Created page with '# pick any Audio+G song # duplicate it (⌘-D) # Get Info on it # put the word "scratch" into all 3 fields: Name, Artist, Album (that way you know this is your "scratch track"). …'

New page

# pick any Audio+G song
# duplicate it (⌘-D)
# Get Info on it
# put the word "scratch" into all 3 fields: Name, Artist, Album (that way you know this is your "scratch track"). Or you can name it whatever you want that you'll remember.
# go to the Advanced menu and pick "Producer". You are now editing a copy of that song. It still has graphics so you need to clear them out
# Press the Home key then the "I" key. This sets the In point for the orange time selection brackets to the start of the song
# Press the End key then the "O" key. This sets the Out point for the orange time selection brackets to the end of the song
# Hold the Option (alt) key when you press "Clear", this will clear all the existing graphics *without* preserving the color palette
# Press the Home key then the "I" key then the "O" key. This sets the In and Out points to the start of the song (to get them out of your way)
# Save (⌘-S)

Now you are ready to edit or create your show screens using this "scratch" timeline.
