Just a wild shot in the dark here; but is it possible you have assigned a track name in the arrange window and are viewing track names only and not instrument names? I have been caught by this myself a few times. I find logic doesn't handle this situation too intelligently. If you have the view track names option enabled in the arrange window and then use the create a new track with next instrument key command, it seems to copy the actual "track name" to the new track (even though it may be creating a new instrument). This seems fairly unintuitive. The behavior of when Logic seems to copy the track name to new tracks seems a bit confusing and inconsistent. If you are viewing track names, try toggling it off, and examine the behaviour with the create new track commands. It may become more apparent to you what is going on. Or, I may be totally on the wrong track here....... :-)) -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com
