Applying colors in the Project window
Coloring tracks, parts, or events manually
You can color each track, part, or event in the Project window individually by using the
Select Colors pop-up menu on the toolbar.
About the Select Colors pop-up menu
1. In the Project window, select the item that you want to color.
You can select tracks, parts, or events.
2. On the toolbar, open the “Select Colors” pop-up menu and select a color.
If parts or events are selected, the color is applied to these parts and events. To
change the color of a track, no events or parts must be selected on that track.
Ö When you change the color of a track, the new color will be used for all events on the
track and for the corresponding channel in the MixConsole. However, if you have
assigned a different color to individual parts or events, these will not follow color
changes of the track any longer.
• To reset the color of a track, part, or event, select the corresponding item and
choose the “Default Color” option from the “Select Colors” pop-up menu.
About the Similar Tracks options
You can use the selected color of one track to colorize other tracks of the same type
(e.
g. all audio tracks).
Set up the desired color for a track of a certain track type and right-click this track in
the track list to open a context menu. Depending on your settings and selections you
can choose one of the following options:
• Use Color for Similar Tracks
When you select this, all tracks of the same type get the same color.
• Use Color for Similar Selected Tracks
Use this to apply the same color to tracks within a selection. The color of the
topmost track in the selection is then applied to other tracks of the same type
within the selection.
