Soundbites not highlighted in Soundbites menu

Post by Keith Henry »

DP 6 & 7

Soundbites are not highlighted in Soundbites menu.

If I highlight a soundbite either in the tracks window or the sequence editor and wish to see them (for exporting, etc)when I open the Soundbites window, they are not highlighted in the Soundbites window.

This is (and has always been) the same for me on my home rig running DP 6.03 and on a friends rig running DP 7.

Anyone else had this problem?

As far as I know this has always been the case in DP. It's not a bug, it just never was a feature.

ProTools works in the way you mention and I admit it is useful and a great time saver. I am always moving audio from one program to another DP. PT. FCP, Izotope RX, Melodyne etc....

I think this feature has been requested for DP in the past, perhaps we should suggest it to MOTU again.

Cheers

"CMMD+CTRL+ALT + L" will highlight the selected bite in the SB window.
"ALT + R" will reveal it in finder.

But unfortunately, only one at a time.
