Hello Slau!

Thanks for the informations.

Do you know, if the LED setting is a HD feature or is it available on all Pro 
Tools platforms?

Re: Pt first

['Gary Readfern-Gray' via Pro Tools Accessibility]

Agreed, I only mentioned Garageband because of the amount of free
content that comes with it. If you've got Acid loops, or even if you
haven't, PT does have time compression/expansion capabilities.

RE: Pt first

It's not Apple loops. From what I know, we should be able to use ACID loops. 
GarageBand is a possible option. However, it will never get me closer to using 
PT.

Pt first

[Andy B.]

Hi all,

 

I downloaded PT First last night. Since it runs on the PT 12.3.1 core, it is
completely accessible. I can access all controls (from what I can tell) with
VO. Unfortunately, PT is a different animal from any other DAW I have ever
seen. Therefore, I am completely lost with how to use it. At this point, I
mostly want to use looped samples to create projects.

I have the basics of mixing/editing under my belt, so all I need is a guide
on how to use PT with Voice Over. Anyone have any tips/tricks?

Hello All,

Thinking about getting just the chrystallizer plug-in and just curious how 
accessible is it and how have you used it?

Any thoughts/advice appreciated.

RE: what would you pay for a comprehensive Pro Tools tutorial?

[david]

Now there we’re at pt 12.3 I think that a lot of things have improved since pt 
8 or pt9 in terms of voice over accessibility and what you’re able to do now. I 
would say about $100 for a five part series concerning specific things 
concerning pro tools.  The problems that I had while I was in school were that 
recording midi was a chore and you didn’t have accessibility and the adjusting 
of tempo was something that was a problem but I don’t know how much things have 
gotten.  Someone else would have to speak to these issues.  Just something to 
think about

Definitely the groove three model would be a good guideline. I would support it

Hi Slau

M do I smell something brewing at BeSharp?

I think a great guideline to look at when putting something like this together 
is the Groove3 model, both in terms of pricing and chapter lengths.

 

If chapters are too long it can be a mission to navigate them, especially if 
you are going back later looking for a specific bit. As for pricing, someone 
else already mentioned this will be sold to a much smaller audience and you 
would want to be paid for your time, but I think if going too expensive it 
won’t sell too well.

For example I’ll pay $50 for a tutorial series on a specific topic, but if that 
same series costs $200 then I’ll rather spend the $200 on a new plug-in and 
figure it out myself. Not saying it must be $50 and $200 will be crazy, but I 
think you get the idea, you can only charge so much for a online tutorial.

I'm not talking about a replacement for the Pro Tools manuals but rather a 
series of modules that cover the VoiceOver specific techniques of using Pro 
Tools. I know this is still pretty vague but I also wonder what kind of scale 
people would expect: a 5-hour series? A ten-part series of one-hour 
segments?One or two main parts with smaller modules for more specific subjects?
Anyway, I might have an idea for such an undertaking but feeling the water 
first. Please share any relevant thoughts.

Re: new song of mine

Hi Steve,

Apart from the minor mix comments, the issue of orchestration is a big picture 
item and, of course, a matter of style and taste, thus the "grain of salt" 
reference. Of course, it's not a matter of good or bad but just different. 
Sounds good.

Re: Ok guys please help: Click II - Test session

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi Slau,
Yes there is some strange behavior with El Capitan! :( 
I just brought on line my new HDX system with PT 12.3 last night, and one of 
the first "bugs" encountered was in the "dashboard" trying to navigate to my 
external FW 800 glyph drive to save the new pt session i just named.
until sighted assistance confirmed VoiceOver was not "seeing" that option for 
saving to different places other than the last location used!
Any body else seeing this?
Talk soon

Re: Soundtoys/chrystallizer

[Nick Baltimora]

hey John, Crystalizer is a reverse verb very nice for creative uses, Yes 
it's  accessible via control surface and VO, even if via VO changing some 
parameters takes more time. As you can read on the previous post on the 
Soundtoys plug ins, the preset menu is not accessible, but you can easily 
fix this issue downloading for free and accessible version of the presets 
from the PT with Speech web site, H.I.H.,

Re: Waves API2500 Comp on Sale

[Slau Halatyn]

The 2500 is a great compressor. I'm not sure how the plug-in stacks up against 
the hardware unit though. Give it a try. Don't they have a demo?

Waves API2500 Comp on Sale

[Chris Smart]

Hi.

Are any of you fans of the API2500 compressor plugin from Waves? From 
the description, it sounds like it's intended for master bus applications.


For some reason, I hear much more about SSL and Neave gear and 
emulations than I do API, so I'm not sure how well regarded API is.

 Martin,
 
 I've downloaded the original session file attachment and opened it directly
 from the laptop to test something. When I opened it before, it was after I
 had opened the file from the HD system on the studio computer. I wanted to
 eliminate any variables that might have influenced the outcome. No issues
 occurred. One other consideration would be to have someone else on the
 list try to open it, preferably on a vanilla system as the version on my 
 laptop is
 also technically PT HD.
 
