Hi Sonar, After working with different producers on sessions the length of the track name seems to be a factor also. In other words the shorter the track name the less the Track List Table has to be moved. I came up with 30% to the right about 2 years ago and it works even for my long winded track names! :) I half to try that "VO resize > > window command" and see if it works for me! Thats 1 of the reasons I work from templates. When the clock is ticking there is no time for guesswork! LOL
Since 2001 when I started using PT 5.1 resizing windows was a NO NO because my Outspoken go to marks would get messed up! ;) Thats probably why I didn't try that. YMMV again GUFFAWING :) CHUCK REICHEL 954-742-0019 www.SoundPictureRecording.com In GOD I Trust On Mar 16, 2012, at 4:39 PM, Sonar Switcher wrote: > david, I had the same problem and Chuck was the one to get it to work. > I understand Slau's idea but it's not very practical if you have to > move fast.
