Re: Reading counters
Thanks Slau. Yeah, that's all I know how to do right now. That is the way I've been adjusting the nudge value. My question is, how does one adust the grid value? Although, now that I think of it, is there any use for a grid for the blind user? Or does it merely adjust what lines a sighted person sees on the timeline? Regardless, is there a way to get VO to read what the nudge and grid values are? Or is the only way to know by entering a value? Thanks!

Re: Reading counters
The grid value isn't of much use to a blind user since it's primarily used for dropping regions on the timeline. It is possible to move selected regions by the grid value but nudge does the same thing if you're using a keyboard shortcut. While it's not currently possible to read the current nudge value, providing that you haven't changed the default, you can use Option-Command-plus or minus on the num pad to cycle between 1 second, 500 millisecondes, 100 milliseconds, 10 milliseconds and 1 millisecond. If you're not exactly sure what you're currently on, just a few keystrokes will ensure the desired level since the values don't wrap around.

Re: Pro Tools 10 and Mountain Lion
No sarcasm at all. I just didn't want to misunderstand anything since I currently don't use Mountain Lion.

Question about Pianoteq
I remember a while back someone mentioning that they had Pianoteq working on the Windows side of things but wasn't sure about how well it would work on the Mac in ProTools. They stated that on Windows, there were hotkeys to do various things like changing presets etc. I was hoping if any of you have a list of those hotkeys, you could send them to me off list, as I'm looking everywhere and can't find a list of them for the stand alone application. My e-mail is: ch...@clgproductions.com No, that isn't the address I'm writing from right now, but I mainly only use my gmail address for list traffic, not for personal correspondances. Thank you so much, and sorry for the off topic inconvenience. Chris.
Re: Reading counters
Make sure you're in bars/beats in the display format under the menus and then an eighth note equals 480 ticks, a sixteenth note equals 240 ticks. So, for a nudge value of a quarter note, you can either enter 0 decimal 1 and press return (this equals zero bars and 1 beat) or, rather than entering the value, press Option-Command-plus on the num pad five times. This will ensure you're on the maximum value of 1 bar, according to the default nudge values available. Press Option-Command-minus on the num pad twice and you'll be at one beat or one quarter note. Everything I've described takes literally two seconds, assuming you're already in the desired format of bars/beats or minutes and seconds or whatever you need.

Used Pro Tools bundle for sale
I know there are people here to investigate PT before purchasing, so I hope that you all won't mind me posting this bundle here for sale. It will be a great opportunity for someone. I'm selling a Pro Tools 9 license, as well as a license for the Instrument Expansion Pack. In addition to the softsynths the come with Pro Tools, the Instrument Expansion adds Structure, Strike, Velvet, Transfuser, and Hybrid. All of these are accessible except for Structure. It is still possible to select presets in Structure via some preset files that have been shared here. This Pro Tools license was originally $699. The Instrument Expansion was another $499. I'll take $800 for both, provided that you can pay via PayPal. I'll deliver to you the original DVDs for everything, as well as the electronic licenses. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Bryan
