Track Views - DigiDesign Pro Tools 8.0 Reference Manual

In the Duplicate Tracks dialog, configure the
3
following options as needed:
• Enter how many copies you want to create
in the Number of Duplicates filed.
• To copy the currently active (visible) Edit
playlist from the source track, select Active
Playlist.
• To copy all Edit playlists on the source
track, select Alternate Playlists
• To copy all automation from the source
track, select Automation.
• To copy all plug-in and insert assignments,
select Inserts.
• To copy all sends and send assignments,
select Sends.
• To maintain all Mix and Edit Group assign-
ments, select Group Assignments.
If duplicating multiple tracks, do one of the
4
following:
• If you want all the newly created tracks to
follow the last selected source track (to the
far-right of the Mix window, and at the bot-
tom of the Edit window), select the Insert
after Last Selected Track option.
– or –
• If you want each newly-created track to be
inserted directly after its source track, dese-
lect this option.
Click OK to duplicate tracks according to the
5
settings in the Duplicate Tracks dialog. Click
Cancel to close the dialog and not create dupli-
cate tracks.
In the Mix window, each duplicate track is cre-
ated to the right of its original track. In the Edit
window, each duplicate track is created below its
original track. When duplicating multiple
tracks, you can also choose to have the new
tracks follow the last selected track (or have each
new track follow its source track).
Duplicating VCA Slave Tracks
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Duplicating a VCA slave track without duplicat-
ing its group assignments will coalesce any auto-
mation on the duplicate track. The coalesced
duplicate plays back exactly as if it were in the
VCA group. For more information, see "VCA
Master Tracks" on page 832.

Track Views

The Track View determines which data is dis-
played and edited in the track's playlist area.
Track View data can be set to Playlists, Blocks,
Analysis, Warp, Waveform, Volume, Volume
Trim, Mute, Pan, Send, or an automated control
or continuous controller, based on the track
type and your Pro Tools system.
Audio Tracks Can be set to Blocks, Playlists, Anal-
ysis, Warp, Waveform, Volume, Volume Trim, Mute,
Pan, Send controls, or any plug-in controls that
are enabled for automation. By default, audio
tracks are set to Waveform view where track ma-
terial is graphically drawn with amplitude wave-
forms (a time-domain representation of sound).
This Track View provides the necessary detail for
important region edits.
Auxiliary Input Tracks Can be set to Volume, Vol-
ume Trim, Mute, Pan, Send controls, or any plug-
in controls that are enabled for automation.
Master Fader Tracks Can be set to Volume, Vol-
ume Trim, or any plug-in controls that are en-
abled for automation.
VCA Master Tracks (Pro Tools HD Only) Can be
set to Volume, Volume Trim, or Mute.
