94 Chapter 6 Working in the Timeline
Working with Tracks, Busses, and Outputs
The Timeline is arranged into three groups of horizontal rows: tracks, busses, and
outputs. You add audio to tracks in your project, use busses to create and control
submixes, and send audio to physical output channels using outputs. Tracks, busses,
and outputs are described in greater detail in “
Tracks, Busses, and Outputs ” on page 86.
The tracks in a project appear in the upper part of the Timeline. Busses appear below
tracks, and outputs appear below busses. A separator between each group helps
visually distinguish them, and disclosure triangles on each separator let you show or
hide the groups.
