"I'm going to show you the different views within the auxiliary track. The auxiliary track is basically the track you can set, you can send any audio into and it's good for bossing and things like reverb and the way, anything like that. So this track right here is an auxiliary track. I have a, once your vocals go into it, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you different views that it has. It has the volume view, a mute view, pan left and pan right. It also has different busses. I have bus out to 9-10 and 11-12. Within 9 and 10, I have different level, mute and panning options that I can also effect. Within this track, I'm going to show you how to change maybe the volume. You just have to highlight whatever you want to change and you can rise it up and change the volume to any distance level that you want. You can also change the muting just by highlighting the part and muting it. You can also change the panning on the left side and the right side because of the stereo. You can also, if you want to look at both the sides, you might want to go to the suspended track display so that you can see the pan left and the pan right. Pan left, pan right, so that you change it together."
