can not delete audio
Ok, what have i done this time. i’m trying to delete some audio from a project. for some reason i can’t seem to delete anything. I had this all working before. Basically i’ve gone in to the edit window, and interacted with the track list table. I’ve located the tracks i want and hit v o space to select them. when i look at them the tracks say selected. then i’ve just used my up and down arrow to make my selection. when i press space my selection plays no problem. but when i hit delete nothing seems to happen, the audio remains. What have i missed now. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: can not delete audio
First thing I'd look at in the Edit window would be to see whether you changed the track display to show Volume or some other information rather than waveform. Make sure you're displaying the waveform or else you won't be deleting audio but rather some other thing like pan automation, send level, mute automation or something similar.

Hey slau and others, can you tell me where i find this track display, i’ve searched through the edit window, and can’t seem to locate it. so not sure. Tanks in advance.

Re: can not delete audio
Steve, In the Edit window, bring up the item chooser and type "wave." That should narrow your choices to the display button that should say "waveform." If you don't see this button, there are two possible explanations, actually three but one of those would be that you have no tracks being displayed and I doubt that's the case. The second is that your display is set to something like volume so the word "waveform" would not be displayed. Bring up the item chooser and type "mute." If you can find the mute button, move focus to the next control and it'll be something other than waveform but will surely be at least something. Click on that button and select "waveform." The third possibility is that your track height is insufficient to display the full names of the buttons. With the track selected, press Control-up arrow twice then perform the steps with the item chooser. Chances are the button is displaying something other than waveform if cutting, pasting and deleting isn't working.

Re: can not delete audio
hi again. well here’s the go. i’ve brought up the item chooser in the edit window, and it says wav form. so it looks like that is fine. not sure if there is anything else i should be checking. I’m actually wondering if i still have issues with protools that have not been entirely resolved from the glitch i had the other day. what are your thoughts there. Think popper bear thought about a couple of things in the option menu i should have a look at. what are they exactly. Anything else worth looking at.

Re: can not delete audio
I've been having the same issue. When I load a new project I select my track and then make a selection. The selection definitely has been made. But when I try to delete the audio, nothing happens. Cut and paste are also dimmed. The only way I've managed to get it working is to interact with the tracklist table and just to press control semi colon. I seen to remember that this changes the tracks selected. After this. The delete function works. I have no idea why.

Re: can not delete audio
Steve, Make sure track and edit selection is linked under the options menu. Here's what could be happening for people seeing this behavior: If you open a session and you don't have an insertion point within the track itself, making a selection with only the counters or with the down and up arrows will not make a selection within the audio itself. What you're doing is selecting a range of time but not a range of tracks. If you have insertion following playback within the Preferences dialog (and you certainly should have that checked), You need to scrub at least for a moment to make sure an insertion cursor appears within the track's timeline. Another way to accomplish this is to create another track and use Control-semicolon. While this works, it's an extra track which is now created for no purpose other than to create an insertion. If you already have other tracks in the session, that's not an issue, of course, you can just use the command to move to the lower track and move back up with control-p. This is another reason why a control surface is indispensable for serious Pro Tools use.

Re: can not delete audio
Thanks for that Slau, very helpful as ever. What I liked about Sonar was that I could make a start selection, press space bar to stop audio, then skip forward quickly into another part of the project, then make an end selection. Pressing space bar would not get rid of my start selection point. This was very useful, especially for the work I do which is largely with speech. I also liked the fact that the space bar would essentially pause the audio, whereas in PT, the space bar starts playback at the selection point. There doesn’t seem to be a way of pausing playback and restarting from where I stopped. The closest I can get to recreating this is to press number 2 on the numeric keypad, which stops playback and moves the project on about half a second. The only way to be able to make a selection where I select a start point, stop the audio and move through the file quickly and then restart playback and make an end selection, is to unlink timeline and edit selection and track and edit selection. But you and others seem to warn against this. I don’t know whether there are anyways to do this. I suppose I could use markers to get past the issue of PT unselecting my audio whenever I change position and press the space bar. Sorry to be contrary. I’m just trying to get used to doing quick audio editing in PT, and it doesn’t seem practical to have to sit and wait for the part of the project to come along when I want to make my end selection point. I know that I want to cut the next minute of audio, so I don’t need to listen to it, I need to get to my end point quickly.

Re: can not delete audio
David, Control-n toggles the insertion following playback or not. Simple. Further, if you have an in point, why not split the region? Command-e will split the region where the insertion is. Then you can get to anywhere in the timeline by pressing asterisk on the num pad, entering the value and pressing enter. When you get to where you want to make the out point, pause the transport, press Option-Tab while holding down the Shift key to select to the previous region boundary (which would be the place where you split the region and that's it. If you need to select across multiple regions, just press those commands multiple times and you should be good.

Re: can not delete audio
Sometimes, when selecting tracks for editing, if it doesn’t work, toggle the selection of the track by using control p or semi-colon. This usually happens when a session is first opened. Tracks may be selected for editing, but that doesn’t mean they will work By reselecting the track, it somehow gets things working again.
