Multiple Track Selects

Hi,
trying to hold shift / ctrl / etc. combis to use track select for multiple track selects (not track, but clip on track and all following clips as well on that track) it'll always select all existing tracks ... so I can't yet be selective. Is there a way to use track select for multiple track selects ?
Regards,
Frank

Your choice is one track or all tracks. The only way to be more selective is by locking any tracks you don't want selected.

Can you make a multiple track selection without using a modifier key?

i think this is mainly a wishlist kind of question as i'm pretty certain it's not possible. while the track tool can be accessed with a single key command, in order to select multiple tracks, you have to hold down the shift key. in FCP, the track tool had several options. for instance, TTTT would select all tracks forward but you could map this to a single key. so many things about premiere are great, but certain keyboard shortcuts are sadly lacking.

yes, really. if i do something more than 5 times in any given day then i'd like to do it as efficiently and quickly as possible. as an editor, i use the select all tracks forward command in FCP at least 20 times a day, but probably more. so even though it's not a "big deal", it does slow down my workflow when i have to hit 2 keys. it's not a big deal to go to the post office but it really makes life easier when the mail carrier stops at my house.

Multiple Track Select Tool - Deselect one clip

On a Mac, I am using the Track Select tool with the shift key held down to select multiple tracks at a certain point. It keeps selecting one clip more than I want. How can I deselect that one clip and retain the others?

You can just switch back to the Selection Tool and then SHIFT click the tracks you want to deselect.
Alternatively you can just use the Selection Tool to drag a window across the multiple clips/tracks you want to select. However, you must start dragging the selection window in the empty space above all the the track otherwise you'll just end up just moving a clip.

I think you mean switch back to the selection tool and the shift click the clip you want to deselect, not the track.

ITunes 12.1.2.27 can't delete field contents from multiple tracks

This is new to iTunes 12.1.2.27.
Try it out: you cannot completely delete the contents of any field in the iTunes album "Get Info" window, when there are multiple tracks selected. Every previous version of iTunes could do this easily.
For example, I have an album with different comments for several tracks. I simply want to delete all the comments on the album. With all the album tracks selected, I delete the gray "Mixed" text in the Comments field, like in the last version. When I close the Get Info window, nothing has changed. The comments are still there.
This happens with all the fields. You can no longer delete all the contents of any given field all at once. It's one track at a time or nothing.
Also, bonus problem: try to cut some text out of these fields with Command-X: Artist, Album, Album Artist, Composer, Grouping and Genre fields. You can't. Command-X does nothing. I think it has something to do with the auto-complete function.
I gave feedback on these two problems. If they bother you, please leave feedback as well.

How do I select multiple tracks in iTunes?

It's like a hold down control and something else, and then drag the curser to select the songs you want selected. I'm not sure what this shortcut is. Again, I want to select multiple tracks on iTunes so I can move files or delete them. Simply selecting all won't work because the files are different names. Anyone know this shortcut? Thanks!

If you click a track, hold down shift, and then click another one, it will select all the tracks between those two. Holding down command (the apple key) will allow you to select/deselect individual tracks.

HT1451 when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

Cannot select Get Info for multiple tracks

I just updated to Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 and imported my Leopard iTunes Library. I can Get Info on individual tracks but when I shift select or command select multiple tracks the iTunes window turns gray and nothing can be selected. iTunes just freezes until I press the Escape key. So far, everything else works as expected - the only problem is selecting multiple tracks (which worked fine for me on previous OS and iTunes versions).
I haven't found any reports of similar problems so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Any suggestions?

I solved my own problem - the last time I used iTunes was on a two monitor system. I still have the second monitor connected but it was turned off and the iTunes Get Info window for MULTIPLE selected items was opening on the second monitor. When I did a Get Info on a single selection, the window appeared on the main monitor normally - behavior which never made me think that multiple items would show up in a different window on the turned off monitor.

Select Multiple Tracks from Library

When I am Rippinga CD to My Library, I can click on "Edit", right click and click on "Get Info.", and modify the "Genre".
When I open a CD from the Library, and click on "Edit", I can't "Select All", and "Get Info", I can't seem to change the Database.
Is there a way to select multiple tracks from the Library, and change the data?

It should be the same way you select multiple items in just about every application. Select any item. Hold SHIFT and click another item to select that and all between it and the original. Hold CTRL to toggle the selection of individual items, adding or removing them from the selection.

Multiple track (or region) selection for mass editing and deleting.

