How to set pre roll in DP7.21

Post by waterstrum »

Probably a dumb question.
I'm doing auto record and the punch in and the memory start are locked together.
When I try to drag the start point, the record arrow follows it.
I used to be able to set a pre-roll that would come up automatically.
Sorry if this is a RTFM thing...
We just moved and TFM is in one of a million boxes.
Thanks in advance for assistance.
All is well

The two buttons on the far right and bottom of the transport bar.
Their tabs will show in the edit windows where they can be dragged to taste.
One may also choose to have pre and post roll amount shown in the edit window info bar: click on the 'S' in the edit window to show selection info, then choose Config Info Bar from the *mini menu therein.

*Is it still called a 'mini menu'?

Yes, that did it.
I don't think I've had to adjust that since version 5.13... it used to be a drawer.

Many thanks for your help.
I had a long session today and it came in handy.

Now back to unpacking boxes....
All is well
