Chapter 7 Work with tracks 166
Create a new track for selected regions
m Select the regions, then choose Track > Other > New Track For Selected Regions.
The selected regions are moved from the source track to the new track, which uses the same
channel strip as the source track. In other words, only one channel strip is used for all tracks.
If you use this command with regions selected across several tracks, a new track is created for
each source track. For example, if you select regions on three source tracks, three new tracks will
be created for the regions.
Create a new track for overlapped regions
m Select the regions, then choose Track > Other > New Track For Overlapped Regions.
New tracks are created for wholly or partly overlapped regions, which are redistributed across
the newly created tracks. A new track is created for each overlap. All tracks use the same channel
strip as the original track. In other words, only one channel strip is used for all tracks.
Copy a track in the Tracks area
m Option-drag the track header up or down.
All selected regions and any automation data on the original track are copied to the new track.
The new track has the same channel strip as the original track.
Replicate or restore regions on the original track
m Option-drag the regions on the destination track.
Reassign tracks to different channel strips
In some situations, you may want to reassign a track to a different channel strip. For example, you
can reassign the output of a software instrument track to another instrument channel strip, so
that the MIDI regions on both tracks are played through the same software instrument plug-in.
Reassign a track to a different channel strip
1 Control-click the track header.
2 Choose Reassign Track from the shortcut menu, then choose a channel strip from the submenu.
Globally reassign multiple tracks that share the same channel strip
m Hold down Option when reassigning a track channel strip, then confirm the action by clicking
the Reassign All Tracks button.
The new channel strip will be used for every track that shared the original channel strip in the
current project (including tracks in folders).
