You can also add Auxiliary and VCA tracks from the Mixer > Options menu, as described in
the use aux channel strips and use VCA groups groups sections.
You can filter channel strips by type when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the
Advanced preferences pane, displaying only those channel strips that you need for the task
at hand.
Audio channel strips: Used to control the playback and recording of audio signals on
audio tracks. All data on the audio track is automatically routed to the audio channel
strip assigned in the track list.
Instrument channel strips: Used to control software instruments. Software instruments
are inserted via the channel strip’s Instrument slot. The instrument channel strip can
then be driven by a recorded MIDI region, or by playing your MIDI keyboard.
Aux (Auxiliary) channel strips: Used for a variety of signal-routing purposes. Aux
channel strips are used to set up send returns, where a channel strip signal is routed
to an aux channel strip for effects processing. They are also used for grouping and for
distributing a signal to multiple destinations via sends.
Output channel strips: Represent the physical audio outputs of your audio interface.
They are used to adjust the overall level and stereo balance—or pan position, in the
case of mono output channel strips—of all audio, instrument, or aux channel strips
routed to them. The number of available output channel strips is determined by the
audio interface in use.
