Using Pro Tool with HUI
Hi, Is there a manual on how to use Pro Tool with a HUI compatible control surface? Thanks, Chi
Re: Another problem with Pro Tools and ML
I have the same problem on my machine running PT 10.01 on ML 10.8.1. Also, VO doesn't tell me if record, solo, and mute are on or not. Good thing to have PT with Lion partition.
Re: Using Pro Tool with HUI
Hi Chi, each control surface that uses the HUI protocol has unique functionality. There are many basic controls that are standard like the transport, and record, mute and solo buttons. Some surfaces have proprietary modifiers, however, and you'd need to refer to the individual manufacturer's manuals for those details.

Re: Another problem with Pro Tools and ML
I would not recommend using Mountain Lion on a recording/mixing machine. In my experience, upgrading your OS before it is tested and certified by every single software vendor that your studio is dependent upon has never been a safe move. I have many friends who are not recording engineers that have trouble with simple usage of their go-to applications with ML, and plugin makers and hardware drivers usually take a bit to catch up with Apple's changes.

Does Pro Tools have a lock track function
Hiya All, I have a project which has just topped my computer's CPU off. It has a couple of software instrument tracks, and a lot of Eleven Free plugins. I can't even get it to play the opening bars LOL. So, I was wondering: Does Pro Tools have a lock track function like Garage Band does? I seem to remember Lock Tracks gave you the ability to bounce a single track to disc, so it wouldn't be processed. This seems like a really simple feature, so I'm just wondering if Pro Tools can do the same. Cheers, and have fun.
Re: Another problem with Pro Tools and ML
You're right, but there was a big thread on all of this. I meerly resurrected it so Slau can make a lovely list to show our friends at Avid. On the bright side though, when interacting with Plugin parameters, you can now hear the correct value that you're changing too, rather than the previous one LOL, and everything is over all smoother. Just looking forward to Avid sorting their stuff out. Cheers, On 30 Aug 2012, at 21:41, J Clements wrote: I would not recommend using Mountain Lion on a recording/mixing machine.

Re: Does Pro Tools have a lock track function
Route the output of your track to an unused bus. Create a new audio track and set its input to that bus. Record enable the new track and play the session or the selection range in which that track is active. Make your initial track inactive or unassign its voice.

Re: Does Pro Tools have a lock track function
First of all, why are you putting all those plugins on your instrument tracks? Maybe I'm misunderstanding exactly what you're doing, but if I'm understanding correctly, would it not be easier to put the effects all on an auxiliary track, then use your sends to route the audio from all the instruments needed through to that one aux, then just move the aux track up and down if you needed to ajust over all amounts etc? Sorry, maybe I'm not getting what you're trying to accomplish, but aside from making certain tracks be inactive... that can simply be done by interacting with the track list table, making sure the tracks you wanna make inactive are selected, then do your vo+shift+M and go down to make inactive, and hit vo+space. Just know that if you do that though, odds are, you'll then not be able to even hear the tracks since they're inactive.

Re: Another problem with Pro Tools and ML
What I'd like to know is exactly what in the first place, supported or not would cause it not to read in one O S, while it does in another. Is it how Voiceover actually handles rendering things? I guess what I mean is, is it most likely an issue of Voiceover not reading correctly, or is it more an issue of something changed in ml that caused those meters through the PT side of things to need to be recoded. Maybe kind of a stupid question, and being no one on here probably has access to the O S X source code nor the PT source code, I'm sure probably that none of us really exactly know. or... do we?...

Re: Another problem with Pro Tools and ML
I'm not a PT expert, butI'm guessing if a track is record enabled then it shows the input meter, if it isn't, it probably shows the track output meter, which would come after the compresser. So the compresser could be reducing the level of the track output to that minus 12 or whatever, but the signal could still be clipping hitting the front end of the compresser. That shouldn't matter though as long as you're careful with your levels when recording in the first place. I'm not positive, but it could get more complicated if you record with a compresser on your track, as that might disguise clipping in the same way if showing track output meter rather than a track input meter. Hopefully you get what I mean. A track input meter tells the truth about the raw audio data that's actually being captured, where an output meter is subject to whatever processing you may have on the track.

I'm running the cabs distorted, to achieve a stereo electric guitar sound from a mono signal LOL, which actually worked pretty well, but it did mean that I had 4 instances of Eleven going. Just for the archives sake, I got round it in two ways: 1. Using Slau's suggestion, I did the following: Made all non essential tracks inactive and hid them (just so I could see which ones weren't being used). I already had my recorded guitar signal dry on one channel, so I routed it to bus 9 and 10. I created two AUX channels, both Mono (Eleven doesn't show up in stereo), one with bus 9 as the input, and the other with bus 10. Got the amp settings, and eq how I wanted, then set the track's outputs to bus 23, and 24 respectively. Finally, A last stereo audio channel, with it's input set to Bus 23-24 was used, which when armed took the audio from the mess documented above, and recorded the guitar signal to a stereo track.

Thanks Slao, I'm working with Mackie Control Universal Pro, and they have documentation for each DAW.

Kind a makes you wonder if Avid is looking for Beta testers, who could from a blind perspective run the alphas of P T... obviously not on a production machine, and be able to test things. Chris.
Re: Does Pro Tools have a lock track function
The idea is that TDM will be phased out in time. slau On Aug 30, 2012, at 7:53 PM, Chris Norman wrote: Ah brilliant, thank you. Also, I'm thinking this is a stupid question, but just want to check, if a plugin is TDM only, Amp Farm for example, does that mean it can only be used on Pro Tools HD systems?

Re: Another problem with Pro Tools and ML
Yeah, I'm really sorry I didn't do that. The state of many buttons, such as edit mode, tools, etc. is also not spoken any more.

Also, VO doesn't tell me if record, solo, and mute are on or not. Good thing to have PT with Lion partition.
