Track and Channel Creation Commands
The commands and methods discussed in this section will create both tracks and
corresponding channel strips.
To create one or more new tracks (and channels):
1 Do one of the following:
 Choose Track > New in the Arrange area’s local menu bar (or use the Create New
Tracks key command).
 Click the Create Track button (the button with the plus icon above the track list).
2 In the New Tracks dialog that launches, choose the type, and type in the number, of
tracks you want to create.
3 Activate the Open Library checkbox (if not already enabled) to automatically open the
Library tab in the Media area. This allows you to immediately select settings for the
track type that you have created.
4 Click Create.
The new track is created at the currently selected track position, and all ensuing tracks
(below it) are moved down the track list.
Using the New Tracks Dialog
The New Tracks dialog offers different options for each track type, when generating
tracks. These are outlined below.
