Subject: Re: Changing start of a song
If you do the following, it should work. It assumes you have linked the Edit
and Timeline and that edit selection follows track selection under your Options
menu.
1. Show all tracks.
2. Go to the edit window.
3. Press Command-Option-3 (on the numbers row) to bring keyboard focus to the
Groups List.
4. Press Shift-1 which is the shortcut for the "all" group.
5. Move the insertion point to the beginning of the song. Most of the time,
if you've scrubbed or played back somewhere in the session, pressing Return to
get to the start and tab once should bring you right to the beginning of the
first region. Mind you, if the song wasn't edited to begin with, there might be
a count-off bar or a few seconds of fiddling around before the song really
starts. If you wish to get rid of that, get the insertion point to exactly
where you want the playback to start.
6. Make sure you're in shuffle mode by pressing f1.
7. While holding Shift, press return to select everything to the beginning of
the session.
8. Press Delete.
Keep in mind to disable the all group by pressing Shift-1 and that keyboard
focus is on the groups table so, if there are other groups in the session and
you inadvertently type, you might be enabling or disabling groups. A good thing
to do would be to get into Keyboard focus mode with Command-Option-1. Of
course, there, you might also inadvertently type a command that might cause an
edit function but I'm assuming you're not randomly pressing letters while not
in some dialog box. You should be fine otherwise.
HTH,
Slau

So, some of my clients come in with instrumentals that start late into the
metradome count and I can sometimes manipulate the start point buy cutting
space at the front end and using shuffle, but it isn't fool proof. I noticed
the change start point feature under the event/time menue, but havent got a
handle on it. Is there some pointers to getting it to work?
Thanks
