It’s not a dumb question.
Project Logical Editor. A -very- useful (but very poorly documented) tool for doing exactly the kind of task I was asking about. Basically, it’s a primitive ‘script generator’ for the CPR as LE is for the MIDI Editor. It lets you automate all sorts of Project-Wide tasks. You should check it out.
Not wanting to put words in a frog’s mouth, but I believe Steve was pointing out, in his inimitable fashion that, if I had bothered to keep looking for new capabilities with each new release, I would’ve seen that the -ability- to do what I want has been added to PLE.
In the top half: Media Type = Tracks
In the bottom half: Disable Monitor
…now save it, then go to key commands and assign that PLE ‘process’ to a key command and Robert’s yer Brother’s Uncle… my wish is granted.
