Re: portable interface recommendation
What was the model again of this interface? Is the control panel accessible to us? I'm sorry I missed part of the thread. Kevin, what would you recommend for a good option for a portable interface?

Re: portable interface recommendation
THe ones i recommended is the Tascam US122MKII or US144MKII. And yes the control panel on these are at least accessible on the mac, but you would probably never have to go in there. - T.O.M On Apr 6, 2012, at 3:25 AM, Brian Howerton bshowert...@gmail.com wrote: What was the model again of this interface?

Play Edit Selection
Hi Nick Slau, to Play Edit SelectionHit option Left bracket to play the edit. Talk soon Chuck YMMV On Apr 5, 2012, at 8:59 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: Hi Nick, Go under the setups menu to Preferences. In the Preferences dialog, check the box for Insertion Follows Scrub. Also, if you want the insertion to follow playback, there's a checkbox for that too but there's a keyboard shortcut which is Control-n. That'll toggle the behavior. One important thing to note about insertion following playback: If you make a selection within a range, playing back will lose your selection. When insertion does not follow playback, your selection range will be maintained. That said, an alternative is to use the Play Edit Selection shortcut (which I don't remember off the top of my head).

Re: setting initial time signature
Hi Christopher Slau, The click/count off is located under Set UP menu. After the set up menu is open, hit the letter c and Click/Countoff … gets selected. Vo space on Click/Countoff … and have fun! ;) 1 thing to remember!!! You must use the tab key to get any thing happening once your in the window. At least in Sunrise FL!

I don't know how to go about changing the number of bars for count-off as I rarely use that feature. I think that possibly a double-click just above that button might do it. I would route the mouse to the button and move it up slightly and try. Let us know if you're successful.

Re: Play Edit Selection
Chuck, You'll find a whole bunch of helpful keyboard shortcuts in the pdf which is included with the Pro Tools documentation. You can easily find it by going to the Help menu.

Re: setting initial time signature
Once the click countoff settings have been established, such as number of bars, etc, toggle it on and off with the 8 key on the numpad. Hope this helps.

An audio version of the Pro Tools manual
Sorry I missed yesterday's call but I tried to chime in around an hour after the start but everyone was already gone. What happened to the 3 hour great discussions? Following my big disappointment this week with losing both a D-command and an HDX system with a 96 IO, I thought of an idea. After seeing so many posts about the PT documentation I put together a rough draft of a converted PDF into MP3. I edited all of the hash out so it's pretty clear but it did take longer than I expected. I basically did it for myself because I hate PDF's with voiceover and I used a TTS high quality female voice which sounds better to me. Then I started thinking, hmmm, if I already have this I could charge $200 per MP3 file. Just kidding! If anybody wants it I'll send it over but for now it's just a test of the intro guide because the actual reference guide will take a year. :) If there's a call for it maybe we can work on it together. I can do all of the conversion and people can help with editing the 700 pages... Jesus, did I just write that! It's around 11 MB so if anyone wants to put it in a dropbox that's another idea. For now, email me if you want to check it out.
