Re: Reordering tracks
Hi Herman, I'm not a template user myself so I can't suggest anything on that front. One other thing I'd suggest is to try zooming the window. I've encountered session files where the mix window was so small and off to the side that it made it especially difficult to navigate.

I have absolutely no idea why you're not able to play back your session. You can play it in version 10 and not in version 11?

Re: Reordering tracks
That works in one session that appears to be normal. What I mean by that is that the clusters are found when you hit vo home. I attempted to make a pretty complex template and instead of the tracks appearing after the clusters and the track list table, they appear before the clusters and the track list table. Both things do not work in the template that you outlined below.They seem to work fine in other sessions though. Which brings me to a related question, if you are importing a big template into a session is there a quick way to select all the tracks to be imported from the template? Right now I have to vo spacebar on each individual track under the destination column in the session data import dialog box.

Re: question about playing back a pro tools session I got from school recorded in pro tools 8 HD
Hi, I manually went to each track and made sure they were all set to outputs one and two and still nothing even when I use the transport controls mainly the return to zero one and then hit play. These files are only CD quality 24 bit as I checked using command and I before I opened them. My teacher even told me this as they told me that recording at the highest possible bit rate and sample rate is not always the best thing to do as it takes up lots of space and not all users have the equipment to play that back. I did make sure mute was not on or solo was not on as voiceover did not tell me this information in 10.9.1 or is this a bug? I am using pro tools 11.

Re: question about playing back a pro tools session I got from school recorded in pro tools 8 HD
Well, kind of unlikely that a teacher would be giving out 96K sessions when standard resolution would probably do fine for purposes of instruction. That's just my gut feeling.

Re: Reordering tracks
Hi Herman, Forget about those instructions. You can reorder tracks in two ways: First, in the tracks table, navigate to the track name (and not the show/hide button). Perform a mouse-down with Control-Option-command-shift-Space bar. Move to the track after which you'd like the dragged track to appear and press the same key combination for mouse up. Second, if the tracks table isn't showing, you can perform the same action within the Mix window (quite possibly the Edit window as well, although I haven't checked). Do a mouse down on the track name within the track's channel strip, stop interacting with the track, move to where you wish to drop the track and mouse up. Let us know if it works for you.

Uninteract, and navigate left or right along the horizontal display of tracks until you reach the track to the right of where you want the moving track to be dropped.

The track name field is landed upon as soon as you interact with the tracks 2. You also have to interact and be focused on the track name field to drop here for some odd reason.

question about playing back a pro tools session I got from school recorded in pro tools 8 HD
Hi, I was given a pro tools session by one of my instructors to mess around with but they recorded it on pro tools 8 HD and have now upgraded to 10. When I try to open up the session all of the outputs are set to different outputs on my digi 003 and no matter what I do no audio plays. I can see the wav files and select each one and play them back normally but would like to be able to get all of the tracks like they should be played back. I did go into each track and set them to outputs 1 and 2 but not totally sure if something else is going on that prevents the session from getting played back and I am not getting any errors from pro tools 11 on my system that says this playback engine can't play the files as they are at 44100 sample rate. What can I try to get these files working properly on my system? Nick Gawronski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

I just took a look at the duplicate dialogue and pt 8.04 is very cool you can choose what gets duplicated with accessible check boxes! Very cool compared to PT 5.1.. Let us know what happens? The atvantage is that it will save time with all the track I/O and effects especialy if it is related to the org GT track. Your mileage may very!

Last night I discovered that, not only had I not been successful in transferring my license across as I thought, I'd also somehow managed to bugger up the bundle license on my friends iLok, hence why it behaved the same. I never got to find out exactly what the window contained, as when I could get a set of eyes to run through the license manager I wasn't in front of my own computer, but it hasn't come up again since loading PT with a correctly activated license, so seems safe to assume that's what it was.

Hi Stefan, What operations can't you perform? You can interact with the table, select a clip, move out of the table, go to the Regions pop-up button (which is not labelled as a button but simply "Regions label) , click and select whatever option you'd like to perform. While you're at it, the shortcuts for some of the options are handy to memorize.

Re: PT vs Amadeus at editing
as far as editing goes, You can accomplish the same task in both. The workflows may be slightly different as they are two different programs with different interfaces, but same citing task can be done in both at the end of the day. If you already familiar with Pro tools, stick with it, no reason to switch programs just for editing in my opinion.

Re: Any good mastering plugin out there?
good to know about the groove3 discount. I just used up a one month free trial and while i didn't get in as many tutorials as i would of liked, I will say the videos were easy enough to follow for being videos. Joe gilder's understanding compression series is pretty good as well and comes with both video files and or mp3's so you can just listen along instead of watching the videos.

Re: Any good mastering plugin out there?
Take it one step at a time. Learn Eq, Then compression. Once you feel comfortable and mastered those, worry about multi band compression after that. Take baby steps,and put in the time t constantly work and learn and confidence in your mixes will come in time.
