To enable and use the Region List Keyboard Focus:
1
Click the Keyboard Focus button in the upper
right of the Region List.
2
Type the first or first few letters of the region
to automatically locate and select it. Once a re-
gion is located and selected, it can be dragged to
a track.
Keyboard selection of audio regions locates re-
gions based on their region name, not on the
names for their parent audio files or the vol-
umes on which they reside.
Auditioning Regions in the Region List
To audition a region in the Region List:
■
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) the
region name.
Stereo and Multichannel Tracks in
the Region List
Stereo and multichannel regions, whether im-
ported or recorded into Pro Tools, are displayed
as single items in the Region List. For example,
two mono source regions named “Main Pi-
ano.L” and “Main Piano.R” are listed as “Main
Piano (Stereo).” An expand/collapse triangle in-
dicates stereo and multichannel regions.
Stereo and multichannel regions are displayed
in the Region List by default in collapsed view.
The individual regions can be displayed by click-
ing the arrow to the left of the region to expand
the name.
To expand or collapse all stereo and multichannel
regions:
■
Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) while
clicking the expand/collapse triangle.
Individual items of an expanded-view stereo or
multichannel region can be selected indepen-
dently of the other associated regions in the Re-
gion List.
Rules for Stereo and Multichannel
Regions
For stereo and multichannel audio regions to be
shown as collective regions, the component re-
gions must be the same length. If an existing ste-
reo or multichannel region has been dragged
onto multiple mono tracks and edited such a
way that one or more components are no longer
the same length, the stereo display is removed
and the regions are displayed as individual re-
gions in the Region List.
