Re: on the subject of Sonoma compatibility

[Brian Casey]

Well said Slau, a lot of it is about planning an overlap in machines which is 
easier for some than others. I’m still forging ahead on a tricked out 2011 Imac 
while the mac studio I bought over a year ago sits impatiently in the rack 
beneath it!

Hi David, I can’t comment on komplete but just got protools going on a mew mac

OS Ventura info/advice

[Brian Casey]

Hi all, I hope you’re all off to a good start in 2023. 

I’ve recently taken delivery of a new mac studio with a view to gradually 
upgrading my main studio computer from my old trusty 2011 iMac. 

I’ve just installed a bunch of plugins and the latest protools, and its just 
dawned on me the latest FloTools is 2022.4 or some such. I’m guessing this 
won’t work on Ventura just yet? 

I’m guessing I just hold tight for now but I’d welcome any info or vague 
estimates of when things may catch up with Ventura 

Thanks, 
Brian.

Re: ot: aphex plugins

[Brian Casey]

Hving only used the Waves version of the afex exciter, I think the air enhancer 
that comes free with protools does a similar trick. It can be cool on acoustic 
piano for a specific 70’s sounding thing or on a dull acoustic guitar.

Re: Flo Tools Team in need of a little feedback for upcoming release

[Brian Casey]

Hey Slau, I also took a second to get clear on your initial message. Not using 
the list feature here either, honestly Flotools is so feature rich I feel like 
I forget/under use so many functions, and of course its still life changing! 

It would be nice to have the feature live on in some guise but perhaps it 
doesn’t need to be so immediately available on a shortcut.

Re: Properly using drum samples in ProTools

[Brian Casey]

Hey Josh,

I don't typically use sample replacement on live kits with multiple
velocities etc, so this may not suit what you want to do, but when I
do need a sample on a snare or something, I'll import my sample into
the session to a track adjacent to my snare, copy it to the clip
board, and then with tab to transient on I move through the session,
finding all the main snare hits on the snare track. Its a bit annoying
as you have to deselect the snare track every time you paste the
sample in place on its own track but it gets the job done for me.

if anyone out there has a better solution or a way to speed this
workflow up then let me know.

hope that helps,
Brian.

Tips creating keyboard maestro macros - following on from my drum sampler question

[Brian Casey]

Hi all,

Last week I began searching for a solid drum sampler plugin for protools, and 
having now found what appears to be a good candidate, I hope to create a set of 
macros to access the buttons for loading samples and routing outputs.

The plugin I found is called Sitala, which is free to download, and it already 
has a lot of its useful functionality showing in the plugin window for its 16 
sample pads, so I’m hoping to create a solid set of macros which may also be of 
use to others. 

I’ve started reading through the keyboard documentation but its all quite new 
to me, so pointers or good habits for reliable voice over macros would be 
hugely appreciated. 

Many thanks,
Brian

Hi Michael, thanks for the suggestion at a glance I’m not sure that is quite 
what I’m after, unless I’m wrong it doesn’t look like it’d be easy to trigger

Loading samples into a sample player

[Brian Casey]

Hi all,  

Does anyone here have a good workflow for loading their own samples into a 
multi output sample playback plugin in Protools. 

Basically I’m increasingly working on pop productions and am building drum 
tracks either with combinations of the boom plugin and importing samples and 
arranging them with copy and paste. 

Its not a smooth or inspiring workflow when the artist is in the room and 
paying for the time involved!

Back in my sonar days I used session drummer where I could load samples into 10 
pads which I could trigger from my midi keyboard and most importantly I could 
route each sample out to its own dedicated audio track for processing etc.

Does anyone have such a workflow going? 

I haven’t gotten into using voice over OCR but it seems it could be a tool that 
could help me find my way to a load button in a sampler plugin, which would be 
a good start.

Thanks in advance for any input, help will be hugely appreciated.

Brian.

OS Sierra question

[Brian Casey]

Quick question, are there any major down sides to life on Sierra with PT voice 
over etc?

I want to move forward from Yosemite finally but recall there was some bug in 
one OS version where voice over jumps back to the top of say the mix qindow 
aafter closing plugin qindows.

FYI I am reluctant to move beyond Sierra as my console does not have more up to 
date drivers just yet.

