Re: Pro Tools 9 confirmation
Hi Frank, If you don't have an interface connected, the default output is apparently set to the Pro Tools Aggregate Device. By default, VoiceOver will come through the computer's output and Pro Tools will output through the interface. Again, that's assuming the interface's drivers are installed and the interface is detected. I seem to be having some trouble with the aggregate device but I haven't yet connected to the HD interface. I'll test that some time today. Slau On Nov 19, 2010, at 12:14 AM, Frank Carmickle wrote: > Hello > > Well I didn't really get to write much about my experience with pro tools 9 > as of yet.

Re: Pro Tools 9 confirmation
Hi all, Great news about PT9, but my question kind of relates to Frank's and routing Voice over. I'll be doing some work on a HD system over the next few months, and need to have a think about how I'll route Voice over into the control room. The Mac pro is inside a machine room just off the control room, so directly connecting headphones isn't an option, plus I'd prefer to have it on speakers anyway. One thing I was considering was using a programme like Jack or some such to re-route the audio inside the computer from the apple core audio into ProTools and bring it up on a fader. This way Voice over would actually appear inside the DAW, and I could have it on a fader on the desk too to have physical control over the level. The other alternative I guess is to patch out a cable into the control room from the core audio's output on the CPU and have it on a small powered moniter of some sort next to the desk, though I'm probably going to run into impedance maching problems there. I know some of you guys discussed Voice over on headphones versus on speakers before, but if I remember correctly there wasn't something like this discussed.

Re: audio IO
Hey herman. Whenever you get that weird problem with showing only comment fields, just close the mix window and reopen. Sometimes tracks are sized weird and nothing is seen. Once you reopen the mix window, all will be well.

Re: Pro Tools 9 confirmation Getting VoiceOver to studio rooms.
Hi Brian, Here is what I did for routing VoiceOver to my control room I was considering using an "Digital Coax & Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter" But went with the most direct clean way to do it.. From my amp closet I split the Audio out from my mac pro quad core with a Y jack.. Then took 1 side of the audio and plugged it in to 2 direct boxes I had laying around.. Then took the balanced outs "L&R" out to my mixer in the control room that is dedicated to VoiceOver Outspoken and all my studio room talk back Microphones .. I took a feed to my little powered monitor sitting under my desk and bang! Job finished.. Since it is integrated in to my rack with all my patch bays I can route the signal any where between my 4 studio rooms.. No hum!! The other side of the splitter from the mac pro I just extended to my computer speakers in studio C for my daily experiments on the PT 8.1.. This way I don't half to boot the whole studio and save wear and tear on all the other studio systems..

Re: Pro Tools 9 confirmation
Hi Brian, I wouldn't recommend routing VoiceOver into a Pro Tools session. If you solo a track, you'll mute VoiceOver. Even if you were to be savvy enough to put it through a solo safe aux input, as soon as you close the session, you'd lose VoiceOver. I'm not suggesting that it's not a good idea to route it to a dedicated channel on a mixer like Chuck but that assumes you have a mixer to begin with. Many people are running Pro Tools without mixers and control surfaces so you'll need to route it to something else if that's the case. Since the computer's audio output is line level, you'll have no problem whatsoever running a signal several meters to a pair of powered monitors, for example. certain models have a headphone mini jack built right in to the face of one of the enclosures.

Pro Tools, Core Audio and VoiceOver
I guess I've come to realize that there's an inherent conflict between Pro Tools and voiceOver as it relates to Core Audio. VoiceOver uses Core Audio (built-in system audio) for its output. Pro Tools will not playback through Core Audio if anything else is sharing it. In other words, the two can't be used simultaneously. Of course, with an external audio interface, naturally, everything works fine. It's only when trying to use Core Audio for both VoiceOver and Pro Tools that the conflict arises. VoiceOver speaks but Pro Tools doesn't play back anything. That's a bummer since I was hoping to be able to use Pro Tools on the laptop occasionally while not having an interface attached. Oh well… at least now, we don't have to be limited to the Avid interfaces and I can pick up something bus-powered and ultra small. Just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone who was hoping for the same scenario. Slau

I suppose that's true and, for what it's worth, if I'm working off a USB device with VoiceOver routed through the speakers or vice versa, it would probably do the job well enough. I'll give it a try.

