Re: Moving tracks in the track table of the Mix window
Hi John, This got broken about 1 year ago. You're correct about mouse down then mouse up when you want to move the track though. I’ve been on this bug for a while now. The fix is coming up soon! :) 1 work around is to boot up an older PT version from last October 2022 or so and move the tracks then re-open it with the version of pt you're using. Another work around I got from Mike Lockett is to do a find for the track “command option f” and after that the track will move up or down most of the time.

Moving tracks in the track table of the Mix window
Hi, This might be a dum question, but I do not remember how to move tracks up or down with a keystroke. :) I tried to move by using VO comma and VO period, and control-shift-option-command to hold and release the mouse, but was not able to move the track. Any suggestions? Best, John André -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Moving tracks from a zoom F6 to ProTools
Hey guys, I have a zoom F6 multi track recorder And I want to know how to move the tracks from the Sd card that’s in it that’s removable to pro tools to work on them. I should let you know also that the tracks did get moved from the SD card to a external hard drive that I have for my Mac. If it’s easier to move them from there that’s fine.

Re: moving tracks again
Hey chris. thanks for this.Actually i gave this a run. But it does work for some of the tracks in the project, but not others. I added new tracks to the session this afternoon and all the new tracks will not let me move them. when after issuing the vo command f 5 when ever I hit mouse down it says mouse down on edit then the name of the song i’m working on. Very weird i’ve not seen this before. I hope i can get around this, as without this it’s very hard to mix with tracks all over the place. Thanks for your thoughts Chris. Should be useful in the feature.

Re: moving tracks again
Are you sure you have your mouse pointer set to follow your Voiceover cursor? Before doing your mouse down, and your mouse up, try doing a VO+Command+F5 to route your mouse pointer to the current item. That's the only thing I can possibly think of. Chris.

Re: moving tracks WAS: Structure - Korg M3 and Motif XS patches
In sessions where there are a ton of tracks, I've come up with a workflow that works for me. I often work with large session files where I'm constantly having to move tracks. Apart from the sheer time it takes to navigate down the tracks list with VoiceOver, one of the main concerns is that, once tracks are below the visible scroll area, they are selectable with VoiceOver but dragging doesn't work because the mouse pointer doesn't click in the right spot as the tracks are off-screen. One aspect of the tracks list table that works in our favor is that, when multiple tracks are selected and one of those tracks is moved, all of the selected tracks end up in a continuous list together with the track that was dragged. Thus, if you have tracks that are at the bottom of a list of a hundred tracks, you can select the tracks you wish to move, then navigate to the top of the tracks table, select one of the top tracks and drag it one notch up. The selected tracks from the bottom of the list instantly pop up toward the top of the list, right underneath the track that was just dragged. Dragging tracks to the bottom of the list is easier, only because when you drag from the top down, the window scrolls as soon as the dragging mouse reaches the bottom of the scroll area. Dragging tracks to the middle of a list of a hundred tracks is a little trickier. In that case, you'll need to do it within the mixer area itself. Let's say you wanted to drag tracks 90 to 99 to reside in front of track 49. It's easiest to do this by showing tracks 48 and 49 and tracks 90 through 99. With tracks 90 through 99 selected, interact with the channel strip of track 90 and move down to the track name. Issue a mouse-down command and stop interacting with the track. Navigate to Track 48 and mouse up. The tracks should now jump in front of track 49. This assumes you have your mouse pointer following the voiceOver cursor. I demoed this method on the Roger group some months ago but I'm not sure if anybody archived it. I can gladly record an mp3 of the process if anybody is interested. Hope that helps a bit. Slau P.S. Yeah, that missing files dialog isn't fun. Luckily, I rarely encounter it but, when it comes up, it's kind of a drag, so to speak. > On Feb 2, 2017, at 7:46 PM, 'Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility > wrote: > > Martin, yes, don't bother downloading those because it's nearly impossible to > get the loops working correctly for the patches.

Re: moving tracks again
Hi Steve, Glad it worked. I've also had success in the Mix window by showing only the track or tracks I wish to move and the track in front of which I wish to move. Making sure only the tracks that are supposed to move are selected, I interact with one of the selected tracks, navigate to the bottom of the channel strip where the name of the track is displayed and perform a mouse-down command. I then stop interacting with the track and navigate to the track in front of which I want to drop the selected tracks and do a mouse-up command. This has worked for me every time I've attempted it.

Re: moving tracks again
Hi Steve, Sometimes when trying to move a track that's way down the list of a session with a larger number of tracks, it can be challenging because, as you know, VoiceOver sees things that are not necessarily visible on screen and, when you use the mouse-down command, you could be clicking and dragging but not on a part of the screen that has the track you wish to drag in plain view. If that's the case and you do have a track toward the bottom of the list that you wish to move up, try this slightly unorthodox approach: Select all of the tracks before it, go to the top track and use the mouse-down command and drag to the track that appears below the track you wanted to move up. In the process of dragging down, I believe the window naturally scrolls. In the end, what you're doing has the same effect of moving the track up but what you've actually done is moved all of the other tracks down below it—six of one, half a dozen of the other. Let me know if that works. I'm stepping out to go buy a new iPhone but I'll check back in a while to see if it worked.

