Introduction
The Inspector pane appears to the left of the Track view, but can also be moved to the right side.
There are three separate inspectors:
• Track Inspector. The Track Inspector shows mix settings for the current track, bus, or main,
and is essentially identical to a channel strip in the Console view. Advanced MIDI settings are also
available for MIDI tracks and Instrument tracks. For details, see “Track Inspector overview” on
page 529.
• Properties Inspector. The Properties Inspector shows properties for the selected clip(s) or
track(s). For details, see “Properties Inspector overview” on page 544. The Properties Inspector
has two modes:
• Clip. The Clip Properties Inspector displays settings for the currently selected clip(s). For
details, see “Properties Inspector - Clip Properties” on page 546.
• Track. The Track Properties Inspector lets you type a track name, specify an audio track’s
AudioSnap render modes, specify the default clip colors, and enter a text description. For
details, see “Properties Inspector - Track Properties” on page 553.
• ProChannel (Producer only). ProChannel combines compression, equalization, and tube
saturation modeling in one convenient processor. ProChannel is available on each audio track,
Instrument track and bus. For details, see “ProChannel (Producer only)” on page 963.
