edited on a track-by-track basis, or multiple Tracks may be selected and their fields edited
simultaneously.
12.2.6 Pause
It is common for the tracks on audio CDs to be separated by a brief pause. By default, any
Track added to the Project will have a Pause setting of two seconds, as per the Red Book
standard. In practice, this means that two seconds of silence will be appended to the
beginning of the Track, so that although the Track begins immediately after the end of the
previous Track, there will be a brief pause in playback in between.
The Pause setting can be set to any amount of time up to 10 seconds, as per the Red Book
Audio CD standard. The timing between Tracks is an important creative part of the mastering
process and often differs between Projects. To change the Pause setting, click in the Pause
field for a Track in the Track Column and type in a value or click-and-drag the audio events in
the Timeline.

Track Sequencing

To sequence the Tracks in your Projects, simply click on the file-type icon for any Track and
drag the Track above or below the other Tracks in the Track column.
Notice that the Tracks are automatically relocated in the Timeline of the Track Lane, with all
other Track sequencing still intact, including Track pauses. Most standalone mastering
applications don't offer this feature.
12.3.1 Track Lane and Timeline
The Track Lane is where your Tracks are represented as Audio Events. You will notice that the
Tracks are staggered in the Track Lane, alternating between an upper and lower position
across the Timeline. This allows two adjacent Tracks to overlap. By default, the Tracks will be
separated by an amount of time dependent on the Pause setting for each Track.
