Creating Tracks
You can create mono and stereo tracks on all
Pro Tools systems. With Pro Tools HD or
Pro Tools LE with the Complete Production
Toolkit option, you can also create multichan-
nel tracks (from LCR to 7.1).
When new tracks are created, they are given a
default name that can be changed at any time.
‹
To insert new tracks next to a specific track in
a session, select that track by clicking the track’s
name in the Mix or Edit window before opening
the New Tracks dialog. The new tracks are added
immediately after the selected track.
‹
To insert new tracks after the last tracks in a
session, make sure that no track names are se-
lected on-screen before opening the New Tracks
dialog.
