13.2. AUDIO AND MIDI TRACKS 172

1. The Meter shows the track's RMS (average) and peak output level. While moni-

toring, however, it shows the input level.

2. The Volume control adjusts the track's output level.

3. The Pan control positions the track's output in the stereo eld. To reset the pan

control to center, click on the little triangle.

4. To mute the track's output, turn off the Track Activator switch.

5. The Solo switch solos the track by muting all other tracks, but can also be used

for cueing. Tracks can only be soloed one at a time unless the Exclusive Solo

option in the Misc Preferences is deactivated. Alternatively, you can hold down

the

Ctrl

(PC) / (Mac) modier to solo more than one track.

6. If the Arm Recording button is on, the track is record-enabled. Tracks can only

be armed one at a time unless the Exclusive Arm option in the Misc Preferences

is deactivated. Alternatively, you can hold down the

Ctrl

(PC) / (Mac)

modier to arm more than one track.

13.2 Audio and MIDI Tracks

Audio and MIDI tracks in Live are for hosting and playing clips, as explained earlier.

You can add new audio and MIDI tracks to your Live Set's mixer at any time using the

appropriate Insert menu commands.

Tracks can also be created by double-clicking or pressing

Return

on les in the Browser to

load them, or by dragging objects from the Browser into the space to the right of Session

View tracks or below Arrangement View tracks. Devices or les loaded into Live in this

manner will create tracks of the appropriate type (e.g., a MIDI track will be created if a MIDI

le or effect is dragged in).
