Hi guys:

A marvelous Monday to you all. I imagine you all are doing well and
staying safe. I'm having some issues editing my recording. I just
finished recording voice over on my Mac book pro using Sm 58 mic
connected to ProTools through my Focus Right Scarlet. When tried
deleting, for example, after making a selection, the selected audio
won't delete. I then tried to copy and paste onto a track I created,
but nothing pasted. I've tried checking the wave form, quick nav, and
the mod, everything was set right. Does anyone know what I need to do
turn things around? I would be grateful for the suggestions , advices,
and insights into resolving these issues. Thanks for your time and
attention. God bless!

Best,

Dammie

Make sure pre-post roll isn’t checked.

Hello Dammie!

First select the desired track again by using Control+P and Control+Semicolon.
Than activate Shuttle Mode by pressing Control+Numpad0 and deactivate it by pressing Escape.
This will move the insertion cursor tot he right place.

Best! / Martin

Wonderful Wednesday to you all! Thanks John, Thanks Martin for your
2cents. I'm grateful for your suggestions and insights. I tried the
Pre/post roll, but to no avail. Same with the control P and control
semicolon. I've been trying the control P and control : before your
message camein Martin, but without the shuttle mode and escape. Just
before I came across your message, Martin, I looked into the Cursor
Tool Cluster menu in the Edit window and found that only Single Zoom
Mode is selected along with Link time and edit selection, so I
selected Grabber Tool Time and tried deleting again and it deleted. I
made sure the Pre/post role is off though and did the control P and
control ; again and I was then able to edit, from cutting to copying
to pasting, again. Thanks guys for your support. I'm deeply grateful
for your time and educated suggestions and insights. God bless you
all!

Best,

Dammie
