How to Create a MIDI Track in Protools SE

Pro Tools SE is a simplified version of Avid's flagship Pro Tools platform bundled with numerous audio interface and other home studio devices. It can record and edit audio and MIDI data on dedicated tracks. In order to record either type of data, the user must first create the corresponding track type. Once the user creates a MIDI track, he can load a compatible software instrument on that track and record its output.