Loading samples into a drum sampler

[Brian Casey]

Hi all, 

Apologies if this has been asked already, but is there any good option for a 
plugin where its easy to load in custom samples to be played from a midi 
keyboard. I was able to do ghis in sonar back in the day with session drummer, 
but I’ve just been relying on a combination of  boom, some analog synths and 
manually importing/arranging samples when producing pop artists, but its a bit 
slow and not cery inspiring as workflows go.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fingers crossed Nate, its disappointing as there’s so much other aspects of the

Hi all, apologies for the off topic posting but I’m wondering if anyone has 
direct contacts in UA they could share privately. 

Given they have major software releases happening it seems like a wise time to 
remind them about voiceover compatibility etc.

Many thanks,

Hi Chris, here’s a cover of a Pretenders Christmas tune I recorded with a

and I got my arm twisted into duetting on it!

Re: Instantiating pluggins but ...

Hi Dammie,


In the audio suite window there is a button whichsays “process selected 
playlist” or something like that. If you accidentally clicked that button then 
it wonMt render the selected audio.

Re: I hear something in my head, but how do I actually produce this effect?

[Brian Casey]

Hey there, just paste the lyrics you want affected on to a new track and apply 
the reverb you want there. A slow moving phaser or flanger after the reverb 
incert could also add to the soaring feeling.

Re: microphone upgrade recommendations?

Re: microphone upgrade recommendations?

[Brian Casey]

Hi Cameron, if you like the u87 then there’s a great Canadian company advanced 
audio who make a u87 style microphone for around 500 US. I haven’t used but 
have their more expensive c12 and its excellent as is their customer service. 
Sarm audio also makes a u87 clone which has more mixed reviews. 


Roswell audio are getting a lot of good reviews for their mini k47 microphone 
which is about 300 US I believe and from samples I’ve heard its a good all 
rounder.

Re: Recommendations for Accessible Mastering Plugin

[Brian Casey]

I’m a big fan of the massy l2007 limiter, the installer isn’t accessible but 
the plugin plays great with  voice over.

Oek sound plugins

[Brian Casey]

Hi all, 

I downloaded a triall of soothe by oeksound today, changing values on sliders 
in the plugin seemed to be impossible though the bypass oversampling and other 
toggle type controls work fine. 

I sent a quick email outlining the issues along with a link to the apple 
accessibility info for developers.  

I just want to check if anyone here has made contact with them before so I can 
keep that in mind as I follow up. 

For anyone wondering, soothe is an almost too good to be true type plugin aimed 
at automatically taming resonant peaks in vocals and such, aka a fancy de-esser.

Brian.

Looking for simple drum plugin to load samples into

[Brian Casey]

Hopefully the subject says it all. 

Is there any drum machine type plugin that has something scripted so we can 
load in our own samples, session drummer was a nice option in the sonar days. 

I'm currently making and arranging samples on audio tracks but midi arranging 
could be much more convenient. 

Thanks for any pointers,
Brian.

Re: Analog compressor

[Brian Casey]

I'm not sure what you would consider to be blind friendly but I have the ART 
pro vla ii stereo compressor in my rack and use it almost every  mix and 
tracking session. Its very usable for a relatively cheap unit.

Re: Audient Id14

[Brian Casey]

Hi Ronald, 

I have an ID14 for mobile work when I'm away from the studio. 

Its a fantastic sounding unit, however none of its software routing functions 
will be accessible to you. 

If you plan on monitoring levels through protools though it may serve your 
needs just fine.

Re: new features and shortcuts in the new Pro Tools 2018.1

Thanks Slau, track presets are very overdue as an official feature. 

Looks like its good timing for me to finally get down to moving up from 
Yosemite on the studio machine. 

Any pointers on what OS version to jump to?

Re: Is the Slate Digetal accessible?

[Brian Casey]

I've only used the buss compressers and fgx limiter and the parameters move in 
almost unusable increments with voice over, if other slate plugs are the same I 
wouldn't personally go near the bundle. I think UA is probably a better deal 
for you given you have the hardware.

For UA oppolo users: potentially huge increase in accessiblity with soft tube controler

[Brian Casey]

Hi all, 

Not a UA interface user myself but thought  I should post this given recent 
discussions on interfaces. 

