I saved a template with a track defined for every input I had available from the board, then after the stage was set, I could hide the tracks I wasn't using for that act, and I could then activate all the tracks and start the recording quickly. ...but I quickly discovered that hiding the track doesn't help. The shft-ctrl-click enabled recording for all defined tracks, whether hidden or not. So when I was most in a time crunch, I used the mass enable to get the recording started, then during the second song when I was sure the board was reasonably stable and the performers happy with their monitors, so I could divert my attention, I stopped recording on all the unnecessary tracks to save space on the drive. -- Rick Green "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franklin "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." -President Barack Obama 20 Jan 2009
