Avid Pro Tools Production II – Music Production (201M) Certification Practice Exam

In Pro Tools, you relocate the song start by using a direct command and by using the timeline rulers to pick the spot you want. The Move Song Start command is the exact action that changes the starting point of the session. You get to that by going to the Event menu, then Time Operations, and choosing Move Song Start. The Tempo and Beats rulers (shown via View > Rulers) are the visual tools that help you identify the exact bar/beat where you want the start to be. They don’t move the start by themselves, but they let you place your cursor at the precise spot you want before you apply the Move Song Start command to commit that new start time. So you have two pathways: visually locating the desired start with the rulers, and then executing the move with the dedicated command. The other menu paths don’t provide the necessary combination to reposition the song start.
