An audio track that won't record revisited
Hi folks. Audio track problem solved. The solution was very simple indeed. In order to hear the recorded material from the track, you have to unarm it otherwise you’ll hear your input instead. Shaking my head, calling myself unprintable names, oh well, this has to be a case of learning as you go.:-) /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: Any accessible Preamp plugins?
I never could get that to work. I dono why. I select the track/tracks I want to apply clip gain on, select the audio, then do ctrl+shift+up and down arrows. Maybe I need to go listen to Matt's tutorial again on how to do it. A friend of mine told me how to do this, but he may a been remembering wrong.

Re: An audio track that won't record revisited
Krister, Toggling the input mode between Auto Input and Input only monitoring with Option-k will allow you to monitor recorded material even if the track is record enabled. I described this in a previous response. You might've missed it. Best, Slau On Sep 13, 2014, at 6:56 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Hi folks. > Audio track problem solved.

Re: Any accessible Preamp plugins?
Pro Tools certainly has a Gain plug-in but it's meant for file-based operations within Audio suite. A real-time gain plug-in is sort of moot because one would normally just attain the proper levels between preamp and interface and faders do the rest. Oh, and there's always the master volume on the monitor speakers ;) Slau On Sep 12, 2014, at 9:19 PM, Chris Smart wrote: > i'm surprised ProTools doesn't have a simple gain plug-in you can insert. > > At 08:10 PM 9/12/2014, you wrote: >> I'm sure you have your reasons, but even preamps will introduce some form of >> harmonic characteristics that can be similar to the sounds that compressors >> offer.
