Question about pluggins and changing settings
Ok in a plug like autotune, where many of the settings are changeable in the voice over, the retune speed won't change for me, is there a work around for this? Another question, when changing settings in plugins, with the values, do you have to VO up and down all the time if using the key board, or is there a way you can just type the value in? Last question, When selecting a section of a track to apply an fx from the audio sweet section of plugins, I will use an fx on one portion of the track and then if I go back to use it on another portion of a selected track there will be a check next to the FX and I can't apply it to the new selection. What am I doing wrong here not to be able to use the audio sweet for multiple sections of FX placements? Any help would be great Nate Kile, Cross Road Recording Studios, specializing in Mixing, Mastering and all your audio needs. www.crossroadrecording.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: 5.1 mix.
Juan, The first thing about a 5.1 mix that is most challenging is the monitoring setup. Providing you have 5 full-range speaker enclosures of the same type along with a suitable sub-woofer and they are all positioned and calibrated, the next step is to create an I/O setup that supports surround routing. You have to figure out which convention you'll be using (i.e. L R C LFX LS RS or L C R LS RS LFX, etc.) and then you need to do your routing for the session. The most challenging part is the surround panner which, from my understanding, was never accessible in Pro Tools but there are joysticks that support tactile control of such panning. So, in a way, yes, it's accessible but quite complex. Slau On Feb 19, 2013, at 4:19 PM, Juan Pablo wrote: > Sorry, slaw. My question was very generic.

Re: Last stupid newbie question for this time - voiceover
To clearify something that was said earlier, voice over will only contine to come out of the built in macs outputs if and only if in voice over utility settings its set to use your mac's built in outputs. If in voice over utility you have it set to system defaults, then voice over will come out of whatever you have set to be your outputs in sound system prefs. My work flow is usually leaving my default audio on the mac set to its built in outputs. only Pro Tools and other audio apps/DAWS have my interface selected for audio ins and outs. i wear headphones plugged into the mac so i can hear voice over, and and monitor pro tools through my monitor speakers. In the rear cases i say have to record vocals in the same room as the studio monitors i have been known to wear two pairs of headphones lol. The easist way to do this is o to use one pair of ear buds of some sort and then bigger over the hear headphones over that.

Re: Making drum tracks when recording with a computer.
Depending on the Genre you are in you may find this useful. Personally i just use www.betamonkeymusic.com drum loops. Its really nice drums played by really good drummers in rally nice studios. All sliced and diced i into different loop packages by genres. I initially stumbled upon them as they were the only company doing stuff for hard rock/metal at the time. As I a m not a drummer and don't really have the time to commit to learning how to play, I have always found working with drum loops the closest thing to working with a drummer to jam out ideas with and do arrangements. That being said they cover the gammet of genres so don't think for a second they are just a Metal company, They got Jazz, Country, Blues, and of course pop and pop rock stuff and even a hip hop library.

Re: Last stupid newbie question for this time - voiceover
Hi Krister, Well, the problem is the headphones. If you're playing back material through monitor speakers and having VoiceOver come through the computer, everything is as it should be. I guess what you're wondering about is in a tracking situation, if you're recording yourself, you're wondering about having both sources in your headphones, right? Here's what you can do: Create an auxiliary input in your session and make its input source one of your unused line inputs. Plug your Mac's headphone output to your line input in your interface. Keep in mind that you won't hear your Mac except within the Pro Tools session and it'll be controlled by the aux input track's volume fader. If you're closing the session, unplug your Mac so the headphone jack isn't cutting off your computer's output to its built-in speakers.

Re: Making drum tracks when recording with a computer.
There are drums that come with pro tools, if you have a midi device such as a key board or drum machine to control the sounds in the pro tools instrument banks you will be good to go. In my case I use an oxygen USB keyboard plugged into the mac, when I want to use it, I open a session, use command, shift N to make a new track, then I choose the number of new tracks, then choose for it to be either mono or stario then the type of track, audio, master fader or instrument, I click instrument then boom, I got instrument tracks ready to use. I then go to one of the tracks and on the input source it will usually already have your midi/USB device and if not, just pick it. Then you should arm that track so that you know for sure that you will hear it out of your moniters. You then go to your incert banks, choos incert A, go down to instrument as the type of incert, and for drums you can use either "Boom" or go to the "Expand 2" library. Boom is drums and drum grooves and expand 2 has a drum section as well as a drum groove section. After that it is a matter of your tempo and quantising if you need it. Don't forget that in order to toggle on and off your metradome use the number 7 on the num pad.

Re: Last stupid newbie question for this time - voiceover
When you say that voice over will show up, if you can hear it durring a recording that doesn't mean that it is being recorded to a track in pro tools, that wouldn't happen unless you spacifficly somehow had voice over routed to an input source in pro tools. If it is a bother, just turn your voice over volume all the way down before you hit record, or just toggle Voice Over off before you recorde.

Re: And the newbie questions keep on coming, this time about hard drive setup in PT
Hi Krister, Use your bootup drive as you normally would. Use an external drive for the Pro Tools session.

Making drum tracks when recording with a computer.
Hi, Now since i'm about to begin the jorney of mastering or at least trying to get the hang of Pro tools, i wonder about drum tracks. I'm used to old drum machines like the Yamaha RX15 or the Roland TR-707 or the likes thereof, but since such drum machines aren't around and maybe not even works propperly in a computer recording environment what with Midi and all that, i wonder if there's an accessible drum machine that comes with PT or what people use to make their drum tracks, and if what you use are available for the Mac? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

And the newbie questions keep on coming, this time about hard drive setup in PT
Hello. I thought i heard somewhere that you should have two hard drives when you work with Pro tools. Can i have an internal and an external hard drive or how should this all work?What are the minimum requirements for the hard drives? Where should i place what? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: Projectmix - anything i need to know?
A couple corrections / clarifications: 1. The 4 buttons above each of the faders from bottom to top are: "Mute," "Solo," "Select," and "Record Enable/Disable." 2. in order to put ProjectMix in to Pro Tools mode, you need to hold down Aux 1, not Aux 3. That's probably why you can't get the Transport buttons, Shuttle Wheel, and some of the other features to work. Hope that helps.

Re: Two questions, automation with non-touch sensitive faders and the MBox control panel
There's a difference between touch sensitive and non touch sensitive motorized faders. Touch sensitive faders will disengage the motor the moment you touch it, allowing you to rewrite automation. Faders without touch sensitivity will not disengage the motor, thus you're fighting with it as it's trying to move in conjunction with the automation that is being played back. The workaround for this for the bcf is to undo a pass of automation instead of rewriting it. Then, you will never fight the motor while writing in new automation, thus burning the motor out.
