How to automatically change track on scene change

Post by his_ripness » Fri Mar 27, 2020 4:11 pm

I would like for the track focus switch to a different track automatically when I change scenes, so that when the scene changes, I'm automatically playing a different instrument / track. Is there a way to do this? TIA.

You can do that with Instrument Racks, no need to change tracks.

Thanks! This was the clue I needed. I had already switched to using Racks, but still couldn't figure out how to do the automation I needed.

If anyone else is following along, this was also helpful.
