A new book on Pro Tools

2012-12-17 Thread Simone Corelli
Hi guys, I have published an ebook on Pro Tools last month on Amazon: "Pro 
Tools in One Hour (coffee break included)". It is in Kindle format so you 
can read it using any pc, mac or mobile device, not only Kindles.
If you are interested check it here:

http://www.gtcs.it/websitegtcs/English/Entries/2012/11/21_Pro_Tools_resources.html

Here you can find a list of free plug-ins too.

I would like to receive suggestions on how to improve the book.

Thanks for your attention.

Affordable Mastering Software?

2012-12-17 Thread Walei Sabry
Hey guys,

My name is Walei. I apologize in advance because this isn't a Protools specific 
question but I figured if anyone would know about accessible software it would 
be you guys. I'm sorta new at all this. I'm happy to hear about all the 
accessibility improvements in protools. I would like to use it eventually but 
I'm not ready to take the plunge into learning a new software and spending a 
lot of money. I've been using Garageband for the last couple of years and I've 
gotten pretty familiar with it. My only problem is when I export a project, it 
comes out sounding flat and the volume is low. I've figured out that this is 
because I need to do some post production mixing and Mastering. So my question 
is, is there an affordable software that I can use specifically for that 
purpose? Or perhaps I'm missing something? Could this be done in Garageband? 
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Walei

Re: Lacie hard drives, r they good?

2012-12-17 Thread Nickus de Vos
As far as I know, the new retina mac book pros can't be updated at all
when it comes to RAM and their flash storage because it's chips
sauderd on to the motherboard. If Apple can do it, it will anyway be
very expensive so it's best to max out the specs of a retina macbook
pro if you buy it. On the ram side the same goes for the 21 inch iMac,
the ram is also not upgradable it's also saudered on to the
motherboard, as far as I know the 27 iMac has normal removable ram.

RE: Lacie hard drives, r they good?

2012-12-17 Thread J. R. Westmoreland
You are right about the badness of upgrading the new retina Mac Books. That
is why my new one will have 16gb of RAM from the get go. LOL It also has the
768gb SSD as well.

Just to point out most external hard rives you  buy are just a branded
interface with Western Digital  or Segate drives installed in them.  I think
those two companies are just about the only two companies left that still
actually manufacturer Hard drives anymore, there is a lot of rebranding
going on in that space. Also Ran is very easy to upgrade on most apple
computers minus the the new Retinas and macbook airs.. Especially on the
minis, iMacs and macbook pros..

 Hi. I've only had one of their drives and it worked fine for me.
 firewire 800 is your best option and if you got a mac mini server
 edition, you've got one firewire 800 port available.

RE: Lacie hard drives, r they good?

2012-12-17 Thread J. R. Westmoreland
I have a 2tb drive that is same specs and brand. I have been using it for a
couple of years and it is working great and very nice for editing. I can
record to my regular internal drive on the Mac Book Pro, which is also a
7200 WD drive, and it works fine. In fact, I used said setup last night to
record the Messiah in which my wife performed.

Yes 4 GB ram will be fine for a start but if you can aford the 8 GB from the
start it will obviously be better. As I understand you are looking to get
the quad core mini with the 1 TB hard drive and 4 GB of ram and this will be
fine together with a 7200 RPM external firewire
800 drive. I only have experience with Seegate and western digital drives
and can highly recommend both. I would suggest rather getting a drive which
is spesifically only firewire 800, those combo things could be nice if using
the drive on different devices, but it often doesn't have the best quality
firewire chips and what you're looking for here is a quality drive with
quality firewire chips and you'll get the best quality from seagate or
western digital.

Re: harmony engine

2012-12-17 Thread Chris Norman
OK, here's my work flow.

1. Create your vocal track, and record some vocals.
2. Either insert the plugin directly on that track, or create a new
auxiliary track, and set it's input, and assign a send on the track
you made in step 1 to it.
3. The only really important parameter you need for this to work in
Harmony Engine it's self, is the parameter that says "Fixed Interval",
or words to that effect. I usually set to MIDI Omni. This seems to
have the effect of reproducing the MIDI you feed it accurately.
4. Create a standard MIDI track, and arm it. Ensure it's input (via
the instrument section, which should appear before the MIDI Mute
button, if you have instruments showing from the mix windows view
popup button), is what you want - it defaults to "All". Set it's
output (in the same section), is set to the harmony engine plugin, I
use channel 1, I'm not sure as it matters much.
5. Hit either record or play, then, when you want harmony to come in,
simply play on your MIDI keyboard. Now, assuming you've recorded the
MIDI, whenever that passage plays again, the MIDI will trigger the
plugin.

I really hope this helps, bcause I've not typed for a good few days,
and I'm having to really concentrate on it LOL.

Have fun.
