Hi Slau & Kevin,
I just had to use the old control ; a hour ago!
I had a single master track showing with a automated fade out that I
had to get rid of.
Check this out!
I had the master track with the fade out that needed to be wiped out
and until I hit control ; I could not get a edit selection in that
master track to delete the automation!
Keep in mind there was only one master track showing no other tracks!
WOOOPPEEE!!!
Talk soon

I think that, with the Control modifier, the keyboard focus doesn't
matter but if keyboard focus is enabled, simply pressing p or
semicolon will work. I haven't tried it since I'm so used to using
the Control key to be on the safe side.

Ahhhhh! Control P and Semi-colon. That's the command. I totally
forgot about that one. Does keyboard focus mode have to be on for
that to work? or is that a command that is now standard? Thanks so
much for this.
Hey Ronald,
That last option I referred to is under the Options menu right
below "Link Edit & Timeline."
What Kevin was referring to was simply the neighboring track. In
other words, by using the Control-; (semicolon and Control-p
commands, one can move up and down through neighboring tracks and
the insertion will follow the selection and vice versa.
HTH,

Hey guys,
First, Kevin, what does "adjacent track" mean?
And Slau, where can I find the " insertion follows track
selection"? I do find a few options which include follows etc,
but are with region, scrub, playback in it.
Thanks,
ronald

Slau. In Pro Tools 8 and above,, simply selecting a track in the
edit or mix track list will create the insertion. What you need
to do is select an adjacent track, then go back to the one you
want to edit and select it. By doing this, somehow it creates an
insertion point and you can start editing. I've never had to
scrub or anything. I just select, and start editing. Hope this
helps.

Can anyone tell me why I cannot cut or copy a selected range
on an audiotrack? I can cut or copy when selecting the whole
range with command+a.
In order to cut, copy or paste audio, there needs to be an
insertion point within a visible track. A sighted person would
click with the selector Tool or grabber Tool. Scrubbing or
shuttling within a track automatically creates an insertion
point. So, if you have a control surface with a scrub/shuttle
wheel, simply scrub or shuttle momentarily and then proceed
with selecting audio for editing. If an insertion point isn't
created, the range specified for editing simply highlights the
ruler without selecting any audio.
Is an edit selection something different than a record or play
selection?
It can be, if the Edit and Timeline aren't linked. For 99
percent of users, there's no need to unlink the edit and
Timeline. Make sure it's linked. Under the Options menu you'll
see an item for that and it should be checked.
And I wonder if the inserteon function with arrow down and up
should be working always? Cause it doesn't seem to work here.
It does work all the time but, again, one must have an
insertion point within a track for it to work for editing.
Otherwise, all you're doing by using down arrow and up arrow is
making a selection in the ruler. Scrub or shuttle first and
then the arrows will make selections within the track and you
can edit.
Also got mixed results with the numpad keys slash to enter
ragnes. Sometimes the star key seems to do the trick though.
The asterisk key will highlight the Main counter parameter.
since Edit and Timeline are linked, entering a value for the
Main counter automatically enters that same value in the Start
field. Make sure that when you're entering values in Start and
End, you press Enter on the num pad to complete the selection
process. Same thing applies to just entering a Main counter
value. Press Asterisk, enter the value and press enter on the
Num pad.
Hope that helps,
Slau
