Thanks Slau! I will go now and do it over, making sure I'm in the Edit

1. Make sure you're in the Edit window.
2. Get the insertion cursor to where you want the fade to start.
3. Control D to fade to start or Control G to fade to end.

Having problems with fading

[Dammie Onafeko]

Hi guys:
A great afternoon to you all. I'm trying to fade in and out, but each
time I make my selection and do Control D or G, nothing seems to
happen. Am I doing something wrong or what's the matter? I'll greatly
appreciate your assistance in figuring out what the matter is and
making headway in doing these fades when I want. Thanks!

Best,

Dammie

Keyboard

[jimmie smith]

 I tried to install an Apple USB keyboard yesterday. The box came up saying 
that the keyboard needed to be identified. After following the instructions, I 
restarted the computer. Now, the keyboard acts like it is sluggish. The 
voiceover keys do not work with the aero keys but maybe 10% of the time. Is 
there something I need to change or how can I get this keyboard to work. This 
keyboard has a number pad, and I would really love to use it.

Re: Help with Pro Tools First and VoiceOver

[Slau Halatyn]

Given that PT First is a free product, it makes sense that they don't offer 
support. Also, I guess PT First doesn't have a similar setup for documentation 
which also makes sense, given that it's stripped down. 
Here's an article from Avid that talks about Mojave optimization:

Re: For Dani, track selection clarification

[Slau Halatyn]

Thanks for posting that, Brian. It was Toby's question at the outset and thanks 
for questioning my statement. Indeed, I was in a rush and had arrow keys on the 
brain :)

Re: Turning off minute and second function

[Slau Halatyn]

Select the main counter format by going to the View menu, Main Counter submenu 
and select bars and beats. That's all you need to do.

Re: Help with Pro Tools First and VoiceOver

[Toby Davey]

Hi Slau 
Many thanks for your emails.  
I have tried to find the PDF documentation regarding set up instructions for 
optimising Pro Tools for use with VoiceOver and this may be a Pro Tools First 
thing but on my Mac within Documents/Pro Tools First there does not seem to be 
a Documentation folder. 
PT First does seem to be crashing a lot but that might be due to it not being 
properly optimised.  
I may have to consider purchasing the full version of Pro Tools but looking at 
the system requirements for the full version it states that it needs 16GB of 
RAM and my MacBook Pro 13” 2016 model only has 8GB of RAM.  
If PT First keeps on crashing I may have to try contacting Avid support but I 
know from past experience they don’t seem to provide telephone support for PT 
First. 
Best 
Toby
