Editing individual tracks

Post by shinnen » Fri Jan 18, 2008 5:27 pm

Hi,
Sometimes the left track has noise (clicks) that don't show up in the right track, or vise-versa. Can the tracks be edited individually?

Yes. You can split the tracks by clicking on the name of the track and select "Split Stereo Track". (the default name is "Audio Track")

You can join them together again by selecting both tracks and from the "Project" menu select "Quick Mix". (in v.1.3.4 you do the same thing but select "Mix and Render" from the "Tracks" menu).

To select both tracks, "Shift + Click" on the track panels, or "Ctrl + A" to select All.

Note that the tracks will be mixed automatically when you Export the audio.
