Ramy, Slau gave you perfect instructions, make note of them and follow them to the T. ----- Original Message ----- From: Slau Halatyn To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2014 1:41 PM Subject: Re: Editing questions
Hi Ramy, Track selection: Make sure you have Edit Follows Track Selection checked under the Options menu. To move the insertion point down to another track, thus selecting the next track, use Control-; (semicolon). To move the insertion to the previous track, use Control-p. You don't need to de-select tracks if only one track is selected. If you've created multiple tracks at once and they're all selected, you can retract the selection by passing through a keystroke. To pass a keystroke, press Control-Option-tab. Then press Control-Option-Shift-; (semicolon). This will de-select the last track. From there, you can use Control-Option-semicolon and control-Option-p to move the insertion to other tracks. Nudging regions is done with the plus and minus keys on the numeric keypad. Set the nudge value from the Nudge Controls pop-up button in the Grid/Nudge cluster in the edit window. To move a region left or earlier, use the minus key. To move it right or later, use the plus key. Regions must be selected in order for them to be nudged. If no region is selected, you'll only be moving the insertion point by the nudge value. There's a lot of information in the Pro Tools Reference Guide on editing, in fact, several chapters. I encourage you to read. You can't scrub without a scrub wheel. A sighted user can select the scrubber tool but a blind user would be shooting in the dark and it's impractical to try scrubbing with that tool. If you don't have a scrub wheel, you can use the shuttle feature. Control-1 through 9 on the numeric keypad plays back at different speeds where 5 is normal speed. Once engaged, minus and plus toggle the playback backward and forward. Once you're in the general vicinity of where you wish to be, press the space bar to stop. Now use the plus/minus key to nudge the insertion point by the nudge value. To change the nudge value on the fly, use Command-Option-plus/minus. The default values from lowest to highest are 1 millisecond, 10 milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, 500 milliseconds and 1 second. If you're in bars/beats, those values are different but follow the same principle.

But I still need to now: How to deselect tracks, how to nuddge via keyboard not with surface because I don't have jug wheel, how to scrubb. The most important thing for me is editing. So if you please, I need some answers to my questions.
