The Inspector
The area to the left of the track list is called the Inspector. This shows additional
controls and parameters for the track you have selected in the track list. If several
tracks are selected, the Inspector shows the setting for the first (topmost) selected
track.
Opening the Inspector
To show the Inspector, proceed as follows:
1. On the toolbar, click the “Set up Window Layout” button.
2. Activate the Inspector option.
Inspector handling
For most track classes, the Inspector is divided into a number of sections, each
containing different controls for the track. Which sections are available in the
Inspector depends on the selected track.
• You can hide or show sections by clicking on their names.
Clicking the name for a hidden section brings it into view and hides the other
sections. [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking the section name allows you to hide or show a
section without affecting the other sections. [Alt]/[Option]-clicking a section name
shows or hides all sections in the Inspector.
• You can also use key commands to show different Inspector sections.
These are set up in the Key Commands dialog, see “Setting up key commands” on
page 712.
Ö Hiding a section does not affect its functionality. For example, if you have set up a
track parameter or activated an effect, your settings will still be active even if you hide
the respective Inspector section.
