Default Re: Pro tools 12.8 or 12.9 . . .

Simon2065,

This!!! I've been struggling to get to grips with comp'ing using playlists, and having major issues.

Need to be able to quickly select different sections in different playlists and then all selections are heard/compiled automatically. No need to manually "Copy Selection to Main Playlist" = Clunky.
Totally correct! I would desperately love to see this implemented. I have an ongoing discussion with an Avid engineer about losing our "Mute Frees Assigned Voices" (ie: manual voice assignment) workflows since TDM passed into history. I'm still on TDM and PT10HD, and I use this kind of manually assigned "Voice Stealing" method, to comp exactly as you've described. It's just not possible to recreate this kind of simple(r) workflow using Playlists. I have a friend who's good with PT and Cubase, and every time I raise this with him, he says Cubase does it well.

If you're interested in the starting point of my conversation with the Avid chap, this thread from Post #3 onwards:
