Question Inactive Inputs help please!

Hey Everybody
I'm guessing there is an easy answer to this that I am missing out, however, as I am fairly new to PT I figured I would ask the pros since I'm not making any progress with this.

I have PT10 installed on my MacBook Pro. I record in my rehearsal space using a Presonus 10 channel interface. When I leave the rehearsal space and go home I usually don't have an interface so when I open the PT session I'm usually running direct out of my laptop's audio out. So I know PT automatically adjusts my i/o settings to make this happen.
When I return to the rehearsal space and connect my interface all of my inputs are greyed out and I have to go in and reassign them all again even though they already show the correct assignment in the greyed out portion. Is there a way to reassign them automatically or all at once. It kind of sucks having to reassign each input every time. Thanks for your help!

Hold the option key while changing one output and it will do it to all of them...

Hope that helps :)

Ahh yeah I do know about the option key. However, I was hoping to find a way so that the inputs go in ascending order (i.e. kick mic input 1, snare mic input 2 etc.). When I use the option key it seems to turn all of the tracks to the same input.

Ohhhh my bad I thought you meant outputs.... In that case hold option + command. That SHOULD put them in accending order :)

What you need to do is save two of the same sessions .
the first with all your i/o the way you want it . and another so that when you open it the i/o doesn't get lost . then just import everything into the first session with your i/o.
Or you could just duplicate your tracks and make them inactive for standalone use and use your duplicates instead. Drag any revised tracks onto the actual track . No remapping at all . Just make sure to set them as inactive

Thats how I would do it but there is probably is a better way.
