For those of you using machine control, you can forget this annoying menu:
To toggle through the transport master option (Pro Tools/Machine/MMC) hit Command+Backslash (/)
It will make you smiiiiiiiiile!

I posted on the digi forums just last week for this very need and when i got the answer back it DID make me smile. I wish I knew this two years ago after many thousands of trips to that menu with the mouse
Thanks boys! I’d forgotten about this one.
Does anyone have any experience syncing two pro tools rigs together?
I'm a film composer and this movie is the first where I'm using PT for sequencing purposes as well as to run video. My sequencing rig is an HD2 Accell running on a Mac Pro Quad with a 192Digi and an Apogee Rosetta for front end. The video / print rig is LE, running on a G5 with a 002 rack.
So here's my question and it's all the more bamboozling because it used to work fine until I had to re-rack and re patch all of my gear recently (don't you just hate that?):
The LE rig chases the HD rig via MTC transmitted through a simple 2×2 midi interface. They sync fine, except I used to also have MMC working – i.e. I could scrub, fast forward and rewind on the HD machine and the video rig would follow suit. Except now it's not working any more….. like I said, MTC and basic stop / start sync works fine, just no scrub …. which for a film composer is really impractical, not to mention infuriating.
It used to work fine and I swear the settings are the same ….. does anyone know if I could be leaving something out?
please help!
