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?" Slau writes: 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. > Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility <[email protected]> wrote: > 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. > Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility <[email protected]> wrote: > 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. > Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility <[email protected]> wrote: > 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? > Hi' via Pro Tools Accessibility <[email protected]> wrote: > 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
