> Hi Ramy, I've answered some of your questions below: > 1- I'm using pt 12.7.1, do you advice me to update to sierra or not? The benefits of moving to Sierra outweigh any other issues in my opinion.

The slash key activates first the Start field, then the End field and then the Length field, depending upon how many times the slash key is pressed. I've typed out detailed instructions on this a couple of times on this list and I'd imagine somebody has saved a copy of that message so hopefully they can share that here. > 3- How can i move bar by bar? > There's no simple answer for that because it can be done in any number of > ways, depending on the desired effect.

Shift+Control+semicolon does not select all tracks. It extends the selection downward to the adjacent tracks below the selected track or to the right, depending upon how one thinks of tracks as being up and down or left to right like the Mix and Edit windows respectively. The Keyboard shortcuts pdf and the Shortcuts text file that I edited and put in the drop Box both detail the available shortcuts in Pro Tools and there's a chapter in the Reference Guide dedicated to shortcuts. > and, if not, how can I deselect all the tracks? You can interact with the tracks list and use the global command for toggling the state of an item and changing all similar items to the same state. In other words, Find a selected track and then use Option and click on the track. You'll need to use a physical mouse or track pad because VoiceOver doesn't support modified clicks. > > 7- How can i set the moving value from bar/beat to minute etc? Go to the View menu and navigate down to the Main Counter sub menu and select your time format there. > > 8- In pro tools 12.5, when i hit Command s, before closing, it saves > my session, and i press Command W then command q with no problems. > but after updating to pt12.71! even if i press save, when i press > Command Q to go out, it asks me if i need to save changes to my > session, why is this? Command+w will close the currently focused window. This is a change to the state of the session being displayed. So, if you save, then close a window, you've technically changed the session file so if you try to quit, Pro Tools will ask if you want to save the change you just made. The command to close a session is Command+Shift+w. > > 9- Is there a way to know what tracks that are armed or what tracks > that are selected? "am not using flo tools til now, I decided to study > pro tools 1st". Studying Pro Tools would really simply involve reading the manual so there's no shortcut. Unfortunately, a picture's worth a thousand words and, since blind users can't see that there are some record buttons armed and some that aren't, it means the process isn't straightforward. There are several issues at work here and I wouldn't be able to spend the time to explain them. For now, suffice it to say that you can arm selected tracks with shift+r. This is a gross simplification but it's pointless for me to explain it more than that because you're at the very earliest stages of learning Pro Tools and haven't read through the documentation yet. So, for now, I'd recommend reading a lot and asking perhaps a question or two from time to time as you go along. It's easier for others to help you if you demonstrate the effort on your part and keep the questions to more manageable chunks. > > Again thanks so much, and please, I need your help Your welcome and please help yourself as well.
