I'll just clump all I put in the announcement thread here, then leave the field open to others for theirs.
Where there are counter arguments, I'll try my best to summarise them (I hope nobody minds..?).
1) Also allow the user to decide beforehand where to put them. See the Clone Tracks dialog.
Some possibilities that come to mind:
"Insert Above / Insert Below Current Track"
"Top / Bottom of current folder"
"As First / As Last track in project"
2) Option "Midi Only" - add tooltop for new user to clarify this means an external synth.

You may also just want to create a midi track as part of setting something up. I think "MIDI Only" should be the default 'Instrument'. That way it won't be hidden and removes the odd reference to TTS-1.

it could be driving a MIDI-aware signal processor, or someone might want to add several MIDI-only tracks to drive a multi-timbral instrument.
3) Head off new user misunderstanding by using either Echo or Monitor (just one name), for the same thing.
Paul P said:
Maybe what the
user wants is to monitor the input, but for that to happen the
track has to echo its input.
4a) Light the Record button in the same red as the other record buttons.
4b) Light the Input Monitor button the same blue as the Input Echo button.
I considered breaking them up into one thread per item to make individual voting possible, but I'm not sure the moderators would appreciate that.
