Hello Chris, here is one thing to keep in mind when it comes to meters. If you are able to keep track of at least one or two meters then they can be used to help gauge the levels of the rest of your tracks. I keep many of my vocal tracks at about -9DB and as long as nothing else is drowning the vocal track out then I know I am in a fairly safe zone. Just a tip.

I just thought i'd get some opinions. I have made some trials now, so let's see how it all works out. /Krister > 30 aug 2014 kl. 17:31 skrev TheOreoMonster <monkeypushe...@gmail.com>: > > You got a pretty good handle on how one would use hotspots in PT. But for someone just learning to record at the moment thats overkill for now to worry about that. get comfortable with recording and building up tracks in a project first once you get comfortable with that, you can start worrying about how to use hotspots going forward. > > Echo Scot on Sansamp. Even the guitar presets are nice if you want to dirty up a bass and blend it back in with the clean sound. It seems you are poking around to see what plug ins are in Pro TOols. record some, try the plug ins and see how you like them. Cuz at the end of the day if you don't like the sound, it doesn't matter if we do. > On Aug 30, 2014, at 8:41 AM, Krister Ekstrom <kris...@kristersplace.com> wrote: > >> Hi there, >> Yes folks, i no i maybe say to much here, but i think actually i'm ready to take the plunge and try recording something in Protools 11 at long last. There now remains 2 questions of the newby variety, one that comes out of confution and the other one a more practical question: >> Let's start with the confusion part. I listened to the fantastic "Protools with speech" tutorial and they mentioned hot spots, which are very nice but few. They said that a good idea is to have a hot spot on the meters of every track, or at least many tracks but since there are only 10 hot spots available and you can't make several voiceover activities one for each floating window in PT i guess you have to reassign hot spots as the project goes along, am i right? How do you guys usually handle hot spots in a project? >> Next question is a short and sweet one, are there any good stock plugins for electric bass that come with Pt11, and if not are there any you recommend? I looked at the Sansamp plugin and there seemed to be both guitar and bass settings there. >> Once again thank you for bearing with me through all these newbie questions. >> /Krister >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to ptaccess+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to ptaccess+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
