OK.  There are all kinds of ways to do things.

Hey John,

My comment wasn't meant as a correction at all—simply a qualification. I use 
Shuttle mode all the time for navigating. I was merely mentioning one of the 
caveats of shuttling as a side note. Cheers,

RE: moving around a session in PT

[mcdiemert]

Yes, I have used this from time to time.  I suppose I prefer using FT for 
typing start values  rather than the star key, as I don’t have to mentally keep 
track of where I am, since a single press of command f1 gives me my current 
start time.

Hi Matt,

Although using the Start field isn't really different from what Steve mentioned 
about using the asterisk, your reply brought another thing to mind and that is 
the relative jump using the plus key.

 

So, where-ever you are in the timeline while playing back, you can jump ahead 
or back by any relative value by pressing asterisk then plus or minus on the 
numeric keypad then pressing Enter. The transport doesn't pause but simply 
jumps right to the relative position. For example, if your current playback 
cursor is approaching bar 33 and you press the asterisk right around that point 
and press plus then 16 then Enter, the transport will instantly jump to around 
bar 49 and continue playback.

 

It's worth noting that, while pressing minus instead of plus will move 
backwards rather than forwards, this only works in minutes and seconds. When in 
bars and beats, there are sometimes negative bar numbers so it doesn't work 
like it does in Minutes/Seconds view. I've proposed that Avid implement a 
condition whereby a plus ahead of a minus will give the intended result like 
adding a negative number rather than adding a positive number. Not sure if 
that'll ever go through.

 

Anyway, just another potential means to navigate quickly.

 

Slau

Hi Steve,

 

If you have the preference checked for "audio during fast forward and rewind," 
you can advance while hearing brief snippets while the transport forwards and 
rewinds through the timeline. Another option is to change your nudge value to 
something like 4 or eight bars and advance the insertion cursor by that value 
with a keyboard shortcut. You can change the nudge value by going to the Edit 
window, navigating over to the Grid/Nudge cluster, interacting, going over to 
the nudge custom value, VO-click on it, press Delete or decimal, enter the 
bar/beat/tic value and press Return. If you use Flo Tools, double-tap 
Command+f7, enter the value and press Return.

HTH,

Slau

Re: moving around a session in PT

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi John,

Using this type of shuttling does work quite well. The only limitation is that 
it's limited to a maximum of two channels of audio. For mono or stereo 
material, it's great—quick and easy but, if you're trying to get through a 
session file with multi-tracked instrumentation, you'll hear only the selected 
track or perhaps two tracks within a group of drums or whatever. Just throwing 
that in for what it's worth.

Re: moving around a session in PT

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Matt,
Although using the Start field isn't really different from what Steve mentioned 
about using the asterisk, your reply brought another thing to mind and that is 
the relative jump using the plus key.

So, where-ever you are in the timeline while playing back, you can jump ahead 
or back by any relative value by pressing asterisk then plus or minus on the 
numeric keypad then pressing Enter. The transport doesn't pause but simply 
jumps right to the relative position. For example, if your current playback 
cursor is approaching bar 33 and you press the asterisk right around that point 
and press plus then 16 then Enter, the transport will instantly jump to around 
bar 49 and continue playback.

It's worth noting that, while pressing minus instead of plus will move 
backwards rather than forwards, this only works in minutes and seconds. When in 
bars and beats, there are sometimes negative bar numbers so it doesn't work 
like it does in Minutes/Seconds view. I've proposed that Avid implement a 
condition whereby a plus ahead of a minus will give the intended result like 
adding a negative number rather than adding a positive number. Not sure if 
that'll ever go through.

Anyway, just another potential means to navigate quickly.

Re: moving around a session in PT

[John Covici]

What I have been doing is using control key + numpad 1 through 9,
gives me audio while its going and I can vary the speed, it works
great.

RE: moving around a session in PT

[mcdiemert]

Just piggy backing on this.  One thing I often do is with flotools, command f1 
twice quickly, and type in a start value.  SO If I want to jump 10 or 20 bars 
I’ll just change my start value by those amounts.

Hi Steve,

 

If you have the preference checked for "audio during fast forward and rewind," 
you can advance while hearing brief snippets while the transport forwards and 
rewinds through the timeline. Another option is to change your nudge value to 
something like 4 or eight bars and advance the insertion cursor by that value 
with a keyboard shortcut. You can change the nudge value by going to the Edit 
window, navigating over to the Grid/Nudge cluster, interacting, going over to 
the nudge custom value, VO-click on it, press Delete or decimal, enter the 
bar/beat/tic value and press Return. If you use Flo Tools, double-tap 
Command+f7, enter the value and press Return.

HTH,

Hi Steve,

If you have the preference checked for "audio during fast forward and rewind," 
you can advance while hearing brief snippets while the transport forwards and 
rewinds through the timeline. Another option is to change your nudge value to 
something like 4 or eight bars and advance the insertion cursor by that value 
with a keyboard shortcut. You can change the nudge value by going to the Edit 
window, navigating over to the Grid/Nudge cluster, interacting, going over to 
the nudge custom value, VO-click on it, press Delete or decimal, enter the 
bar/beat/tic value and press Return. If you use Flo Tools, double-tap

moving around a session in PT

Hey guys. I’m just wondering if there is an easy way of skipping through a 
session in PT. I have afeeling this may not be possible. How ever is there a 
way of skipping quickly through a session by more than one bar at a time. I 
know the number 1 and two keys on the num pad skip through bar by bar But is 
there any short cut or other way for scrubbing or skipping in larger 
increments. I know I can use the star key and move forward and backward that 
way. But it would be great if there is a quick and easy way to search through a 
session. If this is not possible. alll good.Just worth an ask.
