Bus Interrogation
Pro Tools 10 lets you select or show tracks based
on the track input or output assignment, send
assignment, or hardware insert assignment.
This can be useful for quickly identifying all
tracks that use a specific input, internal bus,
output bus, or hardware insert.
Right-click the assignment selector and choose
from the following options:
Select Assignments To This option selects all
tracks that use a specific input, internal bus,
output bus, or hardware insert.
Show Assignments To This option shows all
tracks, including hidden tracks, that use a spe-
cific input, internal bus, output bus, or hard-
ware insert. All other tracks remain shown as
well.
Show Only Assignments To This option shows
only those tracks that use a specific input, inter-
nal bus, output bus, or hardware insert. All
other tracks are automatically hidden.
Restore Previously Shown Tracks This option
restores the previous state of shown and hidden
tracks. This option is only available if tracks
have been hidden by using the
Show Only As-
signments To
