2. If you want to insert audio tracks, do the following:
• Fill in the number of audio tracks you want to insert in the Audio section’s Track Count field.
• Pick a main audio output for the tracks in the Main Destination field.
• If you want the main output that you chose to be the default output for new audio tracks,
enable the Set as Default Bus check box. You can also choose the default bus by right-
clicking a bus, and choosing Set as Default Bus from the pop-up menu.
• If you want your new audio tracks to contain a Send module that outputs to a specific bus,
choose the bus in the Send field. If you choose None, the new audio tracks will not contain a
Send module.

Your new tracks appear below any pre-existing tracks, with new audio tracks appearing above new
MIDI tracks.
Configuring the display of tracks in the Track view
There are several commands in the Track view View menu and Track pane context menu that allow
you to configure the appearance of your tracks in the Track view. You can use these commands to
zoom in or out, show or hide any combination of tracks, and revert back to previous display settings.
The following table lists each of these commands and provides an explanation of each.
Note: You can also choose the default output bus for new audio tracks by right-clicking a bus,
and choosing Set as Default Bus from the pop-up menu.
