Using Memory Locations for Zoom Control
Pro Tools Memory Locations let you store many
attributes with each marker or memory loca-
tion, including Track Height and Zoom Settings.
By creating Memory Locations that are neither
Markers nor Selections, but have Track Height,
Zoom Settings, or other options enabled, you
can use Memory Locations to zoom in and out
using just the numeric keypad.
