Duplicate Group: Unable to select ID
For my workflow, I like to assign meaningful Track Group letters to Vocals (v), Bass (b), Guitars (g), and so on.
When Duplicating a Track Group, this option suddenly isn't available anymore: Pro Tools selects a fixed letter, and all other choices are made unavailable, as they are greyed out. Note that the Duplicate dialog looks exactly like the Create dialog. In fact, it is a Create dialog with duplicate settings! Avid support does not appreciate my observation that it is completely illogical not to be able to select a letter of my choice, as is perfectly possible in the regular Create dialog. They say 'there is no preference for this' and 'since it is not mentioned in the manual, this is normal behavior.' Their final suggestion is to submit this as a Feature Request through Avid Link. Case closed. Well.. Now, to me this is an actual bug in the Create/Modify workflow for Track Groups. Unfortunately I have not found a way to change the Track Group letter after the fact either. Can it be done? Anyone else having this actual problem? P.S. Avid support also asked me to make a video clip of the problem!? No idea what this would add to the very clear screenshot and explanation I had given them in the first place, back on 05/03/2020! |

Re: Duplicate Group: Unable to select ID
It does seem strange that they removed the ability to change the letter after creating a group. If I recall correctly, it used to be possible. I guess everyone is following Apple's lead in "improving" things by feature attrition.

Re: Duplicate Group: Unable to select ID
Yes, I just tried again and I couldn't change the letter in any way. I hope they don't remove the option to record audio in a future update.
