Stop fader banks from following track focus?

[trustyjim]

I have noticed after upgrading from 7.1 HD to 8.0 HD on my Command 8 that merely clicking on a track or plugin causes the fader bank to change focus to it.

This is super annoying!!! The worst part is I can no longer use the the "Bank" button on the Command 8 to move the banks left or right. It will move for a split-second then revert back to the bank that holds the currently focused track.

The old (and desired) behaviour for me is to only have the banks move if I use the "Bank" button on the control surface or if I right click on a track and select "Scroll into view".

Does anybody know how to go back to the old behaviour?

I want my Command 8 to stop moving it's banks unless I tell it to!

Hi trustyjim and welcome to the DUC.
Please follow the guidelines in the 'Help us help you' link below. You're much more likely to get a helpful response if you provide computer specs, OS and Pro Tools version, etc.

Cheers,

Sorry, I didn't see the link earlier...

Here are my specs:
Pentium 4 3.6Ghz single core.
Windows XP Home Edition SP3
Command 8 and Axiom Pro 25 controllers
Pro Tools HD1 8.0.3 (running on a PCI card)
2GB RAM

Hopefully this helps. I basically noticed the change in banking behaviour when I upgraded from Pro Tools HD 7.1 to 8.0, so I assumed maybe it is an option somewhere that I can turn off? I have looked everywhere in the settings menu and can't find anything that helps.

Thanks again!
Jim

Command 8 and Axiom Pro 25 controllers

In the Peripherals>MIDI Controllers window, how do you have the Command|8 and Axiom Pro configured?

I have the same problem as trustyjim since I've added Axiom Pro 25 in my setup.

type---------------receive from:----------send to:-----------------#ch's

Command 8------Cmnd8,prt1-------------Cmnd8,prt1-------------8

MAdKybr---------AxmP25HCI-------------AxP25HCO---------------8

Do I need to change Axiom's channel to any other or what?

You know, the behaviour might have started for me too when I added the Axiom Pro 25. I added it about the same time I upgraded to Pro Tools 8.

Here are my settings under MIDI controllers:

Type:
Command8
M-Audio Keyboard

Receive From:
USB Audio Device
Axiom Pro 25 HyperControl In

Send To:
USB Audio Device [Emulated]
Axiom Pro 25 HyperControl Out

# Ch's

8


The problem is that the Command 8 banks ALWAYS scroll to the track that is currently selected (i.e. when left clicking a track on my PC). I would like the old behaviour to return where you have to right click and select "Scroll into view" to get Command 8 banks to adjust.

Well guys - I have some bad news. Per the Command|8 Guide, I think this covers the problems you're seeing:

• Command|8 must be the only MIDI control
surface enabled within Pro Tools. It cannot be
used in combination with other MIDI control
surfaces.

We were able to reproduce what you're seeing and could not find a workaround.

I'm in discussions with program management about possible integration of these units in future versions of Pro Tools, but that's about all I can say on the matter at this time.

Yes, thanks for looking into it. Hopefully they can include some kind of support or workaround in a future Pro Tools version.

Thanks again!
