Subject: Re: C couple of queries about volume
If memory serves correct, ProTOols supports the HUI protocol only and
not general midi. SO in order to have a control surface work in PT it
has have some sort of HUI mode. The avid surfaces usually come pretty
much ready to go, but in fader flip mode i believe you should be able to map a
HUI surface to control things like a plug in. As scott said before if there is
a way to do this with the BCF2000 google could probably get one pointed in the
right direction.

I've never had the need to do a custom map of controls but the
process is quite straightforward, just as you've described. Now, you
specifically mentioned Avid control surfaces in your previous message
and that made me have a second thought about what I said. It's
entirely possible that the custom mapping facility, which undoubtedly exists,
is specific to supported control surfaces. I'm not certain whether that applies
to generic MIDI controllers like keyboards with a bank of continuous controller
sliders. Again, I've never had the need to set up anything along those lines so
I might be mistaken about the current state of generic MIDI mapping. I should
look into it for my own general knowledge.

Now that is interesting Slau. From what I've gathered from researching on
the Internet that Midi Learn was discontinued after ProTools 9.
So apologies if I've been misinforming the list on this one. In Sonar,
you could essentially enter on a plugin control, select midi learn,
and then twiddle that knob, fader or press the button that you wish to
assign to that control. This seems like the most straight forward
and logical solution.
How, out of interest, do you tell the Avid control surfaces to control plugin
controls. Basically, is it easy to achieve?

Pro Tools does, in fact, have a MIDI learn function, for the record. The
UI elements are not yet accessible. Even if they were,
however, it would probably take some sighted assistance to set up a
surface because the clues to what is being mapped is very
visual.

Hi Brian, I'd love to be able to help you more, but you're using the BCF
as much as I am. I only do panning and volume. I
don't think it's possible to minipulate plugin controls with it
unfortunately, or at least if there is then I've no idea how.
Sadly Prrtools doesn't have a midi learn function like every other DAW,
which is a bit frustrating, and I imagine is a
restriction deliberately introduced to encourage people to buy Avid's own
control surfaces where plugin automation is
possible.

I would love to get your thoughts on the BCF 2000. I’ve just been using
it for setting levels and panning in pro tools,
but would love to dig in deeper to using this control surface with pro
tools. Feel free to write me off-list.
Thanks,Brian

Hi Slau, I assume Flip Mode is a control surface specific thing? I'm
just using a Beringer BCF at the moment. However, the clip gain feature seems
to be perfect for my needs. I must give Keyboard maestro my attention at some
point. Thanks.

Ah, I'm sorry but I neglected to point out that you need to use a control
surface to change that value for
now. It's possible to set a hot spot with a program like Keyboard Maestro
but I haven't gotten around to
doing that because I don't use the Trim plug-in. At any rate, it's likely
to be the very first encoder knob
or fader if you're in flip mode.

Hi Slau, it appears that there is a trim plugin, but I don't seem to be
able to change the value of
the paramiter which I assume is volume, given it's 0 DB reading. I can
mute lept and right channels
and invert the phaze, but the volume slider remains fixed. Asfor clip
gain, I can't find a way to
adjumt that anywhere. The only other solution could be to put each track
I want to adjust on a
seperate bus, and then I get a make shift work around.

First of all, if you're dealing with tracks that contain multiple clips,
forget clip gain. The
Trim plug-in does what you're looking to do. Thing is, I could be
mistaken but it might be an HD
feature only. It's been years since I've used Pro Tools vanilla so I
honestly don't know for
sure. That said, the Trim plug-in allows you to trim each track just as
you would with a console
with tape machine returns. If you want to adjust a track's output across
the board, so to speak,
you can do that with the volume parameter of the Trim plug-in.

Hi, thanks for replying. I couldn't work out how to apply clip
gain. There's a
gain plugin in the Audio Suite, but I dont think that's accessible.
Plus, I
get a message about audio handles being disabled due to how
processing is set
up apparently. As for a trim plugin, I've not seen that. I'm going
to ghave a
full readup of the manual on a long journey I've got coming up, but
the manual
often speaks in visual language, so I'm not sure how useful that'll
be. Any
help 'on this is very welcome. Thanks a lot.
