Missing Insert Slots On Track From Apts Logic Book, Logic Pro 7.2.3, missing insert slots in tutorial song Options

[alexbutterfield]

This week I got Logic Pro 7.2 after working with Logic Express 7.1 for a year. I updated Pro to 7.2.3 after installing.

I wanted to start going through Martin Sitter's Apple Pro Training guide to Logic Pro & Logic Express to reacquaint myself (it's been a number of months since I used Logic Express). So I re-loaded the tutorial songs from the accompanying disc onto my external hard drive like I had previously with Logic Express. (I wanted to load them fresh rather than use files I might have altered when learning Logic Express.)

But when I went to do the using the inserts/plugins exercise from the first chapter I found that the tutorial song wasn't showing the inserts (or bus slots, for that matter) for two tracks, including the one Sitter suggests inserting a chorus on (a Rhodes). Other tracks do show those slots. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get these slots to show up. The problem is the same whether I'm in the arrange or mix window.

My set-up: iMac G5, 1.8 gHz, OS 10.4.8, Mbox 2

Anybody encounter this before? Any suggestions on restoring lost insert/bus/EQ slots?

Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a feature to save screen real estate. Load a plug in the lowest slot, and another slot should appear.

There are NO slots to load a plugin into--none--nor are there any bus slots visible in the channel strip of the track. I've looked under all the View menus without finding anything to restore the slots. Other tracks show insert slots but not this one.
