The steps

Read them here, or press Play along and the studio will walk you through them.

  1. Open the canvas

    In the Session tab, press Canvas. Every track is a lane; each block is a clip placed on a bar timeline.

  2. Zoom the timeline

    Use the − and + buttons to zoom. Scroll sideways to pan along a long arrangement.

  3. Click to move the playhead

    Click the ruler (or any lane) to jump there. Then press Play — it starts from the spot you chose.

  4. Mute, solo and reorder

    Each lane has ▲▼ to reorder, M to mute and S to solo. Solo one lane to hear it alone.

    Close the canvas with the Close button when you're done.
