Using Audio Mixer Views
When you work on sequences with many audio tracks, some of the track strips in the
Audio Mixer may appear offscreen. To avoid having to constantly scroll back and forth,
you can hide the track strips of tracks you don’t immediately need to work with.
You can also create different views to organize groups of tracks in your sequence
according to their content. Using the Audio Mixer View buttons, you can save four
different sets of hidden and displayed track strips for each sequence in your project.
When you first open the Audio Mixer, the default view is View 1, showing all audio
tracks in your sequence. Any tracks you show or hide using the Track Visibility controls
while the View 1 button is selected are remembered as View 1.
If you click the View 2 button and then show or hide audio track strips, that altered
layout is remembered as View 2.
Clicking the View 1 button restores the state of the Audio Mixer to View 1, the way it
was before you clicked the View 2 button.
