New track naming

[kelsey]

Say I want to create 24 tracks. Currently they get auto named with the Track Name and a number starting at _ (0) and going through 23. Is there any way to have Pro Tools automatically name the tracks 1-24 instead of 0-23?

Batch Track Rename

Look it up in the manual

Thanks. I'm familiar with the batch track rename, but it's a waste of time when creating multiple sets of tracks like setting up a new post session.
My current workaround is to make 25 tracks and delete track 0, but it seems silly to not start naming with 1.

Yeah, that bugs me too. At least it's consistent?

Just checked.

Creating multiple new tracks always starts with 1 for me.
Nothing I do can get it to start with 0.

Really? The first track created doesn't end with no number, then the next track with 1?
Maybe it's because I use track presets to populate my starter template. I never create blank tracks cause I have routing, sends, group assignments, etc. that I need preserved.
For example, I have a Sync Edit track preset. When I create multiple tracks I get:
Sync Edit
Sync Edit 1
Sync Edit 2
Sync Edit 3
Etc.....

That means that if I create 24 tracks, the highest track number will be 23 cause the first track has no number. I tried creating the track preset as "Sync Edit 1" hoping it would count up from there, but it just adds new numbers on the end.

I normally try and create a new playlist for the first take of recording so it is named 1 and the second take 2 etc. I normally reserve the "0" track for the comped and edited take.
