Re: SOme Questions Regarding Short cuts
Hi, I used the Freeze feature on my most recent project, and it turned out that short noise clicks appeared on some of the tracks. So I had to unfreeze those tracks. Not sure if this is a bug that’s fixed in the most recent version of PT. Best, John André On 10 Sep 2018, at 16:45, Slau Halatyn wrote: Hi Ramy, You can use Command L to lock or unlock clips.

Hi Ramy, You can use Command L to lock or unlock clips. If you try to delete or record, Pro Tools will alert you and you can either allow or refuse the action.

Hi Chris, Control Comma and Control Period move the insertion or selection earlier by the nudge value or later by the nudge value respectively. Control m and Control Forward slash do the same by the next greater nudge value. So, if the nudge value is one beat, Control Forward Slash moves by 2 beats.

Re: SOme Questions Regarding Short cuts
Hi Slau: Thanks so much for your Continus help. I have 2 issues here: 1- I understood the Record safe, but can’t i find a way to lock my Audio clips after recording? which means that they will not be deleted at all? the 2nd issue is the Control with M comma, Period etc. This is really great thing that i did not know before, but i usually set my Nuddge To 20 ticks or something for fine editing , and if i will use the Control with Period etc in this case, it will not through me to beat 2 in the same bar, so, what are your suggestions here? is there a solution for this? > On Sep 9, 2018, at 7:31 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: > > Hi Ramy, > My comments are inserted below. >> On Sep 9, 2018, at 11:32 AM, Ramy Moustafa wrote: >> let’s say command+ the transport key, does it mean the 1 and 2 in the >> Numeric Keypad or what? > > That would be the same as Command Space bar.

Re: Mixing my Vocal track
Hi Steve: Thanks so much for all your experience in this feeld. Concerning getting the Harmony Enjin, I think it’s not possible to get it these days, but I Have already THe Izotop, will give it a try. Concerning the Vocalign, before Perciousing it, I need to be sure that i can use it, i tried on One of my friend’s daw, and i can not quantize all my vocal tracks. Is there a demo for it from a blind Prespective?
