Re: Key Stroke Question
Thanks Mike, I was just wondering, because I have become so used to it in my current set up. I am slowly learning that these two systems are totaly different animals. - Original Message - From: Mike Lockett To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2012 8:36 PM Subject: Re: Key Stroke Question Hey Nate unfortunately no. There are some work arounds though, you can go to your track list button and show only selected tracks. You can also VO shift M, or right click the solo, Mute, Rec enable buttons this will toggle all to the opposite state, and clicking one more time will toggle all of them back now you can make your selection. - Original Message - From: Poppa Bear To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2012 10:19 PM Subject: Key Stroke Question Is there a key stroke that will tell you these things, 1.

Re: Sound Devices USB Pre2 vs. RME Babyface vs. Apogee Duet 2 vs. Motu Ultralite mk3
Hi T.O.M, Thanks for your input. The preamps of the Sound Devices are perhaps the best, but how the converters are I don't know. The Sound Devices is a bit more expensive than the rest, I think around 700 euro and is very hard to find over here in the Netherlands. Apogee and RME is widely available though. I would like to have as much as physical controls on the unit itself as possible, it's not important it's small. Well, I'll have to feel the models to get a good idea I guess. Thanks again.

The downside is the Apogee is mac only, but that may not matter. Everyone who has heard anything apogee says there is some magic mojo in there that just makes evertything that goes through it sound better, makes you wonder they are doing to those converters lol. - T.O.M On Apr 13, 2012, at 4:15 PM, Ronald van Rhijn pa...@xs4all.nl wrote: Hey Brian, Cool you own a Fireface. The Babyface comes indeed with a break out cable for certain connections. Probably to keep the unit small, will get used to it hopefully. So the Total Mix software on pc is inaccessible. I read some settings like phantom power for mics have to be adjusted there. I tried the settings program on my Mac, but don't work when a RME interface isn't connected. If you would try it out for me I would be very grateful. You are right I also run Windows with Sonar, but hardly use it anymore and will go for Pro Tools from now on. The Apogee stuff is indeed mac only, will keep that in mind for sure. Thanks, Ronald Op 13 apr. 2012, om 17:37 heeft Brian Casey het volgende geschreven: Hi Ronald, I own an RME fire face UFX, which uses the same software as the baby face, and on windows though their total mix fx software isn't accessible, the fireface settings programme used for setting sample rate, latency and other functions is completely accessible. I'm not sure if this is the same on a mac, but I could check it with Voice over for you, but it could be a week or two before I get near a mac to do so. The total mix software is included as an option for creating moniter mixes and such, but you might never need or want to use it. The RME drivers are great as are the preamps, I think the baby face has two of the preamps that come with my fireface. The only annoying thing I noticed when researching the baby face for a friend is that a few inputs and outputs are only included as part of a break out cable, but since the break out cable includes the second headphone output this could actually be helpful depending on what your needs are. I have no experience of the other interfaces you mentioned.however if I remember correctly you are also a windows user, so perhaps the apogee isn't the best choice as it is mac only? If you can wait that long I'd be happy to check it out on the mac for you, but I don't use a mac for audio work at the moment, so it would be a week or two before I get a chance to test.

First I was going for the RME Babyface which had excellent reviews cause of it's great sound quality. But as we all know the manufacturer's software isn't always that great and accessible. The Sound Devices USB Pre2 does not come with any software and are important settings changeable within Pro Tools and dipswitches on the back of the unit. The used mic preamps are the same ones as found in their well known audio recorders. Does anyone have any experiences with these brands / models? Thanks, Ronald

Re: Issue with Record keystroke
Hey sorry keyboard lay out should be set to transport, you can find this option in preferences under operation. Make sure numpad is disable in voiceover utilities under commanders. The 3 key numpad should start record. l8r - Original Message - From: Poppa Bear To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2012 3:42 AM Subject: Issue with Record keystroke Ok, I am having problems simply recording on a track.

Re: Issue with Record keystroke
Hi, there are key commands that the Mac OS uses that are the same as PT. This will fix it. Go to the apple menu and choose System Preferences. Interact with the Preference Pains. Find Spotlight. Click on it and scroll around until you find keyboard shortcut. Make sure it's unchecked, right now it is checked so you have to uncheck it. Also, make sure there is nothing in any of the boxes for the shortcut such as F12 or command space. Once this is done go back to System Preferences and select Expose and Spaces. Choose the first tab which is the Expose tab. again, make sure f12 isn't checked and the same thing for dashboard which is in that same window. The bottom line here is you don't want command space or f12 checked because Pro Tools uses the same keys. You'll come across this in other situations so keep it in mind. Now to record simply hit command and space together and you're off. In case it doesn't start for some reason you may have hit command J at some point. If it doesn't start when you press command space try hitting command J which is a toggle for offline recording. Poppa Bear wrote: Ok, I am having problems simply recording on a track.
