Re: scrubbing...
Hi Abdul, Editing in Pro Tools is a vast subject but I'll try to explain why what you're doing will not work. First, using the down and up arrows only works when the transport is engaged, either in Play back or shuttle mode. Once you scrub, the edit fields follow the insertion point which follows the scrubbing. So, in other words, once you begin scrubbing, your in point immediately changes to the scrub position. So, if you wish to use the down and up arrows, you have to engage the transport, use the down and up arrows to create the in and out points, stop the transport and then perform cut or copy or whatever you need. Here's what most people do: Play or scrub to the position you wish to be the beginning of the cut. Press Command-e to split the region. Scrub to the second point and use the same command for splitting regions, Command-e. Since you're at the end of a newly created region, press Shift-Option-tab to select back to the previous region boundary and now you can cut. Of course, if all you wanted to do was copy, then the first method is adequate.

Re: Audio interface
Hey, You should check out the Avid M-Box Pro. Not sure what the price translate to in pounds bout it may be slightly out of your price range. Howerver It's the same quality of converters and mic pre's that are in the new HD line of interfaces, and it has inserts which makes patching in external hardware a breeze, and 3 Pairs of outputs in addition so you can do a 5.1 monitor set up or have 3 different pairs of monitors hooked up to A/B/C your mixes on. Let me know if ou are interested and have any more questions on it.y On Sep 24, 2011, at 4:10 PM, Chris Norman wrote: Hiya all, Sorry, me again!

Re: scrubbing...
Hey Slau, So my objective was to precisely select an area for loop playback (at normal speed), a little more than a half second of the wave form, to alter levels on... Is there another way aside from splitting regions? I know my ear needs some training with the scrub wheel, but I'm not yet confident that what I select whilst scrubbing is is what I want playing in real time. Assuming there isn't another way, is it possible to play on loop a specific region?

Re: scrubbing...
Hey Abdul, By simply selecting a range, you can certainly loop play a region once you've made a selection. Be aware that, in loop play mode, the transport is really only playing the same range over and over again. It's not like creating a loop in some other dAWs. That's a different process entirely. Make the selection and play it in loop mode. If it doesn't sound right, adjust the boundaries until it does. Anyone want to explain about extending boundaries? Thanks!

Crash with Ivory
Hey: Ia anybody using ivory with PT? If so, when you go into the properties window and try to access parameters beyound the normal preset selection stuff, pt crashes right away.

Re: Audio interface
Ok, lets see how good the old memory is. Since i got mine, i kind of set it up and havent really touch it since, All my Usaula things are plugged in and ready to go. So the m-Box Pro is an 8 in and 8 out unit. the 8 ins break down like this. 4 analog ins that have XLR or 1/4 balanced/unbalanced inputs. INs 1 and 2 also double as high z inputs so u can use it as a DI and plug a guitar or bass right into it. Inputs 5 and 6 are unbalanced rca and or 1/8 in stereo input. Input 7 and 8 are the S/PDIF stereo ins that u will need the break out cable for. Outs 1 through 6 are balanced 1/4 jacks and outs 7 and 8 are once again the stereo S/PDIF. The brakout cable that you connect to the back of the unit has the S/PDIF in and outs and the Midi Ins and outs. Now the first 4 inputs each have an insert for them so u can patch in outbourd gear. the jacks are stereo jacks and thus you would need a stereo Y cable to use with these jacks. So you would plug the stereo 1/4 end into the insert jack. The left 1/4 plug into the effect input and the right stereo plug into the output of the effect. The way this works is a mono signal travels from the M-Box, down the left side through the effect and back up the right side back into the M-Box. U should be able to choose the inserts and options under the inserts or sends menu in place of plug ins. I will verify that for you when i next open up PT. Hope this helps and made sense. Also google the harmony central Pro review of the unit.

Re: Audio interface
Brilliant, cheers, I'll be buying one of them then, when I have the cash, get me VoiceLive 2 used as an external fx unit, that'd be awesome. Now just have to figure out either this automation for plug-ins thing, or else tweak the pitch of the audio in Goldwave or something, and I'm set!
