Assigning Tracks in the Arrange Area<br />

In general, you create new tracks when you want to record or play back new regions.<br />

Corresponding channel strips are automatically created in the Mixer.<br />

In some situations, however, you may want to reassign an existing track to a different<br />

channel strip; for example, reassigning the output of a software instrument track to<br />

another instrument channel strip. The MIDI regions on the track will be played back<br />

through the inserted software instrument plug-in of the second channel strip.<br />

To reassign a track to a specific channel strip<br />

µ Control-click (or right-click) the track icon or name, then choose the destination for the<br />

track in the hierarchical Reassign Track shortcut menu.<br />

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

Audio channel strip as the track destination.<br />

• If you want to use a track for MIDI region recording or playback (via a software<br />

instrument), choose a Mixer > Software Instrument channel strip as the track destination.<br />

• If you want to use a track for MIDI region recording or playback (via a MIDI sound<br />

generator), choose a MIDI Instr. > Model/Instrument name channel strip as the track<br />

destination.<br />

To globally reassign multiple tracks that share a channel strip destination<br />

µ Hold down the Option key when reassigning a track channel strip, then confirm the dialog<br />

by clicking the Reassign All Tracks button.<br />

The new track destination (reassigned channel strip) will be used for every track that<br />

shared the original track destination in the current project (including tracks in folders).<br />

As an example:<br />

• Tracks 1 to 4 are assigned to instrument channel strip 6.<br />

• You use the Option key to reassign one of these tracks to instrument channel strip 15.<br />

• Tracks 1 to 4 are reassigned to instrument channel strip 15.<br />
