I downloaded a generic one from the Alesis site but ended up making my own by copying a picture of my mixer out of the manual and white-ing out the interior of the knobs. Alls I have to do is write in the value of the controls there and I added a spot on the sheet for making notes. It works well for me.

I currently use a plain sheet of paper. It's a big pain in the ass. Several times I've though about something better...but then I'm soooooo lazy.
Lemme know what you come up with ametth. I like Track Rat's idear of using pictures of his equipment.

Every studio that I record at I grab a bunch and photo copy them. They are the tipical kind you see in most studios.
If you want some I'll send you in the mail.

Yea. If you don't wash your sheets, they'll eventually crack.

Insane Genious!
Track sheets are papers where you write up what is on each track and your settings of the filters and shtuff.
I never use them, since I tend to finish one song at a time, mostly. And hey, 8 channels is not that much to keep in your head. I guess they are REALLY good when you work in big studios where you switch projects all the time.
What I DO use, is sheets where I mark up what is connected where in the patch bay.
I'm currently using Excel to make one that looks better than the hand-drawn. When I'm done I can put it up for fetching if somebody wants to.

TRACK SHEETS: are sheets used to keep a record of where the song is ( locate time on tape, or directory on HD) what tapes, client, which instrument is on which track, and various other notes.
RECALL SHEETS: are used to recall the settings of either the console or pieces of outboard gear. they are usually a graphic representation of the piece of gear. (or channel strip in the case of a console)
some studios actually take polaroids of the console so they can recall the settings by sight, not an approximated pencil line. but to me this sounds a little cheesy. of course with digital consoles ( or analog boards with "recall" programs) this is rendered obsolete.
