Note: You may lose important stereo data by using mono effects with stereo tracks because your stereo
tracks are summed to mono in order to pass through the effect. If you never want your stereo data to be
summed to mono, select stereo.

Changing Track Settings

Each track in a project contains MIDI or audio information and has a variety of settings (also called
parameters) that determine how the track sounds. By changing these parameters, you can change the
sound of your project. For audio tracks, you control parameters such as volume, stereo panning, and the
output device that is used to produce the sound. For MIDI tracks, you control many additional
parameters, including the type of instrument sound that is used to play the notes stored in the track.
Audio Track Parameters
The following pictures illustrate the parameters that audio tracks have. The pictures are of an audio
track that is located in the Track view, however most of these parameters can also be adjusted in the
