Audio Tracks

Audio Tracks for an asset are displayed beneath the preview player. Assets can have one or more audio tracks, and they can be selected by clicking on the audio track. This track will be highlighted, and this will be the track that plays when the preview is playing.

You can toggle between Timeline view displaying the waveform and Clip Bin view displaying any clips created from the asset by clicking the navigation bar above the audio tracks.
