Already possible . . . . kind of. Create a new Audio object track. Set the "Cha" to output 1-2 (or whatever). If you push the record button on this track, the bounce menu pops up. This track will now also show up on the adaptive track mixer, if you want. Unfortunately . . . . the key command for record, which is the asterisk key, does not function in the same way as pushing the record button on the track itself. Still it's pretty fast and simple. best, Jon --config-- Apple Dual 800 G4, 1.5 gigs ram, Mac OS 9.2.2, RME Hammerfall DSP, MOTU 2408, MOTU MTP AV (USB), OMS 2.3.8, Spirit 328 Digital Mixer/Controller, Apogee Converters (WC Master), ATI Radeon AGP, ATI Rage 128 (second monitor).
