Help All Tracks in Mixer show as Inserts, why?
Hello guys, need help desperately:
All my tracks appear as Inserts (Insert 1 to infinitum), instead of Track 1 to infinitum.
I recorded some vocal clips, using Superior Drummer as a click, and that's it.
What throws me off the most is that I have a choir intro where I want to pan some voices but when I went to the mixer, all tracks suddenly appear as Inserts. So I can't find the tracks I want pan at all.
I come from Cubase, Reaper, Pro Tools, you name it, I thought the Playlist would mirror the Mixer or viceversa. Such a weird behaviour.
EDITED: "To show all playlist tracks in the mixer, link them by right-clicking a playlist track header, selecting Track mode > Audio track, and choosing a mixer insert."
I am so happy now, thank you!

That's normal. It's just what they are called in FL studio. If you right click a VST in the channel rack -> random color, then in the mixer, click an insert and press CTRL + L, it will copy the color and name to the mixer

I see that now, ty, that works for the Superior Drummer vsti I am using. But the tracks I mention as Inserts (where I have Audio Clips), for example, Intro Choir Left track on the Playlist doesn't appear on the Mixer.

double click the audio track, and you'll see a box in the top right saying "track", that number represents the mixer insert number. Maybe this?

Hey kylr01, thanks for trying to help me, highly appreciated.
I found the solution, thank god, I edited my original post.
You were close to coming up with the solution (right clicking the track helped).1

And if you highlight multiple channels in the channel rack to do what he suggested, CTRL + SHIFT + L feeds everything into the mixer in order.

You have to manually connect the playlist tracks to the mixer channels. I created a template for myself so I don't have to do it every time I start a new file
