timeline, type a new name for the region in the field.
B Zoom slider: Drag to zoom in for a closer view or to zoom out to see more of the track or
selected region. Zooming in the track editor is independent of the timeline.
C Transpose slider and field: Drag the slider to transpose the selected Real Instrument region up or
down by up to 12 semitones. You can also type the number of semitones in the field. Only Real
Instrument regions created from loops can be transposed.
D Beat ruler: Shows beats and measures for the area visible in the track editor.
E Playhead: Shows the point in the song currently playing.
F Waveform display: Shows the waveform of the regions in the track.
G Scroll bar: Drag the scroll bar to move to a different part of the track.
