Isolating (clip soloing)
Isolating works by muting all the clips in a track in the same time region except the ones that you
want to hear.
To make it simpler to work with overlapping clips in the same track, enable the track’s Show Layers
option.
To isolate a region
1. Select the Mute tool in the Control Bar.
2. Set the track’s Edit Filter control to Clips.
3. Hold down the CTRL key and drag across the region you want to isolate.
To isolate a clip
1. Select the Mute tool in the Control Bar.
2. Set the track’s Edit Filter control to Clips.
3. Hold down the CTRL key and click the clip to isolate the entire clip/layer.
Track folders
A track folder contains tracks in the Track pane of the Track view. Track folders make larger projects
much easier to manage—you can group different types of tracks in their own folder: vocals, soft
synths, ReWire instruments, drums, etc.
The main characteristics of a track folder are:
• You can edit all the tracks in the folder as if you were editing a single track—especially valuable
for drum tracks. The track folder displays a composite clip in the Clips pane of all the clips in the
folder. Selecting a time range in the composite clip selects data in all the enclosed tracks in the
same time range; now you can edit all the tracks in the folder by editing the selected area of the
composite clip.
• You can hide tracks in a folder, freeing up space on your screen.
• A folder can contain any type of track—you can put MIDI, audio, and synth tracks in the same
folder.
• You can archive, mute, solo, arm, or input monitor all the tracks in a folder with one click—just
click the Archive, Mute, Solo, Arm, or Input Echo button on the track folder.
