Allow track type to be changed for empty tracks
Enable the channel width of an empty track to be changed (mono to stereo, etc.), and any empty track able to be changed to any other type (MIDI, Instrument, Aux, etc.). It should be doable in such a way that plugins don't change where possible. E.g., an Audio track with a set of plugins but no audio on it should be able to be turned into an Aux track with the same plugins and settings.

adopt "abandon changes" from Cloud Collaboration into Pro Tools
This is great if you have done some changes on a track (plugin settings pan vol auto etc) and you want to get back to where you started from without the need to "Revert to Saved..." - and this works on a track basis, not only the whole session, So you can make changes on track one, then track 2,3,4,... and then you can abandon changes... more »

Rename Track Shortcut Key Command
Rename the highlighted track by a key command, without needing to scroll to the track title and double click. Working in post, this would save a lot of time.

Import Session Data - Indication of Inactive and Hidden Tracks
Please add an indication of which tracks, from the source session, are hidden and/or inactive. Color coding or font changes (italics, "@" prefix, bold for non-hidden vs non-bold for hidden tracks, etc.) could be used to differentiate these tracks.

Import tracks in inactive state
Please let us force imported track to come in as inactive tracks. In large film sessions when you add another 300 tracks to re-balance the reels it takes forever for HDX to do the DSP "optimisation" process. Would have to be able to import as inactive to avoid closing, reopening the source session deactivating there and then save and reopen the target session again and then import. Slows down a big mix a lot.

Direct DigiLink to DigiLink connections
32 channels from one system to another using just one cable. Would help to reduce system latencies. Seems logical now that DigiLink is an independent cost, that it should be undergoing independent development. This would seem to be the easiest extension of the protocol.
And if this were to be implemented, then maybe down the line we could get a multiport DigiLink switch...

Multiple playlists for Markers
In different parts of production a project there is a need for different sets of markers. It would be nice to create different marker playlists much like there are for tracks. So if i make editing markers I can make a new blank marker lane for my mixing markers, but if I need to go back and reference my editing markers I can re-select the editing playlist and those markers will then become the current markers.

Add PluralEyes to ProTools
PluralEyes (os something that lines up regions by matching waveforms) would really be helpful when conforming audio to video, as there's no auto-conform (that would be nice, too) in PT. Most video editors now have this feature. Really strange that PT doesn't.

Sample Rate display in header
When using an external clock, if you open a session that's at a different sample rate than the clock is currently set at you get an error message. If you don't remember what rate the session was at (or don't know) you must open the Session Setup (command-2) to find out what it is. There's lots of room in that header - sure would be a great piece of info. to have up there (after all these years!!)

Customised naming of MIDI CC
For example, CC11 that is named Expression is often used for Dynamics. And CC1 that is named Mod Wheel is often used for Dynamics or Vibrato. But the usage is differs from instrument to instrument and even often customisable in the instruments.... more »
