An audio track header section

</figcaption>

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each track shows a <dfn>header section</dfn>, for settings relevant to
|
|
this track only.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Changing the height of the track can be done either:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
By using the <kbd class="menu">Track > Height</kbd> menu. The
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Fit selection (Vertical)</kbd> (default: <kbd>F</kbd>)
|
|
is particularly useful.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
By double-clicking an empty space in the track header, to toggle the
|
|
track's height between the <em>Normal</em> and <em>Largest</em> track
|
|
heights from this menu.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Or by grabbing the bottom of the track header with a <kbd class="mouse">
|
|
left</kbd> click and drag.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
At the top-left of the controls is the name of the track, which can be
|
|
edited by double-clicking on it. The new name must be unique within the
|
|
session.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Underneath the name is the track's main level fader. Changing it will affect
|
|
the whole track :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><kbd class="mouse">dragging</kbd> will change the fader's value as
|
|
per the mouse's position</li>
|
|
<li><kbd class="mod1 mouse">clicking</kbd> will set the fader to −∞
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><kbd class="mod3 mouse">clicking</kbd> will reset the fader to its original
|
|
0dB position.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
On the right-hand side of the headers are level meters for the outputs of the track
|
|
(1 level per output).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
