Re: all my track colors are the same
It sounds like they are grouped or all selected.
1) Check the groups by unfolding the left pane with a little arrow in bottom left of Edit Window. 2) Check that only one track is selected (yes, it is a little cumbersome) by holding Command on Mac and CTRL on Windows then clicking a track name to de-select one track. THEN you can single left click that de-selected track to only select THAT one. You'll notice the highlight disappear from the rest of the tracks if this was the issue. THEN, the colors should apply to only the selected track.

Re: all my track colors are the same
I have done this several times and it always reverts back to Group 1 with all tracks in it and all tracks highlighted. then group 2 with all tracks in and highlighted. etc
Im sitting at around 40 plus hrs sitting in front of this computer with problem after problem with this DAW. I had PT 9 on widows 7 without a hitch and the upgrade and its been a complete energy suck |

Re: all my track colors are the same
Im Hoping Someone can help me here
Its Not Just the color as the problem All Tracks are Highlighted at all times, So they are Grouped for some reason Have not been able to ungroup all tracks they all will be in the grouping section in the group page as; say Group 1 program will not let me pull all the tracks out. Cant move on without leaving 1 track in Group 1 after making a phantom useless group 1 all tracks are still highlighted and grouped going back to Group page, all tracks are in the grouping section as Group 2 now. I can pull all tracks out of Group 2 but once again cannot move on without leaving a track in Group 2 making another phantom useless group 2 But all tracks are still highlighted and now in the Grouping section as Group 3. Ive searched groups, Ive searched Properties for a clue. Another thing In the Groups page that may be important. When all the tracks are out of the Groups section and i highlight one track to transfer to the Group, All Tracks move to the Group side I presently have 3 Sessions with this issue all starting when I Imported Tracks into a session that is just a session to practice my drums too All tracks are highlighted all the time. So really color coding the tracks is the least of my problems here Last edited by dirtyktm; 02-22-2023 at 03:17 PM. Reason: more info |

Re: all my track colors are the same
Can you post some images of the highlights, selections of tracks, and the groups list in the bottom left, and the contents of any groups?
Also, go here: https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=300050 Follow the troubleshooting steps. Your problems maybe shouldn't be happening, and maybe the update or compatibility is an issue. Maybe you're on a bad PT version for your system. Because you have to provide such info about your setup to get proper help, I request you go to the link I posted above "Help Us Help You" at top of page in forum header. Do what is suggested, then come back with system details and pictures and we'll have clearer description.

Re: all my track colors are the same
Quote:
The not being able to un group is the issue Have tried holding down (I think the Alt key on Windows) (option key on mac) and click the track name Should toggle highlight off and on for all tracks If that does not work I am guessing something in the imported tracks was corrupted and is now a PT preference . You say you have three sessions with the same issue ? But do they have the imported tracks also ? Have you tried making a new blank session from scratch ? and see if the tracks are then not grouped ? Have you tried "Trashing Preferences" goggle trashing preferences in pro tools and you likely have the Sweetwater page come up just oprn it an follow the instructions for trashing preference

Re: all my track colors are the same
It's Ctrl+Click on the Track Name for Wiindows.
The OP probably has Link Track And Edit Selection turned on. From the Reference Manual: "Selecting Tracks when Making Edit Selections" Pro Tools lets you link Track selection with Edit selections. When Track and Edit selections are linked, you can make a selection within a track or across multiple tracks for editing and each associated track is selected (track names automatically highlight). To link Track and Edit selections: Select Options > Link Track and Edit Selection. Press Shift+T to toggle Link Track and Edit Selection on and off. And there's an Icon to toggle under the Smart Tool.

Re: all my track colors are the same
Bingo !! ( link Track and Edit selections: Select Options > Link Track and Edit Selection.)
Gotta say I don't understand the concept at all Says Link the Track and Edit and in practice I'm Unlinking them but that did the trick. I can individually highlight tracks and all tracks are not in a Group format now everything doesn't have to be off lime green but I do love the color. I thought it was some major malfunction but its all a lack of knowledge thanks for everyone's impute one more question - how do you guys get that line at the bottom of your post with your system on it Last edited by dirtyktm; 02-25-2023 at 11:20 AM.
