OK, thanks a lot for the tips. I think I got it straightened out now. The
only hitch seems to be that I can't solo a single track from the track list
table, but it does work from my control surface.
This is all really starting to work for me, if only we could get better
access to the midi stuff. Can we define Reaper to act as an external midi
editor in PT?

Hey Gord,
Well, what you'd normally do is solo safe your aux input tracks. In other
words, Command-click the solo buttons on all of your effects tracks. That
way, if you solo a track, it's corresponding effects will still sound. Of
course, if you have reverbs and delays on vocals, for example, and you want
to temporarily disable the delay, you'd then just mute the aux track hosting
the delay plug-in.
Most people solo safe all of their aux tracks so that they always pass
through whatever they're meant to. For example, one might route all drum
tracks to a stereo bus feeding an aux input. If the aux input isn't solo
safe, soloing the kick drum would mute the drum aux and you wouldn't hear
anything. With all aux tracks in solo safe mode, everything comes through as
you'd expect.

I noticed that unlike Sonar, if I solo a track that has a send assigned to
a bus with let's say a reverb on it, it doesn't automatically solo the
send as well. I know we can group all the vocal tracks let's say together
and their associated sends, but what if I just want to solo one of them by
itself. Also, the dim solo mode that sonar has is very handy. Is there
something like that here or do I actually have to have all the other
tracks assigned to a cue bus or something. I guess this is where you
would load different i/o settings for a particular purpose.

Steve,
1. To add multiple files to their own tracks in Pro Tools, use the Import
Audio command and navigate to the first file you wish to add.
Press Return (not Enter) and then navigate to each file you wish to add,
pressing Return for each of them.
When you're done, press the Done button and you'll be prompted to choose
the folder into which you'd like to import the files. By default, it's the
session's Audio Files folder. Assuming that's you're choice (and it should
be), just press Return.
The final dialog will ask if you wish to import into the Regions list or
into new tracks. Select the proper radio button for your task.
HTH,

Ok once again not sure if this is PT acting up due to me using
version 9.05 with lion or if i am doing something wrong. First
question, Is there a way to A) select multiple files and add them to
a project at once each on their own track using the import audio
dialogue? and B) select multiple tracks at once and change their
output to the same bus or Aux track using a keyboard only with VO?
Also is the shortcut for muting and soloing tracks different with VO
on t than whats printed in the short cut key list?
