Track View
The Track view makes it easy to select tracks, clips, and ranges of time in a project. These are the
most common selection methods:
As with most other Windows programs, you can also use the SHIFT-click and CTRL-click
combinations when selecting tracks and clips. Holding the SHIFT key while you click adds tracks or
clips to the current selection. Holding the CTRL key while you click lets you toggle the selection
status of tracks or clips.

Bus Pane
The Bus pane contains all of your project’s buses. You display the Bus pane by clicking the Show/
Hide Buses button , which is located at the bottom of the Track view.
You use the buses in the Bus pane to patch in effects, control output volume and pan, and group
tracks into subgroups.
Each hardware out is represented by a main out. Each main out contains a left channel and a right
channel, but only one volume fader. You control the left/right balance of each main out with the
balance slider.
