Re: peak finder

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Nick,

There isn't any quick way to do this. There's a numeric display in the Gain 
Audio Suite plug-in that still isn't visible. It's been logged as a bug but 
hasn't been fixed yet. Running the analysis does yield the result but it's not 
visible to VoiceOver at this time. If you need to determine the highest peak 
achieved, shuttle through the track and take a look at the result in the peak 
meter. If you're in Transport mode on the num pad, use Control-9 to engage 
playback at 8x speed. a 4-minute clip will take 30 seconds to play through. 
Apart from that, I guess you'll have to take a guess, based on the shuttle 
through, what the loudest part of the material is and go back to verify. reset 
the peak meter and play through the section at normal speed and see if you 
attain that peak again.

bTW, even if the analysis result were accessible, I don't think it reports the 
exact location of the peak. I suppose there's probably some other plug-in that 
might perform that task but I've never heard of one that does what you're 
looking to do.

Re: peak finder

Hi Nick,

One other thing you can do is use the Strip Silence feature to find peaks. 
Select your audio, hit Command-u to bring up the strip Silence dialog and then 
set your threshold to a relatively high number and strip away or separate the 
clips. This way, you can define, say, minus 2 dB as your peak and anywhere the 
material goes over minus 2 dB, the region will be separated or the rest of the 
audio stripped and only the peaks above minus 2 db remain. Remember to undo the 
action and there you have your peaks. Double-check with the peak meter to get 
the final number.

HTH,
Slau

Re: Programming Drums

[Vaughn Brown]

Welcome, Nathan,

I would record the drum loops in a live recording, meaning use the
loops as long as the song is. If you are worried about not getting
your sixteenth notes in in a timely manner, slow the tempo down, then
speed it back up once you are done quantizing it. Also, these notes
from a friend may help.
To select start of a bar, go to edit window and press numbed slash
then the bar number, then enter, all on numbed
to select the end bar, press slash twice then bar number, enter
to select set number of bars from current location, press slash three
times then number of bars then enter, all on numbed

examples:
select bar 1 through 5:
a. press slash 1 slash 5
b. (if changing start and end points separately) press slash 1, then
enter. slash slash 5, then enter.
c. Press slash 3 times, then 4 (for 4 bars total to be selected) then
press enter.

Copy and paste works the same way as you would expect, just make sure
the tracks you want to be copied are selected in the track list table.

Hope this helps.
Vaughn

Re: Reverb Plug-ins - AAX Native Or DSP? That Is The Question — Pro Tools Expert

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Sean,

Congrats on the move to HDX. I did see that article when PTE tweeted it out a 
little while ago. while I do agree that eventually things will move to all 
native processing, I believe HD will still be around for some years to come. 
The zero latency and tracking through plug-ins is a big plus, not to mention 
additional automation features. As it concerns DSP reverbs, with the Pro Tools 
12 subscription, Avid offers some great DSP plug-ins. I was really happy to see 
that they included Reverb One which was their flagship reverb when I first 
started using HD. Like many of the treasured digital verbs of the past, it 
still stands up. ReVibe is also fantastic. As an HD user, I've always 
gravitated toward DSP plug-ins because that was always the point of TDM 
processing. When I migrated over to PT 11 full time, I shied away from AAX 
native reverbs out of sheer habit. Having used Altiverb, I started realizing 
that there was a whole lot of choices on the AAX native frontier. I had already 
invested in a Mac Mini and started to regret the purchase because I thought I'd 
run low on native processing power. My worst fears seemed to be confirmed when 
I instantiated two copies of Izotope RX which is, of course, native, on a 
stereo track and maxed out the CPU. Wow, I really thought I was going to be in 
trouble down the line. I eventually started running some tests and realized 
that things would be fine. Turns out there's a particular quirk with Izotope 
that makes it an exception in the resource hog department. I think it's better 
with RX5. With some tests I've done recently, especially with the DSP covered 
on HDX, I can run 48 tracks with multiple plug-ins, all native, and barely hit 
10% CPU usage. With DSP, it's like 1%.

Anyway, with HDX, the DSP reverb offerings are great and the great part is that 
you can supplement liberally with AAX native reverbs if necessary and you'll be 
so far ahead of the CPU usage that you'll never have to worry.

Cheers,

Slau

Re: Programming Drums

Hi Vaughn,

Thanks for that info, is very helpful.
So there isn't really a way to go through beet by beet?
Perhaps logic would be better suited to this type of stuff maybe?

Reverb Plug-ins - AAX Native Or DSP? That Is The Question — Pro Tools Expert

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau.

Firstly, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New year to you and yours!, and
to all on the Pro Tools list!

I'm sure you have seen this article, but for your convenience , here's
the link below.  I'm about to drop the big 10K plus on an HDX, and I
will also be
upgrading my Waves to AAX format.  The author of the artical and some
plus-ins seems to think that VST native is the long run for the
future, and that HDX is not necessarily the way to go.  I hear what he
saying, but I'm not convinced myself.  Just thought I'd get your take
on his thoughts.

Re: peak finder

The Strip Silence trick works great! i found something like that among the 
pt expert tutorials as well. I also found there's an open request on the 
Avid web site for a specific feature, something like tab to peak, logic 
already got this function and if i'm not wrong, digi Audio included it a 
lot of years ago till it disappeared along the pt versions... it would be 
useful i guess not for a blind user only anyway, Strip To Silence do 
the job for now, thanks again!

Also what is the easiest way to jump through the grid and be accurately
