Melodyne
Hi all, I wonder why no one has replied specifically about Melodyne. It would be interesting to know if it's accessible because it's really fantastic. I don't have a ProTools yet so I can't test it but I seem to remember there is a demo version available on their website. More generally speaking, can someone tell me what is the way to approach a plug-in developer about accessibility? Is it very hard to do? I know that Izotope has made most of their plug-ins accessible, at least on PC with their VST version. I don't know what motivated them but they did it. Could be that someone in the company has a blind friend or family member, I don't really know but it doesn't seem such a hard job.

jump to selected tracks
Hello all Something I hope that can get cleared up for me since I don't quite understand. In Sonar I got use to selecting a track on a control surface and the focus of Jaws went automatically to that track. Is that even possible in pro Tools using a control surface? Is there a function that quickly will jump you too the currently selected track using voice over? Or do I have to select the track, then find it, then interact with it. Just trying to wrap my head around being as quick and most productive as possible. I realize that I don't have to actually select a track in order to work with it, but if I'm working on a large project and I want to quickly jump to a track that's kind of in the middle of everything, it would be helpful. I can use the item chooser, but now were adding an extra 15 seconds. Just wanted to see what others did. HF
Re: jump to selected tracks
Hey Herman, When you say work with a track, do you mean editing the audio within the track or manipulating pan, mute, routing, etc.? If you mean editing, then, yes, there's a very quick way: press the select button on a control surface and the insertion point is in the track, assuming you have linked track selection with the insertion point in the Options menu. If you mean the other stuff, there's no other way that I know of except either moving through the mix window or using the Item Chooser.

Re: Melodyne
Melodyne over on the PC is somewhat accessible. At least as a stand alone. If you were working with one track like a Vocal for example, you were able to go in there and break things up into small sections and correct them with MIDI. blind cool tech had a podcast on someone using it awhile ago. Not sure if those same key commands would work within a Pro Tools Plug-in window. I suspect you would have better luck on the PC side of things.

Re: Melodyne
Hi HF, Basically the same thing so far on the mac. stand alone Menus are pretty accessible and with key commands I can change mono tracks. I have the cost effective Melodyne version That shipped with PT. I just took a look in PT and the RTAS version of Melodyne essentials controls change the values with the Control 24 but have not got it working yet. Looks like it might be accessible may be. YPMV PS grab Waves SoundShifter while its still on sale! $500 is regular price but its on for $129.00 as of last week.

Re: Melodyne
Awesome. I've got my Pro Tools 8 dissks, so I'll try to install it from there and see if I can get it working in stand alone mode. Kevin
Recently upgraded to PT 9 and have some questions.
Hello folks, I just installed PT 8 MP last week, then found out I was eligible for a free upgrade to the recently announced PT 9 MP. I still wanted the extra features in the full version of 9, that aren't in the MP version, so I opted to pay for the upgrade to the full version. The guy at Guitar Center charged me $250, which was $100 less than I expected, and he gave me a full install box. He didn't even check my serial number, or if he did, he just barely glanced at it. In light of this, I have a couple questions: 1. After I run the uninstall PT app on my PT 8 disc, do I need to do anything before I install PT 9? 2. What do I do with the USB dongle that was included in my PT 9 box? I'm not looking to get an extra license I didn't pay for. I'd really appreciate some guidance in this. I've had next to no experience with PT and Avid's authorization scheme. I'm eager to get up and running, but I want to do this right. Thanks a bunch, Joshua
A major breakthrough, I think
Hi: Well, I went ahead and installed pt9 on win 7. I wanted to see if I could save for example an ivory preset as a pro tools preset and then import it into the mac version. Since I can use the jaws cursor on the windows pt, I am able to get around in the plug/in ui for stuff that is not accessible with VO. It works. I created a session on windows with an instrument track and inserted ivory (finding the insert points on the track strip was a bit of a pita but there are tool tips and if you turn off other stuff you'll get one to use.) Once I inserted ivory, I was able to get around on it to load a factory setup of one of their grands, which played on the windows system fine. I then saved that as a pt preset and then exported it. Then on the mac side I copied the saved preset over the network to a folder I created and imported it into pt9 and it plays. So I should be able to create gpo setups like this, which would be really cool, as well as trillion and drum kit superior stuff.

Re: Recently upgraded to PT 9 and have some questions.
Hey Josh. You're dongle that you currently have will be automatically upgraded to Version 9 when you first run the program. Keep that other dongle around. You never know when you might need it. Kevin
Re: A major breakthrough, I think
Wow. Ok. I've got windows 7 here as a VM. I'm gonna install Pro TOols on it and do this with some plugs I have here as well. Fantastic. Thanks for this. Kevin
chipsounds presets loading
Hi All, Gonna cross send to both pt and logic access groups on this one. Been a minute since i last jumped in but i've been twisting neurons to get presets working for chipsounds from plog, an 8-bit synthesizer which emulates all the 8-bit processed sounds from atari, sega, commodre, spectrum, nintendo etc. I have been going back and forth with the developer who is now considering making the instrument accessible but i found a way in the meantime to load presets on different daws. The plugin is available as au and vst. The plugin costs 100USd but it's worth it with the great sounds that are generated from this little gem. The method for getting the presets is a bit difficult and you need a system setup for it, but it works everytime, from then you can save the preset in any daw if you want to hold onto the preffered presets are as there are 250 of them and none is described unfortunately because of UI inaccessibility. So here's the method: 1- Go to download the mouse positioning and click command line tool at http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2008051406323031 Just download the ready compiled application. 2- Move the application to your /usr/bin folder via terminal. The syntax is as follows Sudo mv ~/Downloads/click /usr/bin Type your root password to get it done. 3-install your plugin, fire up your daw, make a track with chipsounds as instrument. 4- Make sure that mouse ignores voice over cursor in voice over utility before proceeding 5- Open terminal, and type the following click command with options as specified Click -x 762 -y 559 These are the exact coordinates for loading your presets, it's actually on a down arrow which sifts through the list of their available presets. From now, your mouse should have gone to the correct coordinates on the screen. Confirm this with vo F5 twice. If your voice over utility announces position as inches, switch it to pixels. 6- Open your daw to the chipsounds window and turn vo off with command or command fn f5 7- click away with your trackpad and your sounds will come out through the keyboard when playing it. I know it's a long process right now, but i'll get to making an applescript app which you can bind to a gesture or key press to make it easier. However, it just works as it is right now. I was thinking that this method can probably work with other plugins if they allow direct or almost direct access to presets if there's a defined pattern to loading them. Hope someone enjoys chipsounds as much as ido. They go great with other effects such as rob papin's sets and even default ones combined sound pretty damn good. Best Yuma
