Selecting more than one track

2012-03-16 Thread David Eagle
Hi, I have just listened to Kevin's tutorial on ProTools. He talks about selecting tracks. I am finding it a bit of a challenge. I am in the tracks table. I can select one track with VO space, but pressing Shift and semi-colon or Shift and P does not select the next track. Also, Kevin mentions not

Hi David, After you move the "tracks table" 30% or so to the right in the mix window you can "command click" with the mouse! on the tracks you want to select. Some one on the list had a way to do this without sighted assistance! Please Chime in? Check options menu for other track selections. Chec

Chuck, you respond to every email the same way, and I'd just like to point that, that I've ignored you every time, and my Pro Tools works fineā€¦ Alls you gotta do is check the options in the options menu about linking things up, and you're god to go. I just checked the keys myself, and they worke

Hi David, If you want to select non-adjacent tracks without a control surface, perhaps the easiest way is to hide the tracks between the ones you wish to select. Be aware that the meer act of bringing up the contextual menu to hide the track will at the same time select it. regardless, when you

One can simply delete the group or make it inactive with a keystroke. Slau On Mar 16, 2012, at 12:25 PM, Chris Norman wrote: > Is it then possible to get them tracks out of the group? > > Cheers, > > Take care, > Chris Norman > Email and MSN: chris.norm...@googlemail.com > Feel free to follow

david, I had the same problem and Chuck was the one to get it to work. I understand Slau's idea but it's not very practical if you have to move fast. I can have 40 tracks loaded and thanks to Chuck select any of them in seconds for example track 1-6-10-20-36 can be selected while leaving the others

Actually, it is quite practical. Any tracks that need to be selected for editing are worth grouping, after which, one doesn't have to go through the process of reselecting tracks and can enable or disable with keystrokes alone. Further, it's possible to additionally hide or show the tracks with

Hi Sonar, After working with different producers on sessions the length of the track name seems to be a factor also. In other words the shorter the track name the less the Track List Table has to be moved. I came up with 30% to the right about 2 years ago and it works even for my long winded tr

Slau, sorry if my comment offended you I should have said it's not practical for me. In my case it takes much longer to hide and group because I'm usually not editing the same session or tracks which is why I prefer using the mouse to select only the tracks I need. The tone of your post sounded lik

No offense taken at all :) It's all good. I use the Apogee Symphony I/O which is a modular system with cards of various configurations. It has Mac-based software which is quite accessible. Most importantly, it sounds great. A few guys I know are also really into Prism converters but I've had no

Hi Chris, No, it's just that deleting a group is undoable. It doesn't delete the actual tracks. HTH, Slau On Mar 17, 2012, at 5:19 AM, Chris Norman wrote: > Hiya Slau, > When you delete a group, doesn't it delete the tracks in that group to? > > I seem to remember that Pro Tools gave me that

Excellent, thank you Chris, I'll give this a go when I get back home tomorrow. I'm sure once I get used to the hiding tracks thing it won't be too much of an arduous task, plus at least it's possible to do. I have a BCF control surface and my midid keyboard can be a control surface too, but I qu
