ANY QUICKSCRIBE HELP OUT THERE?

Post by Taicoproductions »

The issue is to learn how to highlight and see the MIDI tracks in Quickscribe.
Is there a good tutorial out there to learn better than the manual how to get around Quickscribe?
Thanks

There's not a lot out there that delves into QS in much detail. I'm not sure how much detail the MacAudioLab DVD-ROM tutorial gets into as far as QS is concerned. To be honest, the hardest thing to learn about QS is that there are many obvious things that it simply doesn't do.

But there may be some helpful info in the CSI Starter and CSI Master books on DP. Also, there is Digital Performer Power by Steve Thomas. AFAIK, they only deal with DP4 and not DP5, but QS has hardly changed in 10 years, save for one or two residual features.

Honestly, the manual is about as detailed as it gets for QS.

When you say "highlight tracks", what do you mean exactly? If you open the Track List (via the next to the last icon in the upper left corner of the QS window frame), all you need to do is click the track name and the corresponding staff will appear. Click-drag along the track list to quickly select multiple adjacent tracks. If the tracks are already highlighted (in blue), click or click drag to de-select them.

But when you say you want to see MIDI tracks in QS, it's not clear what you mean. MIDI tracks in QS are represented as staves. MIDI tracks in the MIDI Editor are represented as a piano roll. MIDI tracks in the Tracks Overview are represent as horizontal track rails with data blocks. MIDI tacks in Sequence Editor are another form of the piano roll concept.

MIDI tracks are always represented, but in different formats in different windows. I'm not quite sure what you really mean.

Consolidated Windows will allow you have several different types of MIDI track views open at once.
