I have a CD project that I'm recording for a singer.  All of the individual songs (projects) have the voice track as Track 1, except one that is on Track 7.  How do I move the Track 7 Voice to Track 1?    I've moved tracks on earlier versions (mostly by mistake) but can't figure out how to do it in X2.

Click and drag the small track icon in the track header. Drag up or down to move the track in the list.

Hover your mouse over the right side of the track header and when it turns into a double-headed arrow, click and drag it up or down. 

EDIT: Using the track icon is even better. Thanks, Scott.

How do you move a track in the console view?

Console view... hold down the ALT key on your PC keyboard. Then click and drag (left or right) on the background of a module to move it.

Thanks, Scott.  I've been through all the Sonar documentation I have and couldn't find that anywhere.

I got the track back in position with the others.  I had problems with a Take Lane and the original vocal track (on Track #1) got corrupted somehow and I had to insert a new audio track and import a saved vocal track to get the vocal back.  I tried deleting the existing in Track 1 and importing the vocal track to Track 1 but it still was messed up (it showed the audio waveform but nothing would play).
