This template helps create the tracks for a typical pop/rock band.
-You will be prompted to assemble your session from a list of track types.
+You will be prompted to assemble your session from a list of suggested tracks.
-Each track will be pre-assigned with a color.
+You may rename each track, and you may choose whether it is mono (default) or stereo.
Optionally, tracks may be assigned to sensible Groups ( vocals, guitars, drums )
+Each track will be pre-assigned a color corresponding to its group.

Optionally, tracks may be assigned Gates and other plugins.
