Hey man. Actually, what comes on the CD is Melodyne, not Autotune. BUt it 
doesn't come as a download from the site. It's only available as one of the

Re: Auto-Tune V7

2011-10-17 Thread Chuck Reichel

Hi Kevin,
You are accurate now!

Melodyne is useless except in stand alone mode!
I am still thinking about upgrading my Autotune to Autotune 7, as  
waves Tune for pitch correction is still inches away from being  
VoiceOver friendly!
BTW I got my PT 9. upgrade from Washing pro not Avid, must have been a  
long session day! LOL

Talk soon

Hi.
Autotune 7 works fine as an insert effect in pt, and yes, the  
parameters do show up with voice over.  As a matter of fact, you  
see more stuff here than you do when using it as a VST in windows  
with Sonar, haven't tried it with reaper though.  Some folks like

Hey steve,

You don't need to go through the trouble of navigating to the edit mode 
and tool clusters. There are keyboard shortcuts for that. For example, f1 
through f4 selects the edit modes. f1 is shuffle, f2 is slip, etc. I can 
never remember the tools because I always use the Selector Tool but it's 
also something like f7 but, once you set it, as long as you don't select 
another tool, it'll stay the same tool.


The Edit and Timeline should always be linked and certainly, as I 
mentioned, having the edit selection and track selection linked is helpful 
for VoiceOver users.


If you uncheck "audio during fast forward and rewind" in the Preferences, 
the 1 and 2 keys will step you by bars if you're in bars/beats. The other 
thing you can do is increase your nudge value to 1 bar and use the plus 
and minus keys on the num pad to move forward and backward by 1 bar at a 
time.


If you're in bars/beats mode, press the nudge button in the counter 
display cluster and type 1 on the num pad and press Enter. Now you're 
nudge value is 1 bar.

The waves stuff does have some RTAS  plugs as well, however they
aren't very accessible atleast with out mapping the control to a
control surface  from what i have read on here. However From what i
understand the Izotope stuff should be VO friendly  and Izotope said
that do do some basic VO testing with all their Plugs now and welcome
feedback. Nectar is their vocal channel strip, alloy is there general

strip. I believe there should be free demos on the www.izotope.com

the other tracks in pro tools has the fader before the inserts and

up

how u like, then later adjust the master fader, it will pretty  much
cause you to have to go redo the compressor settings. A work  around 
is

to create a sub mimix aux track and send all your tracks to  that, add
all your master effects on that track and output that to the  master
track.

Christopher,

Most


often, a master track will control the main left and right  outputs 
for
a stereo mix. It's not necessary to necessarily use a master  track 
for

a regular mix but it certainly does help to create a master  track to
see the combined level of all of the individual tracks on the  master
track's level meter. Further, when putting bus compression over  an
entire mix, it would normally be done with a compressor plug-in  on a
master track. Finally, master tracks are used when creating  stems 
for

surround mixes, alternate mixes, instrumental versions, etc.  Again,
most people just use a single master track for overall mix  purposes.

The UAD stuff is killer by all accounts. It's likely I'll opt for that shortly. 
I was a fly on the wall, actually, a diner at a table, along with Chuck Ainlay, 
Frank Filipetti, Ed Cherney, George Massenberg, Phil Ramone and Al Schmitt and 
they absolutely praised the latest UA plugs.

Hi Gordon,

What channel strips from uad would you recommend?

Hi Monkey & Gordon,
If you have the Horse power use separate inserts for each Plug-in.
After all you have 10 of them in PT!
If you want the waves fader mapping contact me off list.
Once you hear the Waves H-comp you'll never go back! LOL
From my experience channel strips have tons of stuff to manage in the

Hi:
Well, I only use them on windows because I have the pci card which isn't 
supported on the mac.  I would need to get the firewire interface to use it 
on the mac and the word on the street is that it can only be used during 
mixdown because of latency issues.  And it would be a pretty expensive 
proposition because I would have to buy second licenses for all the plugs I 
would want to use.