My project has multiple tracks, and it is too long. So I'd like to be able to select multiple tracks and then remove regions across multiple tracks in one move rather than having to delete regions track by track, and then moving them back to close the gap (which is a time consuming pain)
Is this possible?
Many thanks

Artwork tab missing when selecting multiple tracks

osx 10.5.8
itunes 9.0.3
i'm having trouble assigning MULTIPLE pieces of album art to MULTIPLE tracks SIMULTANEOUSLY.
i see that i can add multiple arts to a single track by:
.. selecting a single track by highlighting -> get info -> artwork tab
.. selecting and playing a single track (so that the speaker icon appears to the left of the track in the playlist; paused or not) -> dragging artwork into the artwork pane in itunes; artwork gets added only to the track with the speaker icon regardless of which track(s) are highlighted. if there is existing artwork, new art gets added (does not replace old art).
also, adding a single piece of art to multiple tracks can be done by:
.. selecting tracks by highlighting -> get info -> info tab -> artwork field (note: artwork FIELD within info TAB of 'get info' dialog, not artwork tab)
adding multiple arts to multiple tracks simultaneously COULD NOT be done by:
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> get info; ARTWORK TAB IS MISSING WHEN MULTIPLE TRACKS ARE SELECTED! there is only the artwork field in the info tab. setting this field with art resets any previous art -- the only art for the selected tracks will be the single piece you set in this field.
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> dragging artwork into the artwork pane in itunes; artwork gets added only to the (single) track with the speaker icon (playing/paused) regardless of which track(s) are highlighted.
i've seen it done in (unknown version) windows itunes by:
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> get info -> artwork tab (NOT MISSING!?)
pretty aggravating heh
help please.

haaaa
i just figured it out.
just above the artwork box in the lower left of the window, there is bar.
you can click on it to toggle between Now Playing and Selected Item.
this was my problem -- mine was on now playing. i didn't realize this was changeable.
thanks for motivating me to click at and around that artwork pane in frustration, guys. yay.
solved.

Selecting multiple tracks to assign compilation tag

Hello,
If I right click on a single track and select "get info" I can check the "part of compilation" check box. However, if I select multiple songs from a compilation album, the check box is no longer present under the info tab. Is this a bug with the latest version of iTunes? Or has the ability to simultaneously assign multiple songs as part of a compilation been removed?
Thanks,

Problem solved. The check box is moved to a different tab (options) if multiple tracks are selected. Gotta love how intuitive apple products are . . .

Selecting multiple tracks for score purposes

I posted an earlier question about how to have the score reflect multiple tracks. What I have discovered is that the Score mode only displays the selected track, although the Piano Roll mode, which I have used for composing, will display all selected regions. I have researched the forum entries and no one seems to have an answer as to how to select multiple tracks. Apple-A doesn't work on tracks, and shift-click or apple-click doesn't either. What is the secret? Previous replies to others' similar questions actually questioned why you need it anyway. Multiple track scoring needs it!
Help, please.
Herb

Fox, I appreciate the time you must take to answer all these questions. I did what you suggested, but it still is not displaying the two instrument tracks I set up in a score set. Some more interesting phenomena: I tried merging regions, but got a composite staff that wouldn't work. When I undid the merge, an amazing thing happened: The score showed both parts! But as soon as I selected a region, the score reverted to the one track. The only other clue to the problem is that the two original regions were set up as midi, but the notes were entered with the step entry keyboard.
Any ideas? Should I dump preferences and restart (an old Final Cut Pro technique)?

I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks.

I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks - get track names and submit cd track names. How do I join multiple tracks into one?

Weird, works for me.

Advice Needed: Filtering/Adding effects to multiple tracks

I'm writing a dance song, and at one point would like to apply a few filtering sweeps on selected drum tracks.
Which is the best way to do it? Is it to bounce down the tracks into an audio file, then apply the effects onto that file by itself, or is it better to route the multiple tracks to an effects bus?
I have been trying using a bus, but have found that as soon as I route the tracks to the bus, the is a change in the sound quality of the track (louder and sometimes slightly distorted), even without any plugins on the bus. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

How are you routing to a bus? If you are just using sends, then what's happeing is that the individual channels are going to the master output, and also being sent to a bus that is also going to the master output - this everything sent to that bus will get louder.
If you want to send a bunch of channels directly to a bus for insert processing, then change each channel's output to the bus, rather than the main output, so the individual channels only go to the mix via the bus, and not directly.
Or are you doing something different to that?
