Re: Invisible playlist menu in edit window
Hi Slau, Thanks a lot for looking into this, I use PT10 with SL and the instructions you gave fixed the issue! :) I opened the session, selected the track, interacted with the track in the edit window, pressed control up arrow several times, closed the edit window with command W and opened the window again. Didn't need to reopen the session this time at least. Thank you for solving this issue for me! :) John André *** John André Netland - Voice/SMS/MMS (+47) 971 68 794 Visit online at www.a-pro-studio.no *** On 30. sep. 2012, at 01:57, Slau Halatyn wrote: OK, I've tried a few things and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's going on because it's a combination of ghost images and screen redraws.

The point is, the sure-fire way to get the playlist selector back and active is to use the Control-up arrow command on selected tracks, save and reopen the session.

Re: Invisible playlist menu in edit window
Hi John, Glad it worked out and hopefully it's the kind of fix that is easy enough to implement soon.

Re: quantizing a instrument track
When you've recorded, make sure the instrument track is selected by pressing shift s while it plays. This will solo the currently selected track. If it is not the right one, then either use control p (move up), or control ; (move down), to move to it. Or, find your track table in the mix window, and VoiceOver space on the correct track. Then, go to the Edit window, with command =, and select the bits you want to quantize, with any of the following methods: * Use numpad= followed by a number to move to the right place and press either shift enter to select from that point to the beginning of the track, or option shift enter to select to the end. * Press numpad /, followed by the start position, then numpad / again, followed by the end position, finalised with enter to make the selection. * Or you can just press enter to go to the start of the track, and press Option Shift Enter to highlight to the end of the track. Then, press option 0. Your quantize box will come up. You're looking for the popup called Combined Quantize. VoiceOver space on this, then find the devision you want, for example, 1/4, 1/8, etc. Below the list of timings, are some extra options, like dotted, and a bunch of other settings. When you've got the settings you want, hit numpad enter, followed by regular enter. Now your track should be quantized. If you want to do deeper MIDI editing, you can VoiceOver shift m on the name of the track in the tracks table in the mix window, then scrole down to Export midi, then edit the resulting MIDI file in your prefered MIDI sequencer. Hope this helps, because I'm nackered, and trying desperately to make sense LOL. Have fun.
