Default Re: Pro Tools 8 Problem All tracks are selected for everything in edit window.

I've had a similar problem that took me a little while to solve...
Sometimes I would find all the tracks selected, even though there was no active group.
It came from accessing a certain location by clicking in the line that is directly above the tracks, that while the "Link track and edit selection" function is engaged.
A friend finds himself in this little trap once or twice a year and he calls me to remind him that he has to deselect one track by clicking it while holdind CMD...

This exact thing is happening to me right now and I can't figure it out. I have tried deselecting one track while holding CMD, like you suggested... no success.

If you are using a PC, did you try the two other keys ?
Or look up Risey's solution on page one...

and the playlists mode !
or was it on 7 already ?

No, it was PT8 feature. Was in Beta Team at that time and very excited about it.

ahah ah was happy too when i saw that


still i was thinking of people saying "this is garbage that was garbage" etc.. assuming they had issues with their versions due to some bugs or what ever that might have been..


As far as i'm concerned i never found a pro tools hd version that was a mess. My rule has always been if a big update comes out : clean install and never had any unsolved problem at all.
There was a time i was using the uninstaller but cannot remember till when.
With cs version it was a bit different as we could indeed install the new cs without reinstalling everything.


The only magor issues i had rather was with accel card serial numbers that might cause issues with other cards serials like the G series in a chassis.

Pinnacle of PT stability still is a combination of OSX 10.6.8 and PT 8.1.1 and having these nice new features it is a great legacy for DigiDesign name.

PT9 was rebranded under Avid name, and while most appreciate PT opening to 3rd party interfaces there were so many problems not many remember it fondly. Then there was the transition platform called PT10, but after Apple went to "places" it seems Avid has been playing catch-up. I am hoping this Apple Silicon calms things down now, hopefully Avid releases native PT version soon.
