Locking Audio Tracks
T-SBFND-009-013
By default, an audio track follows the timing changes made to your project. This means that if you extend the duration of a panel, the audio track following this panel will move in consequently. However, you can lock an audio track to prevent it from following the timing change. Locking a track will also prevent you from making unwanted changes to the audio timing. Once it is locked, it is impossible to drag and modify the sound clips or import more sound into this track.
When your project's audio tracks are all unlocked, you can lock them all at the same time. When all audio tracks are unlocked, you can quickly decide to lock all but one.
