2.  I know about using command+num pad plus and minus, or  option+minus or

Unless I'm being stupid (it happens regularly!), you said you were trying to 
delete something?

I'm not sure how everyone else does it, but the way I do it, is to select the 
audio, then press command b to clear the selection, which seems to delete the 
audio. That's how I've always done it. I have no idea if it's right, but it 
works, and the end result is that the audio is deleted.

Re: Huh! Now this is really strange! Anyone have any idea?

2013-01-10 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland
OK, but with all do respect, that wasn't my problem.

The issue isn't not being able to delete the audio.  The issue is why when I 
only have one track in the entire session, I can't delete anything as for some 
reason if there is only one track, that one track doesn't apparently get 
selected, so even though I'm selecting audio, I'm only putting a selection up 
in my ruler.  It's not literally selecting audio on that track to be deleted.  
I'm only selecting a from/through time, but not the actual data itself.

Re: Huh! Now this is really strange! Anyone have any idea?

2013-01-10 Thread Slau Halatyn
Christopher,

If you only have one track in the session, even if the track selection and edit 
selection are linked, you need to have an insertion point somewhere in the 
track. A sighted user can click on the waveform to create that point. For a 
blind user, you have the following options, each of which will create an 
insertion point:
1. Press either fast forward or rewind. If you have the option checked for 
audio during fast forward and rewind checked in the preferences, an insertion 
will point will automatically be created.
2. Use Shuttle mode. Press Control along with the numbers on the num pad to 
shuttle. This will create an insertion point.
3. Scrub. If you have a control surface, scrubbing will automatically create an 
insertion point.

Once the point is there, it'll stay active until you've closed the session.

HTH,

Slau
