Selecting Tracks

Selecting tracks is the first step in a variety of editing tasks. You can move selected tracks, copy them to the clipboard, delete, and edit multiple tracks at once.

TIP When multiple tracks are selected, you can perform editing tasks on all selected tracks simultaneously. For example, to adjust the volume of several audio tracks while preserving their relative levels, select the tracks and drag the Volume fader on any selected track. All the faders will move together.
