Well, let's see if it works better with el
capitan and the repairs. That battery definitely did swell up and force the
touch pad up along with it. Voice over shouldn't really put that much of a
load on resources because it is operating down in the depths of the OS,
unlike third party screen readers in windows, especially Jaws which is a hog
because of the off screen model.

I think this Apple specialist is misinformed. I have been leaving my 2009
MacBook Pro plugged in for the past six years, and nothing is happened like
that. Also, El Capitan runs fine on older systems. It's Yosemite that
sluggish in general. I am six years in, and this MacBook Pro is still
running fine.

reinstall the os from scratch. I noticed that the touch pad was all out

was that if you leave it plugged in and continuously run it off AC
power, the battery will eventually swell up, pushing up the touch pad
and killing the battery. They had to send it out. SO if you are using
a mac book, don't do what I did and treat it like a desktop, leaving it
running all the time. Not only that, but they told me that although my
system is an intel i7 with 8gb of ram, el capitan is optimized for newer
processors that use a slightly different instruction set. My system
barely matched minimum requirements. I think that I will probably get a
desktop system since I really don't use the laptop as a portable system
that much anyway, and the components are a lot less expensive for what
you get. Even the new mac book pros come standard with 16 gb of ram
now.

Hi Slau!
I think, I got it.
Selecting a track by pressing Command+Option+F is not the same like
using p and semicolon.
P and semicolon moe the insertion point to the desired track and
Command+Option+F not.
Maybe thats the whole trick.
Thank you for your great assistance and have a nice day! / Martin

Hi Martin,
I just opened the original zipped session file and I was able to
recreate the behavior you've been seeing. As I suspected, it's the
issue with having some sort of insertion point within the track. This
time, I avoided any kind of scrubbing or shuttling while performing the
actions and the audio was not deleted. As soon as I scrubbed
momentarily in the track, any type of deletion or editing was possible.
BTW, I believe I mistakenly mentioned linking the edit and timeline
selection in my previous message. While that should always be checked
(except for very specific circumstances), I meant "edit selection
Follows Track Selection." With that option turned on, one would think
that simply selecting a different track should move the insertion and
vice versa. That may be true but, until there's an insertion point of
some kind, it's likely that, when a new track is created, there's no
insertion cursor, per se. Once there is, however, selecting a track
moves the insertion cursor and moving the insertion cursor selects the
corresponding track. I think it's specific to a newly-recorded track
where, before any editing takes place, there's no insertion point
anywhere within the session until you intentionally create one.
I'll see if I can verify this further but I'm pretty sure that's the
case. Cheers,
Slau

Hi Slau!
The edit window is opened and all numpad navigation commands work

Waveform is selected and the track hight is set to middle.
But still no deletion possible.
Starting and stopping shuttle lock mode once by pressing

for this track.
Same procedure again when adding another new track.
Strange…

Hi Martin,
I opened the session and followed your steps and, yes, the deletion
works fine.
One thing I did out of necessity is open the Edit window. By default,
the session had only the Mix window opened. Without the Edit window
being opened (even if it's just in the background), the numeric
keypad commands for navigation wouldn't work.
One thing I would check on your newly created track is that the track
view selector is set to waveform. If it's not, you'll hear the audio
but what's actually displayed in the timeline is whatever is selected
in the track view selector pop-up. That could be volume information
or pan, send, mute information, etc. If you select and delete, the
only thing you'd be deleting is whatever the track view is
displaying. It won't affect the audio. Double-check that your newly
created track is set to waveform in the edit window. If you don't see
the track view selector, go to the track options button and make sure
your track height is set to at least small and not micro or mini.
Actually, you can also set the track view from the track options
pop-up list even if the height is set to micro or small.
Let me know if that solves the issue.

