I've always made my own. It's easy, and you can customize them for your own needs.

Well, sonny, in the olden days of tape recording, it was always a good idea to write down what instrument was on what track of the tape. And you'd want to have it all on the same page so as it would be easy to read. So, you'd make up a track sheet that had spaces for all the tracks you had available to you, whether it be 2 or 4 or 8 or 16 or 24. A lot of times, you'd see a little grid of boxes, each one numbered, and each with enough space to write in such things as "BASS" or "LEAD VOX" or "SMPTE." Then, there'd be spaces to fill in all kinds of information, like, what mic was used, what processing, you know, that kind of thing. Some people said it was a lot of work, but other folk, they reckoned it was a good idea to keep track of everything that went on in the studio on that day.

Here's my old one - You're welcome to it...

http://www.massivemastering.com/special/AudiographicsTrackSheet.pdf

It's about 170k...

Laid out for 24 tracks - I added a "checkbox" section on the lower right for differences across individual songs - If you didn't change much between songs, but added a trumpet or something for this tune and a conga on that tune, you could write it down and check which tune it was in.

Obviously, if a lot changes, use one sheet per tune - If not, this was an easy way to keep half the session on one sheet.
 
Here's what I use for mixing on a 424. It's basically the same layout as the the machine itself, but it allows me to keep track of eq and levels, so that I can tweak things later. I just pencil in all the pot locations, and then can erase and change as needed.

I dunno if that helps or not. I need to do a better job of recording tracking and fx, tho. I did have to compress this file a bit to get it to fit, so it might not be so great. I could email a cleaner copy if anyone wants it.
