Peter 26Aug12: ToDo I still think there is a need for this page to explain the various types of tracks but it does need some editing, it looks like a Work-In-Progress:
  1. More explanatory text, it looks vey bare as it is
  2. Example of a stereo track
  3. Do we still have the "Note Track" functionality? - I can't see it from my Tracks>Add New drop-down so I'm confused.
  • Peter 26Aug12:I tried moving this page contents directly into a sandbox version of the Tracks Menu page (as way of keeping it stripped-back like this) but it just didn't look right there.
