Tracked Out, Trouble with added audio tracks Options

[nukemduke]

Hello Everyone,

Maybe you can help me solve this mystery. I've been working with Logic now for... three months. It was really difficult at first but with the help of the Apple Pro Training Series by Peach Pit, things got easier... until now.

I'll give you the book context for anyone who may have it. I'm in Lesson 5, Working with Apple Loops. Right before they have you explore the loop browser, they instruct you to add tracks (individually and multiple) on page 215. So I do. Logic add the tracks no problem. However, after I assign the new tracks to the next audio channel, Logic removes everything in the channel strip!! There are no Ins/outs, no sends, no inserts, no pan, no fader, no mute, no solo, no mono/stereo, and no record. This really takes the fun out of working with logic.

I've been messing with it for hours now and I can't figure it out. Does anyone out there know how to fix these new audio tracks into working channels?
