The new track name is displayed in place of the channel strip name, and is used as the
default name for newly recorded regions.

Assigning Tracks in the Arrange Area

In general, you create new tracks when you want to record or play back new regions.
Corresponding channel strips are automatically created in the Mixer.

In some situations, however, you may want to reassign an existing track to a different
channel strip; for example, reassigning the output of a software instrument track to
another instrument channel strip. The MIDI regions on the track will be played back
through the inserted software instrument plug-in of the second channel strip.

To reassign a track to a specific channel strip

µ

Control-click (or right-click) the track icon or name, then choose the destination for the
track in the hierarchical Reassign Track shortcut menu.

• If you want to use a track for audio region recording or playback, choose a Mixer >

Audio channel strip as the track destination.
