Yep! I don't think they'll ever get it right. Composers are not high on their priority list.

I'm curious, what are you recording that you need more than 32 inputs?

My workaround right now is to select and show only selected tracks, then add the send to all visible (option while adding send), then show all tracks again, but that's not efficient.

You can already do this-

select all tracks you want to add the new send too, then hold shift+opt before you click in the send/plugin/ouput box. Once you make the assignment it will add it to all selected tracks.

Shift+opt in PT equals "do to all selected". Works for mutes, solos, IO, sends, buss assignments, plugins etc.

If you ACTUALLY NEED 32 inputs why did you buy PT NAtive anyway? didnt you read? or do any research? good lord if i had sessions needing to record MORE than 32 inputs at once Id be WAYYY ahead of the curve instead of whining about something i should known about before buying......would you buy a 16 track tapemachine and then whine to Studer that it couldnt record 24 tracks??? no one ever promised you anything more than what you bought

[capt kirk]

you should call SSL and whine that the G series you bought can only use 32 busses at once, and cant be upgraded.....

Reading the last few comments, I think you're all missing an important point here. Maybe you won't be recording 32 tracks at the same time, but the thing is you just won't get access to physical input number #33, and above, which you may need. There's no way. This is a very realistic situation, e.g with ADAT capable interfaces where the total number of inputs can easily exceed 32.

actually that is my issue with the 32 I/O limit. I wish they could set it to up to 32 not just the first 32.... still not enough for me to really find the energy to whine about it like the world of DAW's in Avid land is collapsing. the reality is although I'd love to have the ability...... but would in all reality very rarely if ever need it. unless I get into the business of recording orchestra's

And after reading Al Schmitt on the record i now know far fewer that 32 inputs are needed to record an 84 piece orchestra with choir! No one likes to have arbitrary limits handed to them, so even if they aren't needed, it's a very human knee jerk reaction to object to it. Reality is that with very little planning, limited inputs should not be a tragedy. My opinion on what is lacking: i would agree with the comment about the Midi+Audio workflow that Studio Vision Pro had created before they were shut down, and i'm actually kind of surprised that Gibson never sold the rights to the software/coding to someone, especially since they never used it for anything. I would like also to see AVID updating their hardware/interface paradigm to take advantage of modern data transfer codecs and lastly, i would like to see some sort of open dialog between Avid and both controller builders and Plugin dev's to allow for some sort of universal code to make using plugins less mousing and more control surface friendly.

Hear Hear !!!

The plugins on Raven MTi2’s are not great! Some devs have done a good job like Slate Digital of course but many plugin developers are a long way behind and it is pretty hard to make adjustments to some plugins from touch screens.
