Pro Tools 101_ An Introduction to Pro Tools 11 ( PDFDrive )

In this section of the project, you will create a new track needed for the
session. Additional details on the commands and processes used in this
section can be found in Lesson 3.
Create and Name a Track
For this project, you will need to create one new track that you will use to
edit a sound effect. When creating tracks, you should always select the track
type and format based on how the tracks will be used. In this case, you will
need to edit a stereo sound effect, so a stereo Audio track will be
appropriate.
Create a stereo Audio track:
1. Click on the FX 07 track nameplate toward the bottom of the Edit
window to select the track. This will ensure that your new track will
appear directly below FX 07, keeping all of the FX tracks together.
Tip: Pro Tools always places new tracks below the lowest selected
track in the session. If no tracks are selected, Pro Tools places the
new track(s) at the bottom of the session.
2. Choose TRACK > NEW. The New Tracks dialog box will open,
displaying Mono, Audio Track, and Samples as default selections from
left to right.
3. Click on the TRACK FORMAT selector and choose STEREO from the pop-up
menu.

4. Click CREATE in the New Tracks dialog box. A new stereo track will be
added to the session, beneath the FX 07 track.
