What year/version of BIAB are you using? The ability to control Utility Tracks in the Bar Settings window was added in the 2024 version. Originally Posted by DrDan Sorry, I have forgotten more than I remember about "all tracks being the same". But chatGPT says this... is it wrong? ChatGPT is often wrong (or out of date) and should not be considered a reliable source of information for anything. I'm using BIAB version 2023 build 1010 and as can be seen from this screenshot Guitar 4 is using utility #1, and F5 does not show anywhere to control utility tracks.
