Avid Control: Custom soft keys to navigate to specific tracks/folders
Hi All,
Apologies if this is glaringly simple and I’ve missed the forest for the trees… Any advice would be appreciated.
I want to set up a Control page with a few buttons so that I can quickly jump my edit window view (and S1) to my master track folder of choice. I.e. for an audio-post session, I would have a few different buttons for: Dialogue, SFX, Foley, Ambiences, Music, etc. Of course, each of these master folders contains many sub tracks that feed into it. I am trying to figure out how avoid having to scroll/page through all the tracks in my entire session just to view and select each folder/master fader. So that I can access the master fader/folder for a given section (i.e. click “SFX” button in control and edit view/S1 jumps to “SFX Master” folder).
So far, I know I can do this by:
CMD+CTRL+clicking a folder/track in the TRACKS window.
on keyboard, "page down" and "pg up" to jump page by page through the session rather quickly (still takes a while, cumulatively).
swiping repeatedly and pawing like a kitten at my ipad in the control app to find the desired track.
...but with hundreds of tracks per session, this would be much easier if I could just create a few buttons for my “master faders” in Control, then hit a button and be taken directly to focus on it, just like "CMD+CTRL+click”.
Is there a specific category I should be looking for in the Eucon customization menu?
