Selecting Tracks, Busses, and Outputs

You can select a track, bus, or output in order to move, copy, or remove it, and can also
select tracks, busses, and outputs to export. The headers of selected tracks, busses, and
outputs appear darker in the Timeline.

To select a track, bus, or output, do one of the following:

m

Click the drag handle along the left edge of the header for the track, bus, or output.

m

Click anywhere in the row for the track, bus, or output.

You can select multiple tracks, busses, or outputs.

To select adjacent tracks, busses, or outputs:

m

Shift-click the drag handle in the header of each track, bus, or output you want to select.

To select nonadjacent tracks, busses, or outputs:

m

Command-click the drag handle in the header of each track, bus, or output you want
to select.

Moving and Copying Tracks, Busses, and Outputs

As you work on your project, you may want to rearrange tracks, busses, and outputs.
You can move and copy them to change their vertical arrangement in the track, bus,
or output section of the Timeline. You cannot move one to the area for another
(as indicated by the rows labeled “Tracks,” “Busses,” and “Outputs”).

You can only move or copy one track, bus, or output at a time.

To move a track, bus, or output:

m

Drag the track, bus, or output drag handle up or down to a new vertical position.

A light blue horizontal line in the header area indicates the place the track, bus, or
output will be moved to when you release the mouse button.

To copy a track, bus, or output:

m

Option-click the drag handle in the header for the track, bus, or output, then drag it
up or down.

A copy of the track, bus, or output appears when you release the mouse button.
