FREEZE TRACK
If your computer is slow or you’re hearing gapping or stuttering as a result of many
effects or time stretching, tracks can be frozen to reduce the necessary amount of
processing. After freezing a track, a temporary WAV file, containing the track’s effects
and audio, is used for playback. Effects or sounds will not be editable until the track
is “unfrozen.” (Dragging a new sound onto a track will unfreeze it.)
To freeze, right-click on a track you’d like to freeze and choose Freeze Track
(key shortcut Ctrl+F), or choose Track>Freeze Track in the top drop-down menu.
CUSTOMIZING TRACK APPEARANCE
Change the color, icon, name or size of tracks.
NAME
The default name for newly created tracks will be “Track,” for audio tracks, or
“Instrument Track,” for MIDI tracks. Tracks can be renamed by left-clicking the current
name and typing. Hit the Enter key or click on another area of the window to finish.
IMAGE
Each track can have its own image for distinction, personalization, and organization.
Choose from twenty stock images or import your own!
To change the track image, double-click an existing track image or hover over the
track image and click the pop-up button. You can also select Track>Properties>Choose
