Adjusting Track Width

Mix Window
The Narrow Mix command lets you view all
tracks/channels in the Mix window at a reduced
width to conserve screen space in a large session.
(See "Track Height" on page 258, to adjust track
height in the Edit Window.)
To reduce the width of tracks in the Mix window:
Select View > Narrow Mix.
■
To display tracks at normal width:
Deselect View > Narrow Mix.
■
You can toggle track width by pressing Con-
trol+Alt+M (Windows) or Command+Op-
tion+M (Mac).

Creating Tracks

On all systems, you can create mono and stereo
tracks. In addition, with Pro Tools HD, you can
create multichannel tracks.
When new tracks are created, they are given a
default name which can be changed at any time.
To insert new tracks next to a specific track in
◆
a session, select that track by clicking the track's
name in the Mix or Edit window before opening
the New Tracks dialog. The new tracks are added
immediately after the selected track.
To insert new tracks after the last tracks in a
◆
session, make sure that no track names are se-
lected on-screen before opening the New Tracks
dialog.
You can also add tracks to your session by
importing them from preexisting sessions.
See "Importing Tracks and Track At-
tributes" on page 144.
