Track Operations¶

Track Selection¶

Tracks are selected by clicking on them, either in the tracklist or in the mixer. Multiple tracks can be selected by pressing and holding Control while clicking them.

Moving/Copying Tracks¶

Tracks can be moved by clicking on one of the selected tracks and dragging and dropping them to another location. The drop locations will be highlighted as you move the Track.

Holding down Control while dropping will cause the tracks to be cloned (copied) instead of moved.
