you have created some track templates, the templates will appear as additional choices in the “Channel Configuration” menu.

Mixbus also allows the creation of busses which may be used to combine tracks together into groups for further pro- cessing or utilitarian tasks such as headphone cue feeds. Busses do not have the processing or delay compensa- tion features of the Harrison Mix Bus Channels. In general, the built-in Mixbus summing engine is sufficient for most bussing needs. But if your project is large enough to need additional bussing, they are available here.

The “Tape” track mode creates tracks which may not be edited, and in which the underlying file is overwritten with new data when recorded into (i.e. destructive recording).
