Get started with track header controls

Each track has a track header that shows the track name and icon, as well as a number of track controls including Mute, Solo, and Record Enable buttons. Audio tracks also feature an Input Monitoring button. The track headers are located along the left side of the Tracks area, so you can easily see the mute, solo, and other settings for all tracks while working.

Some track header controls, including volume, pan, mute, and solo controls, correspond to channel strip controls on the track’s channel strip in the Mixer—changing one (for instance, dragging the Volume slider in a track header) produces a corresponding change in the other (in this case, the Volume fader on the track’s channel strip).
