Create tracks using existing channel strips in Logic Pro for Mac

1. In Logic Pro, select a track in the Tracks area.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Choose Track > Other > New Track With Same Channel (or use the corresponding key command).

   • Option-click the Duplicate Track button  above the track headers.

A new track is created below the selected track.

• In Logic Pro, select a track in the Tracks area, then choose Track > Other > New Track With Next Channel (or use the corresponding key command).

This command creates a new track below the selected track, and assigns the next channel strip to it. If no next channel strip exists, one is created automatically.

If the selected track is a part or sub-channel track of a multi-timbral software instrument or external instrument, the command is New Track with Next MIDI Channel. A new track is created, with the next MIDI channel assigned to the same multi-timbral software instrument or external MIDI device.

• In Logic Pro, select the regions, then choose Track > Other > New Track For Selected Regions.

The selected regions are moved from the source track to the new track, which uses the same channel strip as the source track. In other words, only one channel strip is used for all tracks.

If you use this command with regions selected across several tracks, a new track is created for each source track. For example, if you select regions on three source tracks, three new tracks will be created for the regions.

• In Logic Pro, select the regions, then choose Track > Other > New Track For Overlapped Regions.

New tracks are created for wholly or partly overlapped regions, which are redistributed across the newly created tracks. A new track is created for each overlap. All tracks use the same channel strip as the original track. In other words, only one channel strip is used for all tracks.

• In Logic Pro, option-drag the track header up or down.

All selected regions and any automation data on the original track are copied to the new track. The new track has the same channel strip as the original track.

• In Logic Pro, option-drag the regions on the destination track.
