Get started with Track Stacks
Track Stacks provide a convenient way to organize and control multiple tracks, to manage
projects with high track counts, and to create audio subgroups. There are two types of Track
Stacks:
•
Folder stacks let you combine multiple tracks and control them as a unit, without changing
their individual routing.
•
Summing stacks let you combine multiple tracks and route their output to an audio subgroup.
Both types have a main track and one or more subtracks. The track header for the main track
features a disclosure triangle that lets you show or hide the subtracks. When you close the stack,
only the main track appears in the Tracks area.
In the demo project, the Backing Vocals, Synthesizers, and Song FX tracks are folder stacks, and
the Outro Vocal Stack is a summing stack.
