Keep in mind though that SSD drives only have a limited amount of write cycles. That's why I personally still won't do that. For thatreason, SSD drives are great for an OS drive or opperating system as you are not punnishing them in the same way as you do an audio drive. On 28 April 2016

Thanks a lot. Yes I am using the apple pro keyboard. I’ll try the tempo change thing on the next project. I let my partner do it. I’m doing a whole bunch of fifties oldies stuff, all in 12/8. Not very exciting, but simple enough to cut my teeth with PT.

Hi Gordon, Assuming you're using an Apple Pro keyboard, it's the slash key to the left of the asterisk and not a Shifted back slash. The first time you press it, it'll enable the Start field and you can type your values. In this case, 35 then decimal then 7 (no need to type a zero) and hit

After a long absence, I am finally actually doing a real world project in pro tools, v12.5. I have two questions. I am trying to enter values in the start and end fields in the counter display. I want to set the start time to the middle of a bar, 35|07|000. The time

Probably a mixer of some sort as most monitor controllers will only let you switch between different signals i don't think they will let you blei blend t If your interface offers direct monitoring you can probably just run the output of the mac from the headphon jack into a s spare pair of inputs

With regard to the battery, that doesn't sound good. Don't remember Gord saying anything about that. Agree though about the portability side of this and adding RAM etc to slightly older MacBook Pro's. Love my mid 2012 15 inch I7 2.7 ghZ. _ From: ptaccess@googlegroups.com

Putting in a 2nd Drive is no big deal, and fairly inexpensive. Lots of people perform the task themselves, but even if you use a third-party such as simply Mac, it will still only cost you a few hundred dollars. This is assuming you want to go for something like a 256 SSD. Eventually I will do
