Chapter 8 Basic Mixing in Soundtrack Pro 283
At the top of each set of level meters is a peak indicator. As the project plays, the value
in decibels of the highest level reached appears in the peak indicator. If the level rises
above 0 dB, the peak indicator becomes red. The values shown in each peak indicator
remain until you play the project again, close the project, or reset the peak indicator.
To reset a peak indicator:
m Click the peak indicator.
To reset all peak indicators, do one of the following:
m Option-click the peak indicator in any channel.
m Click the Reset button in the Meters tab.
The peak indicators can help identify where clipping occurs in the project. For
information about removing clipping, see “Setting the Overall Project Volume Level” on
page 288.
Removing Channel Strips
You can remove a channel strip from the Mixer if you decide you no longer want it in
the project.
To remove a channel strip, do one of the following:
m Select the channel strip, then choose Multitrack > Remove [item].
m Control-click the channel strip, then choose Remove [item] from the shortcut menu.
The term indicated by [item] changes in the menu depending on whether a track, bus,
or output is selected.
Note: If audio from a track is sent to a bus or output, and you remove the bus or
output, the audio from the track will not be heard when you play the project.
