Incoming Tracks

Your Track Todo List

Lexicon has a special page called Incoming, it can have any number of tracks in it and you can do all your prep work on it like the normal Lexicon track browser. The difference is that tracks have to be marked as "incoming tracks" before you see them here. The incoming track list is your "track todo list". It's a practical place to keep tracks that you haven't cleaned, cue'd or tagged yet. Your incoming tracks are already part of your normal library so you can come back here whenever you feel like finishing your track todo list.

Marking Tracks As Incoming

There are a few ways to mark tracks as incoming so they appear on the Incoming page.

You can drag tracks directly from Finder or Explorer into your Incoming page.

The second way is through the Watch Folder. Lexicon keeps an eye on a folder of your choice (default: Music/Lexicon/Watch Folder) and will automatically import any track into Lexicon. These tracks appear in your normal track browser but also on the Incoming page. You can set up your Watch Folder in the settings on the Incoming page.

The last way to mark tracks as Incoming is manually. You can right-click one or more tracks and select Send to and then choose Incoming. This way is especially useful for tracks you already had in your library to get them back on your track todo list, for example to prep them again or automatically move and rename them (more on that in the next chapter).

Marking Tracks Done

Incoming tracks stay on your Incoming page until you mark them as "done". When you click this button, the tracks are removed from your Incoming page (but not your library). This essentially tells Lexicon you're done prepping this track and it can be removed from your track todo list. You can still edit the track in the normal track browser.

The other important thing that marking a track as done does, is that it initiates the file moving and renaming procedure if it is enabled. See the next chapter for more on that.
