Working on getting the Create Headphone send BC to work... and running into a couple issues.
Once it goes through it's script, I'd like it to restore the previous tracks PLUS the new headphone AUX it just created. Not sure how to accomplish that. If I use Show All Tracks, that brings up everything that's Inactive too. But, then if I use Hide Inactive, the Master Fader goes away. I guess the easy fix would be to make Hide Inactive not think Master Faders are inactive.
Second, for that Headphone Send to function correctly in a session, all those track Sends need to be set to Pre Fader... the whole point to to send the talent a mix that's different than what I'm hearing in the control room. There's no Click for that button on the Send window that I can find. I think you can set a PT Pref for those to always come up Pre Fader, but except for this function i rarely want sends Pre Fader. Either way, a QL to set Pre Fader off or on would be lovely.
Third, I can't find a way to clear Send A on a selected track without the mouse. Even better would be Clear Send A (B-E individually too) on all selected tracks.
Other suggestions:
Be able to separate the transport buttons (or add FF and RW QLs). For mixing I don't need a Record button, but I don't like how much vertical real estate the full transport eats up in a Rack.
Button palettes that lets you choose and assign BCs to buttons like the Save Pro Tools or Show Comments, or the smaller size like the Layout buttons. And also be able to move them around outside BC Panels.
Be able to reorder the tracks in the Mix window. Maybe by grabbing the little Raven icon near the bottom of the fader?
Overall, loving my MTi.

Is there a QL to open a selected plug-in? Or Open Last Plug-in? I'm making a BC to insert VMR on insert C, but can't figure out how to get the plug in to open automatically like it does in the Focus Select Tracks Add Default EQ Insert B.

That doesn't seem to work... Here's what it looks like when I want it to open that AutoTune plug with the white box around it...

it would be something like this.. close the plugin before restoring fader focus, then open the plugin back up after with CNTRL CMND OPT W.

Ok cool, thanks... I'll give it a try.
Any ideas for making those Headphone Sends Pre Fader with BC (from my first post above)?

Either way, a QL to set Pre Fader off or on would be lovely. Great idea about the pre fader, I just made a couple "pre fader" QL items for the next Update along with an updated HP mix BC that makes it pre fader to. It seems "option Clicking" pre fader on an open aux sets all the sends on that inserts to "Pre". I also added some stuff to make sure that it copies the mix to "All Sends". Hopefully PT12 gets the cursor bug fixed soon, since this will only work in PT11HD right now..
Here is one to set up a whole band mix. Third, I can't find a way to clear Send A on a selected track without the mouse. Even better would be Clear Send A (B-E individually too) on all selected tracks. "Clear insert F" Should also clear "Send A" on an MTi since it only shows 10 total inserts.

Yeah, I thought that was weird when the master fader left. Saw it again today too... I'll double check it tomorrow. Good tip on Clear Insert F for MTi. When might we see that next update? Thanks for the help... Starting to get my head around it. Did my first real mix on it today... And as I figured would happen, probably need to rethink my new layouts. Heh. After 20 years on a multi button mouse for tool switching, I'm feeling really slow for editing, zooming, and general session navigation. Multi tool makes me crazy. Ha!

Another suggestion for the next QL list:
Add Custom Plugin to NEXT INSERT RACK
Also, ADD FAVORITE PLUG 10 to NEXT INSERT RACK doesn't work... it gives me fav plug #2.
