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

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. As for the

TO rename tracks. Navigate to the tracklist table and interact with it. once in there you can use VO up and down arrows to navigate between tracks. VO+Shift+M will bring up a context menu for which rename will be an option on. Click on that to be able to rename the track. I wouldn't worry about

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

Hi and thanks for the precise instructions. Just to clarify things, ... umm how to phrase this question, what do the audio input selectors in the tracks do? I'm beginning to think i confuse things here. I thought i had to specifically tell Pro tools what input on the Project mix i was supposed

Hi, nope you didn't, however there's something missing here, either in my head or in Pro Tools's, when i set the track audio input path i only see the computer, even if the control surface is set as audio playback manager. No idea why this is. Everything else in the control surface seem to work

What exactly is the name of the option you are selecting in the playback engine? Are you selecting ok to close the dialogue box after selecting the project mix from the dropdown menu? Imideately after doing this when you look at a track it still only has the computers defaults under the

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
