clip gain question
Hello all, I am trying to use clip gain in pro tools, and when I try to do control shift up and down arrow, mission control launches. I know I turned that off when I set up pro tools I thought, but for some reason it is launching mission control. What do I need to turn off to get clip gain working in regards to mission control?

The UA mer authorizing plug in purchase and or 14 day demos (which you can reset twice and with each purchase you get another 14 day trial for everything you don’t own) and the unison stuff isn’t accessible and requires some eyes/making keyboard meastro scripts for etc. The folks at UA are decent about TeamViewer to get you set up though.

Re: Putting up Pro tools Presets on Protools with speech
Hey Krister, The Pro Tools with Speech page is maintained by Matt Diemert. You could send the presets zipped up to this list so they reach a bunch of people by default, and Matt usually seems to pick up on those. I'll send you his email address off list in a sec though, wouldn't hurt to send them to him specifically. Thanks for making them man. Gonna be good to get my hands on Nectar on the Mac side.

Ow! ow ow! My ears! What the heck did I do!
OK, this is the weirdest! thing I've seen in quite some time. I have 4 vocal audio tracks in ProTools 12.0 that I'm working with. Basically, what I've done is, I have a compresser, and an E Q on all 4 tracks. The reason I'm not sending those tracks to an auxiliary track then popping the plugs over there is because I don't want the same equal configurations on each track. All 4 of them are tweaked a little bit suttally differently. However, this said, I do! want all 4 of them to have identically the same reverb. Same reverb plug, same tweaked settings, etc, same amount of reverb, yoddie yodda. So, for that reason, I have added a send to each of the 4 tracks individually, and routed all of them to the same auxiliary input. Then I popped the reverb plug on insert A of that AUX track. Now, when I play back the recording, even though the auxiliary track is turned way down to -16DB, I'm getting the highest pitched squeel you ever could imagine when I play the recording, then hit the space bar to stop. I don't hear it until I stop though. Trust me, yes, I have very very sensitive ears, and, God darn it, I do mean, sen? sih? tiv! but even still, this is even to my mom who doesn't have that issue, even to her, she says it is absolutely ear piercing! Why is this happenning? It never! did this before when I sent a single vocal track to an AuX input. Would I be correct in my theory to assume, O, K, but that was just it. One, track. Now, I have 4 tracks, therefore 4 times the amount of signal being fed to that input, therefore the resonance is so much higher because of this, that it's blasting the trail effects of that reverb, giving me feedback and other real weird effects that could be quite loud? That is the only! theory I can logically anticipate. Would I be correct? Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: Ow! ow ow! My ears! What the heck did I do!
Sounds like simple feedback. Make sure the outputs of the tracks aren’t set to the bus, so it’s just a send, and make sure the output of the reverb track isn’t set to it’s self or something like that.

Re: pro tools installation question
Hi Reviving this old thred to share my experience. I planned to buy my first ever PT, 11 at that stage but then 12 launched just 2 days before I placed the order with our dealer in South Africa, so eventually I ordered 12. Avid had no stock of perpetual licence packs so turned out I only got my PT12 yesterday after a months wait. So after creating a Avid account, iLok account, downloading PT12 and transfering the licence to my iLok, I did the installation. When launching PT for the first time there wasn't any aditional activation ssteps as mentioned here by Slau and elseware by other people, so I don't know if they dropped it again or what the case is. P.S. In my Avid account I also noticed that I have licences for PT 10, 11 and 12 though I know 11 and 12 can't be installed on the same drive, but I doubt I'll need 10 or 11 for anything. Nickus On 3/24/15, Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Brian, The installation itself is accessible via the installer application. What isn't accessible yet is the activation. You'll need your activation code, your iLok user name password as well as your Avid master account user name and password.

Re: Trying again before I make the plunge, UA Apollo interface
Hi, I did write the company about accessibility of this device before as one of my instructors at school had one but they were using it in Pro Tools not sure if they even had the special mixing software loaded on the school computer probably not. I would write the company and ask them about the usability with voiceover and also find out if there is a return policy if it is not accessible or if their special software is even required if you plan to use it with Pro Tools? I find lots of companies regardless of what you buy like to bundle lots of junk with their products that is nice to have but is not required.

Re: There's much about PT i don't understand despite having RTFM
Hey Nick, You can open it with iBooks and use it on an IOS device. We print the Bible in Braille, http://biblesfortheblind.org Keith Reedy God gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.

Is there a good method for converting the documents to html files or something that the talking book players can read so I keep the header navigation of the user guides? I mainly want to brush up on the Pro Tools 12 user guides so I would like some method for remembering where I left off or setting up preview not to cut off the first letter of words. Better yet is there a method to convert the documents to audio files by chapter using the mac voices?

I promise to look it up in the guide should i need it.:-) /Krister 19 maj 2015 kl. 15:59 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com: Hi Krister, Beat detective is used for things like generating bar|beat markers to an existing drum track or to separate clips based on transients in drum track. The Clips can then be quantized to the bar|beat grid. I've used Beat Detective only a few times but many years ago. It has recently become more accessible and, yes, you can use it although it'll take some trial and error. With the scope of its capabilities comes a learning curve best attacked by reading the pages devoted to it in the Reference Guide. The concepts are essentially simple but their implementations depend upon what the end result needs to be. In other words, if you're trying to match a tempo map to existing drums, it requires a particular approach and if you're trying to slice up a drum performance to match an existing tempo, it takes a slightly different approach. There are elements that define how the existing audio is categorized in subdivisions and how sensitive the detection will be for the analysis. There are visual markers that help a sighted user determine the desired level of sensitivity which makes it a little more difficult for a blind user but that's where the experimentation comes in. As I said, I've used it in the past but the kind of music I record doesn't call for Beat detective. The music I record is very much not on the grid. If you're doing dance music or hip-hop then it'll be more useful. Keep in mind that anything Beat Detective does, you can do manually. Beat detective is just a tool to make the job easier and less time-consuming. If it's the tool you need to use, then it's worth learning its ins and outs.

Anyways what i was about to ask is can a blind person use the so called beat detective and what do you do with it? Is it for imported tracks or such? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: how to make a screen capture
I'd use QuickTime and create a screen capture movie. Use DropBox or something similar to provide a link and I'd also try to compress it to make it manageable for upload/download.
