easy pro tools question

Post by nystrec » Wed Oct 11, 2006 10:34 am

For some reason when I click on a certain section in Pro Tools it still plays from the begeining of the song no matter where I click. What did I do to make this happen and how can I change it? I know it's gotta be something easy.

Shift + forward slash (/) is the shortcut to turn that on and off. Also, there's a little box up in the left hand corner that will activate/deactivate if you click it. There's a little arrow pointing up and a little arrow pointing down, and it's right next to the box that activates/deactivates the quick keys.
