Renaming Tracks, Busses, and Outputs
By default, tracks are numbered when created, and take the name of the first audio clip
you add to them. Busses and outputs are numbered starting from one (Bus 1, Out 1,
and so on). You can rename a track, bus, or output and use the names to distinguish
the type of audio it contains (for example, dialogue, voiceovers, music, or sound
effects), its part in the overall project, or to identify it in some other way.
To rename a track, bus, or output:
m Click the name field in the header for the track, bus, or output and type a new name.
Changing a Track, Bus, or Output Icon
You can choose a new icon from the icon grid, or add your own image to the grid.
To change the icon for a track, bus, or output, do one of the following:
m Click the icon, then select a new icon from the icon grid that appears.
m Drag a graphics file from the Finder to the icon.
Using the Track Controls
Tracks, busses, and outputs have headers, located along the left side of the Timeline. Each
header contains track controls that you can use to mute or solo the track, bus, or output,
adjust its volume level and pan position, add effects, and show or hide its envelopes.
Adjusting Volume
The volume slider controls the volume (the loudness relative to other tracks) of the
track, bus, or output.
To adjust the volume level of a track, bus, or output:
m Drag the volume slider left or right.
The range is –96 dB to +6 dB, with the default at 0 dB. Double-clicking the slider resets
it to the 0 dB position.
Drag the volume
slider left or right.
