About 9.5... AUTO rewind set/activate works!

This has been a bit of an issue in past releases. The key command for enabling and disabling AUTO REWIND has never worked on my systems. Also, setting the SEQ START TIME while AUTO REWIND was off would enable looping (but not enable start time or end time, for that mater).

NOW COMD-R (the default) does enable AUTO REWIND and setting the sequence start time while AUTO REWOND is off enables AUTO REWIND and AUTO STOP.

This is also helpful.

Thanks, MOTU! :unicorn:

So far Mikey likey! ;)

Also... when AUTO REWIND is disabled, you can still see your start (and presumably, your end points). They used to disappear.

Once notices these "little" improvements. Seems that someone was really looking at the GUI this time. THANK YOU!!!!

:woohoo:

That's always worked for me.

I literally use it dozens of times every day. You know my system, probably, as I have posted it many times. I chose to make custom key-commands for them, because the defaults overlap OS X's system usage for
F1 = Mission Control (All Apps)
F2 = Mission Control (Current App)
F3 = Clear screen of all windows
F4 = Widgets Screen

Here are the ones I use.
• Note that Memory/Auto-Record/Selection abbreviated make the mnemonic MAS, as in MOTU Audio System.
• Odd numbers are always Start, even numbers are always End.

Option F1 = Set Memory Start
Option F2 = Set Memory End

Option F3 = Set Auto-Record Start
Option F4 = Set Auto-Record End

Option F5 = Set Selection Start
Option F6 = Set Selection End

This makes my work so fast it's unbelievable.
I'm always setting points for those things, and it's such second nature that as soon as I think of it, it's done.

Of course, if you're talking about something else, my apologies.

No, that's what I'm talking about. :)

My key commands for the "auto" buttons are:

[-] (keypad minus) = Memory Loop
[9] = Auto Stop
[8] = Auto Rewind
[7] = toggle current rewind, stop, and loop settings

Plus, I've added these custom settings:
Control-[8] = Link Playback to Memory
Control-[9] = Link Selection to Memory

[ ] means "keypad."

I use those last two more than most of the others these days, and will have to make a video to explain why. They save enormous amounts of time, especially when comping takes.

If I'm understanding that correctly, that's really good news.
I am now officially motivated to install 9.5.
I hope the chirps are sonorous and songbird-like and not SMAWK - SMAWK.

Where are you seeing this? The behavior seems the same as previous versions here.

OK, this is weird. Virtually all that transport stuff I mention has reverted back to it's old behavior. Must have been a glitch, or Camelot.

Now, THAT IS weird.
It must've been the Chirping gremlins some people are hearing upon saving. Maybe the Chirping is MOTU's new secret version of Tweeting (tweet, tweet, chirp, chirp), and it calls home to see if you're still ok with the NSA? :shock:

It is very strange. I was really liking the GUI that doesn't exist... Maybe I need to lay off the sauce?
