playback and record audio, MIDI, and image data.

<title>Hiding Tracks</title>
25
The track list on the left edge of the Editor and Mixer can be used to
26
hide or show specific tracks in either or both of those two windows.
27
To hide a track, click to on the tracks name in the relevant track
28
list. To show a track, click on its name in the track list. Visible
29
tracks have their names shown in cyan, hidden ones in orange.
33
You can also hide any track by clicking its hide button
34
(images/hidebutton.ps).
38
Hiding a track in the Editor has no effect on its visibility in the
39
Mixer, and vice versa. Hiding a track in one or both windows does not
40
affect the playback of that track's material.
