Pro Tools playback at 3/4 speed

[SuiGeneris2]

anyone know a way to playback at 3/4 speed? obviously half-speed is a cinch.. and i think (once i have a keyboard with a numeric keypad) that i would be achieve 3/4speed by setting a custom shuttle lock speed of 75%).. but for the time being, i thought maybe someone would have a simple idea that i've overlooked.
thanks!

you are correct, there are quick-keys for shuttle speed on the Numeric Pad. Unfortunately, I do not have the commands memorized, because it has been a long time since I've had the need to use them. But I can confirm that you're not crazy or making things up. :p

Dig up the keyboard commands for your relevant version of pro tools on the Digidesign site. It should be a PDF file.

Sorry I didn't have the quick-key memorized, good luck finding what you're after!

If I recall correctly, the shuttle modes are TDM only and they are
1/16th, 1/4, 1/2, 2x and 4x on the numeric keyboard...

1/4 forward and back are 3 and 1 (respectively).

for 1/16th , you have to press 2-3 to go forward and 2-1 to go backward.

As far as I know, there isn't a 3/4 ..

..and it only works on one track at a time....I think the only way to do this would be to put PT into Elastic audio mode, and either use the varispeed option (changing pitch) or one of the other modes (fixed pitch) to get you to 75%. Not sure what the artifacts would be like though.

if you stretch the time along with the pitch, there are very few artifacts ..
