Thanks Slau, I will try that, I thought you had to be in that particular window
to select that way, but now that you said it I remember Kevin touching on it,
it was a bit of information overload at that time. As far as enabling the
transport bar, what are the pros and cons of having it enabled all the time?

The up and down arrow keys only work while the transport is engaged and have
no effect when it is not engaged. You can use the numeric keypad to enter start
and end points while the transport is not engaged. Pressing the slash key on
the numpad enables the start field. Type the bar and beat, separated by the
decimal and then press the slash key again to enable the end field and enter
the bar and beat for the end point of the selection you wish to make. That
process works for minutes and seconds as well as every other time format and it
all can be done while the transport is not engaged.
Hope that helps,
slau

Ok, I am unable to select a track for editing, copying or anything like
that by using my up and down arrow to drop selection points and num 1 and 2 key
to select the bars of audio that I want to work on. I can use the arrow keys on
the fly to select for editing, cutting, copying and all of that, but when I try
to do it when the track is stopped it doesn’t select anything. The same thing
when I try to select via marker. Do I need to have something checked or
unchecked to make this happen. Just selecting stuff on the fly is good, but not
precise as doing it from a stand still especially when you are trying to shoot
for accuracy in this case. I have the selecter tool checked, the bars and beats
selected, and I make sure the track or tracks are selected in the track list.
I can go into the edit window and do it by beats and bars in that window in
there, I forget what it is called right now, but simply using the up and down
arrows with the num pad would be much quicker for me. I feel extremely silly
asking some of these questions especially when it is for functions I use all
the time in other applacations.
Thanks for those who do help alot on here and for having pacients with us
when the rounds of beginner questions still pop up.
