As a blind engineer working on establishing a project studio after losing a lot of vision I have found your information invaluable. I have had to go from Cubase (when my vision was much better) to Sonar and now I have finally made the transition to pro tools now that the hardware has been decoupled. I have been pouring through your podcasts and texts to try to see what I am missing, but I am having a major issue with Pro Tools that is really hindering me. For some reason I am not able to select a track without physically clicking the mouse on the wave form of the track (which requires me to use the zoom feature and takes a while). It says selected in the track list but when doing any operations it is still based on the last waveform I had clicked on. Even your shortcuts of Shift and R, M or S are stuck on whatever the last waveform I physically clicked on. I have even tried selecting nothing and then starting over and it does not seem to make a difference. Just to give you a quick example, if I have a piano, guitar and bass tracks, if I click on the waveform related to the bass, then even if I select the piano from the track list and it says "Selected" muting, soloing and selections are still pointed to the bass track. If I select the waveform of the piano, now all functions point to the piano, no matter what I select elsewhere. Its like the only way to set track focus is by clicking the waveform in that track. Is there some sort of voiceover issue here or what. I can literally not do any editting without clicking with the mouse and it is slowing me down. I know this is not a tech support forum but you seem like the most likely person to know the answer to something specifically related to Pro Tools and VoiceOver. Again, awesome work and I am waiting for your next Pro Tools installment. Kevin, Thanks for taking the time to put alot of this information together.
