   Can you give us more detail on what the 'expected' behavior should be? Scrub on any track routed through a track in 'input monitor' disables input monitor on that track? Or the scrubbed track gets auto-routed through your audition path? Or something else entirely?

   Also - it would be good to know under which circumstances you'd be working like this - rather than having the scrubbed track routed through something other than a track in input monitor mode.

      I run into this one all the time. For the sake of simplicity, say I've got one mono track with VO and one stereo track with music, both have Bus 1-2 assigned as an output; the 3rd track in the session is a stereo audio track with Bus 1-2 as the input and the output going to my monitors. I'll call that track the re-record track. On our LE system, I can put that re-record track into record, turn on auto input monitoring (or whatever that feature is called), scrub on the VO track, and hear the scrubbing. On our HD system, I can put that re-record track into input monitoring, and monitor the mix while playing, but when I go to scrub on the VO track, the re-record track stops passing audio. Consequently, all my mix sessions have an Aux Input next to the re-record (audio) track which can be un-muted when I want to scrub. It works, but it's a PITA.

   Doesn't scrubbing by definition solo all other tracks ?

   When mixing for post audio, I usually have all elements routed to submaster aux tracks for dialog, music & effects. Those auxs are routed to audio tracks to record those stems. When, for example, a dialog track is routed to the dialog master, then to the corresponding record track in input monitor, scrubbing the dialog track results in silence.

   Exactly, Codes. Because I use scrub a lot when I'm cutting FX, and I'm often working within a session that is setup to record stems, I end up having to set up auxes with paths & automation that mimic my record tracks for monitoring while working on stuff, keeping my recording tracks muted, then unmute the record tracks & mute the monitor auxes when I go into record, it's a big hassle.

   SO basically I just want to be able to scrub my tracks & hear them when they're routed through audio tracks that are in input.

   This flaw makes it very difficult with our work flow as well. Please fix this!

   This would be really helpful for us as well. Like Codes and Zerodbspl point out, it means you need to set up a whole extra set of aux tracks just to hear what you're scrubbing.

   This is a huge problem and would be a huge timesaver if it were fixed.

   I would second (millionth) this. It is a HUGE PITA. Basically I have to work editorially and then reroute everything to go into mix mode and then switch back or just forget about scrubbing.

   Probably the best solution would be to have "solo safe" work for scrubbing also. Others may point out the flaws with that but I think that would be the solution that would work the smoothest and seems to be the kind of situation that "solo safe" was designed for.

    From a user's point of view this should just work. Any engineering reasons notwithstanding. Thanks.

    I think the best would be that all REC-Enabled Tracks as well as Input Monitoring Enabled Tracks would pass through Scrub.

    For Example: In a smaller Mixing Stage (Film) with an Icon Controller using one PT System everything is routed to Record-Tracks (through Bussing, etc.). The Editor now wants to get rid of a Click/Pop/what so ever or find a place in a Dialog where to cut. In this Case he would want use the "Scrub Tool". Because of this Setup only achieveble through annyoing Workarounds.

    A Scrub passthrough the Record Tracks would be a huge help.

    Hello Moderator, I didn't see your question 'til now.

    I agree with Siggi. It shouldn't do anything complicated, just when a track's output is feeding into another track's input, and the second track is in input monitor- or E to E as we used to call it- when we scrub the first track, it should pass through the second track & to whatever it's output path is.

    This functionality now works with Pro Tools HDX. It doesn't work for HD Native or HD TDM at this time.

    If you have buss a track to an aux track and you hear a pop or noise. You can't scrub the track. You have to re assign to the 1-2 output. So stupid.