Hi Slau and list!
Here is the link to my favorite test session.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30728751/Uke.zip
It's out of the ProToolsWithSpeech tutorial added with an raw
recorded uke.
Sorry for the size but I did not want to change anything.
And all testers who do not own a copy of ProToolsWithSpeech should
trash this session after testing.
Do the following:
Open the session with Pro Tools 12.4 or 12.3.1.
Select track 4 (the acoustic guitar) by using scroll to track -
Command+Option+F.
Go to bar 6 by using NumpadStar followed by Numpad6 and NumpadEnter.
Select to the beginning of the session by using Shift+Enter.
Delete the selected audio by pressing Delete or Command+B.
Press Enter for session start and Numpad0 for audition.
Now the guitar starts at bar 1.
And now:
Insert a new mono audio track next to the guitar by pressing
Shift+Command+N followed by VO+Space.
Arm the new track by pressing Shift+R.
Start recording by pressing Numpad3 and record 4 bars of what ever.
Stop recording by pressing Numpad0.
Unarm the track by pressing Shift+R.
Go to bar 3 by pressing NumpadStar followed by Numpad3 and
NumpadEnter.
Select to the beginning of the session by using Shift+Enter.
Delete the selected audio by pressing Delete or Command+B.
Press Enter for session start and Numpad0 for audition.
Did the deletion work?
Regards! / Martin

Hi Martin,
Let's try an experiment. Create a small session with one or two
tracks where
you can recreate this behavior. Zip it up and share a Drop Box link
to it and
let's see if others experience the same thing. I've never seen this
before so
I'm curious to figure out what the issue might be.

Hello Slau and list!
Here is an additional observation.
When opening sessions which where recorded with older Pro Tools
versions deleting of selected audio works as expected.
Inserting a new audio track into the same session results in the
strange
behavior for only that new audio track.

Hi Martin,
I'm not exactly sure why you're seeing that particular behavior.
When Edit
and Timelines are linked and Edit Selection Follows Track
Selection are
checked under the Options menu, the normal behavior, despite
which
tool is
selected seems to be normal. In other words, if those are
checked, any
selection made in the Edit window with any particular track that
is
selected
just simply works. Frankly, I don't remember the last time I had
to change
the
edit tool for any given session. If I ever am specifically
looking to see
which
tool is selected, I opt for the Selector Tool but, again, I don't
remember
the
last time I had to verify because anything I ever do with editing
just works
without any issues.
All that said, I have to say that one detail that is absolutely
always true as it
pertains to any editing that I do is that I always use either the
scrub mode
on
the control surface or, at the very least, Shuttle mode on the
numeric
keypad
to navigate within a track to get to the edit point. Since I
always have
"insertion follows scrub" checked in the Preferences window, I'm
guaranteed to have an insertion cursor in the track because of
that fact.
Having the Edit Selection following Track Selection under the
Options
menu is
supposed to ensure that same behavior but who knows, maybe
there's a
crazy overlooked issue with that. I'm not sure.
Let me know if anything changes or you discover anything else.
Cheers,
Slau

Thanks for answering and helping again.
All the settings, options and prefs. Were set correctly.
After testing the whole day I experienced something reliable and
reproducible.
Not shure if this is a new PT 12.4 thing?...
I never came to that before.
Here are my observations:
After opening a new empty session and adding e.g. an audio track
I have
to
enable the Scrubber-Tool by pressing e.g. Control+Numpad0.
After that I habe to disable that tool by pressing Spacebar or
Escape.
Having done these two steps deleting copying and cutting works
fine
again.
Where does this come from?
Another short question: Is there a difference between Command+B
and
the Delete key?
Best! / Martin

check to make sure Track Selection is following Edit selection
under the
Options menu. Also, make sure edit selection follows scrub
under the
Operations tab of PT Preferences. After recording a track, you
should
be
able
to delete audio within a track easily. If the track is selected
and, say,
you
shuttled or scrubbed through the audio for even a split second,
there
would
be an insertion point in the track for sure. Press Return to
get to the
beginning of the timeline and then press Shift-Option-Return to
select
everything in the track to the end of the timeline and press
Delete.
Let us know if that helps,

I'm
not
able

Same with new sessions.
Loop playback of the selected audio works fine and all
selecting

do also work.
I checked all the time- and edit-line settings, Grabber-Tool

no

Could it be a window size or zoom issue?
If so... Could I reset that values without assistance?
What else could I check?
