Is there a way to select where you want your MIDI-tracks?

Post by Tomas E »

When creating a new instrument and adding MIDI-tracks they are always placed above the instrument. I would like to have them beneath instead as default. Is that possible?

Not that I know of. I'm always moving them after creating instruments.

You can make track templates for your instruments that have them arranged as you want, even pre-set in to folders.

Watch this video that I made here for the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP3VYAujBAU



Just make a few of those for your favorite instruments and you are good to go. They can even include aux sends, busses, plugins etc...
