Tracks Deactivating A track can be deactivated from the track context menu which is accessed by clicking on the empty space in the &TRACK_CONTROLS; and choosing the Active menu item. A track can also be made inactive from the track name button in a &MIXER_STRIP;. The &TRACK_CONTROLS; and &MIXER_STRIP; of inactive tracks have a different background color to differentiate them from active tracks. Deactivating a track will silence it and reduce the amount of system resources required to operate the session. An inactive Audio Track will not read audio data from disk, unlike when a track is muted.
