Re: finding out all the key comands for protools9 and lurning them?
Hi Frank, Slau and all, I'm kind of with Slau on the basis that e-mail can get these things done better quite often, though perhaps sometimes slower. Slau and others already dedicate quite a bit of time to answering questions by e-mail, and e-mail is very useful for them and us, because it doesn't lock in anyone having to be tuned in at the same time necessarily. I'm just spekaing particularly from my experiences learning about things on online forums where this kind of text based back and forth tends to yield steady and consistant results. Just my two cents, PTAccess is great thus far I think we'll all agree, in both meanings!

Some podcasts would be nice. I'm learning about PT and I don't even have my software or any direct units yet. It is all appreciated.

finding out all the key comands for protools9 and lurning them?
hey all how would i go about finding out the key commands for protools9? are they speshail voice over ones? and could i control protools with a laptop key bord or would i need a desktop keybord? your help with these questions would be most welcom!! kind regards trahern.
Re: finding out all the key comands for protools9 and lurning them?
Hi trahern, Pro Tools comes with an enormous amount of documentation in pdf form. There's a Pro Tools Keyboard Shortcuts document that lists tons of commands. I know that Avid has these documents on their site although they might not be terribly easy to find. At any rate, you might be able to find it relatively easily by doing a Google search. Let us know if you can't find it.
