Contextual Menus In Pro Tools Part 2

Here are some more details on using Right Click in Pro Tools.

Adding modifier keys to right-click

Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) and right-clicking on a region brings up a slightly different contextual menu. The reason for this is so that you don’t loose your selection when accessing this version of the contextual menu.

The new elements are….

Rename – This brings up the Rename Region dialog box so you can rename the region. Why isn’t this one also in the normal right-click contextual menu?

Move Region …. To Selection Start

These, along with the Snap To options on the normal right-click menu, are really useful options and saves having to remember a series of complex shortcuts. In the example we can see what will happen to the ‘Vocal’ region when we use the ‘Pad’ region as the Selection. Of course the selection could be the cursor location instead.

Make your Selection first and then Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) and right-click on the ‘Vocal’ region, then choose the appropriate selection from the set of three options. This shows Move Region Start To Selection Start….

This shows Move Region Sync To Selection Start

and this shows Move Region End To Selection Start.

Elastic Audio

In Warp view you can Right-click anywhere in the region and select Add Warp Marker from the pop-up.  If there is an Edit selection, Warp markers will be added at the selection start and end.

To delete a Warp marker within a selection, Right-click and then select Remove Warp Marker from the pop-up menu.
