Changing a Track Name and Icon

team bbl


There's one last thing to do to this song before we move on to another project. Let's change the icon for the Jazz Kit track to reflect the instrument you actually recorded in that track. The track icon is the picture of an instrument on the left side of the track header.

To change a track's icon, you first need to double-click the current track icon to open the Track Info window.

1.

Double-click the track icon for the Jazz Kit track.

The Track Info window for the Jazz Kit track opens.

2.

Click the track icon in the Track Info window to reveal the Icons menu.

3.

Click-drag the scroller on the right of the Icons menu to locate the Wind Chime icon.

The Wind Chime icon is located in the upper-right corner of the Icons menu.

4.

Click the Wind Chime icon to select that icon for the track and close the Track Info window.

Now let's change the name of the track itself from Jazz Kit to Wind Chime.

5.

Click the Jazz Kit track header to select the entire track (if it is not already selected).

6.

Click the track name on the Jazz Kit track header to select it. Hold the pointer over the name momentarily.

When the name appears highlighted, you can type a new name in the name field.

7.

Type Wind Chime in the track's name field, then press Return.

The track has now been renamed.

Project Tasks

Double-click the track icon to open the Track Info window.

2.

Change the icon to a wind chime.

3.

Click the name field in the track's header and type Synth Wind Chime in the Name field and press Return.
