Hi Slau, It's amazing reading your posts on pretty much every topic. Is it possible that you can hold a confrence call with us new users to walk us through a small session? I think this will be the best way for us to get started. Please let us know if this is possible, and if necessary, I don't mind paying a fee for this. I would really like to get up and running soon, and it would be great to be able to not do every thing by trial and error. Please let us know if this is possible? Thanks a lot. Jason
Re: tempo change problem
To be clear, Command-[1], that is, 1 on the numeric keypad.

I think you know how to get there after that. Talk soon If your able you can call me at the studio tomorrow. I am on the east coast of the USA.

I went to the options menu which is residing in the clusters set, popped up the menu and checked midi control cluster. Thought this might be in the mix window but then since transport is in the dit, traced back to main window, and looked within the transport cluster itself but nothing. Do i have to select a track before i do that? It's fairly straight forward here, and your explanation has no flaws so i don't get it.

Re: note editing?
Hi Yuma, Note editing is only accessible by scrubbing with a scrub/shuttle wheel. The MIDI Event List is not yet accessible. If you have a control surface, scrub to the note then hold shift while scrubbing over the note to select it. Alternatively, once you've scrubbed or shuttled within a track, you can use the Tab key to move to each subsequent note. Pressing Shift+Tab at that point will select the next note. HTH for now, Slau On Mar 17, 2011, at 11:21 PM, Yuma Decaux wrote: Hi list again, I've gone through quite a few things now in Pt, and honestly i freakin love it :) As usual though when one goes through a new set of tools, windows and panes, i've been having some hurdles. So maybe to set things straight right here and now, i got two burning questions which could, in practice, greatly improve my experience in pt. 1-Note editing: Let's say i've laid down some midi notes over 8 bars, and i'd like to make some changes note by note. Following the pt intro doc, i can make the pen selection, change edit view to grid, and set the ruler to beats/bars. However, when i go into my track in the main edit window, i can't find any grid for changing manually the midi notes i entered with my controller. IS this something that's not accessible yet? 2- How is track selection made? I actually go into the track cluster, and my setup presently has 3 tracks. 2 instruments and 1 metronome or click track. I can see there is a list of three tracks, but vo tells me blank for all of them. Pressing does seem to do something, but when i vo right back to the track, its still the same one. I know it's probably a newbie request here, and i apologize for this newbieish attitude, but you know when you got a new toy and want to go as far as sanity can in one go? Well that's what i've been going through :) Hope someone can shed some light Best regards, Yuma
Re: tempo change problem
Hi Yuma, My phone is in my signature that will work. Talk then Chuck Reichel 954-742-0019 www.SoundPictureRecording.com On Mar 18, 2011, at 12:08 AM, Yuma Decaux wrote: Hi again, Something must be wrong as all of what you said has been done. I sometimes get strange behaviour from ptools and perhaps a reboot might help. Instead of doing vo shift w, i go through the items list chooser so i can fast browse the elements on the screen, but no midi cluster. Will reboot and see if its there Ps: how should i call you?

Re: tempo change problem
Yuma, If all you wish to do is set the tempo manually, it's pretty easy. You can follow the steps Chuck mentioned but, rather than tapping the t key, you can simply enter a tempo value. One thing that's helpful in doing so is to click the numeric text of the tempo value in the Transport window, Command-a to select the entire value, enter the new tempo value and press Enter.

Re: click track
Hi Herman, Under the Event menu, go to Time Operations and there's a Meter Change option. Click on the value you wish to change, enter the new value, double check what you entered, press Enter twice. Your new meter is there. HTH, Slau On Mar 17, 2011, at 8:21 AM, HF wrote: It's in the midi cluster which I found thanks to one of Chuck's older posts. If you don't change tempo in the tempo window, then where do you change the meter? HF On 3/17/2011 7:58 AM, Slau Halatyn wrote: Hey Herman, Tempo is set in the Transport window. I don't recall which cluster but it's there for sure. Slau On Mar 17, 2011, at 7:56 AM, HF wrote: Where do you make the tempo for the session? Logic dictates that it would be in the tempo window but when I apply changes no changes are taking place. Finally got how to use the t key when shutting off the conductor, but that is not in the tempo window. When you turn the conductor back on you get the original tempo. HF
Re: questions about Pro Tools accessability
Hi Jake, Welcome to the list. Yes, Pro tools is accessible but, as you may know, everyone's definition of accessible is different. The question you ask is way too big to answer in general so, if you could ask very specific questions, it's easier to answer specific questions. Hope we can help answer your questions.

Re: tempo change problem
Alright, Just as i assumed, midi cluster doesn't seem to show up when its not there by default. I rebooted and now its apparent, with all the controls previously mentioned by Chuck. This is odd, but i guess something that might be necessary to report to the pt team? I'm going to look for a key wich refreshes the mac screen. Vo sometimes hangs the refresh of elements, commonly in the safari browser for example. Maybe this might resolve this issue. Best Yuma
contour shuttle pro v2 and pro tools
Hi list, I've got the contour shuttle pro for transport and editing tasks, and wondered if this is still compatible as of pro tools 9. I read around the net that it has been rendered compatible with pro tools up to 6 but from there the trail is lost. Anyone use this one for transport control and editing? I've also been looking into the following hardware for full control on pt: Euphonics mc mix v2 Euphonics mc transport I wouldn't want to shell out 400 or so bucks for the mc ptransport if the shuttle pro is fully compatible with pt, as well as for custom key mappings. Anyone successfully used the shuttle pro on their setup? Best Yuma
Re: contour shuttle pro v2 and pro tools
Hi Yuma, The thing about the Shuttle Pro, from my recollection, having used it years ago and having returned it, is that it basically recreated things one could easily do with keyboard shortcuts. One thing that it claimed to facilitate was scrubbing but it wasn't at all scrubbing. what it was was a detented wheel that gave you shuttle mode at various speeds but not scrubbing. Now, the 003 has a similar mode but I think it does it better, not as good as a purely smooth scrub wheel but still better than what the shuttle Pro had to offer. By all means it's not a bad product, per se, it's just that I don't think it really offers much. Meh.
