Here are some more details on using Right Click in Pro Tools. Part 1 is here.
Adding modifier keys to right-click
Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) and right-clicking on a region brings up a slightly different contextual menu. The reason for this is so that you don’t loose your selection when accessing this version of the contextual menu.
The new elements are….
Rename – This brings up the Rename Region dialog box so you can rename the region. Why isn’t this one also in the normal right-click contextual menu?
Move Region …. To Selection Start
These, along with the Snap To options on the normal right-click menu, are really useful options and saves having to remember a series of complex shortcuts. In the example we can see what will happen to the ‘Vocal’ region when we use the ‘Pad’ region as the Selection. Of course the selection could be the cursor location instead.
Make your Selection first and then Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) and right-click on the ‘Vocal’ region, then choose the appropriate selection from the set of three options. This shows Move Region Start To Selection Start….
This shows Move Region Sync To Selection Start
and this shows Move Region End To Selection Start.
Elastic Audio
In Warp view you can Right-click anywhere in the region and select Add Warp Marker from the pop-up. If there is an Edit selection, Warp markers will be added at the selection start and end.
To delete a Warp marker within a selection, Right-click and then select Remove Warp Marker from the pop-up menu.

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."
