Now going back to our main window we noticed that we don't see those colors here. Right-click assign channel strip color, I'll make that pink. So for example, if I click on the sunset kit track I right-click, I can say assign channel strip color and then the color palette pops up and I can make it yellow for example, let me do the same thing to the lead vocal right next to it. You can actually give each track a channel strip color. Now there's a way you can do this back in the mix window. Now another organizational method you can apply when you mix, is to color code your tracks. So I put all the background vocals together and there they are together here in the mix window, and the drum kit is now the leftmost channel strip in the mix window because it was the top track in our main window. You can see that this track order reflects the order of my main window.

And notice when I do this and then I pop back to the mix window. So for example, I'd put all the background vocals together. So it's usually nice when you mix to organize similar track types together. And for example, if I wanted the drums to go to the top of the main window, just click and hold on the track header and you can pull that up. So let me go back to the main window for a second. Now another thing you might want to do when you start mixing, is reorganize your tracks. And then I can turn on the other tracks one at a time. So if I want to see just instrument tracks option, click on that and all the other track types get turned off and I see just the instrument track.

You can also just option click on a track type you want to see.

So if I only want to see audio tracks, for example, I could turn off all these other track types. You can also filter the tracks you're seeing by type. So some of these are not showing out in the main window but if you want your mix window to reflect what's in the main window, you can click on the tracks button and then it updates to show those tracks. Now if I wanted to show all tracks even ones that aren't part of my main window, I can click all and I'd see a whole bunch more tracks including general midi tracks over here and even click tracks. And we know that because the tracks button is lit up at the top of the mix window. Now here reviewing all the tracks as they are listed out in the main window. We'll type command two to open the mix window. Let's get familiar with the mixer window. In this movie, We'll set ourselves up for completing the final mix of this song. When you're mixing your project organization is key.
