Coloring Tracks

Each track (or bus, or VCA) may have a color assigned to it.

To edit a track’s color, right-click on the track header (in the Edit window) or on the channel name-slate (in a mixer strip) and choose “Color”.

You can also assign a track to a Group, and then set the color of the group, which the track will inherit while it is part of the group.

Default track colors, and the track color palette

When a new bus is created, (including the 12 mix-buses), they are sequentially assigned a color from a palette. So if you have a specific bus layout and color scheme, you can use the palette to enforce the color scheme on new buses and VCA’s.

* starting in v9, Mixbus no longer assigns ‘random’ colors to new tracks when they are created. If you want to revert to the prior behavior, you can visit preferences->appearance->colors and check the box for “use color palette…..”. Buses and VCA’s are still assigned sequentially from the color palette.

Once you’ve selected a color from the color wheel, you can drag & drop colors into the palette, in the bottom right corner. Changes to the palette will be saved in your preferences.

When a new track is assigned, it will be assigned the top-left color of the palette.
