When a new song is opened, or in the default song when one opens LE, a list of default tracks appear.. The first 8 tracks are audio tracks for recording instruments, inserting wav files, etc. The following 8 are audio instrument tracks, for recording software instrument regions, etc. My question is with respect to the following 32 tracks, the ones with the different instument names, grnd piano, muted gt, etc. These tracks have no input field, therefore it seems they are no good to record live or software instruments..... 1) what are they for? 2) can these tracks be switched to audio or audio instrument tracks? 3) are these 32 tracks the max number of allowed tracks in ME? thanks J

You can switch them to whatever you want, as long as it is in your setup (environment) just hold your mouse on the name of track (in the arrange window) and select what you want. If you mean LE (not ME) then no, you can have more tracks. Go to setup assistant and change it. Blair -- blairfisher@shaw.ca

These are MIDI tracks. > 1) what are they for? For recording MIDI to drive extrnal MIDI modules via the hardware MIDI Out port. > 2) can these tracks be switched to audio or audio instrument tracks? No. They connect with a unique object class (as Audio tracks connect with Audio Objects and Instrument tracks connects with Virtual Instrument Objects. All object classes are seen in the environment, where MIDI is handled on a layer of its own) All the best Per Boysen > 3) are these 32 tracks the max number of allowed tracks in ME? > > thanks > J >
