Yes that will hide the track in the mixer view. I am not certain as to the "inactive" status however. Greg? Does doing this have any effect on reducing resource loads?
My use of this function has been to make the tracks I was working with fit into the window as needed.
But back to what I was describing, imagine this scenario working in the "tracks view":
You edit a set of clips into a (possibly finished) track and have it ready for your rough mix. You can render the clips into a track.... but you want to keep the original clips conveniently available for possible later changes.
Render a copy of the track, make the original tracks status "hidden and inactive" and you have both, but only one active instead of so many project versions. Make sense?
And a further explanation of the "clip gain slider" I was describing. In the example I saw, a slider popped up, and when adjusted, the waveform of the highlighted section responded to the adjustments, so you could very quickly adjust the level to pretty closely match relative to the other portions of the track.
Its hard to describe clearly, and a minor thing really. But when witnessed in person, it was a "wow" moment. Pretty slick IMO!
