Save Work in Progress
Before continuing with work on your session mix, you should take this
opportunity to save your work.
Save your work:
1. Choose FILE > SAVE to save your progress up to this point.
Mix the Project
The project is now ready for mixing to blend all of the tracks together. You
will use the Volume Faders and Pan Sliders to create a stereo mix.
Getting Started
To get started, you will determine the contribution of each track to the overall
mix by soloing each track individually. Tracks such as the Verb track only
process audio that passes through them and cannot be isolated by soloing.
Such tracks can be muted and unmuted to identify their contribution to the
mix.
Balance the main tracks:
1. Click the RETURN TO ZERO button in the Transport window to place the
insertion point at the beginning of the Timeline.
