Pro Tools create tracks, name, and group

    Hello SoundFlow users,

    I'm just getting my feet wet with the platform and trying to write some basic macros for tasks I perform a lot in Pro Tools. Often I need to create a DI track and an Amp track for an instrument (electric bass, for example), name and group those tracks, and set the inputs and outputs.

    Can someone suggest the actions that would help me do this?

    • Create two new mono tracks, and have a dialog box ask for the name. (ex. E Bass)
    • Rename the tracks, appending "... DI.01" and "... Amp.01" (ex. E Bass DI.01 and E Bass Amp.01)
    • Create an Edit group with these two tracks, same name - ex. E Bass EDIT
    • Change the inputs and outputs of these two tracks

    I'm pretty green at all this, so thanks for your help and patience!
