Hi Joy and Sean, Yes, the mouse pointer focus is sometimes quirky at best and intolerable at worst. Apple still hasn’t gotten it exactly right in that respect. As always, one has to be diligent about making sure things aren’t obscured by floating windows, dialogs, etc. The other day I realized that there was a system dialog that popped up unannounced and, of course, when bringing up the window Chooser menu, it didn’t appear in the list so I wasn’t aware of it at first. Man, sometimes you’ve gotta be a hawk, a blind hawk, to paint an ironic picture. Another thing you can try is saving the session, quitting Pro Tools and rebooting VoiceOver. I’ve found that this also helps when Pro Tools seems to loose focus with track selections. I mentioned it in the recent MIDI Event List mp3 thingy. Lastly, (and I’d do this even before necessarily restarting), it often helps to assign one send, for example, or an output assignment in the output window which will open the respective output/send windows. From there, you can use clicks and modified clicks to apply to all or selected tracks. For me, that method has never failed, not even once.
Hope that helps, Slau > On Aug 15, 2016, at 5:12 AM, 'Joy Bausch' via Pro Tools Accessibility > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey guys, > here's something I'd like your thoughts on, and as the subject states, it > concerns mouse-behaviour in PT. > Example scenario: I create 10 tracks to record a drum set.
