Chapter 9 Working With Tracks 201
To delete a track name, do one of the following:
m Choose Track > Delete Track Name.
m Double-click on the track name to open the track name input box, and press Backspace
to delete the name.
The track (instrument or audio) channel strip name will then be used as the default
name shown in the track list (and for newly recorded regions).
Important: AutoName must be selected in the Track Configuration header for this
functionality to work.
Assigning Tracks to Channels
In general, you will 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. As an 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:
m Control-click the track icon or name, and choose the desired destination for the track in
the hierarchical Reassign Track Object menu.
 If you want to use a track for audio region recording or playback, choose an Audio >
Audio Track channel strip as the track destination.
 If you want to use a track for MIDI region recording or playback (via a software
instrument), choose an Audio > Instrument channel strip as the track destination.
