Turn on the "help-window" in the lower left corner...

The first is for normal midi learn, the second for timecode maybe, and I think the third one are for control surfaces, But im not 100% sure. Was about to search the manual, but hey you can do that your self!

Its a while since I configured my computers.

I just wrote to Ableton to ask what these mean and they said they didnt know.

lmfao

track is for notes
sync is for midi start and stop
remote is for control messages like CC controls.

do not turn on more than you need, it makes Live do more work than it has to.

salad fork goes on the outside, dinner fork on the inside.

I noticed that you're using a novation/automap controller as well. Novation has pretty good documentation in their manuals (usually the automap manual in this case) on how to set up their controllers in Live (and a bunch of other popular software too). Go to their website and pick up the pdf for whichever version of automap you have (as well as your controller).

[3dot...]

control surfaces = scripts for specific controllers aka 'the blue hand'

track = the controller shows up in the track input/output selection menu

sync = midi sync

remote = makes the controller available for 'manual midi map' (ctrl-m) ...
(btw...a manual mapped cc 'overrides' the control surface script assigments )
