    Hi,
    I am trying to create a macro that will alow me to assign the outputs of selected tracks to physical outs. This is what I have come up with so far + the error message;

    Thanks for your time,
    Ben

        I have also tried it without the first command, but with similar results.

          Hi Ben.

          That was actually gonna be my first suggestion. You should definitely not have the "Open Track Output Menu" action first, as that is already included in Select Track Output.

          If it still happens with just that action, can I get you to report this via Help/Issue? To do that, click the SoundFlow icon up by the clock, then click the Help/Issue button next to Bypass/Quit buttons, and follow the instructions.
          This will give me the info I need to help troubleshoot the issue.

                Hey Ben & @chrscheuer

                I'm also trying to do a similar action and getting a "Error invoking proTools.track.output.select" error.

                I'm just using the "Select Track Output" action.

                Has there been any update to this?

                    Hi,
                    I think you have to be in the edit window for the action to work, I was trying it from the mix window.
                    Hope this helps,
                    Cheers
                    Ben

                        Thanks for the reply Ben,

                        I'm actually in the edit window trying to get this to work. I just tried in the mix window and got the same error.

                        I'm guessing you haven't been successful yet either?

                            Hi,
                            It did work in the edit window for me, that said I haven't used this command lately especially since updating Pro Tools. The support I got was fantastic however so I'm sure they will jump in and sort this for you!
                            Cheers

                              Please note that for this action you have to specify the entire path to a single output path. For example "bus" -> "ST MON (Stereo)". The elements you specify need to 100% match the submenu SoundFlow would have to navigate to for you.
                              You cannot use this action to select multiple output paths.
