Hi Krister, You can certainly use memory locations to do that but, if you're going to cut or delete anyway, splitting regions is just as effective and you don't end up with memory locations left over. Of course, in the case where there are multiple region boundaries in between the start of the section and the end of the section, memory locations can come in handy. Even then, it's possible to select multiple regions with the Shift modifier. In other words, Control-Tab will select the next region and Control-Shift-Tab will add the following region to the selection. You can do this multiple times to select multiple regions. The same holds true in reverse, although you'd have to pass through the command because the Pro Tools shortcut for selecting previous regions is Control-Option-Tab which is, of course, the VoiceOver command for ignoring the next key press. Therefore, pressing Control-Option-Tab twice will perform the action. After that, you'd have to pass through the subsequent Control-Option-Shift-Tab. For one or two regions, it's OK but, if you need to select many regions moving backward in the timeline, knowing the start point or selecting to a memory location probably works better.
