To create a new track, press command shift n, then set your parameters. It's the first 3 that'll interest you, the number of tracks, mono or stereo, and type, all the rest is somewhat serperfluous.
Remember also, if you're creating an audio track, which will contain something like a vocal, or guitar, which you're DIing, you want to set it to mono, even though the final result will be stereo. This is because the signal is mono. Any fx you want to be stereo, you'll need to put on an aux track, at least this is the way I understand it, and it's what I do, and it works great. Any instrument tracks etc, want to be stereo. HTH, On 27/09/2011, Kevin Reeves <reeves...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Chris.
