Re: best vocal microphones to use with my digi 003
Rip the cd, then import it into Pro Tools. It will import into a stereo track. Then record your intro. Select the audio track you just imported and do the cut command. move the cursor to the end of you intro or about where you want the music to start, and paste. Then select the intro of the music track and set the fade if needed. Then select the end of the intro and set the fade out if necessary. You could also record the intro and then import the track about where you would want it as well.

Try setting the playback engine to your mac soundcard before opening the project. Not sure why the settings reverted back not sure, but try resetting it in system preferences again.

Re: Exporting Regions or clips.
I assume it brings up a dialogue asking what you want to name it or where to save it? Command+shift+k didn't seem to do anything. I selected a track, Healed all the separations, and then tried to the export region command, but nothing happened. I also tried the capture region but that option was grayed out.

Re: best vocal microphones to use with my digi 003
Hi, yes I would agree that importing the track into pro tools directly would probably sound clearlier but can you do things where like one track overlaps the over by a small ammount so as one faids out the next one starts playing that is depending on what the original song was doing? If the tracks are stereo tracks will I have two mono tracks or one stereo track?

playback issue in protools
Hey guys, Here's what I want to do. I am not hooked up to my interface right now and I want to be able to play back some sessions through my internal speakers n my mac. Kevin was trying to help me early this morning through email and he told me to go in to the playback under setup and set it to built-in output. When I did that, protools said it wanted to close the session and reopen it which it did and I know that is normal. I tried to press play and nothing happened. What am I missing or what do I need to do different to be able to do this? I guess I will need to reset this setting in pro tools every time I want to play through my macbook speakers and then when I want to go back to using my interface. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I noticed that when I hit command space, the default search tool came up in the mac and I know that I specifically disabled that. Any reason why that would have become re-enabled again? I know that I updated my mac yesterday to the latest update that apple released yesterday. COuld that be part of the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian
