Issue Deselecting Tracks with Shift+Option+L

2020-10-09 Thread Alex Coleman
I don't think I'm having a Flotools issue, but yesterday, I noticed that when I had one or more tracks selected in a Protools session, FloTools would correctly report that they were selected using Shift Option L. However, when double-tapping that same keystrone to deselect them all, FloTools would

Keystroke to change active playlist not working

2020-08-12 Thread Alex Coleman
It seems as if the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+UP/Down Arrow has stopped working and will no longer change the active playlist for the selected track(s). I've got several vocal tracks across multiple projects on which I have tracked multiple takes on separate playlists. However, whenever I try to

Nudging MIDI Controller Messages Around

2020-12-08 Thread Alex Coleman
Is there any way to use the keyboard to change the location of a single MIDI control event in PT? It sounds like I have a sustain event that is overlapping into an adjacent patch-in, and I need to be able to basically locate that particular event and move it back in time, so that the notes in the

Accessibility of ProTools First with voiceover on the Mac

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I was wondering if ProTools first is accessible using voiceover on the Mac, just like the standard version is? Other than track counts and sample rate, are there any other major drawbacks to this version, if it is indeed accessible? Sent from my
