Now that we have the ability to colour our tracks....  is there standard for what track colours should be?
Ie.  Bass, guitar, drums etc.
 
The reason why I ask is that it would be easy to recognise any sonar Project and find Your way around if sharing via Gobbler.
I would also like to get into a routine of colouring my tracks and learn to stick With those colours.
Suggestions please.
 
Thanks

I would go with dull grey everywhere, or those without X3 won't be able to understand your colour scheme anyway. ;)

I'd stick with a personal routine. Definitely useful to do the same across projects but I don't think you'd get others to agree on a standard.

Hey Gary,
 
I was wondering the same thing last night as I was playing with colors in X3. Probably not a standard through out the community, but curious what others are using.
 
Anyone care to share?
 
 

Electric guitars are definitely red.

It's totally a personal thing but for me it's very useful to stick to a regime so you can go quickly to the right tracks(s).
I've always coloured my tracks and clips:
 
(B=background, F=foreground)
Drums and percussion - B red F white
Bass - B browns F yellow
Keyboards - B blues F white
Synths - B purples F white
Strings - B greens F dark blue 
Brass - B yellows F dark blue
Vocals - B grey F purple
Rhythm guitars - B light pinks F blue
Lead guitars - B vibrant pinks F blue
 
Oh, and I usually sort them top to bottom:
- Drums
- Percussion
- Bass
- Keyboards
- Synths
- Guitars
- Strings
- Brass
- Vocals
 
I put all MIDI tracks in a MIDI folder, audio in an Audio folder and mixes in a Mixes folder.
 

Thanks Skyline_UK. Some of us have a reference now.

(B=background, F=foreground)

I personally don't use background colors to distinguish tracks/instruments (at least when I'm in the songwriting stage) because I use tons of linked clips in the project and want to give each linked clip group its own background color (so that I don't have to use Select All Siblings to know which group the clip belongs to).

Thanks skyline_uk
I will take a look at those.
