Change track colours in GarageBand on Mac
By default, each track type (audio, software instrument, Drummer) has a standard colour, which makes it easy to visually distinguish track types in a project. You can assign different colours to individual tracks, to help visually distinguish tracks with different parts or using different instruments. For example, you could make audio tracks with vocal recordings a different colour than instrumental audio tracks.
Assign colours to tracks
GarageBand on Mac, select the track, then choose Track > Assign Track Colour (or press Option-C).
The Colour palette opens.
Select the track colour in the Colour palette.
Thanks for your feedback.
