Preview clips, using just the keyboard?
Basically, doing a sound replacement for a short video game. Have an abundance of clips I've recorded. Want to cycle through them to find the best one(s).
The only way I know to preview clips is to hold option and click and hold on a clip to hear its full duration. This is tedious and time consuming ! Is there a way I can just select a clip then press the up and down keys to cycle through the clips hearing the full duration of each clip? Similar to what Logic does? Cheers to anyone who can help. *edit: I know you can open the workspace window and turn on 'auto preview" and "spacebar plays preview" which is what I want, but the preview window is always floating, is there a way to lock it down or make it a part of the actual window configuration so it stays on top. When i click the edit window it disappears. Last edited by phillyt2k; 11-27-2013 at 06:08 AM. Reason: Additional info |

Option+Semicolon opens the Workspace. You can click'n'drag files to the edit window, and the Workspace will stay open. I like to zoom out the timeline a bit, and drag files from the Workspace in Shuffle mode.

Re: Preview clips, using just the keyboard?
yeh but as soon as i click on the edit window, workspace disappears. the only work around is to make the edit window a bit shorter on the left hand side and stick the workspace next to it.
also I cant seem to shrink the workspace width down any further, i need to get rid of the end collumn. its taking up value screen real estate |

Re: Preview clips, using just the keyboard?
I'll still have to re size the edit window to stop the workspace disappearing though won't I?
another thing, every time I drag a sample from my workspace, the task manager appears and then just stays there. I have to close it every time which is getting to be a bit annoying. |

I don't know why the task manager opens. I know that waveform overviews are calculated when importing files into PT, and this is shown in a progress bar in the Task manager, but it doesn't open automatically here (PT 11.0.2).

Re: Preview clips, using just the keyboard?
And yes, it's a big advantage to have the windows side by side, and at least so that one doesn't completely cover the other after a focus shift.

Re: Preview clips, using just the keyboard?
I understand the use of window configurations, it just seems pointless at the time. Once My window is set up how I want it (i.e. edit window next to workspace), I have no reason to deviate just yet.
I suppose if I was flicking backwards and forwards from different layouts like the mixer and full edit window it could be useful. The task manager thing is still damn annoying though, best I have come up with is drag it to the very bottom of the screen and leave it so it's only just showing. Cheers for your help I think some things though are just better in Logic though |
