For the 'Audio Track' specifically, yellow shows that an audio recording is present on the track.

If you temporarily remove the mute, what color is the text then? (another screen capture would be great).


Here you go. I suspect we won't be able to get to the bottom of this unless I start from scratch and try different things.

Here's what's happening. The screenshot I uploaded now is from my original song key (C). After I transposed to Eb and things sounded OK with the audio track muted, I saved the song with a name including Eb.

When I play this song with the Audio Track unmuted (as you see in the screenshot) it sounds awful.
Muting parts reveals why.
If I mute the audio track all sounds OK and it's playing the song in C.

If I mute the RealTracks, all sounds OK but it's playing the song now in Eb.

So the last time I saved this 'original' song in C I must have already tried a transpose to Eb.

But back to my original questions.
What is with this Audio Track?
Is it always there when you start a song?
What is its function?

I understand midi tracks (if you are using them).
I understand Real Tracks (if you are using them).
But why have something called 'Audio track'? Real Tracks ARE audio tracks!

And why program the software so that there is a chance that this audio track can conflict with existing Real Tracks/midi tracks if a transposition is done?

And why have an additional audio track added when it's not needed (it's just duplicating the Real Tracks)?
