In the Precount Options section you can specify how long (i.e. for how

Duplicating tracks
On the Project menu, you will find the new “Duplicate track” command.

Sample rate conversion when importing tracks
A track archive may contain media files with a sample rate that is dif-
ferent from the sample rate of your currently active project. When im-
porting such a track archive, the Import Options dialog will show the 
different sample rates and an additional option in the Media Options

The Stereo Pan Law modes
In the Project Setup dialog there is a pop-up menu named “Stereo Pan 
Law”, on which you can select a pan mode. These different pan modes 
provide gain compensation. This is necessary because without com-
pensation, the gain of the sum of the left and right side will be higher 
(louder) if a channel is panned center than if it’s panned left or right. 
This is described in the chapter “The mixer” in the Operation Manual.

Resizing tracks in the Track list
With the introduction of version 3.1 of the program, you have now the 
possibility to resize a track in the Track list without automatically select-
ing it. This is a handy feature when “Enlarge Selected Track” is acti-
vated (see page 52). 
Normally, a track automatically gets selected when it is being resized 
in the Track list. With Enlarge Selected Track activated, it is therefore 
impossible to change the track size for a...

Inspector sub panels
Normally, when a MIDI track is routed to a VST instrument, a new sub 
panel (with the name of the instrument) is added to the inspector for 
the selected track.
This is now also the case in the following situations:
• When a MIDI track is routed to an external instrument or effect that has an asso-
ciated MIDI Device. In this case, the new sub panel gets the name of the device.
• When a MIDI track is routed to an effect plug-in that also...

and the Delay parameter).

ity Compression and Length Compression).

Dissolving parts
The option “Optimized Display” has been added to the Dissolve Part di-
alog. The Dissolve Part function still splits parts into separate channels 
or pitches (depending on your settings), but you can now automatically 
remove the silent (empty) areas of the resulting parts by activating the 
“Optimized Display” checkbox.
The Legato dialog
One new feature has been added to the Legato dialog. Previously, 
when the Legato function was applied, it...
