Re: Alternative way to get tracks selected with out a controller.// Dragging tracks in the track table.

2011-03-20 Thread Slau Halatyn
Hey Chuck,

I read pretty much every single post here. OK, as clearly as you can, tell me 
precisely what is not available if one does not move the vertical splitter. I'm 
all for helping each other but I do think things need to be perfectly clear in 
order for us all to be on the same page.

Again, just to be perfectly clear on my end, I maintain that, with Link Track 
and Edit Selection checked under the Options menu, one can extend the 
insertion point through multiple tracks and the extension of the insertion 
cursor has been supported in Pro Tools since version 5. The Linking of Track 
and Edit Selection has been supported since at least version 8 if not sooner.

I've pasted your original post below:

 I came across this when I was in a session  the mix window had not had the 
 tracks table vertical splitter moved to the right 30%.
 As long as the tracks are showing you can use control ; and or control 
 shift ; to move the track selection down in the tracks.
 You can also use control shift p  to move up maintaining  the selection of 
 the track you started on.
 This makes it easy to  select any tracks that are showing in the session.
 These track  selections are reflected shown in the tracks table.
 I discovered this when moving a selection from 1 track to another in the mix 
 window.

'chuck, first of all, what does moving the insertion point have to do with your 
having moved the vertical splitter?
I now see, thanks to Frank, that this was essentially a continuation of a 
discussion on selecting tracks without a control surface that was started on a 
conference call. Your subject makes mention of control surface but your message 
doesn't. For those of us who can't always attend the conference calls, it might 
be helpful to say, within the body of the message, something like, for those 
without a control surface, an alternate means of selecting tracks is to Make 
sure 'Link Track and Edit selection' is checked under the Options menu and use 
the Control-semicolon and Control-p commands to move the insertion point from 
track to track and using the shift modifier to extend the selection. That, at 
least to anyone reading the message, would be pretty clear.
Lastly, I still don't understand what the discovery is. Were you simply not 
aware of this until recently? Well then, that would explain your message. 
However, it would be kind of surprising since we've mentioned this very idea of 
moving the insertion while track and edit selection are linked several times on 
the list. Perhaps you missed those messages.

Our mileages clearly vary, eh?

Best,

Slau

 Hi Slau,
 If you read the whole first couple of post this was in mind!
 You don't need to use this method if you get that vertical splitter moved 
 over to the right.
 It all becomes available when this is done.
 Lets help each other get a work floe going!

 Hi Slau,
 Have you tried to drag and drop tracks to re order them in the new PT while 
 in the tracks table?
 
 If you don't move the vertical splitter over to the right about 30% you can 
 not drag or use command click to select meltable tracks.
 Of course you need sighted assistance to use the mouse to click and drag 
 the vertical splitter over to the right!
 Thats why my templates all have the vertical splitter for the tracks table 
 moved  30% % to the right to make the visual and the other basic track 
 moving stuff available in every session i do from my templates.
 talk  soon

 Hi Frank,
 The command shift works fine when you have your tracks table spread out 
 to the right  by using the vertical splitter.
 When it is moved to the right with the vertical splitter dragging tracks

 What we have been looking for is a way to do multiple selection.  The 
 shift modifier, I am assuming, allows us to do this with out a control

 Guys, this is how Pro Tools worked since version 5. How did you extend 
 selections between multiple tracks before? I don't understand what the 
 discovery is. This is not new, except if you simply didn't know it 
 before but then it begs the question I asked above.
