Changing Track Settings
Each track in a project contains MIDI or audio information and has a
variety of settings that determine how the track sounds. By changing
these settings, you can change the sound of your project. For audio
tracks, you control the volume, the stereo panning, and the output device
that is used to produce the sound. For MIDI tracks, you control many
additional settings, including the type of instrument sound that is used
to play the notes stored in the track.
Here is a summary table of the different track parameters and how they
are used. For more information on any setting, see the indicated page of
the UserÕs Guide. The following parameters apply to all types of tracks:
