Hi Jimmy, The most important bit of information one needs to be aware of when trying to edit in Pro Tools (aside from the various settings which I won't mention right now) is that there needs to be an insertion point in order for the arrow keys to affect a selected track. when, for example, audio is imported into a session, it absolutely, categorically does not have an insertion point, even though the track is technically selected. Providing edit selection follows track selection (under the Options menu), use Control semicolon or Control P to move focus to a neighboring track and back again. This will create an insertion point in the selected track. From that point on, the arrows will select the edit range not only in the timeline ruler but also in the selected track. If you don't have a neighboring track, create a dummy track just for the purpose of moving to it. You can also deselect the track and select it again. That should also do it, it's just that two quick keystrokes are much faster. HTH, Slau
