Track controls let you adjust and add effects to recorded tracks so they work together and complement one another. Mixing tracks is the final step before exporting audio projects and sharing them with students, parents, or colleagues.
Open track controls. Tap Track Controls 
, then tap an instrument thumbnail to see what adjustments can be made to that track. Tap Play 
to listen as you’re making adjustments.
Adjust the balance between the left and right speakers. Drag the Track Pan slider to shift sound from the left to the right.
Adjust treble and bass to change the track’s tone. Drag the Treble or Bass slider to the right or left.
Drag the Reverb Level and Echo Level sliders to hear how they affect the sound.
Drag the Compressor slider to smooth the difference between the loudest and softest parts of a track.
Record parts of a play or a skit using separate tracks. Mix the tracks so all the voices can be heard equally, then apply effects to enhance the characters’ personalities.
Add effects like reverb and echo when mixing a project to simulate the sound of voices recorded in different environments, like a large hall or a river canyon.
Add master effects, including echo (delay) and reverb, to an entire song. Use level sliders to control the intensity of the master effects added to each track of the project.
