Adding tracks
To add a track to the project, proceed as follows:
1. Open the “Add Track” submenu from the Project menu or from the track list
context menu.
2. Select a track type.
If you select the Audio, MIDI, Group Channel, or Instrument option from the Add
Track submenu, a dialog opens, allowing you to insert several tracks in one go.
Just enter the desired number of tracks in the Count field.
• For Audio, MIDI, and Group Channel tracks, you can also specify a track name.
• For audio and group channel tracks, the channel configuration – mono, stereo or
surround configuration (Cubase only) – can be set on the Configuration pop-up
menu.
Ö The “Add Track Using Track Preset” option allows you to select a Track Preset. This is
described in the chapter
“Working with track presets” on page 422.
Once you have created tracks, you can manipulate and rearrange them in various
ways. This is explained in the following sections.