 Here's the file again if anybody could take a look:

Re: new song of mine

[Vaughn Brown]

Hi Steve,

I agree with Slao about the instrumentation being a little too thick
to fully appreciate what is happening. Also, the snare sounds a little
buried and overly snappy. Maybe adding a little bit more bass boost
may warm it up.

I really enjoyed your lyrics. This is a great storytelling type. Thank
you for sharing! I look forward to hearing your other songs.
Kindly,
Vaughn

 Hi Steve,

 Nice job. Sounds pretty balanced and all. OK, here's my comments, since
 you asked for feedback and take it with a grain of salt.

 To me, it sounds like you've got a whole lot going on in terms of
 instrumentation. There are several guitars popping out here and there
 but there isn't a clear riffing instrument. In other words, every
 instrument is riffing either here or there and, at least to me, the
 effect is that each riff just gets buried among all the others. Picture,
 something like a Dire Straits tune. There's essentially one guitar
 that's doing the riffs while the other handles rhythm. To me, that's
 more memorable and more of a highlight. I guess it's the idea of keeping
 the dish simpler, with less ingredients while this tune has a whole lot
 of ingredients and, while it may taste good, it's hard to pick out the
 key ingredients because there are so many things competing for one's
 attention. Naturally, that's more of an orchestration comment rather
 than anything to do with mixing, per se, but that's the first thing that
 stands out to me.

 As far as mix specifically, I wasn't crazy about the snare sound. It
 seems to be buried a bit yet still harsh. The upper mid range seems to
 be a bit pronounced.

 Finally, before your second chorus, I believe you have the sound of
 clearing your throat that somehow got in there somewhere, perhaps on the
 harmony vocal or something.

 Given that you haven't been working in Pro tools too long, this all
 sounds good. Of course, you've been around the block before with other
 recording scenarios so no surprise :)

 Cheers,

 Slau

Re: Current situation with VoiceOver (PT 9/10/11/12)

[722]

Hi Slau,

I would be glad to let everyone use the scripts, but it isn't just that 
simple as running a single application. I am a sound engineer myself, not a 
programmer. But maybe I can think of something. Here is some more info how 
it currently works.

We are running a freeware software called MidiPipe from the developer 
SubtleSoft. Pro Tools HUI output port is routed via virtual MIDI port to 
MidiPipe input, MidiPipe routes it further to the hardware controller. 
Based on the data sent from Pro Tools to the controller following functions 
are currently available. The speech output of the software is activated 
automatically when the user turns VoiceOver off (to prevent doubling 
announcements). My collegue doesn't need VoiceOver when mixing or 
recording. The software automatically runs VoiceOver back on anytime when a 
dialog box in Pro Tools appears and turns it off again as soon as the user 
resolves the dialog. As soon as you manually turn VoiceOver on, the 
software stops speaking again. The software speech can be interrupted using 
the Ctrl key anytime - like VoiceOver.

The functions:

- say channel name(s) when selected
- say no track selected when last track removed from selection
- say solo + channel name(s) when soloed
- say solo off when last solo was deactivated
- say mute + channel name(s) when muted
- say rec / disarm + channel name(s) on rec arm / disarm
- say peak + channel name(s) when clip indication present on meter
(Note: These functions currently work reliably for the first 8 channels. I 
have to do some debugging during Christmas to fix the announcements on the 
higher channels.)

- read current automation state on panpot press on the controller
- read pre/post status of a send on panpot press when in send view on the 
controller
- say automation active / suspended when sitching this function
- read current controller mode when switching: pan view, pan right view, 
plug-in assign mode, input assign mode, output assign mode, Sends A, B, C, 
D, E
- say "default" when setting faders / pans to zero using the controller 
default button

- read all plug-in assignments of the selected channel in controller 
channel view
- read selected plug-in parameters and values in controller plug-in view 
(These are organized in pages by design. As the parameter names are limited 
to just a few characters on the HUI display, we use dictionaries to prepare 
them for the speech output. Currently we have a dictionary for the default 
Avid set of plug-ins and certain T-Racks plug-ins.)
- read selected plug-in parameters as they are changed on the active page 
of the controller (i.e. the user turns a knob or switches a button)
- when the user holds the Ctrl key parameter values aren't read 
automatically, just one final value is read instead when Ctrl key is 
released
- read plug-in names when assingning plug-ins to a channel using the 
controller (since this can be done more comfortable using VoiceOver now, I 
might remove this function later)
- read plug-in bypass state when toggled using the controller

- read modifier key labels (ctrl, option, command, shift) because they are 
tricky to find on the controller sometimes (they are announced only when 
loop playback is active - this way you can quickly tell if loop is active 
as well)
- read the whole display screen of the controller with a key press
- read current session timecode when "clear peak indicators" button is 
pressed on the controller

