A Brave New World With Avid's Pro Tools for Us!

2016-03-29 Thread Sean A. Cummins
OK gang, this Pro Tools list has been too quiet for a little while.
So time to stir up some old conversations.  As accessibility continues
to become more and more a comprehensive reality thanks to Slau and
others, things may have changed for the better and maybe in the drum
sample player world as well.

Putting our heads together, what do we know for sure regarding working
with drums sample players?  In the past, I lay down a skeletal outline
of drums by loading a drum sample player, load my most appropriate
kits for the genre, and insert MIDI loop such as Groove Monkey MIDI
data only.  From there, I would add or subtract events as needed.
This gives the artist the best foundation to work on their program
material files before hiring the session players to record the final
session tracks.

So, here are the questions for the group.

1.  Are any of you successfully doing what I have described above at all?
2.  What is the most accessible drum sample player Boom, Strike, Tune
Track etc., at least in loading sets of drums samples from third party
such as Steven Slate’s?
3.  What kind of success has anyone had with inserting, editing, or
just plain adding or subtracting events and quantizing data?


Let’s try to get some real experienced people chiming in on this
subject and not theories or loose opinions.  I for one really listen
and respect the time and input from folks that have mastered any given
tasks.  And there’s a lot to say for “long to listen, and slow to
speak.”

I have, in the past, posted a way of creating a drum matrix that
works, but it is slow and very tedious hand building from bottom up!

Let the information begin!  Grin!

Hi
In my experience the latest app manager is slightly broken again in terms of 
accessibility, maybe just me but i can't access the sign in page. 
As for navigating it, make sure quick nav is off, then it navigates like any 
other app.

Re: DO i have a free update to Protools 12 or not?

2016-03-29 Thread Nickus de Vos
Hi
You don't say what version you are currently on, but best will be to go to 
www.avid.com log in to your master account, go to my products and see what 
versions you can download. It will also tell you whether you are currently on a 
upgrade plan. 
If not on a upgrade plan, it will cost you $299 to get back on, which will 
allow you to upgrade to the latest version of 12.

avid application manager question

2016-03-29 Thread Brian Howerton
Hello folks,
I have been trying to play around with the avid application manger because I 
have seen the notification that there is an update, but I am a little confused 
as to how to navigate it.  Does anyone have any tips as far as navigating the 
new application manger with voiceover?  Could someone just explain how to get 
around in it for me?  I’ve been playing with it, but just am not getting 
anywhere I guess.  Thanks,
Brian
