It's a pitty you felt like you even needed to answer that message Slau.

Wow, really? OK, see the comments below.

Dude, please calm down.

I'm completely calm. I don't know where this is coming from.

You're very argumentative in your tone and it was you who said
"Which version of Pro Tools included Shift-comma and Shift-period? All
the way back to version 5, there was no such control. Before that, we're
talking
Pro Tools 4 which was around 1997. Were you using Pro Tools before
version 5?"

Having had transcribed the pdf keyboard shortcuts from back in the day
when PDFs were still inaccessible, I never saw a shortcut like this. I
subsequently checked and, indeed, the command does work in version 5 but
appears to be undocumented, at least in the Keyboard Shortcuts Mac version
pdf. I was curious if that command went back to version 4, which I used in
school. BTW, you never did answer my question.

I explained in a very humble and nice way that you're completely wrong
about that and you flipped out and said
"I don't need to try it. I know how it works"
Slau writes:
I wouldn't have characterized your comment as particularly nice or humble.
I took it merely as a statement. That's all. Further, If you think "I
don't need to try it. I know how it works," is flipping out, that says
more about how you're understanding or misunderstanding my comment. I was
referring to knowing how fast forward and rewind works in the current
versions of Pro Tools.

Excuse me but if you knew how it worked you'd obviously know it existed
which you did not. You might say you understand the theory of how it
would work but how could you know if you said
"All the way back to version 5, there was no such control"
Slau writes:
Again, I was referring to knowing how rewind and fast forward work not
whether there was a keyboard shortcut of which I was unaware. My awareness
or non-awareness of a keyboard shortcut has no bearing on a function.
Incidentally, Shift-comma and shift-period work exactly like 1 and 2 on
the num pad as well as the dedicated rewind and fast forward buttons on a
control surface so I'm not exactly sure what you were driving at.

This list is for helping out and learning and I very rarely chime in to
contribute because I assume others will take up the task like yourself.
Slau writes:
By all means, chime in. Don't assume. Do you think I wouldn't love it if
more users contributed? Please.
Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility <[email protected]> wrote:
I enjoy your contributions but don't need to be patronized with you
saying things like
"Next thing, you're going to tell me that I can change whether the fast
forward/rewind buttons are
momentary or latching."
Slau writes:
The three letters immediately preceding my sentence were LOL. It was a
joke and you didn't take it as intended. Was LOL unclear?

Why not just take a post for what it's worth and admit you obviously
didn't know about this feature. Trust me, there may even be another
feature you're not familiar with so relax a bit and have an enlightening
learning experience whenever you can. My editing technique is very
different from yours but I wouldn't come on here and say you're doing it
wrong.
Slau writes:
Where did I ever suggest you're doing something wrong? I never implied
anything of the sort in any of my replies.
Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility <[email protected]> wrote:
There are various ways to achieve the same results in the same time frame
or quicker for some so what works for you may not work the same for
another. I would never make such a claim that I know everything and I'm
not saying you are either but we're all on this list and you are one of
the proverbial we on this forum.
Slau writes:
Indeed, I don't know everything. This was never a discussion about
technique. You went out of your way to point out that I didn't mention a
shortcut of which I was unaware, never saw mention of and personally never
needed to use. In the context of my recent audio demonstration I simply
pointed out that I was using Shuttle mode and that it suited me. I chose
not to use Fast Forward and didn't mention any shortcut and somehow that
surprised you. Then, you proceeded to coach me on making sure that I have
"audio during fast forward and rewind" checked in my preferences. Surely,
you know that I'm not a spring chicken in the Pro Tools world and, with
that in mind, don't you see how I could find that comical? Hence, my LOL
and the attempt at a little humor.
Dude, believe me, I'm nothing if not calm.
