Timeline & Tracks
The Session Editor uses a horizontal timeline where audio tracks are arranged and edited. Each track occupies a row on the timeline and can contain one or more audio clips.
Track Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Audio | Media items dragged from the Media Library |
| Recording | Voice tracks recorded directly in the session |
| Cartwall | Elements from the Cartwall for quick playback |

Track Editing
Each track on the timeline can be edited non-destructively.

Fades
Define fade-in and fade-out curves for smooth transitions.

Volume
Adjust the track volume using the volume slider. Range: 0% (silent) to 200% (amplified).
Zoom and Navigation
Horizontal Zoom
Adjust the pixels-per-second ratio to zoom in or out on the timeline. Higher values show more detail for precise editing.

Multi-Clip Support
Each track row can contain multiple audio clips. Clips on the same row play sequentially and cannot overlap. To layer audio, place clips on separate track rows.