problems moving tracks explained
For those who followed Chad's question about not being able to move a track, here's an explanation of what I believe to be the problem and a solution. Chad sent me his Pro Tools file and I had a look at it. As I've said before, the number one reason why moving tracks or mouse clicking occasionally doesn't work with VoiceOver is because there's a dialog or window obscuring the underlying UI element. In Chad's situation, this wasn't the case. The issue, it seems, is that there are over 70 tracks in the session. The Tracks List table is capable of displaying perhaps 32 or so at best. Visually, there's a scroll bar to expose the invisible tracks. With a physical mouse click and drag, moving up or down that table will automatically scroll the list. As you probably know, VoiceOver is capable of seeing items despite they're being hidden and so, when you have 70 tracks and you're trying to move the fifty-ninth track, even though VoiceOver is reading the name and it appears that you're focused on it, it's actually out of view and performing a mouse click yields an undesirable effect like bringing up the Groups List pop-up menu. So, here's how I got around the problem and this should work in similar circumstances: Hide all other tracks and show only the track you wish to move and the track in front of which you wish to move. That sounds confusing, I know. Let's say you want to move track 59 to follow track 51, you would only show tracks 59 and 52. When you drag a track "over" another, it will jump in front of that track so, if you want to follow track 51, you need to drag to track 52 and the dragged track will jump in front of 52 or, in other words, after track 51. Next, make sure track 59 is the only selected track. OK, since you only have tracks 59 and 52 showing. the track list will still show all of the tracks but the mix window's main section will only display the two tracks that are shown. Move to track 59 and interact with it. Navigate to the track's name toward the bottom of the channel strip. A quick way to do this is to press Control-Option-End and move backwards. When you're focused on the name, issue the mouse-down command. Stop interacting with track 59 and navigate to track 52, interact and move down to the name just like you did with track 59 and issue the mouse-up command. It's entirely possible that it's not necessary to interact with that second track and maybe the drag will work as expected. I haven't tried that but I wouldn't be surprised if that worked just as well. Hopefully, that'll help others who might experience the same issues.

Re: moving tracks using Voice over
i’m also interested in this thread, usually i have no problem dragging tracks around, But i have had trouble in some sessions getting this to happen, i’d be very interested to know if there is something i have done to make it not work properly. as i say, i’ve only seen it in a couple of sessions, but it’s very annoying when it does not work.

Re: moving tracks using Voice over
That's odd. Technically, you don't have to have any other tracks shown. Send me a copy of the session file itself without any audio and I'll test it out.

Re: moving tracks using Voice over
Chad, Here is how to do this. 1. In the track list table, go to the track that you want to move, and do a mouse down command vo command shift space on that track. 2. Go to where you want to put the track and then do that same command again, but now you will here voiceover say mouse up. This should move the track to where you want it to go. Hope this makes sense.

Re: moving tracks using Voice over
I confirmed that there is nothing else open and I am still not able to get it to work. Right now I have only the track I want to move showing and it is selected. should I have the rest of the tracks showing?

Re: moving tracks using Voice over
You're following the correct steps but make sure you have no other system dialogs or notifications on screen. Use Control-Option-f2-f2 to bring up the Window Chooser. Chances are, something else is blocking your mouse pointer from actually clicking on a track. One more thing, make sure only the track you wish to drag is selected and no other tracks.

moving tracks using Voice over
Hello I was wondering if some one would be willing to write out instructions on how to drag tracks to a new location using voice over? here is my problem… the vocalist sang the main part of the hook 4 times. than he sang the same part 4 more times an octave lower. When I imported the Audio files they imported with the 1st 3 main vocal tracks in order with the 4 octave tracks below them in order. However, for some reason the 4th main vocal track ended up below the 4 octave tracks. I would like to move the 4th main vocal track up with the rest of the main hook vocal tracks. I have tried locating the track in the track list, routing the mouse with VO Command f5 , using VO, shift plus command space to lock the mouse arroing to the place in the track list I would like the track to go and repeating the lock mouse command. however, When I look at the track list the audio track I was trying to move is still in the original place. I have tried this with all tracks showing, just the hook vocal tracks showing and just the track I am wanting to move showing. still, I can not get the track to move. This leads me to believe I am doing some thing wrong. I have got this to work in the past but have been having trouble as of late. Not only with this project but with others as well. If some one could help me I would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Chad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: moving tracks
Hi Kevin, Unless I'm missing something all you half to do is to do a "mouse down" on the track and then navigate to where you want to drop it to in the tracks table and then do a "Mouse UP" and bang its moved! :) As I always say the tracks table must be resized to the right 30% for this to work. Also the track must be selected to! Unfortunately Avid has not fixed the fact that we can't see the move bar for the tracks table to move. This has all been covered in many past emails of course! I have my num pad set up for 1 of the keys to be mouse down and another num pad key to be mouse up which makes it very easy and rapid! Kevin why don't your reply emails contain the original text that your responding to? Just curious? ;) YMMV CHUCK REICHEL soundpicturerecord...@gmail.com www.SoundPictureRecording.com 954-742-0019 Isaiah 26 : 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is one. In OS 9, we could actually click drag on the track and move it. Voiceover won't let us do that for some reason.
moving tracks
Hi again, I have a much simpler question to answer. Can you tell me what the keyboard command is to move tracks up or down in the track list? I looked in the shortcuts file, and I can't seem to find it. Thank. Friendly, Chris
