Edit ID3 Tags… -
Opens a dialog allowing you to edit the ID3 tags associated
with a project, for MP3 exporting.
Quick Mix –
This command mixes all of the selected tracks together. If you
are mixing stereo tracks, or mixing tracks that are marked as Left or Right
channel, the result will be a stereo track (two channels), otherwise the result
will be mono. Your tracks are implicitly mixed whenever you hit the Play
button and whenever you export. This command offers a way to do it
permanently and save the results to disk, saving on playback resources. Note
that if you try to mix two very loud tracks together, you may get clipping (it will
sound like pops, clicks , and noise ). To avoid this, drag the gain slider on the
tracks down to reduce their volume before mixing.
New Audio Track – This creates a new empty Audio Track. This command is
rarely needed, since importing, recording, and mixing automatically create
new tracks as needed. But you can use this to cut or copy data from an
existing track and paste it into a blank track.
If that track was at a non-default
rate then you may need to use Set Rate from the Track Pop-Down menu to
set the correct sample rate.
New Stereo Track –
same as above, but creates a stereo track. You can also
create a stereo track by joining two tracks using the track pop-down menu.
New Label Track – This creates a new Label Track, which can be very useful
for textual annotation.
New Time Track – This creates a new Time Track, which is used to vary the
speed of playback over time.
Remove Tracks –
This command removes the selected track or tracks from
the project. Even if only part of a track is selected, the entire track is removed.
You can also delete a track by clicking the X in its upper-left corner. To cut out
only part of the audio in a track, use Delete or Silence.
Align Tracks… - All the Align functions work on whole tracks or groups of
tracks, not on selections, even if they span across multiple tracks. They all
operate by time-shifting tracks (moving them left or right), making it easier to
synchronize tracks or get rid of silence at the beginning. The cursor or
selection stays in the same place unless you use “Align and move cursor…”
below.
