Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility
I'm on Sonar 8.5, so anything after that, I'd have no idea. I've not even looked into it. It's not so much I'm quote: threatening to go back to Sonar. That sounds like a very strong word's way of putting it. But think about this realisticly: If I cannot accomplish the work I need to accomplish, thew way I, or the client needs it to be accomplished in one daw, then, don't you think the choice is, either get a DAW that will do it, or lose money? Sure there is make Avid aware, which I have and will, but I don't in the pro world have time to sit here on my couch and wait for them to do what they wanna do when they wanna do it, whilst I'm over here losing clientship. No hard feelings meant, just stating the britual truth that we need to consider.

Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility
Kevin, If I made it sound like the government was gonna drop a thermo nuclear bomb tomorrow and all hell would break loose, my apologies. I'm not saying we're totally s o l here, as you're right, we're not, but I just wonder how long we'll be able to use the work around you stated. I can't recall who on list said this about a week ago, but in P T 11, apparently, RTAS is totally! going bye bye, in his words. With this said, does this mean the framework wouldn't be there, thus, making it impossible to copy them over? Also where would one go in 10.0 to find the RTAS plugins to copy them and back them up both for archival purpose, as well as to paste them in over top of the A A X stuff? You also say the settings need to be moved to their correct places. Where does one find where that stuff is in the Finder?

Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility
Brian, You say Sonar now has all accessibility broken, I don't wanna veer off the p t topic, as this list isn't for the talk of Sonar, but real quickly, if you don't mind me asking, what about j sonar, are there no snap shots to support the newer versions after 8.5? Also, can one still use Sonar Talking, or has that also broken. Chris. - Original Message - From: Brian Casey brian_w_ca...@hotmail.com To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 6:39 AM Subject: Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility Kevin, I think this work around with 10.0 and 10.2 is what Stefan (apologies can't spell correctly) was refering to earlier in this thread. At least from what I gathered, I think he was suggesting while updating PT to uncheck a box that would install AAX plugins normally, which would then leave the RTAS plugs from the previous install of P|T on the system and available to use. Personally, as I haven't invested in PT yet I'd just be a bit worried that further updates would phase out RTAS plugs and AAX may not get ffixed, and I'd also be nervous that if I wished to buy a copy in the future, it mightn't be so easy or practical to get my hands on a version that isn't broken. Which are all valid concerns. But like you say, none of this is the end of the world, but Avid seem to be updating PT quite regularly these days, so things could slip away faster than expected and there might be even more playing catch-up to do in terms of gaining accessability. Then again, all this is still less damage then say for example the move from sonar 8.5 to sonar x1 on the PC side of things, which effectively broke all accessability entirely, at least until someone develops a product free or otherwise to address that. Your thoughts are appreciated on this Kevin, as I would view you as a professional very much reliant on PT now from what I've gathered. Unfortunately, for workflow reasons, financial reasons and probably a lack of confidence I'm still sitting on the fence about PT, but it's the likes of yourself that give me hope, particularly in the light of these small set backs as Avid make new releases.

As I've mentioned in the past, the product strategist who was handed the accessibility baton from david Gibbons has been inaccessible, for lack of a better term. After repeated emails and phone calls, I finally heard back from him. No surprise, he's on the road, as he usually is. The good thing is that he's finally responding. I'm just waiting to hear back on when we will have a chance to speak a bit. It will probably be either today, tomorrow or Friday. Ultimately, I'm hoping that he will delegate someone else with a little more time and lower-level responsibilities to interface with me regarding further progress. As soon as I have something further to share, I'll post as soon as possible. Slau

Re: importing clips without creating a new track
You can try importing the the audio to the regions list or clips list and see if you can follow the steps below to put it on the track u want. Note someone posted this to the list sometime in the past, just passing along the info here. Below are the steps I found on the internet for drag and drop with VO. I have a more streamlined approach, but as some of you may have slightly different VO behavioral settings, it's best that we start off with the more expanded but generic version. 1. Using VoiceOver navigation commands, move to the item you want to drag. 2. Press VO-Command-F5 to move the mouse pointer to the location of the VoiceOver cursor. You can verify you have done this correctly with VO-F5 to hear what is under the mouse. 3. Begin the drag action with VO-Command-Shift-Space. you will hear the click of a mouse being pressed, but not released. 4. Turn off Cursor Tracking with VO-Shift-F3. 5. Using VoiceOver navigation commands, move to the location where you want to drop the item you are dragging. 6. Use VO-Command-F5 again to move the mouse cursor to the location of the VoiceOver cursor. You can press VO-F5 to verify you have done this correctly and hear what is currently under the mouse. 7. Press VO-Command-Shift-Space to release the item being dragged. You will hear the click of a mouse being released. 8. Turn your cursor tracking back on with VO-Shift-F3. I have set in the VO utility that the mouse follows the VO cursor, so steps 2 and 6 are unnecessary for me. As is steps 4 and 8. So assuming your VO settings are similar to mine, here are my steps as it relates to PT. 1. In the Edit window, go to and interact with the regions list. Assuming the cursor tracking is on, you can use the up and down arrow keys to select a region, use shift + up or down arrow keys to select contiguous regions, or use a series of VO commands (that I cannot remember right now) to select noncontiguous regions. I seem to recall that the latter requires the temporary deactivation of cursor tracking. 2. Press VO + Command + Shift + Spacebar for the down click. 3. Press VO + I for the item chooser menu. Then start typing the name of the track where you would like to drag the region (narrows down the options, saves time). Pressing return or enter on the desired item (i.e. track) from the chooser menu places the VO cursor on the desired spot.. 4. For the release, repeat Step 2, and presto!

I tried the following: 1. imported the material and it appears in the cliplist. 2. after selecting it, turned cursortracking of, 3. pressed vo-cmd-f5 and locked the mouse with vo-cmd-shift-space. 4. moved to the tracklisttable and interacted with it. 5. selected the track where the clip has to be located, moved the cursor to the specified bar, pressed vo-cmd-f5 and unlocked the mouse. Now the clip is at the right position in the session, but there's also an additional track created. How do I manage to import audio from the region-list or from the finder without creating additional tracks or using workarounds like creating the tracks, pasting the material and deleting the track that isn't needed anymore? I'm working with PT 10.2, on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks in advance and kind regards from Germany Michael
