4.3. Refining a Tracklist

Select or right-click Mix rows to refine a result:

  • Lock preserves authored positions during generation.
  • Replace with Another Track steps through compatible alternatives for one position.
  • Regenerate This Segment searches the unlocked region around the selected position while keeping its locked boundaries.
  • Remove Without Excluding removes a track but allows it to return later.
  • Exclude from This Position, This Segment, or Entire Mix records where the track should not return.
  • Exclusions reviews and removes those rules without changing the current tracklist.

Explicitly locked tracks remain authored choices even if a later settings change would not select them automatically. New generated positions still have to satisfy the current constraints.

Same-key alternatives put higher-rated tracks first. A compact star badge in the tracklist shows the current personal rating without turning it into Mix document state.

Each incoming transition keeps the explanation and settings context captured when that exact directed pair was authored. Changing the transition profile, key profile, key-matching scope, or BPM strategy therefore does not relabel earlier work. Hover a Mix row to review its origin and original context; if the current settings evaluate it differently, that comparison remains secondary tooltip detail. Replacing either endpoint creates a new edge, while moving an intact locked sequence keeps its existing explanations.

Clear removes the current tracklist, locks, and exclusions. It keeps the Mix name, target track count, planning settings, and audio Library.
