Hi! First I'm sorry for this very simple question, I'm a noob.
I'm running an action 'Select Track Output (Search)' to set the output for selected tracks to a particular output. All good till here.
The point is, once this action is done, a Soundflow Output menu appears, and I can't find the way to write the name of the Aux on that menu to set it. I've tried with Type Text action and Press Key but it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me how to go at this point?
Thank you

Thanks for the question. The pop search interactions in SoundFlow macros are not scriptable with Type Text and Press Keys macro actions. They are setup in a way that they need you to interact with them before SoundFlow continues on. SoundFlow actions run sequentially, so when you have a Type Text action after a 'Select Track Output (Search)' action, SoundFlow will wait indefinitely for you to type manually into the search field.
The other approach is to use actions which assign the Track Output by name. The most basic way to do this would be a macro action using "Select Track Output." For this action, don't fill in the "Track" property, set "For All Selected" to "Yes," and then define the output path you'd like to route.
Raphael Sepulveda also has a great free package in the Store with an even simpler preset action for routing tracks (you only need to give it the final output name like 'Bus 13-14 (Stereo)' instead of the whole menu path:

Finally, here's a quick video going through these concepts:

Hi Chad, first of all THANK YOU FOR REAL.
This is the fastest/best help I've had in 15 years of audio business from a Company. And even with a dedicated video, I still can't believe it. I just solved the problem with your instructions. Sorry I didn't have the time to dig into it before asking, it's a slow process.
Thank you so, so much. Can't even say how much I appreciate your attention.
Best
Toni
