Mackie MUC Shuttle Mode in Protools Question

[Barry Johns]

Is there any way to move the shuttle to have it select by beat in Protools? Can it be made to go faster? Scrub seems o work fine.

I love the way it works with Logic, but the shuttle, seems useless in Protools. I am used to using it to quckly get to edit points for splicing regions. It is much easier than with a mouse in Logic, not much luck so far in Protools.

Not sure about the shuttle function as I don't generally work in bars:beats and find the the shuttle in PT always acts like a rubber band over shooting where I want to go.

I tend to set up memory markers, use TAB to region or occasionally turn on the TAB to Transients function if I want to jump to audio peaks like beats.

The left/right arrows either side of the zoom button on the Mackie act as the TAB left/right keys when zoom isn't selected.

If you don't already know TAB to Transients is turned on by selecting (clicking on) the little wave icon to the left of the [a...z] "Command Focus" icon in the black bar top of the edit window. It's normal state is off.
