Changing track settings
To select a track color
1. Click the track’s Track Color bar, which is located at the far left in the Track view and the bottom
of the Console view.
2. In the track color palette, select the desired color. You can preview colors in real-time as you
point to different color swatches. To assign a custom color, click the Other button and select the
desired color. By default, tracks follow the color of the bus they are assigned to. If you do not
want to assign a custom color or follow the bus color, click and hold down the Follow Bus
button, then select Default on the pop-up menu.
When a track color is set to Default, the track strip will not be tinted, and clips will revert to using the
track colors that are specified in the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences > Customization
- Colors).
Tip: You can use a Quick Group to change the color of multiple tracks simultaneously. To do so,
select the tracks you want to change, then hold down the CTRL key while you change any selected
track’s color. All selected tracks will be set to the same color settings. For more information, see
“Quick Groups” on page 954.
