Change track colors in a Logic Pro project
By default, track colors reflect the track type. You can change the color of specific
tracks, to use color to help visually organize the Tracks area and identify tracks in a large
arrangement. Track colors are visible when you configure track header components to
show the track color bars.
Changing the color of a track also changes the color of the corresponding channel strip in
the Mixer.
Change the color of a track
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Select the track, choose Track > Assign Track Color, then select a color from the Color
palette.
Control-click the track header, choose Assign Track Color from the shortcut menu, then
select a color from the Color palette.
Reorder tracks in a Logic Pro project
You can reorder tracks in the Tracks area. Changing the order of tracks doesn’t affect the
sound of a project, but lets you organize tracks visually to keep instruments in a particular
order, or keep related tracks together. For example, you can keep all drum tracks together,
or keep all tracks that double the same melody together.
When Advanced Editing options is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can
also sort tracks by choosing one of the options in the Track > Sort Tracks By menu.
