The whole function doesn´t seem to be very well programmed at all for some reason, or maybe I am making something wrong.

Strange, I thought PT would be able to handle such simple operations. Cubase have done it for years.


Two other similar silly things that bugs me are 1. why is there no one-finger shortcut to switch between mix and edit windows and 2. why do you have to manually disengage the group function every time you start up PT, to avoid having all sliders activated as soon as adjust any volumes. Mystifying...
  • Q1 - I am right, and PT simply has a different way of dealing with the show/hide status of tracks. Window configurations are not meant to deal with this.
  • Q2 - Track width in the mix window is saved with a WC. Show/hide status is not.
So, PT is able to handle such simple operations, but you aren't able to handle PT...yet. Take a peek in the manual, and read up on memory locations. They are meant for what you're trying to do, and you can also link them to a WC if you want.

Silly thing #1 - It doesn't bother me, but I guess you can make your own shortcut in your OS, or with a macro program.

Silly thing #2 - This doesn't sound right at all. Are you sure the session is saved and closed with the "All" group off?
