Unable to perform multiple tracks assignment

Post by jsmusic »

I've been experiencing problems assignment in/out puts to multiple tracks after reinstalling DP on my new Macbook, updated to the latest version of DP 9. In the past I was able to used Option+A to assign but now the button "OK" on the bottom is greyed out when I try to change output for multiple tracks or even one single track. I wonder if anyone is experiencing this problem too?

I note that this happens on both my new laptop and also my desktop version on Mac mini after I upgraded to the latest version. Any one who could help advise?

Sometimes after a change of hardware, software, or :?: the moon :!: input names get changed. Check to see if that happened and the inputs are not the ones DP or Bundles thinks they are.
(That's probably not it, but when I experience that on my rig, that's usually the cause here. 8)

I'm still on DP 9.02, but Option-A seems to be working fine on my MBP.

What do you see when you click on the pull-down menu to assign inputs and/or outputs?

Are you clicking on "Assign all selected tracks to this input (output)" or "Assign to consecutive inputs (outputs)"?
