Hey:
Ia anybody using ivory with PT? If so, when you go into the properties
window and try to access parameters beyound the normal preset selection
stuff, pt crashes right away. What do you think could cause that?

Hey Abdul,
By simply selecting a range, you can certainly loop play a region once
you've made a selection. Be aware that, in loop play mode, the transport is
really only playing the same range over and over again. It's not like
creating a loop in some other dAWs. That's a different process entirely.
Make the selection and play it in loop mode. If it doesn't sound right,
adjust the boundaries until it does. Anyone want to explain about extending
boundaries? Thanks!

Hey Slau,
So my objective was to precisely select an area for loop playback (at
normal speed), a little more than a half second of the wave form, to alter
levels on...
Is there another way aside from splitting regions? I know my ear needs
some training with the scrub wheel, but I'm not yet confident that what I
select whilst scrubbing is is what I want playing in real time.
Assuming there isn't another way, is it possible to play on loop a
specific region?

Hi Abdul,
Editing in Pro Tools is a vast subject but I'll try to explain why what
you're doing will not work.
First, using the down and up arrows only works when the transport is
engaged, either in Play back or shuttle mode. Once you scrub, the edit
fields follow the insertion point which follows the scrubbing. So, in
other words, once you begin scrubbing, your in point immediately changes
to the scrub position.
So, if you wish to use the down and up arrows, you have to engage the
transport, use the down and up arrows to create the in and out points,
stop the transport and then perform cut or copy or whatever you need.
Here's what most people do:
Play or scrub to the position you wish to be the beginning of the cut.
Press Command-e to split the region.
Scrub to the second point and use the same command for splitting regions,
Command-e.
Since you're at the end of a newly created region, press Shift-Option-tab
to select back to the previous region boundary and now you can cut.
Of course, if all you wanted to do was copy, then the first method is
adequate.
HTH,
Slau

Hello All,
Ok, so here is another behaviour of PT that I just don't understand.
I am using an MC Transport to edit my Audio.
So I down-mark from one point, scrub to the next and up-mark, which
should (apparently) select what I have scrubbed through right? Well
assuming this is right, not so... At least, when I play back it's almost
as if I have not made a selection and PT plays the whole of the region.
Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong?
Abdul
