This is something I've requested on and off for years! We need to know what precisely is the purpose and effect/outcome of adjusting these settings.

To clarify, the thing to concentrate on for this subject is this entire interface:

Hey Icelander,

User Tracks are a pretty advanced feature, so we created this extensive tutorial video that goes over the process.

The user manual also needs a description of the options on that screenshot.

I believe it was forum user Pipeline that did an excellent detailed explanation of this page several years ago. I thought it was very thorough. No video though. You may want to contact him and see if he will repost it.

The UserTrack development page is a glance and small representation of what PG Music calls Wav Instructions which is the proprietary coding used to select and direct BIAB to what RealTrack audio data to select and play on a Mixer Track. Wav Instructions do much more than the few listed for UserTracks but since UserTracks are meant to be similar in function to RealTracks, including some of these Wav Instruction type data is a necessary component.
