The command-shortcuts suddenly stop to work (for example split clips (command-E)...
Normal System shortcuts (save, cut, copy, paste) work fine..., special PT shortcuts not...
Opening the preferences window, closing it, without changing anything, the shortcuts work again... strange!
PT HD 10.3.5 (TDM) OSX 10.7
For mixing, it's probably too clunky..but for drum sequencing, sampler controller or even as "piano roll" it would make perfect sense to have iPad as a controller device
When browsing files from workspace, why not include possibility to select portion of audio with simple mark in / mark out e.g. from song just select hook and BOOM only hook goes into session rather than importing whole a lot and then cutting it down.
Buy and Sell sounds, presets, midi sequences, templates for $0.99
Avid gets 1/3 seller gets 2/3
And it would all work inside improved workspace.
Let me select clips and files and rename them by using (the age old) regular expressions over all or selected files/clips OR, at least, if I want to change track names and keep things in order, give me an option to allow PT to rename all associated clips and files accordingly, too
having the ability to drag n drop folders and file structures into the region list
In the clip list, a user can right-click (control-click) on an audio file and choose Reveal in Finder. I would like to be able to do this for video files.

Protools Missing Concepts:Digidesign software would allow you to combine these tools & would set the next standard in music prduction softwares. Pro tools is one of the most used music software in all corners of music, Majors & Home Studio users.I already feel behind because I do not have these options so if Digidesign makes these features to the new Pro tools would set the standard in the world wide recording market.

Is it just my PC but PT 10.3.5 does not seem to store the way the mix window was when you save a session but when you open a session it always shows Tracks & Groups window on the left side (unlike, for example, the Edit window and the clip list)?

When Command Key Focus is on, the ' (apostrophe) key does not tab to the right, it changes the Edit Mode.
This is a known issue in Pro Tools. English (UK) keyboard layout's ' (apostrophe) key doesn't do the right function when in A-Z command mode - even though the key is in the same place as the US keyboard.
Please fix this.

Fantastic plugin, except can you add full channel linking and unlinking, like all of your competitors (Nugen ISL)? The current set of linking presets might be fine for music, but in Post we need full channel isolation. If a gunshot in the front left ducks the atmospheres in every other channel what good is that?!
Vote. You know you agree.

It would be great if Quantize values could be set with the numeric keypad like step input can be. The less we have to click on things with the mouse/trackpad the better.
It would be helpful if the View Filter options were selectable in the Even List Window so they could check/unchecked in realtime. It's always a productivity killer to have to open another window, check options, then click OK to apply them, then go back to the Event list to keep working.
just as the titile says- muted clips turn all grey, this should be changed to be a paler version of the clolr the clip has when unmuted. I need my clips to remain color coded even when muted.
In bouncing a session to MP3, if "Enable MP3 Surround Encoding" is enabled, audible distortion is produced in the bounced file. The distortion, however, is NOT audible DURING the bounce. It is not due to clipping, and manifests as clicks/pops that occur roughly every half-second across the bounced file when listened to.

In bouncing a session to MP3, if "Enable MP3 Surround Encoding" is enabled, audible distortion is produced in the bounced file. The distortion, however, is NOT audible DURING the bounce. It is not due to clipping, and manifests as clicks/pops that occur roughly every half-second across the bounced file when listened to.
I discovered this issue after bouncing a session of several minutes. I later confirmed the issue after troubleshooting, by bouncing test sessions of several seconds in length, with and without the encoding, and leaving everything else the same.
It occurred without fail in my tests on both Windows 7 64-bit and Mac OS 10.6.8, using Pro Tools 10.3.5.
I did submit reports at the duc forum, per suggestion, but my multiple efforts to get others at the forum to look at and verify the bug has not produced any visible response for some reason. That being said, others before me have verified the bug, as noted later. Considering the significance of bouncing, the fact that the issue occurs on different systems, and the fact that the only information I've found posted by others about this encoding have been reports that it produced distortion, I have submitted a report here and I hope that it is more effective. Here are the aforementioned reports:

Thank you. Given that bouncing is a crucial procedure and that MP3 bouncing is a popular option, I hope that this issue can be resolved soon.

Currently, linking the pan knobs for a stereo track forces them to be identical (or mirrored), which sums them to mono, defeating the main purpose of stereo tracks. The link should maintain their relative positions. In the unlikely event that someone wanted to collapse a stereo track to mono while continuing to use twice the resources, they could always set them the same prior to linking.
The two pan controls on a stereo channel should (optionally) be inverse linked so that the stereo field may be quickly (and symmetrically) narrowed using only one control.
Undo history should be saved with the session file. In the event of a crash, on reloading the session or most recent backup, this would make it much easier to know exactly what my last action was (before the save rather than before the crash) and carry on from there.
For any control that has a universal, commonly used default value (e.g. panning, velocity, various fx, etc.) there should be the option to revert to that value by right-clicking the control (e.g. knob, slider, switch, etc.) and hitting "Reset". Sometimes manually "handling" the controls can be fidgety; there needs to be a quick way to accomplish this task. This would complement the ability to manually enter values: ...more »

There should be an ability to select any number of MIDI clips/regions, right-click, and merge. If they are on different tracks then they should merge to the first track affected. See Logic or another DAW for an example. This is far quicker and less error-prone than manual copying/editing of notes. Such a feature would come in use in many situations involving general MIDI editing.

In creating a session, Pro Tools sets the permissions for the session root folder and any of its sub-folders such that 'Everyone' (on Windows) or 'everyone' (on Mac) is a user and may read/write the session contents. This causes usability and privacy issues.
Usability issues:
Windows requires confirmation of permission mask changes when transferring or modifying these session folders. Such a common task therefore becomes one that can cause significant delays or concerns, especially when applied across many sessions. Additionally, the permission mask changes that are applied through this confirmation process result in a mismatch with the standard permissions normally applied across new folders created in the OS, as the changes tend to restrict permission to the account owner without giving access to the root admin, although the latter should also have access. Furthermore, Mac users who wish to revert the permissions back to normal are also met with a time-consuming manual process.
Privacy issues:
Users may be largely unaware of the unusual permissions of these session folders, expecting that they exhibit the permissions that folders on the operating system are normally attributed. They may not realize that anyone using the device through an alternative account can access the files and use them for potentially malicious purposes.
Universal files should be permitted access by anyone, and private files only by the relevant accounts, as is the case with virtually all other software. For some reason Pro Tools goes out of the way to set unusual permissions on folders containing private files (sessions), resulting in the aforementioned usability and privacy issues, without any apparent benefit.
Concerns about this have been expressed throughout the user base. Here are several examples:

At the very least, there should be an option to disable this unusual behavior.

When "saving a copy in..." and ""convert to specified format", that format being 24 bit 48k wav, it doesn't always append .wav to the filenames. This is a big problem when sending a session from a Mac system to a Windows one.
It would be extremely helpful to be able to choose the gridline colors in preferences. Something like Hot Pink for Bar lines, another color for downbeats and also choose how bold they are. It is often difficult to tell the downbeats and barlines as I am zooming in and out.
