Selected Tracks vs. Active Tracks

In WaveLab Pro, a track can have the status unselected, selected, and active. Some editing functions can only be applied to an active tracks, while others can be applied to selected tracks.

  • A selected track is a track that you have selected using any of the selecting tracks procedures. Several tracks can be selected at the same time. This allows you add the selected tracks to a track group or render multiple tracks.

    The track control area of selected tracks has a different background color.

  • An active track is a track that you selected, clicked, or edited last. Only one track is active at a time. Some functions can only be applied to an active track.

    The active track is indicated by a blue dot at the left side of the track control area.
