This time, I am posting a utility I made that deletes empty audio tracks from a Pro Tools session. If you have a session with a bunch of tracks that are empty (which can often come once you comp tracks and are left with nothing on the tracks), this app will delete those for you automatically. What it cannot do though is to differentiate if a track that is empty is a record / input enabled track. Which means, if you have a track that is meant for recording and so is empty because of that, it will delete that. This utility is smart enough to delete only Audio Tracks and not Auxes and Masters / VCAs.

Wow !!! This is a great utility …
Can u work on a utility which would scan for tracks with least amount of audio regions…
That would be really helpful in tracking …
😉
Hey Zahir, it would be difficult to get the least number of clips. What could be done is to set a number of clips to scan, like for example select all tracks which have 2 clips or less. It would be a bit time consuming to run, I think. Dont know as I havent done it yet. But then, if it selects the tracks, what next? 🙂
Well, once it selects the track , one just has to move the audio clip to other track , and then delete the present track … That’s the logic that one applies when ur tracking a session …
Fund the track with the least amount of audio clips , move the clips to other track , delete previous track … Move onto next least dense track …
Yeah. But the only issue there is it isnt possible to check if this clip you are moving up will overlap another one that is already existing on the track. Then the issue of not merging an ambience track into an FX track and so on. Still, let me think over this. 🙂
