Editing parts and events
• You can adjust the lock options for a locked event by selecting it and selecting
“Lock…” from the Edit menu again.
This opens a dialog in which you can activate or deactivate the desired lock
options.
• To unlock an event (turn off all lock options), select it and select “Unlock” from the
Edit menu.
• It is also possible to lock a whole track, by clicking the padlock symbol in the track
list or in the Inspector.
This disables all editing of all events on the track.
Muting events
To mute events in the Project window, proceed as follows:
• You can mute events by selecting them and selecting “Mute” from the Edit menu.
Similarly, you can unmute the selected events by selecting “Unmute” from the Edit
menu.
• To mute or unmute a single event, click on it with the Mute tool.
• To mute or unmute several events, click in an empty area with the Mute tool and
drag a selection rectangle around several events.
All selected events will be muted.
• You can also change the mute status of selected events by [Shift]-clicking them.
Muted events can be edited as usual (with the exception of adjusting fades), but are
not played back.
Muted events are “grayed out”.
• You can also mute whole tracks by clicking the Mute (“M”) button in the track list,
the Inspector or the MixConsole.
Clicking the Solo (“S”) button for a track mutes all other tracks. Note that there are
two modes for the track solo function:
If the “Enable Solo on Selected Track” option is activated in the Preferences
dialog (Editing–Project
& MixConsole page) and you have soloed a track,
selecting another track in the track list will automatically solo that track instead –
the solo state “moves” with the track selection.
If the option is not activated, the track you solo stays soloed, regardless of the
selection.
Removing events
To remove an event from the Project window, use any of the following methods:
• Click on the event with the Erase tool.
Note that if you press [Alt]/[Option] while you click, all following events on the
same track will be deleted, but not the event you clicked and all events before it.
• Select the event(s) and press [Backspace], or select “Delete” from the Edit menu.
