System Configuration, Session and
Navigation Enhancements

This chapter describes changes to Pro Tools sys-
tem capabilities, session features, and basic nav-
igation.

Recording and Playback from
HFS+ Drives

(Windows Only)

Pro Tools 7.2 for Windows XP now supports re-
cording and playback of sessions directly from
Mac-formatted (HFS+) drives using the
MacDrive software application.

When using MacDrive for recording and play-
back on a Windows system, the session file and
all audio files must be stored on Mac-formatted
(HFS+) drives. Recording and playback of a ses-
sion from a mixture of Windows- and Mac-for-
matted drives is not supported.

Mouse Scrollwheel
Enhancements

In Pro Tools 7.2, some of the key commands for
scrolling with a mouse scroll wheel have
changed.

To zoom continuously in the Edit window
(horizontal zoom):

Hold Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) while

turning the mouse scroll wheel.

To zoom continuously in the Edit window (ver tical
zoom):

Hold Shift+Alt (Windows) or Shift+Option

(Mac) while turning the mouse scroll wheel.

To scroll the contents of the Edit window or Mix
window horizontally:

1

Focus the window you want to scroll by click-

ing in it or bringing it forward.

2

Hold the Shift key while turning the

Scrub/Shuttle Wheel.

In previous versions of Pro Tools, Mac-
formatted HFS+ drives could only be used
as Transfer volumes when connected to
Windows XP systems using MacDrive.
