Logic Express Question Options

[claricussion66]

Hi, I realize this may sound like a dumb question, but I am just starting out with logic express. I am having a problem when creating new tracks. From the arrange window, every time I select track > create, a new track is created, but it is in the same track as the previous track in the track list, and if I try to change it from track 1 to track 2 for example, the previous track is also changed to track 2. I was reading in one of the help files about track > create with next instrument, but I dont have that option when I click the track drop down menu. The only way that I have figured out so far to get around this problem is to open the track mixer and double click on an unused track to create it. How can I create a new track from the arrange window that will actually come up as a new audio track and not be linked to the previous track?

I think that's happening because they are both on the same channel. After you've created the new track, you need to choose a channel as well as a new instrument.
