Spacebar Toggles File Preview Enables or dis-
ables the Spacebar for starting and stopping pre-
view. When this option is disabled, use the Pre-
view button to start and stop preview. In this mode,
the Spacebar starts and stops session playback.
This lets you play back the session and, with the
Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo option en-
abled, preview the selected audio file in time with
the session.
Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo Con-
forms all tick-based audio files with Elastic Audio
analysis, as well as REX and ACID files, to the
session tempo. This option lets you play back the
session and simultaneously preview the selected
files in time with the session. This option is only
available when a session is open. For more infor-
mation, see “Conforming Preview to the Session
Tempo” on page 343.
When the
Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo
option is enabled, Pro Tools analyzes un-analyzed
files on preview or import. Audio files that have
been analyzed as tick-based can then be previewed
at the session tempo and conform to the session
tempo on import.
When the
Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo
option is disabled, any tick-based audio files with
Elastic Audio analysis, and REX and ACID files
preview and import at their native tempo.
Don’t Limit Search Results Select (or deselect)
the Don’t Limit Search Results option to show all
search results past the default 1,000 item limit. If a
search returns more than 1,000 items you are notified
to the left of the simple search field that
1,000+ items
were found. You can click the 1,000+ link to show
all items found or you can enable the
Don’t Limit

option to always show all search re-
sults.
Show Offline Volumes Select (or deselect) the
Show Offline Volumes command to show (or hide)
all indexed offline volumes from the database in
the Locations pane.
Delete Index for All Offline Volumes Deletes the
index for all offline volumes from the database.
Keep Window on Top Select (or deselect) the Keep
Window On Top
option in the Workspace Browser
menu to ensure that the Workspace remains in the
foreground when working with other windows. This
can be helpful when working with the Workspace
and the Edit window in particular. When this option
is disabled, clicking on another window (such as the
Edit or Mix windows) brings that window to the front
and the Workspace may be hidden behind it. When
enabled, all open Workspace browser remain in front
of all other windows with the focused Workspace al-
ways in the foreground.
Workspace Right-Click Menu
Pro Tools lets you Right-click on items in the Lo-
cations pane (such as volumes and folders) and the
Browser pane (such as folders and files) to access
relevant contextual commands. These commands
are specific to the type of items selected in the Lo-
cations pane or the Browser pane, as described be-
low.
New Folder Creates a new folder on the currently
selected volume or folder, or within the currently
selected catalog. For volumes and folders, a new
folder is created on disk. For more information, see
“Creating and Opening Workspace Browser Fold-
ers” on page 313.
Create Catalog from Selection Creates a fully in-
dexed catalog of all items selected in either the Lo-
cations or the Browser pane.
When a browser is front-most, Command+P
(Mac) or Control+P (Windows) starts and
stops preview. Also, the Esc key stops preview.
