From there, one can cut, copy paste, etc. Now, if the insertion point follows playback, as soon as you play the selection, the selection is actually lost. It's very obvious to a sighted user but it can be confusing to a blind user. Here are two things one can do for alternatives: 1. If you really want to get into that other mode where it just pauses when you hit the space bar, pressing Control-n toggles this playback mode and the preference is also in the SetupsPreferences dialog and is called Insertion Follows Playback. 2. If the transport is engaged, and you find a spot you want to start playback from, simply pressing the down arrow will automatically populate the start field with the current transport value. In other words, if, while the transport is engaged, you press the down arrow at the 2 minute

That said, it has an Express 34 slot so I can hook it up to a Magma expansion chassis which houses the HD PCI cards if I need a portable solution for remote sessions. I'm preparing to buy a Mac Pro. Currently, the HD system is running off a dual processor G4. Slau On Jul 17, 2010, at 10:40 PM, Michael Huckabay wrote: Hi Slau I have a ? for you you use a macbook pro in your studio is that right?

On 2010-07-17, at 1:17 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: Hey Clarence, Control-Space Bar actually puts the transport into a Pause with Pre-Prime for instant playback. This is what that means: If you have a large session, say, 24 tracks record enabled or even on an LE system, say, 16 tracks ready to record in QuickPunch mode, the system is going to allocate drive space, prepare voices, automation data (if there is any) and a few other things. If you simply start the recording or even playback, there will be a pause before the transport engages. This can vary from a second to several seconds if it's a particularly large session. In order to have a more immediate start to playback, it's possible to pre-prime the deck, as they say, for instant playback or recording. Pressing Control-Space Bar puts Pro Tools into this Pause mode. Simply pressing the Space Bar after that instantly starts playback. Further, Control-Command-Space Bar puts PT into Pre-Primed Record mode so pressing Space Bar after that instantly puts the Transport into record mode. Pausing the transport, the way most people think of pausing something, is a bit different. Pro Tools has two main behaviors: 1. Is for the transport to remember the start position and, if the transport is stopped, it will keep resuming playback from the same start position unless that start position is specifically changed, and 2. Insertion following Playback which means that wherever you press the space bar, the transport will keep the insertion point there and, upon pressing space bar again, will continue playing from that location. I would strongly suggest using the default method which is for the insertion point to not follow playback. Here's the reason. When you make a selection, pressing the space bar will play only the selected range. No matter how many times you press play, it'll only play the selected range. This is a good means to verify your selection range quickly without even having to look at the start, End and Length fields in the edit window. From there, one can cut, copy paste, etc. Now, if the insertion point follows playback, as soon as you play the selection, the selection is actually lost.
