■ WORKING WITH TRACKS: TRACK PANEL SELECTORS

To activate all tracks at once, select your Source composer monitor for Source

tracks or the Record composer monitor for your Timeline tracks. Press Ctrl/F+A on

the keyboard. Voilà! All your tracks are activated. To deactivate all tracks, follow the

same procedure, but press Shift+Ctrl+A/Shift+F+A.

MONITORING

Here’s an interesting thought: If panel selectors allow you to activate them, can you

still turn on and off the ability to monitor them? The answer is yes.

With Source track panel selectors, the on/off switch for monitoring is the little

adjacent minipanel on the left. With Record track panel selectors, the switch is on the

right. To toggle between on and off (see Figure 4.6), click the minipanel. In Xpress Pro,

you can monitor a maximum of 16 out of a possible 24 audio tracks.

The one anomaly here is how video is monitored. Video can be monitored only

one track at a time. But it reads from the top down. In other words, the top monitored

track takes priority. If the top track is a key, it reads both the key and whatever is

underneath it. But we’ll cover keys later. The important thing is to understand that the

top monitored track takes priority, then the track underneath, and then the track

underneath that one. So if you are using Xpress Pro, have four video tracks, and turn

monitoring on the fourth track, the fourth track will be read first, then the third, then

the second, and then the first.

If the top monitored track covers anything on the tracks below, they will not be

seen. If you select a lower track, it will be seen, but the higher track will not.

Figure 4.6 Note that some of the adjacent

minipanels are on (Monitored) and some are

not (Not Monitored).
