What are Sessions
Sessions are multi-track audio editors for arranging and mixing audio content. The Session Editor provides a timeline-based workspace where audio clips can be positioned, edited, and mixed.
Use Cases
Sessions serve two distinct purposes:
- Standalone Sessions: Create custom compositions by combining multiple audio tracks, recordings, and effects
- Rotation Sessions: Record voicetracks for rotation items with automatic context loading (intro and outro tracks)
Main Features
- Multiple audio tracks on a horizontal timeline
- Non-destructive editing (cropping, fades, volume adjustments)
- Four editing modes: Drag, Select, Cut, and Slip
- Voice track recording with microphone input
- Volume automation through envelope curves
- Ducking with configurable parameters
- Undo/Redo (50 steps)
