Nevertheless, Live provides this optional visual feedback for signals that travel beyond 0 dB
in any track.
13.2 Audio and MIDI Tracks
Audio and MIDI tracks in Live are for hosting and playing clips, as explained earlier.
You can add new audio and MIDI tracks to your Live Set's mixer at any time using the
appropriate Insert menu commands.
Tracks can also be created by double-clicking or pressing
Return
on les in the Browser to
load them, or by dragging objects from the Browser into the space to the right of Session
View tracks or below Arrangement View tracks. Devices or les loaded into Live in this
manner will create tracks of the appropriate type (e.g., a MIDI track will be created if a MIDI
le or effect is dragged in).
A track is represented by its track title bar. You can click on a track title bar to select the
track and then execute an Edit menu command, such as Rename, on the track. One can
quickly rename a series of tracks by executing this command and then using the Tab key
to move from title bar to title bar. You can also enter your own info text for a track via the
Edit Info Text command in the Edit menu or in the tracks's (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context
menu.
Tracks are Represented
by Track Title Bars.
You can drag tracks by their title bars to rearrange them, or click and drag on their edges to
change their width (in the Session View) or height (in the Arrangement View).
Tracks are deleted using the Edit menu's Delete command.