Re: meter readings
OK so that's just normal. Another related note, I am very use to meter readings in Sonar so don't know how exactly translate. So if I get a reading of 138 DB, I think that's good. The way Sonar reads them is minus everything until it gets to zero. So a great reading is minus 6DB.

Hi Slau, Option clicking with the mouse as we spoke about the other day did not work.. But when you get a contextual menu on the desired out put and then pull down the sub menu for track output assignments and then hold option key and hit return while you have the desired output in your sites! all of the outputs change just like the old PT! To recap option drag with the mouse does not work.. What works is when you get a contextual menu on the output and hold option down when you find the output you want and Bang!!!

Re: meter readings
Hey Herman, Yes, it's all full Scale so everything is below zero. minus 6 should be just about the highest peak you hit. If you change the meter to refresh, which is its default, I believe, it'll display current readings. So, if you keep using Control-Option-f3 while focused on the meter, you'll get a sense for average levels which, depending on school of thought, should be around minus 20 to minus 12.

Re: Changing audio track outputs all at once?
Chuck, The option modifier does, in fact, work. Here are the exact steps I used to achieve this result: 1. Create 3 new audio tracks in a blank session. 2. Move focus into the second track in the Mix window. 3. Interact with the track and move down to the input assignment. It should say something to the effect of being Input 2 by default, depending on which interface you're using and how its paths are named. 4. Route the pointer to the VoiceOver cursor with Control-Option-Command-f5. 5. While holding down the Option key, press either a mouse button or track pad. The submenu of input assignments will come up. 6. Navigate to an input other than Input 2 and press return. You'll notice that all three channels' inputs will be set to the new input path. Apple still needs to implement the function of modifier clicking with VoiceOver but, for now, this is the workaround.

Re: Changing audio track outputs all at once?
Hi Slau, I followed every step you listed but the only way it works on my mac pro running 10.6.4 and using PT 8.1 is to get a contextual menu on the desired input or output.. May be PT 9 is a bit different? Buy the way "command option" to increment the track order still does not work with your method or my method! But Thank GOD getting that contextual menu and then navigating to the desired track number and then hold down the "option key" and press return does work.., for changing all tracks to the same output or input Talk soonOn Nov 19, 2010, at 4:41 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: Chuck, The option modifier does, in fact, work. Here are the exact steps I used to achieve this result: 1. Create 3 new audio tracks in a blank session. 2. Move focus into the second track in the Mix window. 3. Interact with the track and move down to the input assignment. It should say something to the effect of being Input 2 by default, depending on which interface you're using and how its paths are named. 4. Route the pointer to the VoiceOver cursor with Control-Option- Command-f5. 5. While holding down the Option key, press either a mouse button or track pad. The submenu of input assignments will come up. 6. Navigate to an input other than Input 2 and press return. You'll notice that all three channels' inputs will be set to the new input path. Apple still needs to implement the function of modifier clicking with VoiceOver but, for now, this is the workaround.

But when you get a contextual menu on the desired out put and then pull down the sub menu for track output assignments and then hold option key and hit return while you have the desired output in your sites! all of the outputs change just like the old PT! To recap option drag with the mouse does not work.. What works is when you get a contextual menu on the output and hold option down when you find the output you want and Bang!!! LOL Command option as of yet does not incrementally change the outputs yet.. I will keep trying to get it to work unless any body has the cure!

Re: Changing audio track outputs all at once?
Chuck, Are you saying that clicking a mouse pointer while you're focused on the input selector doesn't bring up a contextual menu for you? It absolutely does for me every time, in Pro Tools 9 as well as version 8.0.4. I'll venture to guess that you have the mouse pointer following the VoiceOver cursor and this has caused issues in the past. I'd try decoupling them and see what happens.
