Audio tracks
An audio track can only have a single audio lane containing clips with mono or stereo audio recordings. However,
each audio clip can contain several recordings, i.e. different "takes". You can view and comp these takes in the
Comp Editor. See “Audio Editing in the Sequencer” for more details. An audio track can also have parameter auto-
mation lanes containing automation for the Audio Track Channel strip parameters in the Main Mixer.
Instrument tracks
Devices that can receive MIDI notes, such as the ID8 device, will automatically be assigned a record enabled track
when created. On an instrument track you can create a number of separate note lanes that can incorporate clips
containing a combination of note and performance controller events. Multiple lanes are perfect if you, for example,
are recording a drum track and want to record each drum sound on a separate lane. An instrument track can also
have a number of parameter automation lanes that can contain clips with instrument parameter automation events.
Parameter automation (“non-instrument”) tracks
Tracks for devices that do not receive MIDI note data (e.g. effects and mixer devices and mixer channels in the
Main Mixer) can only contain parameter automation lanes. These “non-instrument” devices are not automatically
assigned a track when created. To automate parameters for non-instrument devices you need to manually create
a track for these. The number of available lanes is limited by the number of parameters of each device. There can
be one lane for each automatable parameter in the device.
