Finally, for now, what's the quickest way to get to the track list? I'm often using vo i to bring up the items list and typing table to filter the list and selecting track list table, however if you've got a gazillion tracks in your session, it takes a while for the itme list to pop up. Any thoughts on that one? Thanks Gazza Chuck Reichel 954-742-0019 www.SoundPictureRecording.com Chuck Reichel 954-742-0019 www.SoundPictureRecording.com
Re: Confused about busses/ PT 9 Link about busses.
Thanks. There's a lot of good stuff up there. I guess the main concept I need to get used to is that the aux tracks you create are actually assigned to the available busses and act as a gateway to those busses, rather than interacting with them directly. In Sonar, you actuaslly create the output busses themselves as needed. I certainly am familiar with working with busses, sends, inserts, etc. Back in the day I had patch bays with over 200 patch points, I sure don't miss that.

Re: Confused about busses/ PT 9 Link about busses.
Hey Gordon, Just to clarify, every Pro Tools session has 128 stereo or 256 mono channels of busses which may or may not be used but are available for assignment. Further, an auxiliary track is technically known as an auxiliary input so it's source doesn't necessarily have to be a bus. You can have an aux input that gets its feed from your interface as well. Plus, of course, busses can feed busses. For example, you can have a bus for several soprano, alto, tenor and bass tracks and have all of those 4 aux tracks output to yet another bus for, say, an entire choir and put that on one fader. Of course, you probably already figured that from prior experience ;) Best, Slau On Aug 8, 2011, at 8:21 PM, Gordon Kent wrote: Thanks. There's a lot of good stuff up there.
