Thanks Mount Royal and damazurek, that simplified things, not quite what I was looking for, but way better than what I've been doing, I can see where it helps those OTB more so than ITB. I will incorporate this into my workflow nonetheless. I have been in other DAWs since 7, using PT for mixing only, but trying to get back into the swing of things, didn't know that they added this (its in the 7.2 "whats new" - i've been looking at the 7.4 "whats new"). Once again, thanks for the responses...
