Protools11 shortcut problem

[Tim Liu]

Hi all:

Thank you for answering my last question, Your answers are very helpful to me.

I have more questions.

I would like to ask if I want to select one piece of music in the ProTools11.1 for edit/quantize, Which I press the shortcut keys?

Thanks

[Chris Norman]

If you select the track you want to select audio on, then it’s number pad /, then type the start range (on the number pad), then number pad / again, then type the end range on the number pad. So, if I wanted to select from bars 1 to 4, I’d do:

/1/4

From bar 1 beat 2, until bar 3, beat 3:

/1.2/3.3

HTH,

Hi Chris:

Thank you, but if I don't know the bar, I want to select my listen, Which key I can press?

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Well, if you don't know the bar, you need to go into the edit window with command+equals, interact with the counter cluster, then figure out what bar the audio is ranging from/to.  Then, you can go back and select it with Mr. Norman's suggestion.

maybe is the midi track so not work

I have other questions
I want to select all
but I press the command A is not work
which key can press?


thanks

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Well, first off, are you selecting the tracks from your track list table?
Just hitting delete, or hitting command+A isn't enough. All that does is
selects a portion of the session. You then have to also tell ProTools which
tracks you're menipulating.

How can I press?

[Chris Norman]

OK, to select tracks, you have three choices (that I know of).

1. Use the tracks table in either the edit or mix windows, and find the track(s) you want, and press VoiceOver Space on them.

2. Use control p to select the previous track, and control ; to select the next track. Either of these in addition to the shift key will select continuously.

3. Use a control service with select (sometimes called del buttons).

When you’ve selected the track(s) you want to manipulate, you can check your selection by pressing shift s (solo). This will solo the tracks which are selected, so you can ensure you got the right tracks.

Now as I said before, you can use the down and up arrows to select pieces of audio as you play - for this this, I believe you have to have “Link timeline and edit selection” selected in the options menu (shift /).

Alternatively, as Chris said, you can just figure out which portion of the song you want to select, and type in the numbers.

A final one, and one I really like if the numbers get too confusing, place a marker at the start, then set your play head to where you want to end, then you can just hold down the shift key while typing in the marker location. So, for example, if the marker is marker one, you can find the other part of the selection (this works backwards or forwards), and hold down shift, and press numpad ., numpad 1, numpad .

HTH, and sorry it’s so long winded, but I wanted to get everything I could thinkf of out there! :-)

Cheers, and good luck!

try the backspace key if delete doesn’t work. But you will have to first select the track and then the portion of audio you want to delete in one of the ways the two Chris’s described.
