HI Tobey: My pleasure man! I found myself in your position around this time last year. And that I'm able to put a promo together for the first time in ProTools is a milestone for me. I didn't find most videos useful too. And even when I asked people in the group how to mix in ProTools, they referred to me ProTools' documentation and reference guide. The documentation showed me some things but couldn't helped me get onto producing anything as the tutorial I bought sometimes 3 years ago did for me. I can send you the tutorial directly, but it's also music production oriented.
Yes, you'll need the FlowTools down the line. For instance, when you want to apply compression onto the mix at the end or go into the EQ parameters. With the Flowtool, you won't have to go the the instructor in the tutorial I'll send you went through. I found some of the keys from the tutorial and some other ones from the class I took this winter from ISeeMusic. For the most part, the command keys I learned from ISeeMusic are FlowTools commands, which are online on the FlowTools page. This PTAccess Group has ProTools documentation in the PTAccess Group DropBox. Send another message if you don't hear or read anything from the group in regard to it by Monday. Slau, one of the guys leading the group, will add you on to group. Also when you look into the ProTools menu by holding down VO key and pushing M and then with the VO key still held, push right arrow and then push down arrow to go down the columns to find command keys for some tasks under file, Edit, and so on. Hope this helps. Dammie On 5/31/19, Toby Davey <tobydavey...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Dammie > That’s great and many thanks for your quick response and great tips!
