Pro Tools Output/Send > New Track/Track... Not working.

[lamewig]

just a few minutes ago i updated my laptop from PT 9 to 10 and i'm now getting the same thing. i notice that what it's doing is sending to an output rather than a buss. anyone know where can this be changed so that it automatically assigns the sends to busses like it did in 9?

It seems like it's a fault that only occurs in PT10. There have been occasions where the function has worked normally for me, but 9 times out of 10 it does.

It seems in order to make the bus that the Output/send or aux input is set to, 'active', You have to go into I/O settings and untick the output box next to the bus in question. Which makes the whole function pointless and MORE time consuming.

I've been trying to figure out why it does this but it creates a bus and tries to map it to a physical output.

Go to I/O setup, bus tab, find the bus you created to route your signal to a new track, (or existing track), and deselect "mapping to output" checkbox... then the bus you've created will be activated.

Not sure why by default it tries to map it to a physical output. I've noticed this on both PT9 and PT10.

This happens is PT 9 for me also. I think it has to do with the 'last used I/O setting ' sometimes it will change the name to sends from an old mix. What Is this feature for?

Here's a bump and a link to my threads on the topic.. still no answers..

GS:
Assigning Sends to New Tracks in Pro Tools - default output?!

DUC:
Create new track using 'new track' in SENDS menu - output hardware instead of bus? - Avid Audio Forums

Edit:
Just saw Condorbc's post.. will try this tomorrow! Thanks.
