Tracks VS Instruments

Hey Brothers,

Still a little confused. I know track 1 is always the kit but do I need a track for every single instrument?

Example: track 2 Rhodes, track 3 lead synth, track 4 pads, etc? If this is the case, should I name my tracks corresponding to the instruments?

You can leave all your instruments on one track but why ? I like to separate my instruments and name the tracks. That's for having order, thats9how l work

That's what's confusing about this workflow my Brother. Why have multiple tracks if you can add 15 instruments on one track

Yup, I guess it wouldn't matter for a MIDI track because you can explode the sounds later and tweak to a perfection if you want. An audio track however, is permanent and sounds cannot be exploded but eternally locked in a single track. So if you go the audio route, remember to tweak the samples before recording.

Putting it on different tracks for organization purposes, and when you export to drag and drop your individual tracks into your favorite DAW it will be easy instead of some long arse track LOL

It's not that confusing, find your method and stick to it.
