Mute Tracks By Specific Name

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. Nice to have that ability on the keyboard. Thanks!

Having some trouble getting the 2nd example to work. Looks like the last two lines are just an example of how I would change the code in the 1st line? So, for instance I would change the 1st line to:

function setMuteState([ 'MX GT', 'DX GT' ], true) {

Got it. Works perfectly. Not sure how I'd use this one, but good to have :)

And in the 1st example that toggles the mute (more useful to me), how would I alter the code to toggle mute on multiple tracks?

Cool. Good to have the option available :)

Sorry just saw you post about moving to the public "How To". Please do! I've made F16-19 my GT Master - DX - MX - FX and it's really efficient.

I've attempted writing some code using auto-complete, but it's still a little out of my league. I think you need at least a basic background in coding even with that option. But I'm able to adapt existing code if it's simple. I've looked through the how to section and found some interesting stuff. But I'll check back to see what's there. FYI - I was just talking you up again to Danny Caccavo, who is the Pro Tools guru here. I'd really like to show him and the rest of the team what you're doing. And they have a few people here who can code who could certainly do some cool stuff with this platform. They are insanely busy, but I think interested in checking it out. Perhaps we can get you on a Skype call or something if we can find a time. Would you be interested in that?

This command is great! I'm muting my DX, MX, and FX GT's from my keyboard. BUT it does not work for one track and I cannot figure out why. The track is called "ALL FX". I copied/pasted the code and replaced the track name with ALL FX. But each time it fails Javascript exception: TypeError. I can send screen shots if it helps. Here's the code:

sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({
name: ' ALL FX',
makeVisible: true
}).track.buttons.getByTitle('Mute').elementClick();

This is great for muting/Un muting multiple Busses offscreen.
Thanks guys!

This code will cycle the mute through the tracks names. I use this to monitor various downmixes. You can provide the track names in the var headphoneTracks part in the beginning of the code. If by mistake all are muted, then the first track in the list will be unmuted. If there are more than 2 tracks unmuted, then too all except the first track in the list will be muted. If only one is unmuted, then it will begin the cyclic toggle between the rest.

var headphoneTracks = ['Binaural', 'AppleMusic', 'Surround']; // Add more track names as needed

function toggleHeadphoneMute() {
    // Determine the mute state of each track and count how many are unmuted
    var unmutedTracks = headphoneTracks.filter(function(trackName) {
        var muteState = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({
            name: trackName,
            makeVisible: true
        }).track.buttons.getByTitle('Mute').invalidate().value.value;
        return muteState !== "on state"; 
    });

    // Logic to handle different mute state scenarios
    if (unmutedTracks.length === 0) {
        // If all tracks are muted, unmute the first one
        toggleMuteState(headphoneTracks[0]);
    } else if (unmutedTracks.length > 1) {
        // If more than one track is unmuted, mute all except the first one
        unmutedTracks.forEach(function(trackName, index) {
            if (index > 0) toggleMuteState(trackName); // Skip the first track
        });
    } else {
        // If exactly one track is unmuted, cycle the mute state to the next track
        var currentIndex = headphoneTracks.indexOf(unmutedTracks[0]);
        var nextIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % headphoneTracks.length; // Cycle through the array
        toggleMuteState(unmutedTracks[0]); // Mute the currently unmuted track
        toggleMuteState(headphoneTracks[nextIndex]); // Unmute the next track
    }
}

function toggleMuteState(trackName) {
    // Toggles the mute state of a given track
    sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({
        name: trackName,
        makeVisible: true
    }).track.buttons.getByTitle('Mute').elementClick();
}

// Activate Pro Tools main window and run the toggle function
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();
toggleHeadphoneMute();
