Track Name. Assign a name to the selected track.
list-image
Online Render. Specify the algorithm to use during real-time playback. For more information about render modes, see Algorithms and rendering. The options are as follows:
list-image
From Global. This uses the algorithm listed in the Online field in Edit > Preferences > Project - AudioSnap.
list-image
Groove clip. Works faster than Percussion render mode, using less processing power.
list-image
Percussion. Works better than the Groove Clip render mode on percussive material, especially if the stretching is by more than a few beats per minute.
Note: The Online render mode is for preview purposes only during playback. The final audio quality will be greatly improved after the Offline render mode is applied during mixdown/export.
list-image
Offline Render. This drop-down menu lets you choose the algorithm that is used when you export or freeze stretched audio. The choices in the drop-down menu are as follows:
list-image
From Global. This uses the algorithm listed in the Offline Rendering field in Edit > Preferences > Project - AudioSnap.
list-image
Radius Mix. Better for clips containing polyphonic, stereo data.
list-image
Radius Mix Advanced. Similar to Radius Mix, but exposes a Smoothing slider that adjust how much detail to preserve.
list-image
Radius Solo. Better for clips containing monophonic, solo instruments.
list-image
Radius Solo (Bass). Better for clips containing solo bass instruments.
list-image
Radius Solo (Vocal). Better for clips containing solo vocals.
list-image
Same as Online. Uses the same choice as the Online field.
list-image
Time Base. Choose one of the two options in this section to control what happens to automation when you change the tempo:
list-image
Musical (M:B:T). If the track is set to the Musical time base, the automation’s M:B:T position stays constant, and its absolute position shifts.
list-image
Absolute. If the track is set to the Absolute time base, its absolute position stays constant, and its M:B:T position shifts.
list-image
Write Mode. This drop-down menu lets you choose the automation write mode:
list-image
Touch. Touch mode overwrites any existing automation data for the currently armed parameter only when the parameter is moved with the mouse or a MIDI controller. Automation writing stops when the parameter is released, and the parameter returns to any previously automated position.
list-image
Overwrite. Overwrite mode overwrites any existing automation data for the currently armed parameter while the transport is rolling, even if you don’t touch the parameter.
list-image
Latch. Latch Mode is similar to Touch mode; new automation data overwrites existing automation data when you move a control. However, when you release the parameter, it will remain “latched” into its current position and continue to overwrite any existing automation data until playback stops.
list-image
Strip Color. Specify the default channel strip color and the default waveform or note color of the selected track. The color palette has two additional options, which can be accessed by holding down the Follow Bus/Default button for a brief moment:
list-image
Default. The track strip is not colored and does not inherit the color of the bus it is assigned to.
list-image
Follow Bus. The track inherits the color of the bus it is assigned to.
list-image
Description. Type a comment or description of the selected track.
