select  the track in question and use the split into mono option, it may be 
found either by right clicking on the track (VO+Shift+M) or by looking under 
the different menus to find it, don't remember where it is.

There is no way to match the gain knob other than using your ears really. 
You can record with the  gain all the way down so u know they are even and 
use a gain plug in in PT to bring the level up evenly. Also you can split 
your stereo track into two mono track and pan then hard right and hard 
left and that way you will have a meter for each side. Also you can record 
to two mono tracks panned hard left and right instead of  a stereo track 
as well.

OK, so here's the deal.  On my audio interface, I have 4 inputs.  1/2, 
and
3/4.  Basically, what it amounts to is, these are all mono channels.  So, 
in

other words, 1 and 3 are the left channel, and 2 and 4 are the right
channel.  I hope that makes sense.  It definitely should.  Because of 
this,
The only way, to have only one of those channels sent down the pipeline 
for

lack of better word, to my DAW, which of corse, is ProTools, yet come
through both left/right channel, is to create a mono audio track.
Otherwise, if I try recording something from input 1 as a stereo track, 
even

if my ProTools pan dials both are set 50/50, or in other words,
center/center, I'm only gonna get signal from the left channel.  Hince, 
same
other way, if I record something isolated on say, input 2, because input 
2

on my interface only is for the right channel, remember: 1/3=left.
2/4=right.  So, if I record isolated on channel 2, again, unless I'm 
doing
it as a mono track, we'll only get sound on the right channel.  BTW, 
nope.
No pan dials on the actual interface.  That's all done through the DAW. 
So,
with all this said, here is my question.  I have a quarter inch cord 
which
is running from the stereo headphone jack of my keyboard, to the other 
end

which is split into a mono y on the patch cord, so I can plug into the
interface's 3, and 4.  the thing is, now, I have to turn up the gain on 
the
interface on both channel 3 and channel 4 to get a signal on both the 
left

and right channel when doing a stereo track.  OK, so my question is, this
means each gain knob on my interface is seperet.  in other words, the 3 
dial

controls just that, only input 3 which is only the left channel, whilst 4
controls the gain/input level only for the right channel.  So, 
essentially,
I could have input 3 on left way up, while input 4 on right way down. 
Or,

vice versa.  You probably already have foreshadowed where i'm going with
this question, haven't ya.  Basically, in a situation like this, how do I
know that both input gain dials are set equally?  I don't wanna have more
signal ump on my left channel than the right channel.  Yeah, you can move
the pan dials in P T, but remember, that only is the output sound after 
the
audio has been recorded.  Same goes with the volume slider on each track 
in

ProTools.  That only controls your output, not the input.  So with that
said, how can I snap both the inputs to the same gain level on my 
interface.

NO, there is not a feature on the interface to have it do this
automatically.  Is it just gonna be a matter of listenning, paying real 
real
real! close attention, and guessing, or what?  Also, with a stereo track, 
I
noticed in P T, I still only seem to be getting one meter showing per 
track.

I guess that is the meter over all for both left and right channel.  I'm
saying this is the case both in a stereo or! a mono track, that I only 
see

one meter.  Can I make it where if it's a stereo track, I can see two
meters?  One for left, and one for right?  This way i have a bit more
control over how much level is going where?

Hi Christopher & Kevin,
Cant wait to see those instructions from "Chris NOrman" for "Harmony Engine 
Evo"!

In the mean time I have attached the fader layout. :) for Harmony Engine Evo.


This is directly from "Antares Audio Technologies" and was the layout for the 
Control/24 but they are the same for most controllers.
They have the abbreviation first follow by the name of the parameter.
My favorites so far are "Group Evo and Vocal Multiplier Evo Both are great out 
of the box!
Yes the library is accessible for pre sets. ;)
"

Talk soon

The page will just have everything on it. Youtube vids, MP3's, soundcloud 
links, etc.

Try pressing control ;. It will select only 1 track and then deselect 
everything else. Hope that helps.

Asking again: PT Access U R L

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I asked this questin the other day, but got no responses that I could tell.

When I go to:

http://www.ptaccess.com

I get a page that said log in, and asks for a e-mail and password, then has 
a thing that says unlock application for testing.


So, i obviously must not have the correct u r l.  What is the URL to the 
site Kevin is doing for PT Access?


I really want to check it out.

Re: Deselecting All

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Jon,
The short answer is to resize the tracks table to the right by 30%.
unfortunately Avid has not made the resize bar visible to VoiceOver so you 
should get some sighted assistance for this.
Some people have had good results by using the VoiceOver command to resize the 
tracks table though! :)
What I do is to make up a pt template with the tracks table large enough for 
the normal track selection to be accomplished.
Once this is done everything is just "BOB"!! ;)
You could also scrub the tracks to get the first 2 of them selected then hide 
the rest and deal with those 2 tracks remaining!
There are several other ways that the list could chime in on I'm sure!
If you get stuck give me a call!
I'm on the East Coast of the matchless! USA!!!
YMMV

Deselecting All

[Jon Solitro]

Sometimes when I open up a session, all the tracks are selected, and I 
can't seem to figure out how to just go back to single tracks being 
selected. I interact with the Track List, and try selecting tracks one by 
one with the VO cursor, but they all just stay selected. How do I deselect 
all?
