Bus strip colors

If you assign a color to a bus strip, all non-colored tracks that are routed to that bus automatically

inherit the same color by default.

For example, in the following figure, all tracks are routed to the Master bus. Tracks 1 and 2 have

custom track colors, while tracks 3-8 use default track colors. If you assign a custom color to the

Master bus, tracks 1 and 2 remain unchanged, while tracks 3-8 inherit the same color as the Master

bus.

Figure 62. The bus color also affects all non-colored tracks that are routed to that bus.

If you do not want tracks to inherit bus colors, go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Colors

and click the Track Defaults button, then click and hold down the Follow Bus button and select

Default on the pop-up menu. You can also configure individual tracks to ignore bus colors (see “To

select a track color” on page 236).

To remove a track color

Click the track’s Track Color bar to open the color palette, then assign Color to Default.

To use a custom color

Click the track’s Track Color bar to open the color palette, then click Other and specify the desired

color.

Tip:

If you want to visually verify which tracks are routed to a particular bus, temporarily assign a

custom color to a bus. All non-colored tracks that are routed to that bus automatically inherit the same

color.
