13.3. RETURN TRACKS AND THE MASTER TRACK 173
A track is represented by its track title bar. You can click on a track title bar to select the
track and then execute an Edit menu command, such as Rename, on the track. One can
quickly rename a series of tracks by executing this command and then using the Tab key to
move from title bar to title bar.
Tracks are Represented
by Track Title Bars.
You can drag tracks by their title bars to rearrange them, or click and drag on their edges to
change their width (in the Session View) or height (in the Arrangement View).
Tracks are deleted using the Edit menu's Delete command.
13.3 Retur n Tracks and the Master Track
In addition to tracks that play clips, a Live Set has a Master track and up to twelve return
tracks; these cannot play clips, but allow for more exible signal processing and routing.
The return tracks and the Master track occupy the right-hand side of the Session mixer view
and the bottom end of the Arrangement View.
Note that you can hide and show the return tracks using the Returns command in the View
menu.
Like the normal clip tracks, the returns and the Master can host any number of effects.
However, whereas a clip track's effect processes only the audio within that track, return tracks
can process audio sent to them from numerous tracks.
For example, suppose you want to create rhythmic echoes with a delay effect. If you drag
the effect into a clip track, only clips playing in this track will be echoed. Placing this effect
in a return track lets it receive audio from any number of tracks and add echoes to them.
