Thank you John So, when you've packed and muted the folder do the original eight track assignments remain on the arrange page - empty and ready for a new pass? Or do I need to reassign each time? Alternatively - Is it possible to record straight into a folder that I've pre-prepared. In other words, make a folder template for the drum assignments and keep on cloning a new folder for each pass. Is this viable? I know it's all a question of what one is used to, but I do find Logic very awkward in this type of scenario. Onwards, upwards, sideways and backwards. Very useful website you have there - thanks for pointing me to it. Regards Woody
