Re: mouse tracking in Yosemite and the Apple Magic Track Pad
Hi, I usually upgrade to a new version of the Mac operating system by partitioning my hard drive into the number of partitions I will need for backward compatibility and in the installer for the new version press the show all disks button then name the partitions with the version of the operating system I am using so if I need to go back it is just a matter of going into start up disk and changing the disk then restarting. This task might be the best for all users but I find it gets the job done for me.

There's no particular method about the behavior in Pro Tools once you tether the mouse pointer except that sometimes adding the shift modifier to perform a physical mouse click seems to work a little better depending on the situation. The steps I outlined about use of the Track Pad are simply just an alternative to using a physical mouse.

Under Windows you have to install the corresponding driver and an app to set the buffer size. I don't know this app. The Duo could be the same, but I never tried.

Ok, thanks, I like it, sounds practical.

RE: mouse tracking in Yosemite and the Apple Magic Track Pad
Hi Slau! If you set the mouse pointer to follow the VoiceOver cursor, simply holding down the modifier and tapping the Track Pad anywhere will perform the modified click. Double or single tap?

Re: mouse tracking in Yosemite and the Apple Magic Track Pad
Single tap works best because you can then use VoiceOver to navigate menus and submenus. Without the settings as I've outlined, a single tap would only open the menus and close them as soon as you lifted your finger off the track pad. For Command-clicking a Solo button, it's not an issue but for performing global shortcuts with modifiers that apply to assigning outputs, for example, you'd need to traverse the pop-up menu. The settings as I've described will work well with VoiceOver. Slau On Mar 13, 2015, at 4:37 AM, Martin Sopart m...@cakewalker.de wrote: Hi Slau!

Re: mouse tracking in Yosemite and the Apple Magic Track Pad
There's much conjecture about what is the best way to upgrade. One can certainly just upgrade to Yosemite via Software Update. Others insist that a clean install is better. For updates like this, I've always had good results by doing a clean install and importing data from a backup drive. For the first time, however, I set up this particular Mac from scratch without importing anything. It's the studio machine and has no personal data on it so it was fairly easy. Most people on the list, however, might be using their machines for personal stuff as well so importing data from a backup drive is probably much more sensible.

Re: mouse tracking in Yosemite and the Apple Magic Track Pad
They're aware and nobody every knows if and when Apple will do anything about any bugs. That's just the way Apple is. There's no particular method about the behavior in Pro Tools once you tether the mouse pointer except that sometimes adding the shift modifier to perform a physical mouse click seems to work a little better depending on the situation. The steps I outlined about use of the Track Pad are simply just an alternative to using a physical mouse.

Re: effect plug ins questions
Hi Tim, You'll be able to do most of what you need with the stock plug-ins included with Pro Tools. I haven't used waves plug-ins for several years but, as I understand, they're currently accessible.

Re: the ilok problems
Hi Tim, The iLok License Manager will most likely become accessible later this year. For now, you'll need sighted assistance to transfer licenses to your iLok key.

Re: mouse tracking in Yosemite and the Apple Magic Track Pad
Any savvy user will understand it is easier to deal with the trackpad then put up with moving a mouse. I usually tether my mouse anyway to keep from having to route it to the voiceover cursor.
