Configuring the Console and Track Views

The Console and Track view can be reconfigured in a variety of ways. You can:
• Choose the tracks that you want to see
• Adjust the display of audio meters and clip indicators
• Change the number of buses
• Set control snap-to positions
• Insert new tracks
• Name tracks and buses
Meters are helpful in determining the relative volumes of your audio tracks and in detecting and
preventing overload. By default, the Console view displays output level meters in main out modules at
all times, and displays record level meters in individual tracks whenever they are armed and have an
audio input. The display of meters, however, can place a considerable load on your computer. Showing
only the peak indicators, or hiding the meters entirely, can reduce the load on your computer. This may
increase the number of audio tracks and real-time effects you can play back at one time.
In the Track view there are several ways to configure which tracks are displayed.
