Slau,
You're always giving such great tips. I had no idea about that little trick
with the plus or minus symbol. that's really really cool!

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must
love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if
you love one another.

Hi David,
You can use asterisk on the num pad to go to anywhere in the timeline.
Remember to type in the correct format (i.e. bars/beats, minutes/seconds.
etc.). The decimal will advance you to the next field. You don't need to
type the entire number. For example, Asterisk, 3, Enter will take you to 3
minutes. When entering seconds, however, if you want 30 seconds, you have to
type 30 and not just 3. Numbers appear to enter from the right column in
each field. You can press Enter on the num pad after entering the values.
It's not necessary to press Return on the qwerty keyboard. In some cases,
there's a distinction between the two keys' functionality but not in this
case.
There's another way to jump around the timeline and it involves relative
position as opposed to absolute position. If you want to jump forward by 3
minutes, regardless of where you are in the timeline, you can add the plus
key in front of the numbers to move forward by the entered amount or the
minus key to move backward by the entered amount. So, for example, let's say
you were at 1:45 in the timeline but you didn't necessarily know or care
what the exact point was but you knew that you wanted to jump forward by 2
minutes. You would press the asterisk, then plus, then 2 and, finally Enter.
You would then be at 3:45. To move backwards, press asterisk, then minus,
then the amount by which you wish to move backwards in the timeline.
All of the above commands can be issued while the transport is engaged so
you can very quickly jump around the session while it's playing.
You can set a custom fast forward/rewind speed in the Preferences window
under the Operations tab.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Hi, I've got an hour long recording loaded into ProTools. I want to
quickly jump into the audio by about five minutes. Is there a way to
quickly do this? I don't seem to be able to find a jump to time option
anywhere. Also, is there a way I can change the speed of the rewind and
fast forward so that it skips through the project quicker? Thanks.
