Instrument Track¶
The instrument track is used for synths and other instruments. The first plugin in the strip of the instrument track’s channel must be an instrument plugin. This is done automatically when instrument tracks are created from instrument plugins.

You can use these for side-chaining.
Automation Tracks¶
These are similar to Automation Tracks.
Freezing¶
If DSP usage is high and you have performance issues, or if you just want to save CPU power, instrument tracks can be frozen (temporarily converted to audio), which dramatically lowers their CPU usage.
Instruments can be frozen by clicking the Freeze button in the track interface.
