Hi,
Very new and I know nothing about scripting...
Basically looking to Select the first track in my session (This is always the Reference mix supplied by my client) Unmute it and solo it, Then on the next press Mute and Unsolo it. It always the first track of the session but i dont normally bother naming it anything special.
Ive seen some posts on solo and muting, And some on selecting the last track of a session. But I dont know how to adapt the code to make it the first track.
Thanks in advance
Jack

const desiredTrack = "first" // or "last" sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate(); function getSoloState(trackName) { const track = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: trackName }).track; const trackHasSoloBtn = !track.title.invalidate().value.endsWith(" - Master Track "); return trackHasSoloBtn ? track.isSoloed : false; }; // Get first visible track in session const visibleTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.visibleTrackNames const firstTrack = visibleTrackNames[0]; const lastTrack = visibleTrackNames[visibleTrackNames.length - 1]; const targetTrack = desiredTrack == "first" ? firstTrack : lastTrack // Define first track solo button const firstSoloButton = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: targetTrack }).track.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Solo").first; if (getSoloState(firstTrack) == false) { // If track isn't solo-ed unmute track and click solo button sf.ui.proTools.trackSetMuteByName({ name: firstTrack, targetValue: 'Disable' }); firstSoloButton.elementClick(); } else { // If track is solo-ed mute track and click solo button sf.ui.proTools.trackSetMuteByName({ name: firstTrack, targetValue: 'Enable' }); firstSoloButton.elementClick(); };- AArtem Shcherbakov @Artem_Shcherbakov
Hey Chris!
Any chance you could do a version for the latest track as well? I just can’t seem to crack it 🥲
Chris Shaw @Chris_Shaw2025-06-12 15:47:30.780ZHey @Artem_Shcherbakov,
I edited the code above to do either.
Just changedesiredTrackat the top of the script to either"first"or"last"to do what you want.- AArtem Shcherbakov @Artem_Shcherbakov
Thanks for the help, Chris! 🙏
The updated script didn’t fully work for me just by changing "first" or "last" at the top — a few other lines still referenced the first track directly.
Here’s the version I put together — not sure if it’s the most proper way to do it, but it works as expected for me :)const desiredTrack = "last" sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.invalidate(); function getSoloState(trackName) { const track = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: trackName }).track; const trackHasSoloBtn = !track.title.invalidate().value.endsWith(" - Master Track "); return trackHasSoloBtn ? track.isSoloed : false; }; // Get first visible track in session const visibleTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.visibleTrackNames const firstTrack = visibleTrackNames[0]; const lastTrack = visibleTrackNames[visibleTrackNames.length - 1]; const targetTrack = lastTrack // Define first track solo button const firstSoloButton = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetByName({ name: targetTrack }).track.buttons.whoseTitle.is("Solo").first; if (getSoloState(lastTrack) == false) { // If track isn't solo-ed unmute track and click solo button sf.ui.proTools.trackSetMuteByName({ name: lastTrack, targetValue: 'Disable' }); firstSoloButton.elementClick(); } else { // If track is solo-ed mute track and click solo button sf.ui.proTools.trackSetMuteByName({ name: lastTrack, targetValue: 'Enable' }); firstSoloButton.elementClick(); };
- Progress
