Dragging Back a Bar Zero

[79imp]

Hi Guys,

Please bear with me as I realise this may have come up in other threads.... I'm a bit of a newbie to ProTools and so I'm having some of the usual teething troubles using a new DAW (although this fantastic Community has already helped me out countless times!!).

I'm trying to drag back a bar zero (i.e. remove the empty bars that can be created before song start by dragging the red triangle to the right), but when I do this only the MIDI files move to the new start location. All the audio files remain in the same place.

I'm sure there must be a quick fix or setting for this. Any help would be very gratefully received!

Your friends are...

Event>Time Operations>Move Song Start
Event>Time Operations>Insert Time
Event>Time Operations>Cut Time

The Pro Tools Reference Guide will explain those in detail. The PDF is installed on your computer with Pro Tools and available online.

Make sure your audio tracks are "Ticks" and not set to "samples". It is located next to the automation mode selector.

Thanks both... especially ZEUSS.... your tip has worked a treat and I'd probably be 85 and 7 months old before I'd found that out myself. Nice one mate thank you!
