I thought I saw someone mention that V5 had a feature that you could save
track names as a default. Is their a way to do this or do you just save a template.

Hi Ron,
There are a couple of different ways to save track names as a default.
One option, as you mentioned, is to save the session as a template. Then later, when you are creating a NEW session, you can choose that template.
Another option is to use
Track Templates. This allows you to set up a track (or maybe multiple tracks*) which you can then add to any session. Depending on your needs, the "Live Band Tracks" preset in the New Track dialog might already solve your problem.
Finally, more advanced users can use Lua scripting to dramatically speed up your track setup. For example, try these steps:
1) click Window->Scripting
2) in the lower-left corner, choose Actions->Create Drum Tracks from the menu.
You'll see this:
scripting
This might look scary, but it's actually quite simple to edit. Just replace those drum names with the tracks you want to create.
Then click "Save" and rename your script, and you can launch it to create those tracks whenever you want to. When you get adventurous, there are plenty of examples to set the colors, add plugins, and assign to groups.
