Multiple inputs assigned to a track?
Hi,
Is it possible to assign multiple inputs to a track (audio or aux)? For example, you can assign multiple outputs of a track using control-click on the output. You see a little "+" sign indicating the output is assigned to say "Bus 1" and "Bus 16". I would like to be able to do the same for inputs. I know I can route different signals to different buses via an Aux track and route the output of each Aux track to the same Bus, then route that Bus to a track (basically summing all of the signals to mono). Thanks, Bob |

Re: Multiple inputs assigned to a track?
No. Because that is summing as you've figured out. And summing = mixer.
(Whereas sending to multiple outs is just routing; just like in the real world on a console)

Re: Multiple inputs assigned to a track?
Everything becomes much simpler after you think about it for a second

Re: Multiple inputs assigned to a track?
I did think for a few seconds, and I thought; I could of course make a aux for every input and then route everything multiple places, recording trax with multiple inputs, so this could be programmed to happen behind the scenes, no?

It is so fundamental that you have multiple inputs then mixer then one or more outputs. Why complicate things too much? Of course in the analog world you can create y-cable to sum two mono signals together and have it on single console track, but PT session might have funny combination of greater than stereo tracks and this proposed "pseudo summing" should work everywhere if it was implemented. I bet it is never going to happen. Not gonna eat a hat if it does, but I'm just shaking my head here... where's the facepalm emoji?

Not trying to complicate. Just pointing out, playing with, the thoretical idea of this particular question. I don''t know why you woud need the function.
