Hi,

thanks for fixing the shortcuts thing so quickly. One question - which mixer should be in the plug-in folder? I am maybe a bit too overorganized and keep all plug-ins in folders. So I installed twice to get the mixers on the top level but still have the cs4.
I now have stereo mixer cs4 and surround mixer cs8. Is the stereo mixer cs4 the latest available?

Nevermind.

What is wrong with you guys, same old problems with the new cs8 update like we had before (shortcut: consolidate selection doesn't work, instead the midioperation comes up).
Could anyone of you explain why you have changed things the have been worked good so far.
Come up with some useful new features PT need instead changing working things.
For example, start writing PT in Mac native code so RTAS Instruments really start work fine.
This is not a acceptable and lead people direktly in the hands of your competidors.

I'm really pissed of. You should know it better,that your customers are people the have to rely every
day on the expensive stuff they have purchased and we have no time for experiments.
think about it

The Consolidate Selection shortcut DOES work.

The reason that you think it doesn't is that you are using the wrong 3. You should be using the one on the keyboard and not the keypad. This works and always has done.

For a while shift-option-keypad 3 also worked, but that was an anomaly. The fact that it now brings up the MIDI Operations window (as does option-keypad 3) is also an anomaly but one that shouldn't bother you if you were using the correct key command in the first place.

The numbers on the keyboard and the numbers on the keypad are discrete and have totally separate functions. in fact if you loook in the Pro Tools menus then you will see that keypad numbers are differentiated by the fact that they have a circle around them.

Think about it...

[JT Webster]

Well I belive you, but I'm using this shortcut now since almost 7 years and all of the sudden
you are going to explain me I've done wrong the whole time.
It seems to me you know a lot about the key shortcuts.
I havn't understood what Digidesign ment with the sentence: Rather than changing a keyboard command’s physical location to match the appropriate keyboard language setting, numerous key commands and menus used different characters instead.
Would you be so nice and explain it to me more specific. Does it mean that the shortcuts including a letter match now exactly on each foreign keyboard like described in the Pro Tools menue? You just need to select your country and thats it? Or do we need to install some templates for each language supplied by Digidesign?
your input is highly appreciated.

[wesleyt]

I'm no expert on foreign language keyboards; what language are you using anyway?

What I do know is that there are no templates, the Mac OS deals with any necessary changes for the language that you have chosen.

As far as I am aware, the shortcuts that involve Command-Letter just follow the letters as they move around so that Command-Z on a German keyboard is on the top row, not the bottom row. However, the one-touch focus keys remain in the same place.

To be honest, if you're using Pro Tools seriously it's really much easier if you use an English keyboard: you obviously speak English so that shouldn't be a problem.

[JT Webster]

Well,Im using the Digidesign color keyboard the whole time when I'm working with Pro Tools. I have to switch the country settings to german when I'm going to write letters ect. But as I said, I'm always using the US setting and using the Digi color keyboard, therefore I do not understand why Digi had changed things they have been worked out good since many years. Especially the consolidate funktion is one of the major shortcuts I'm using every minute. Well I guess I have two options in this case. 1. I'm going to change my daily routine and going used to the new key combination or 2. stay with the cs6 update...
thanks anyway my friend
