Edit Menu – Multitrack View
Take History (Wave Block Only)
If a single wave block is highlighted, this command will appear on the Multitrack View’s Edit menu. The Take History
function is available for any track that has the Allow Multiple Takes command enabled. With multiple takes, material is
not overwritten when recording into an existing waveform block, instead a new instance, or “take”, of the block is created
and recorded into, preserving the previous waveform. Take History is simply a list of each of these instances, allowing
you to move between them, delete them, and in the case of a Punch In, merge them back into the surrounding material
they once belonged to.
Take List This is a list of takes available as alternates for the selected waveform block.
Merge This Take Choose this command to merge a take completed with Punch In back into the surrounding material.
Delete This Take This removes the selected take, deleting it from your hard drive.
Note: Each take exists as an actual waveform on your hard disk, and will take up drive space until deleted. Punch In takes are
automatically deleted when Merge Current Take is selected.
Adjust Wave Volume (Wave Block Only)
If a single wave block is highlighted, this command will appear on the Multitrack View’s Edit menu. Click it to display a
vertical slider used to adjust the wave block’s volume, which is measured in dB.
Dragging the slider up (or clicking on the arrow at the top of the slider) increases the wave block’s volume, while moving
it downward (or clicking on the arrow underneath the slider) reduces the volume accordingly.
You may also specify the wave block’s volume by directly entering the desired dB value in the text box above the Volume
Slider.
Adjust Wave Pan (Wave Block Only)
If a single wave block is highlighted, this command will appear on the Multitrack View’s Edit menu. Click it to display a
horizontal slider used to adjust the wave block’s left/right volume balance.
Moving the slider to the left (or clicking on the arrow at the left of the slider) reduces the volume of the right channel,
while dragging it to the right (or clicking on the arrow to the right of the slider) decreases the left channel’s volume.
You can also set the wave block’s panning parameter by directly entering the desired percentage in the text box to the
right of the Panning Slider. Negative numbers (such as -100) denote a left pan, while positive numbers (such as 100)
mean a right pan.
