Scripts/macros will be a better solution. They'll be able to count tracks. Bryan

So, VoiceOver will not assign a custom label for controls like record buttons automatically, based on track name. This is, of course, how it should be. However, if one wanted to specifically rename a particular record button on a particular track to be named something specific, one could do that. Of course, this would have to be done for every button in every track if one wanted to rename each button. Ultimately, the database for VoiceOver would grow and well, that wouldn't be very clever. Anyway, Hope that makes it clearer. And if that's not clear enough, Control-Option-slash is your friend and experimentation is fun and informative. :) Slau On Jul 10, 2010, at 3:04 PM, Chuck Reichel wrote: > Hi Slau, > That is extremely cool!
