My outboard rig has been expanding, and I’m finding myself using more hardware inserts. I’m guessing I’m doing something wrong, but if I’m wanting to bounce my mix out to a WAV or mp3, is there a way to commit all of my hardware inserts across all the channels? I’ve been using the “commit up to this insert” option, but if I have to do that for, say, 5 tracks, it takes a long time to do each commit across all the different tracks.
What am I doing wrong, and how wrong am I haha?

I have a template where I'm monitoring "committed" tracks on input throughout the entire mix. When I'm done with the mix, I simply arm those tracks and hit record. 3 minutes (or so) later all are committed in case I ever need "recall". It's a bit complicated, but I hope that makes sense.

I've got a template that essentially leaves me with tracks, automated tracks, committed tracks with automation and inserts intact and recorded, stems, and final mix. Allows me to use hardware and have instant recall - with the ability to move "backwards" in the production process as far as I want. |

I've been meaning to do a Hybrid / OTB 100% total recall blog or writeup. Will have to get around to it one of these days. |

Not to compromise the spirit of the free internet, but I would humbly suggest that you do an e-Book. The only reason I say that is that maybe if there's a chance at some financial reward you'll be more likely to actually get it done! And I think with your connection to SB and good online reputation, you'd probably sell a few. Especially if you included templates for various routing schema. I'd buy it. |

For some reason, I thought this was a HW insert commit function, where maybe I could print directly to the same track without having to set up another track, route, then move to a new playlist to commit HW inserts. |

Or more realistically... this is exactly why some people (including myself) use summing boxes or an actual console with extensive patchbays. No tedious BS of pinging inserts & printing/freeze alternate tracks... just simple real-time stereo mixing. Truthfully I haven't found a more elegant solution for incorporating copious amounts of outboard. Its like trying to reinvent the wheel... |

If you right click over the hardware insert slot and choose “commit up to this insert” it will do a real time bounce and then hide & disable the original track. |

If you highlight all the tracks you want to commit (shift+click) you can then right click on any one of the tracks (you may have to hold option...PT is muscle memory at this point) and select "commit" it will commit them all at once in realtime.
If you are looking to commit your entire mix, output everything to an AUX, rather than a master fader, have your mix buss h/w inserts on that aux (if using) and then you can route that aux to an audio track and record the mix back into the DAW. I always have my MIX OUT go to a solo-safed audio track in input monitoring mode. That way you can record the mix at any time and also compare it to your previous revision, if need be, by just clicking it out of input monitoring. Handy for making sure your changes are actually improving the mix!

I do what Bill does just probably not to that level of extreme.
All it is in internal routing from track to track to track. Pretty easy to setup and once you do it's easy to print all your stuff however you like. Do this with stereo and 5.1 busses in the same project too so you can mix both stereo and 5.1 at once.

I have a template where I'm monitoring "committed" tracks on input throughout the entire mix. When I'm done with the mix, I simply arm those tracks and hit record. 3 minutes (or so) later all are committed in case I ever need "recall". It's a bit complicated, but I hope that makes sense. I think so! Basically, you're "committing" any inserts/tracks down to a separate track with a single encompassing recording event, and from that point, you can bounce down that track with the remaining tracks, assuming you'd mute the non-committed "insert" tracks. You'd have all of the pre-commited tracks along with, essentially, a summed track of all the "committed" tracks (that also have the added benefit of any post-insert plugin). I realize you can sort of save the pre-committed tracks alongside the committed ones, but this seems more straightforward and easy to follow. |

Everything gets recorded to a track within the mix session. |

Select tracks you want to commit. Shift option and right click, select the appropriate choice (I like “commit up to this insert”, and try to use the same insert slot for my hw inserts to facilitate this), and bam, bobs yer uncle. Basically fool proof.
A possible issue with bill’s way (unless I’m misunderstanding his setup) is that this can break PT’s delay compensation if you’re not careful, so just be mindful of that.

Mannn how have I not been using “commit”. It’s been in the back of my mind as something I should try, I’ve just manually done it for so long.
Anyway, what a nice feature for printing hardware (something I do a LOT of).
