Chapter 9 Working With Tracks 195
Transferring a Channel Strip Setting to a New Track
You can create a new track that uses the same channel strip assignment and settings as
the selected track. This is a quick and easy way to create a duplicate of an existing track
and channel strip, without replicating the data on the track.
To transfer the channel assignment to a new track:
1 Select the source track (the one with the channel strip and settings that you want to
duplicate).
2 Do one of the following:
 Choose Track > New with Duplicate Setting in the Arrange area.
 Click the Duplicate Track button above the track list in the Arrange area.
Logic Express creates the new track that uses the same channel assignments and
settings directly below the source track. The data on the track (if any exists) is not
duplicated.
If you want to copy a track, inclusive of any data, but do not want to copy the channel
strip, please see “Copying Tracks and Moving Regions” on page 197.
∏ Tip: You can double-click in the empty space below the track header of the last track,
to create a new track. This will be of the same type as the selected track.
Creating Tracks by Adding Apple Loops
You can also create tracks by dragging Apple Loops from the Loop Browser directly into
a blank Arrange window area. A track and corresponding channel strip are
automatically created, and the Apple Loop is loaded. For more details on adding Apple
Loops, see “Finding Apple Loops in the Loop Browser” on page 273.
Creating Tracks by Adding Audio Files
You can also create tracks by dragging audio files from the Media Browser directly into
a blank Arrange area. A track and corresponding channel strip are automatically
created, and a region (that is the full length of the audio file) is added to the new
Arrange track. The audio file (and corresponding region) is also automatically added to
the Audio Bin.
