MIXING AUDIO | 201
Adding track, assignable FX, and bus channels
In its default configuration, the Mixing Console displays a channel for each track, bus, and assignable effects chain in your project.
You can use the buttons on the Mixing Console toolbar to add tracks, assignable effects chains, or busses to your project:
Using audio track channel strips
A separate channel strip is displayed for each audio track in your project. Each channel strip mirrors controls that are displayed in
the track header.
To show or hide audio track channel strips, click the Audio Tracks button in the View Controls pane. For more information, see The
View Controls pane on page 198.
Renaming audio tracks
To rename a track, double-click the track label at the bottom of the channel strip and type a new name in the box (or press F2 to
rename the selected track). The channel strip in the Mixing Console and the track header are updated when you press Enter.
