Making changes to the overall project

Each project has a master track. Changes you make to the master track apply to the overall project. The master track includes echo, reverb, equalizer, and compressor effects. You can add one additional effect to the master track, and add a master volume curve to change the project’s overall volume over time, or add a master pitch curve to transpose the project to a different key.

When you show the master track, it appears below the other tracks in the timeline.

To view the master track’s settings in the Track Info pane:

Select the master track, then click the Track Info button.

The echo and reverb effects on individual tracks are “sends” that feed the signal to the echo and reverb effects in the master track. If you turn off echo or reverb in the master track, they will not be available for individual tracks.

To learn how to show the master track, see Related Topics below.
