Re: Renaming a track, editing busses and my project mix
Say for example there's only 1 high impedance input for guitars on your control surface, then it could be beneficial to use the same input on 3 tracks, especially if the cables to the musical equipment just like in my case are a bit, shall we say crackly and you don't want to change inputs too often for fear of cables going snap, crackle and pop. I could buy new cables, you say, and i will probably do it at a later stage, but right now i won't.

Re: Renaming a track, editing busses and my project mix
Yeah thats one example. You record a rhythm track, then you can unarm it arm a second track set the input to the same as the previous track and be off and running with the second guitar track with out having to unplug the guitar and plug it into another input physically on your interface. or in the case wher the Hi-Z is only on one input.

Re: Renaming a track, editing busses and my project mix
As for renaming a track, I typically do this from the edit window right after creating the track. interact with the track list table, and find the created track. Press voice over shift m, and r for rename, you may then need to press enter and you can type a name in for the track.

Re: Renaming a track, editing busses and my project mix
Hi, i have indeed a sub menu for the interface. In the interface submenu there's built-in mic and built-in input, nothing more. Should there be anything else there, and how do i get it in there? I have done as suggested yesterday and put in under setupperipherals the Projectmix and it's set to 8 channels, the only thing available. I tried to go in under the I/O settings and see what was there, but that dialog only confused me so i let it be. I also tried the hardware settings and was informed that the hardware settings were handled by the project mix app which was totally inaccessible. That's what i've done so far. /Krister 21 aug 2013 kl. 16:41 skrev matt diemert mcdiem...@gmail.com: As for renaming a track, I typically do this from the edit window right after creating the track. interact with the track list table, and find the created track.

After selecting the the audio interface in play back engine, you then on the individual tracks in the input area under interface, select which inputs you want pro tools to pull audio that will be recorded on that track from. The Perripherals settings under the set up menu is specific to geting pro tools to see the project mix as acontrol surface and that section has nothing to do with passing audio through the project mix into protools. The Project Mix is two seperate devices (a control surface, and an audio interface) though they are in one box. So you still have to set them up the way you would if you had a seperate control surface and audio interface. Let us know if you need an explanation of what the difference between control surface and audio interface are. Hope i didn't overwhelm with too much info.

Re: Renaming a track, editing busses and my project mix
Hmm, let's see, the name is Projectmix and yes i press ok after selecting it. At first it wouldn't want to work, but now i have my inputs back named 1 in, 2 in and so on. So all is fine there now i think... That is, if the Project mix has 10 inputs. And another question that i ranted about in an earlier thread, can i use one input for several tracks? /Krister 21 aug 2013 kl. 21:35 skrev Monkey Pusher monkeypushe...@gmail.com: What exactly is the name of the option you are selecting in the playback engine?

Re: Renaming a track, editing busses and my project mix
Yes you can select input one on tracks one two and three for example. and record the same source onto those tracks. The question is... why would you want to?
