Timecode Commands (TDM Only)
These final two sets of commands relate to timecode features or the use of a stationary playhead are not available on Pro Tools LE.
Snap to timecode
Having ‘parked’ your machine at a suitable timecode position these 3 commands allow you to spot the highlighted region to the ‘parked’ timecode position. Protools will obviously need incoming timecode from a slaved machine for this to work.
Snap Start (of selected region) to timecode – Y
Snap sync point (of selected region) to timecode – U
Snap End (of selected region) to timecode – I
Snap to stationary Playhead
This group of commands allows you to snap your selected region to the playhead position.
Snap Start (of selected region) to playhead – H
Snap Sync point (of selected region) to playhead – J
Snap End (of selected region) to playhead – K
Conclusions from the ‘pain barrier’
For me the best parts of using the Keyboard Focus are being able to Zoom in and out both with the Preset zooms and the Zoom Out – R; and the Zoom in – T commands. These alone have made it worthwhile to have the Keyboard Focus on and the Track View toggle, Zoom toggle, Separate, and Nudge keys are serious bonuses. I still use the Smart Tool for the fades and the Trim tool but I am definitely declaring long live Keyboard Focus!

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
