For Dani, track selection clarification
Hello folks, This message is for Dani in regards to his track slection question. I was having trouble finding the actual thread so figured i would post a new message. I spoke with Slau, and he meant to say control p and control semicolon will move the insertion point up and down the track list, and not control up and down errow. He had up and down errow on his mind when he wrote that. Just wanted to clarify that for folks.

Hi Chad, Don't reinstall Flo Tools. You never have to do that. This is not a Flo Tools command. It's a Pro Tools command. Under the Options menu, make sure Edit Selection follows Track Selection and that should fix it.

Re: track selection
That command doesn't exist, and is unlikely to be possible because PT doesn't have an API that you could send such a request to. When I end up in a situation with multiple tracks selected and I've lost track of which, I usually just hide all tracks, show what I need at the time, and start over. It's not as much of a pain as it sounds, hardest part here was adopting the habit of only showing what you're working on at the time.

Re: Novice User - Track Selection Issue
To retract the insertion cursor from the bottom-most track, use the keyboard shortcut Control-Option-semicolon. This, however, is also the VoiceOver command for keyboard lock. So, you must first pass the shortcut through with Control-Option-tab, then use Control-Option-semicolon to retract the insertion from the bottom track. From there, you can use Control--semicolon and Control-p to move the insertion cursor to the desired track for editing. If all else absolutely fails and, for some reason, you can't get the cursor retracted, create a new track which whill automatically deselect the other tracks and the insertion cursor will be in the new track. Move the cursor with the shortcut keys to the desired track. BTW, make sure the All group isn't enabled or else the insertion cursor will be within all tracks no matter what you do.

Re: Novice User - Track Selection Issue
Hey Slau, Just curious, what's the difference between that CTRL+Option+; keystroke to retract the insertion cursor from the bottom track and using CTRL+P to select the track above? I've never encountered the keystroke you mentioned, trying to think of a use case where it'd apply so there's more chance I'll remember it.

Re: Track selection
By default, a track is selected when it's created. It's not that every time you open a session, all of the tracks are selected. Just so you understand what's going on. If you've never unselected the originally created tracks, they will simply remain selected. One method to deselect a track is by interacting with a track (I find this seems to work somewhat better in the Mix window), going to the track name, routing the mouse to the VoiceOver cursor, holding down the Shift key and clicking once. This should deselect the track. From there on, you can use control-p or Control-semicolon to move your insertion point to other tracks. Make sure you have edit insertion following track selection under the Options menu.

edit selection versus track selection
Just a little clarification about edit selection and track selection. Track selections and edit selections are two separate things. A track can be selected without having any ranges selected within it. Track selection is used for commands like deleting a track, making it inactive, grouping, etc. These are things that have nothing to do with editing, per se. An edit selection is like selecting a range of text within a word processing document. Although most people now use Insertion Follows Track Selection, it's still possible to have an insertion or edit selection within a track that isn't selected. Regardless of whether one links the track selection and insertion, it's helpful to keep in mind that selections within any given track and selections of tracks, again, of tracks, are two separate things. Slau
Re: edit selection versus track selection
Hi Slau, That was already pretty clear to me, but you keep writing insertion follows track selection. Do you perhaps refer to the Link track and edit selection in the options menu?

Track selection
Has anyone figured out decent workflows to select multiple tracks? I can select one at a time from the tracklist table in either the edit or mix windows, but the control-click option-click and command-click tricks I was expecting to be able to perform don't seem to work. Any advice appreciated... Scott
