Re: Beginners guide?

[Preston Davis III]

 

I myself would be completely inadequate in writing such a guide at this 
point, calling me a beginner would be kind! I, however loftily,  am trying 
to diligently compile as much information as I can in the hopes that such a 
thing could be possible by me if no one else. Although with the 
protoolswithspeech.com site being out there (this slipped completely under 
my radar). It makes me wonder if the demand for such a thing even exists, 
although what I had in mind was free, so that could offset any lag in 
demand from a market segment. I personally have always found it easier to 
learn and retain from the written word, but maybe that's just me.

The tutorials available at:

 

www.protoolswithspeech.com

 

Are very good.  They have also produced some YouTube videos that tell you
how to optimise Pro Tools E.G. kill off certain keystrokes on the Mac that
conflict with PT keystrokes etc.

Hello everyone,

 

Just a quick question from the perspective of a curious person gathering
information. With the wealth of information from various sources, and the
fact that this information is quite spread out, and looking for all the
right answers to questions you have, and questions you should have can be a
bit intimidating on a good day, and downright frustrating on others, has
anyone considered compiling their knowledge in a sort of FAQ how to get
started with pro tools kind of thing? I just think a resource like this
would be very useful to help the very steep learning curve that comes with
trying to get in to the world of professional audio especially as a visually
impaired practitioner. If this type of thing already exists please point me
in that direction because I have completely overlooked it.

For those of you who have been users for years now, it may have just become
second nature; but there is a new generation who is just now making their
way into this minefield. 

 

Just a thought :)

Re: Beginners guide?

[Chris Smart]

By all means, create such a beginner tutorial and offer it, sell it, etc.

The only other things I know of are:
1. www.protoolswithspeech.com and
2. learn VoiceOver, the Mac OS screenreader, then read the ProTools manual.

Re: Air FX Bundle Not Showing Up in PT after Installation

[TheOreoMonster]

ProTOols Experts site has a free plug in database. However not sure if it 
specifies which ones can be used as AudioSuite plug ins. I’d say just drop all 
the audio on their own tracks and use inserts

Re: Choice of os

[TheOreoMonster]

That video slow refresh issue should be fixed in Sierra for what its worth.  
The cursor tracking only seemed to happen in certain windows so it snot all 
over the OS at least not here.

Re: Choice of os

['Joy Bausch' via Pro Tools Accessibility]

Hi Martin,
i literally just updated from Yosemite to El Cap, and the difference is more 
than just noticeable. My 2012 MacBookPro feels like a new machine, El Cap seems 
to be very responsive. 
I can't tell you anything about Sierra, from what Ive been reading though it's 
not too reliable yet. However, a new update for it came out yesterday, they're 
at 10.12.3, now I think, and maybe the new version improved things.

hth, 

Joy

Re: Choice of os

[Sean A. Cummins]

Martin,

Remember, Air has not yet released the fix for the Mini Grand piano
with Sierra.  There is also an issue with Apple’s cursor tracking in
Sierra and is particularly frustrating in Pro Tools 12 that is yet to
be resolved.  Sierra is not a shipwreck of an OS; just a few bugs that
might frustrate your use in the OS with Pro Tools.

Also, I don’t know your video card, but there were problems with El
Capitan and greatly slowed video refresh rates in Pro Tools.

My suggestion would be for you to keep checking with Avid’s
compatibility list until moving forward with Pro Tools 12 and Sierra.
Old adage, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…

Sean A.
