Synth Tracks
Using a soft synth introduces a third kind of track to your project alongside
audio and MIDI tracks. A synth track functions much like an audio track,
but with a few differences:
• A synth track’s input is always a synth or a ReWire device, which
means you cannot record audio or enable input monitoring from another
source on that track.
• A synth track can display a waveform preview of its output. When you
enable this display function by clicking the button on the track strip,
the amplitude of a synth track's audio signal is graphed in real time as a
waveform.
• Synth tracks are distinguished by the synth icon to the right of the track
number.
