About Mix/Edit Groups and Hidden
Tracks
In the Mix window, if a hidden track is part of
an enabled group, all Mix window operations
performed on other members of the group also
affect the hidden track—with the exception of au-
dio or MIDI record-enabling. If you solo, mute,
or automation write-enable a grouped track, any
group members that are hidden are soloed,
muted, or automation write-enabled as well.
In the Edit window, however, editing operations
performed on members of an enabled group do
not affect hidden tracks that are also members of
the enabled group.
About Clipping and the Track List
(Pro Tools HD Only)
When a track, send, or plug-in clips, the Track
List displays the track’s name in red. Both
shown and hidden tracks display clipping indi-
cation.
About Track Numbering and Hidden
Tracks
In the Mix and Edit windows, Track Position
Numbers can include hidden tracks in their
numbering sequence, or ignore them, as fol-
lows:
• Numbers are only assigned to tracks that are
shown (when Track Position Numbers Stay with
Hidden Tracks
is not selected in the Display
Preferences page). In this case, active tracks
are then numbered sequentially. Hidden
tracks are un-numbered.
– or –
• Tracks keep their Track Position Numbers
even when hidden (when Track Position Num-
bers Stay With Hidden Tracks
is selected in the
Display Preferences page).
Track Name Right-Click Menu
(Mix Window, Edit Window, MIDI Editor
Windows, or Track List)
When you Right-click a track name in the Mix
window, Edit window, MIDI Editor windows, or
the Track List, a pop-up menu provides access to
the following commands:
Hide/Show Hides (or shows) the track (or se-
lected tracks if any).
Hide and Make Inactive Hides the track and
makes it inactive (or selected tracks if any).
Make Active/Inactive Toggles the active status
of the track (or all selected tracks in the Mix or
Edit window only).
Scroll Into View Scrolls the track to the top of the
Edit window or to the left of the Mix window.
