Why ProTools Sucks #9: Delete key doesn’t delete markers
February 10th, 2009
If you have markers you want to delete in a ProTools project, you can’t just select them and hit delete. You have to use a pull down menu called “clear marker.”
This really sucks. Let’s say you need to delete 10, 100, 1000, or even 2800 markers from a project like I had to once. That means individually selecting 2800 markers then pulling down a menu 2800 times? No f’n way! That is at least 5800 mouse clicks and a case of tedinitis waiting to happen.
To be clear, there is a “clear all markers” in ProTools. But in this particular project I had over 3000 markers, 2800 of which needed to be deleted.
