Malyan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 When in any track, i find myself unable to move tracks around in the mixer window. For example, I'm currently working on a track, band setup. I created all my vocal tracks at the same time, multiple tracks for each vocalist. I want to duplicate one of the tracks so that i can give it different insert effects and a different level/pan, so I create a new track. Lo and behold, there it is on the mixer, coming up as the first track, about 30 tracks away from the other vocals. In the arrange window, it is right next to the track i want it to be next to, but I can't seem to move the track in the mixer! This may be a very simple workaround, but it is something that I have always tried, and failed to do repeatedly. I've tried googling this issue repeatedly, along with searching the manual over many a cuppa, with no luck. Maybe I'm just suffering from an OCD and this is just a typical winge, but I do find it annoying! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmemories Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 On the top right in mixer view, you can select "Single", "Arrange" or "All". Just use "Arrange" to order you channels the same way as your tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malyan Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ahh there it is! I pressed all in order to view the click track. Is there any way to still see the click channel in arrange view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ahh there it is!I pressed all in order to view the click track. Is there any way to still see the click channel in arrange view? Yes, go to "All", control click the click channel and choose "add to arrange". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malyan Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Many many many thanks. I wish I had asked this question a few months ago, and would have saved myself a lot of wasted time busting my fingers trying to find the secret 'move track' key combination. I know where to come in the future. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taterslll Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi, This is something I've never been able accomplish. I was excited to see this post, but am still having problems. In the mixer view, I make sure arrange is selected, but when I click-drag the track name to rearrange it it acts as a selector. That's what I normally do to change parameters on multiple tracks. I would love to rearrange though. Anyway, any help anyone can provide is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malyan Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 When you put it in arrange mode, it goes into the same order that it is in the arrange window, move the tracks around in there instead =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwiega Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Any way to integrate Aux/Buses into the track arrangement? (ie: would like to have my Drums Bus next to Drum tracks). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Any way to integrate Aux/Buses into the track arrangement? (ie: would like to have my Drums Bus next to Drum tracks) Yes: control-click your channel strip and choose Create/Select Arrange Track. Then in the Arrange area, move the track assigned to your Aux to the desired location, right next to your drum tracks. The Drum bus Aux in the Mixer will move accordingly.

Scott Jackson Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 control-click your channel strip and choose Create/Select Arrange Track. Or change the Automation Mode on the Aux channel strips to anything but Off and Logic will automatically make tracks in the Arrange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvercomerProductions Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hey all~ I just upgraded to Logic X (loving it) on my iMac (3.4Ghz Intel Core i7 / 16GB RAM). However I am having the same problem as what is listed above (wanting to be able to move/rearrange tracks in the Mixer window) but the directions above do not apply in Logic X (I cannot find them in the same place). Any help will be greatly appreciated. All the tracks in the Mixer window are currently arranged according to the Aux number, and I want to be able to arrange them according to however I need to group them for convenient mixing. I do have "Tracks" selected in the Mixer window. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmemories Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It is working the same way in Logic X, just follow what David wrote to add the channel strip in arrange window: Yes: control-click your channel strip and choose Create/Select Arrange Track. Then in the Arrange area, move the track assigned to your Aux to the desired location, right next to your drum tracks. The Drum bus Aux in the Mixer will move accordingly.

Lucas Marston Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I've tried this in Logic Pro X and still no dice. You mentioned that in older versions there are the choices of Single, Arrange and All. In Logic Pro X there are Single, TRACKS and All. When I follow your advice to create an arrange track it does create a track in my arrange window of whatever I'm working with but no matter where I place that particular track it will not follow suit in my mix window. So now I have a cluttered up arrange window with a bunch of bus tracks that I made in hopes that the order that I set them to in my arrange window would dictate my mix window but they all just stay put. Why would Logic ever think that doing something like this should require anything other than simply dragging a track to its desired destination anyways?

Have you experimented with the "Track Stacks" feature introduced in LPX? It makes the housekeeping of many tracks and their aux busses simple, clean, and convenient.

triplets Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I cant seem to find create/select Arrange track!? Select the Aux in the mixer and hit Control-T and the Aux will appear on the Arrange track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egor Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The problem still persist in Logic Pro X 10.4.4 Can't move tracks in Mix mode They are randomly placed. even my groups are not in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 What's mix mode?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egor Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Mix view. Tracks stand on its places only in "Track" mode. In "ALL" mode they are in random order. Its a bug and impossible to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Mix view. I'm not sure what that is. Or perhaps you simply mean the Mixer? In any case there's no bug, nothing random about it. In Tracks mode the channel strip order follows the track order in the Tracks area. In All mode the Core Audio channel numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks, David. Any way to change core audio channel numbers? Each channel strip is assigned a core audio channel, you can change those in the MIDI Environment's inspector however keep in mind all adjustments (plug-ins, channel strip settings etc...) are core audio channel dependent (not channel strip dependent).

StratosBlu Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Why would Logic ever think that doing something like this should require anything other than simply dragging a track to its desired destination anyways? 100% with Lucas here. Can't think of a good reason why this can't/isn't happening. I've seen this question/request for years. It's this simple in the Main Window. Manipulate the order from another window? Seems like an antiquated technique. PLEASE Logic, address this, help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRad Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I'm trying to follow this...Could you outline the steps to reorder the mixer channels. I've moved them in the main page, no go. In the dreaded Environment window, you can just drag them around. . how nice...select and move... no hoops to jump through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
