Poll Selected Tracks and populate them on Stream Deck
Hello!
I would like to have Pro Tools track names appear on my Stream Deck XL so I can select the track by clicking on its name on the deck. I'm using this for cueing Foley and ADR. A lot of times I have to make a selection in the picture cuts track, then I want to select the character track and create the region there.
So it would be very helpful to take a bunch of tracks and make them appear on the deck with the sole purpose of selecting them on a button press. It would be extra great if somehow SoundFlow could "poll" the tracks I have selected and auto-populate the deck, so I wouldn't have to make separate "Select Track CHARACTER" and so on.
I suppose this would be similar to Track Control package without solo/mute/or record functionality? Thank you!

Hey Steve,
Unfortunately what you're asking for is Dynamic Decks which are currently unsupported for non-developers. I've however explored most of the static options for this and tend to build a new ADR deck every time I have a new show. Here's an example of a retired one.
What I tend to do with 'GUEST' Characters is not give them a button, the EdiCue Icon in this case searches your tracks so you can navigate to guest characters. Anyways check out my package in the store
It may help streamline the other aspects of the cuing process even though we can't get dyanmic deck buttons going. If and when this becomes accessible I'll certainly upgrade a number of packages to make use of it.- SSteve Schatz @Steve_Schatz
Thanks Owen, I'll give this a try. Do you have any video tutorial on this package, it would really help!

Hey Steve, I do not, but I can jump on zoom sometime with you and walk you through it if you'd like. I find that works much better then a universal walkthrough with other supervisor friends I've helped out with it.

@Owen_Granich_Young That would be awesome Owen.
What's your availability these days? We can lock something down for next week if that works for you.
Thanks!- OOwen Granich-Young @Owen_Granich_Young