- when switching between edit and mix window, announce "edit window opened" 
or "mix window opened" (these announcements are needed because VoiceOver 
insn't running)
- the following windows are announced as well when opened: Memory 
locations, Transport, Plug-in (not AudioSuite)
- say pre roll / post roll on/off when switched
- say "return to zero" and "end" when using these transport functions 
(Important for all key-related functions: since we translate the Pro Tools 
output, the user gets these messages only if the function has been 
successfully performed by Pro Tools, not just on every key press!)
- announce active / inactive automation enable states when toggled using 
the controller: fader, mute, plug-in, pan, send, send mute
- say loop on/off when toggled
- say session saved when save button pressed
- say "cut", "separate", "paste", when editing from the controller

If there are any functions which might be helpful even without having a 
hardware controller, let me know. I'll have a look at the code during 
Chritmas time and see if I can make a simpler script including just the 
functions you need.

Kind regards,


Jakub

Re: Pt first

[TheOreoMonster]

As someone who uses Acidified and rex loops a lot i eventually ditched pro 
tools and hacked away at reaper till i got it to a efficient working state. the 
problem with Pro Tools at the time a few years ago V9/10 time frame this is 
btw, was that the only way to get loops to come into a project and be synced to 
project tempo weren’t very accessible. The normal way of importing audio didn’t 
allow for recognizing tempo/key info  and using the workspace window was 
inaccessible and importing from the clips list was incredibly time consuming 
and hit or miss.  Now you could import a loop using the normal import audio 
dialog and then select it and turn on some elastic audio properties on the 
track to get it to behave like a loop but also time consuming.  That being said 
the Workspace window in Pro Tools looks accessible in V12 now, but i haven’t 
had a chance to play with it as of yet. I say all that to say see if there is a 
workspace window of some sort in Pro Tools first and see if you can bring loops 
into the project that way.

Re: what would you pay for a comprehensive Pro Tools tutorial?

[Scott Chesworth]

Hey Slau,

Given who's producing it, if this were thorough I'd say $50 would give
me a warm fuzzy feeling, it'd need to contain some stuff that I didn't
already know and would be thought of as part supporting the cause part
investment at about $100, and by $150 it'd probably have to wait until
I had a good run of gigs or Santa was coming to town. Hour-long
segments feel pretty long to me unless they're broken up with frequent
demos so that there's something to wake me up (no reflection on your
public speaking, I promise). Half that length is more my focus
threshold for a specific topic.

One question: since you're a believer in the combination of Pro Tools
and a control surface, and you also have a very comprehensive control
surface, wouldn't rethinking your workflows and producing this to
appeal to the majority be a massive undertaking? By majority, I'm
assuming that most sales would be to people who are just getting
started with PT, thus I'm guessing that the majority of them, if they
had a surface at all, would likely be bringing that over from another
DAW, and seeing as none of the other protocols seem to go quite as
deep as Avids native stuff, they wouldn't be as deeply integrated as
what you're running there.

Re getting paid to cover your time... crowd funding seems the most
obvious solution. When it's paid for, it gets made. Until then, we
continue to harass you via PTAccess I guess lol.

Re: what would you pay for a comprehensive Pro Tools tutorial?

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Scott,

That made me laugh :) Harassment is perhaps an effective tactic, eh? Funny, I 
never considered the crowd funding idea. Hmm… I'll have to think about that. It 
certainly does accommodate those varying levels of patronage, you know: x 
dollars gets you the basic, x dollars gets you some extra content, x dollars 
gets you a certain amount of one-on-one support. Intriguing.

Anyway, I'd naturally have to cover things from the perspective of a beginner 
as well as the intermediate. There would have to be certain minimum 
requirements like an extended keyboard, an interface. The control surface, 
while not an absolute requirement is, of course, highly recommended but I'd 
have to cover things from a couple of perspectives.

Food for thought…

Cheers,

Slau

Re: Current situation with VoiceOver (PT 9/10/11/12)

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Jakub,

There are certainly a bunch of helpful aspects to this idea. The integration 
with VoiceOver is perhaps a bit of an issue, though. Also, the limitation of 8 
tracks is considerable. However, I think that it's great that you're doing 
this. Thanks for the explanation of things as they are for now. Keep us posted 
on how things go.

Cheers,

Slau

Re: what would you pay for a comprehensive Pro Tools tutorial?

[Carlos Taylor]

ProTools with speech already exists and seems good for the beginner.

Re: Unable to shut down or restart Mac after installing HD Driver on El Capitan.?

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Chuck,

I attempted to chased this El Capitan issue down for over a month with
Apple tech support with no good results.

Once I downloaded the latest Pro Tools 12.3.1 and installed the HD
drivers from the 12.3.1 bundle, VOILA!  All's well.  Now my Mac Pro
reboots and shuts down once again.  You might also make sure if you
are using the EuCon protocol, that the 3.3.1 version is installed and
update your control surfaces firmware to the latest immage.

Take Care,

Sean
