Macro folder with tools to AB (plugin bypass)

Post by ~ufo~ » 05 Jan 2017 12:08

Hi everyone.
I made a macro folder and a few macros to make it easy to AB by bypassing all plugins or only types of plugins.

Make sure you have the channels/tracks selected when you use these.
There's no way of bypassing ALL plugins without selecting al, as far as I know.
Also, be careful with these. If you select the tracks in the DTouch mixer, by the way DTouch works your selection will be ADDED to anything that was already selected, so these macros will affect those tracks/channels too. You may accidentally bypass something you don't want to.
Anyway, let me know if they were helpful. I have the folder in a slot in my mixer view right now, and used them on a mix today. Quite handy!

You're welcome!

It's easy to add to them if you want.
Just open the macro editor, duplicate one of them, rename it and edit the keyboard shortcut or user code part.
Replace it with the shortcut you need and save it. Then add it to another button in the macro folder.

I just quickly made these, they seemed the most handy for MY workflow.
I also put a few of the stock DTouch macros in to see if I would fine those handy.

They certainly will be handy, although I've just about completely migrated away from Pro Tools these days & moved to Cubase/S1. Pro Tools just gets used for client compatibility & surround/ADR jobs now.

I'm starting to toy around with Studio One myself.
Don't see myself moving away definitely yet, but I'll start some songwriting projects in Studio One and see how we get on.
