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.

“Main outs” on page 845

Track/Bus Inspector
The Track/Bus Inspector makes it easy to adjust the current track’s (or bus’s) controls, because it’s a
greatly expanded version of the current track’s controls that is located on the left side of the Track
pane.
For more information about the Inspector, see “Inspectors” on page 523.
The Navigator pane
The Navigator pane, located just above the Track pane, displays the whole length of your project so
you can always see an overview of your song, and where the Now time is. The Navigator pane
displays all of your project’s tracks. To show or hide the Navigator pane, click the Track view View
menu and choose Navigator Show/Hide or press ALT+N. You can drag the splitter bar between the
Navigator pane and the Track pane to change its height.
