Oh, Snap! Breaking them off and finding where the pieces fly off to are challenges we have to deal with, though. The Lenox Fast Snap utility knife deals with these issues in […].

To turn on the Key Signature mode, go to the View menu and select Key Signature from the Rulers sub-menu or, alternatively, from the View selector in the Edit window. The Key Signatures ruler will then be added to the rulers at the top of the track section of the Edit window. In the Key Change dialogue box below , select the mode major or minor , the key, its location and range, and how you want it to affect the Pitched tracks in your Session.
There's also an option to specify for how long you want the key change to take effect: to the next Key Signature marker, to a selection, or to the end of the Session. Snap To Bar snaps the Key Signature marker to the bar line. Transpose lets you transpose existing MIDI notes on Pitched tracks up or down, diatonically or chromatically.
For example, if the Session is in C major and you are adding a key change to D minor, select Edit Pitched Tracks, Transpose, Up and Diatonically to transpose notes on Pitched tracks up a whole tone as well as lowering the third, sixth and seventh notes in the scale by a semitone.
Constrain Pitches To Key means that any diatonic pitches of the old key on Pitched tracks that are not in the new key are individually transposed to the nearest diatonic pitch of the new key.
This offers a very powerful range of transposition options to Pro Tools , but of course a straight transposition across all MIDI and Instrument tracks would wreak havoc with drum and sampler tracks, so you'll want to make these unpitched.
You can edit a key signature marker by double-clicking it in the Key Signature ruler, which will bring up the Key Change dialogue box to enable you to make your changes, before clicking OK to confirm them. Select Transpose in Key then adjust the slider or type a number for the number of notes by which you want to transpose the selection, and click Apply.
Both track-based Real-Time Properties and the Real-Time Properties window now have the option to transpose in key up or down by notes. Dynamic Transport mode enables you to start playback from anywhere on the Timeline without losing your Timeline or Edit selections. When Dynamic Transport mode is enabled, the main Timebase ruler expands to double-height and reveals the new Play Start Marker.
This Play Start Marker, visible as the blue triangle at bar 12 in the screenshot below, determines where playback will start from when the Play button is pressed. Its position is completely independent of the Timeline selection and can be anywhere in the Session — so if, for instance, you want to see how well a loop works, you could set the Play Start Marker a bar before the end of the loop and hit Play.
Then you won't have to wait for the whole loop to play before you can hear how well it loops back. You can now modify the Start, End and Play Start Markers during playback and Pro Tools will update automatically — no need now to stop and start playback to get Pro Tools to play a new loop selection. It's also now possible to click and drag to move a selection in the Timeline, and when the Link Timeline and Edit Selection option is disabled, you can Alt-click Windows or Option-click Mac and drag the Timeline selection to snap the Edit selection to the Timeline selection and move both in tandem.
When you move a Timeline Selection you will notice that the Play Start Marker automatically snaps to the start of the timeline selection. I would like to see a third option where the Playback Start Marker would move with the Timeline Selection but stay in its relative position, so that if I moved the selection up with the Marker one bar before the end, the Marker would still be one bar before the end in the new location. There are a number of keyboard shortcuts for relocating the Play Start Marker:.
This option lets you start playback with the Enter key and stop playback with the '0' key on the numeric keypad. This comes into its own when you want to audition loops from the Workspace without losing your place on the timeline.
To do this you also need to make sure that Spacebar Toggles File Preview is enabled from the Workspace 'toolbox' menu. Now when you hit the space bar it will play the selected file in your Workspace browser, and if you hit Enter on the numeric pad it will play the Timeline Selection in the Edit window.
Once you have the right loop, just drag it into the Edit window and you have it! These commands let you play the Edit or Timeline selection without repositioning the Play Start Marker. In Pro Tools 7. You can use the new Loop Trim tool to create or trim looped Regions. Now here is a really neat touch: if you position the cursor over the bottom half of the region you can still use the Standard Trim tool.
The cursor will change to indicate that you can Loop Trim the Region. Then click and drag out from the Region start or end and the Loop Trim Tool will create loops from the Region.
Put the Dynamic Transport Mode and separate Play and Stop buttons with loop audition in the Workspace together with the Loop Trim tool and you have a very smooth way of creating, building and editing looped sections.
In v7. Anyone else have this problem? Sorry, I can't won't share your pain s just yet. I'm particularly interested in anyone running HD with PT 7. I'm far too busy to get bogged down with a buggy version, but I'm experiencing a couple of things in 7.
Like making fades during playback. Never was a problem before this version, but now it can't fade a stereo file while playing back. Half the fade is rendered and the other half is missing. Brings up the Task Manager, etc. Pain in the ass. Really looking forward to X-form, and the other new plugins.
Let's keep the experiences coming, please. If things slow down here, I may jump in the pool. I had a lot of buffer error type stuff on version 6. Version 7. I think it's a better program than version 6, with the added stability and the extra features.
It has built in error suppression that probably solved a lot of issues for a lotta folks. Better with virtual instruments too. Not perfect, but better. Much better. My Studio. Hey, thanks for that, Alistair! Great story. I work with video every day, so that's valuable info. Limited exposure to 7.
