Hi tim, well that's weird. Well, what happend for me was that I found that I was in the track list and regardless of the track I was on, even if I pressed vo space to select it, When I pressed shift m, for example, a seeming random track got muted and it was always that track, regardless of what I did with the keyboard focus buttons.
I have some vision, so had been playing around with the selector tool and clicking on track ets. When I looked through the keyboard shortcuts manual, the shift +s m and r keys apply to the selected track. I'm not sure what Pro Tools classifies as being the selected track but here's what I noticed. When I uncheck link track and edit selection, If you click on a track, solo, mute and arming works for that track, however, if you select a different track by using vo in the track list, those keys will still apply to the previously selected track. If you select that menu option, When you select a different track in the track list, the insertion point moves to the newly selected track and the keys work correctly for that track. That's the long version of the polava I went through to get it working for me. I'm using the very first version that became accessible last June, so there may be a more recent update that works differently, but I'm glad we've both got it working. I was playing around with xpand 2 yesterday, that's very accessible as well, though not as good as Omnisphere which I really want to get, does anyone know if any of that is accessible with VO?
