Hi Slau, many thanks. That worked and I'm nearly there with the whole
process but one thing is still puzzling me, so one more, hopefully last
question please:
Once the pre and post-roll values are set, I can audition just the
pre-roll with option-left-arrow. This means I can set the in-point
precisely. So far so good, but when I try to adjust the out-point with
plus and minus, the whole selection moves rather than just the out-point
as I want. I can audition the out-point with command-right-arrow, but
I can't seem to set the out-point independently of the in-point. I
could work around this with markers and regions but I imagine I'm just
missing something basic in the process. I'm migrating from SoundForge
where it was possible to switch between hearing from the cursor, or from
the start of the selection, so you could easily audition the end of the
selection before marking the out-point.
It's pretty hard putting this into words so I hope you get my drift, and
I really do appreciate your help.
Best,
Peter

Hi Peter,
To set the pre or post roll value, go to the Transport window and find the pre
or post roll value and use Control-Option-space to click. Then enter the new
value and press Enter. You must type the value on the numeric keypad and
starting with the first number. In other words, if you want to enter two
seconds, you must type a zero, then the decimal, then zero two. Unless you want
smaller increments after the seconds, you can press Enter after having typed in
the zero two. If you're entering bars and beats, you'd type the bar number
first and then hit Enter. If you want a bar plus two beats as a pre-roll, you'd
enter one, press the decimal to get to the next field then type two and then
hit Enter. Remember that the decimal advances you to the next value field. Once
you hit Enter, the value takes effect. To retype a value, click once more and
enter the full value again, using decimal to advance to the subsequent fields
if necessary.
Once you have both pre and post roll values entered, the shortcuts I mentioned
earlier will work. Make sure you're in the Edit window while auditioning.
HTH,
Slau

Many thanks Slau, that's already helped a great deal for auditioning the
post-roll, but I've searched the menus for how to set the value of the
pre/post-roll and not found it. At the moment, command-left, option-left and
command-option-left all do the same thing. Is there a keystroke which will
definitely play just the pre-roll portion, stopping at the point where the
selection starts?
Best,
Peter

Hi Peter,
If you have values other than zero set for the pre and post roll, you can
audition the ranges with keyboard shortcuts. Option-Command-left arrow will
play the beginning of the selection including a pre-roll and
Option-Command-right arrow will play the end of the selection along with a post
roll. It's possible to play the pre and post roll individually using
combinations of Option or Command and either the left or right arrows.
Experiment by making a selection and using various combinations of Option-left
or right arrows and Command-left or right arrows. You'll see how it works.
HTH,
Slau

Hi All,
When making fine adjustments to a selection, I need to hear not only the
selection itself, but also the second or two beforehand, stopping at the
in-point. This is what I mean by pre-roll, and in SoundForge for example, you
can do this with CTRL-shift-K. In PT, I see that I can enable pre/post-roll
with command-K, but how do I actually audition the pre-roll and the post-roll?
Best,
Peter
