Sometimes turning Vo off (command f5) and then back on again will clear it up when an ap keeps saying “busy.” Gord

Hiya mate, I get Pro Tools busy quite a lot as well, are you using Lion? I am, and I'm not sure the support is really there. Not sure if that's fixed in PT 10 or not, but I have to treat it a bit gently at the minute. I don't know as you can do what you wanted to do with moving up and down the tracks, but what you can do (I believe), is record safe all tracks. Not sure if I've got the wrong end of the stick or what, but I thought that disarmed all tracks. A quick test mind you, is to hit record, if you have any tracks armed, it'll go to record. If none of them are, it'll error, telling you that no tracks are record-enabled. I know it's not much, but it's useful 3/10 times LOL. Hope this helps, and sorry I can't help more. Still pretty new to this stuff myself. HTH.

I'm getting it often lately. Also, maybe you can help with 2 other things, #1 I frequently get apple menu is under the mouse no matter how things are routed. I believe it's because the VO cursor is in a place that the mouse can't follow. What are the proper commands to fit everything on the screen, somebody talked about a scroll in to view, is that it? #2 Is there something quick that can let you see 1 aspect of many tracks, for example, any way of knowing the status of solo, mute, record, read, write, latch, touch as you move up and down? Like if you have 24 tracks just hitting down arrow in the automation field and hearing off, off, off, read, read, latch, touch etc. Or scrolling down a part that would say, the track name and record on or record off as you go through each track. The way I'm doing it now is interacting with each track and I have to go through each column 1 by 1 to hear the state of where things are.
