Moving Audio with Grabber Tool

[antoniosaraviav]

Hey Guys, Im new in this Forum. I have been using a lot of production products, but it is the first time I use Pro Tools.

My problem with the grabber tool to move audio, a vocal recording for example, is when I move it from one place to another, Once I press the click in the mouse and I start to move the audio I can´t see where is going to end. Only a yellow line appears.

In all the other products like Mixcraft, Fruity Loops and all the rest, when You grab an audio, and you start moving it, you can see the actual audio moving.
In Pro Tools, when you start moving only a yellow line appears in representation of the portion of the audio you are moving. This is extremely annoying.
Cause If you wanna match some vocal in the same position of a beat you have to be moving imagining where is going to end the audio.

Is there is an option in Visualizations or preferences that allows me to change this?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the answers.

The way I handle this is I ballpark it with the grabber, and then once it's in place, I used the plus and minus keys to refine it. These keys nudge the clip forward or backward.

If you have tempo locked to the grid, I would select FROM a grid line(in GRID mode), copy(or cut) and then place the cursor on the appropriate grid line for the new location, and paste. Then you can drag the left edge out as needed(in case you cut off any audio).

Pro Tools doesn't have this feature unfortunately. It's been a popular feature request.

I agree that it's quite a valuable and useful feature that definitely needs to be implemented. Please vote for it if you can. Thanks.
