Locate the drop-down list for Output and click the small arrow to show all available outputs. Select
the output that your speakers or headphones are connected to. If you can’t find the Output drop-
down list, make sure you have expanded the track fully by dragging it down.
Next, you will want to repeat the above process for all of the tracks in your project.
This is the Read Automation button. It is used to enable/disable automation playback.
This is the Write Automation button. When enabled, changes to adjustable track
parameters during playback are recorded. For more details, see Tutorial 7 – Mixing and
adding effects.
This is the Freeze button. It is used to temporarily convert a synth or instrument track into an
audio track to conserve CPU power.
Note: Your options will be different from the preceding image. Select the output that
corresponds to your sound card or audio device.
Tip: If you need to change multiple outputs simultaneously, select the tracks, then hold down the
CTRL key while you change the Output setting in any selected track. You can also click a track’s
Output control and choose
Selected Track Outputs , which opens a dialog box that allows you to
change the Audio and MIDI outputs of all selected tracks.
