Editing Track Properties with the Keyboard
Most of the properties of a track, such as recording status, recording readiness, mute or solo status, can be set with the mouse using the corresponding buttons in the Mixer, Track head or Track editor.
However, in the menu Track > More > Track properties there are also special menu items for all these properties to be able to set these properties with the keyboard.
For further information on the properties, also read the section Channel strips in the Mixer chapter!
