MOVE CLIP IN PROTOOLS
Hello,
I need help creating a command with my template in protools.
My template is composed as follows:
The two tracks in record are the tracks where I record, these two tracks will change name in each recording (but I manually write the name each time).
What I need is that when I finish recording and press the space bar to stop the recording, soundflow will select the two clips I just recorded and move them immediately below into the two free tracks.
It is possible that I do multiple recordings in the same spot so each time it has to bring the clips down to two tracks even further below. In fact, my template looks like this: 2 tracks to record - 1 midi track 1 - 2 tracks where to insert the recordings - 1 midi track - 2 tracks where to insert the recordings - 1 midi track, and it goes on like this for 30 times.
Each time it should bring down the clips to the first two free tracks it finds.
Can you help me, it is too difficult for me to write.

Hey!
What you're asking isn't entirely impossible, but if I'm understanding correctly the level of automation you want would be very unreliable as it would require soundflow to be constantly online/listening for recording stops, and would have a good chance of being a headache in the event you don't want to run the entire script every 2 seconds of false start recordings too.
You could create a script that you manually trigger once the recording has stopped where it would select the tracks and then drag them down for you, however, as someone who's cut a lot of vocals for a living and uses soundflow a lot I'm not sure it's any quicker than just doing:
Recording finishes:
1 - shift+tab to highlight newly recorded clips
2 - cut / copy (keyboard "x" or "c")
3 - colon on keyboard to drop down to tracks below with either groups enabled or shift+colon
4 - p key to go back up
5 - new playlist if you wantOf course I can make that for you pretty quickly if you want! Just let me know. I know everyone has different speeds on the keyboard stuff

Hello Tristan,
Please note that I created it via macro.
But I have a button for each alternative.
Up to 120 :).It would be very convenient to have just one that always leads down.
I imagined it that way but I don't know how to do it:
When performing the cut and bring down operation, it must also do cmd + L in such a way that the clips are locked.
In the next recording soundflow brings them down but cannot paste automatically because the message (allow?) comes out.
So if the message comes out, it has to go further down... so until it finds a free space.
Could it work like that in your opinion?
Unfortunately I'm totally immature about scripts, but I've been working on protools for many years and I'm Avid certified, and in a month's trial I think I've figured out how to make Pro Tools and soundflow work in an optimised way, unfortunately I don't know how to do it :).Thank you very much if you can help me, let me know if you think my method can work....

Check out AAF organizer, it now works with more then one track so you can have one button to press instead of 120. You load an Array of tracks into the template and then it works its way down to the next available.
