If a sighted person had 24 tracks and wanted to record on the first ten tracks starting with input #6 going through to input #16 in order, they would hit the command and option keys together while clicking the mouse on the input field of the first track and start with #6. I can't figure out how

Slau, as I do very much appreciate the fact that you're being very helpful I do think you need some etiquette lessons. From the beginning I stated I've only had PT and VO for three weeks so it should be quite obvious that I have very little understanding which is why I joined this group. I believe

Chuck, that sounds great, I can call you tomorrow if you're around at some point. Slau, I think we're talking about to different things. Scrubbing is where you're listening to audio and moving back and forth similar to what an old tape machine did years ago when you would stop the tape and rock it

Hey all, thanks so much for the great replies. Slau, no, I can't use a control surface in a live club situation. These are large venues 5000 + people and usually 5 engineers. I'm required to be quick while bands are setting up which is why my posts keep talking about doing things in a fast way. I'm

Hi Stephen yes, I'm doing exactly that but the mouse doesn't move a majority of the time. Mostly when I'm interacting with something like a tracklist or somewhere far in to a window. I think it's because VO is saying where I am but it must be off of the screen for themouse to get to it. That's why

Thanks Chuck, I'll try the gray bar tonight. Can you tell me if you've ever gotten a Protools Busy message that doesn't stop unless you force quit? I'm getting it often lately. Also, maybe you can help with 2 other things, #1 I frequently get apple menu is under the mouse no matter how things are

Hi again Chuck, thanks much for the tip. Can you just step me through anything I'd have to tell a sighted person about? Is this something a girlfriend can do or does it have to be someone who knows about how tracks look. Can I just tell her to look for the gray bar at the right corner and drag it a

Hey Slau, thanks for the quick reply. Sorry about the 3 posts already but I'm sure you know I'm trying to get everything working and trying to get excited about it. :) In outspoken what I was used to was in the small view, the #1 key would find a track such as Kick, then when it landed on kick jus

Hi Chuck, is there any way of solo safe toggle without the mouse? Also, you posted that you were able to select tracks without interaction by VO space on the actual track. Is that still working for you, not working with PT HD9.

Hi Slau, yes, the control P is cool for moving back or forth but I'm trying to get to all different tracks quickly which aren't in order and select them. I know option command f will let you type the track # but I like to go by name. In a live situation where you're not familiar with the band's st

Hey all, I just read something that said you don't have to interact in order to select tracks. That's not working for me in PT HD9. If I use VO space on a track in either the mix or edit window I get nothing but the error beep. I can select tracks by interacting but it does take much longer. I do h

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I'm from Canada and as far as I know we don't have any old PT 5 blind users around. My level meters were built by a tech to beep off of the peak readings. Not completely accurate all of the time do to transients but works great most of the time. In the real world I'd

Hey guys, I still have PT 5.1.3 with outspoken but I figured at some point I have to make the switch. I just got a Mac Pro 12 core and PT HD9. I see some of you on here have used PT with outspoken in the past so my big question is should I continue on with this quest. I feel very discouraged when I