At first glance it seems a 500 buvk inbestment in soft tube's controler could 
open up physical control of many funvtions of the oppolo which are not yet 
accessible with boice over. 

https://www.softube.com/index.php?id=apollocentral

Please note I have no hands experience with these products, though O am a fan 
of the 2 soft tube plugins I own. 

Brian.

I have been tied up with projects for others as tends to happen, but have 
released a couple new tracks, and thanks for asking btw!

If spotify is your thing here's some of my stuff:

Re: APOGEE Thunderbolt & monitor decoupling

[Brian Casey]

I haven't read about OSC since my masters a few years back but again RME have 
been early adopters of that protocol. 

Haha, the way I keep referencing RME you would never think I sold my fireface

Re: APOGEE Thunderbolt & monitor decoupling

[Brian Casey]

Extremely well put, I am coming from the perspective of using an analog 
oriented workflow on the tracking side, I supose my underlying point is we 
should carefully examine our actual needs and what we can and can't live 
without.

The UA stuff is great and tracking through unison would be wesome to have 
access to, but they are great products without touching that I'd imagine. 
Presumably you could save a preset work space to always track through a neve 
front end or something, which would extract some of the extra value/fun of 
unison. 

Audient interfaces are another fine USB option but again no accessibility on 
their mixer software, so to me RME is the most accessible I've found once you 
have a control surface and some patience. 

This is an important discussion to have I think because blind and visually 
impaired users are almost more restricted with interface options in the medium 
term than with software. 

As someone running a studio as a business myself I tend to feel I am best 
served by letting as little of the work as possible to the software/interface 
systems, but that isn't the entirely the way to go because of modern workflows 
and creativity. 

Sorry for the meandering message! 

I better get mixing!

Brian.

Sorry to hear about your hardships Nate, very glad you have turned a corner. 

You've always been a good voice to have on here and midi mag when I was on it, 
and you are right, there's a hand full of people on this list that are making a 
huge difference to the working/creative lives of the rest of us. 

Well said Nate and glad you're getting back in the game somewhat, it seems an 
exciting time in PT access world.

Re: APOGEE Thunderbolt & monitor decoupling

[Brian Casey]

Hi Nate, 

As a quick note, firewire and usb aren't as restrictive as thunderbolt 
marketing hype might suggest, for example the Allem and Heath interface card in 
my console does 32 in and 32 out over firewire 400 with no problem, RME and 
antilope also get huge results with usb based interfaces. 

I had an RME fireface UFX in the past, while its own mixer and routing software 
wasn't accessible with a screenreader I was able to create monitor mixes, route 
audio and use many of its monitor control type functionality as it could be 
controled with a control surface using HUI protocol. At the time I controled it 
with a BCF 2000 and it was actually a great system and I was omly missing out 
on access to a small portion of its functions. 

Unfortunately the trend in interfaces is towards proprietary  on board features 
that are as inaccessible as they ar awesome.

Re: A few questions

[Brian Casey]

Hi Ignasi,

Firstly your english and questions are perfectly phrased so thank you.

I think protools will be perfect for you and all the workflow you describe will 
be both accessible and more simple than how you do things currently. 

I edit piano and acoustic instruments every day and protools is perfectly 
capable of doing everything I need it to do, and though I am a professional 
audio engineer, I would compare my protools skills as intermediate level in 
comparisan to others on this list. 

Hpwever protools is only accessible on the apple mac, and yes the latest 
version is best.

If you have or can borrow a mac computer you can always subscribe to protools 
for just a month for relatively little money and see how you like it.

Hope this helps,
Brian

Re: Vocal Tuning with Protools

[Brian Casey]

For what its worth, I use autotune EFX with I think is the cheapest form of the 
range, and I have found with experimentation I get extremely transparent 
results. 

Like Slau said I often do more manual tuning on individual notes etc, and again 
the audio suite version of autotune EFX is geat for this. 

All of these algorithms have quirks and artifacts and combining tools and going 
for a more manual approach is always best in my opinion. 

I know that doesn't address the question posed but hope that helps.a

Re: FloTools issues on sierra 10.12.3 with PT 12.8

[Brian Casey]

Haha nuke and pave!

I'm still adjusting to mac life slowly outside PT so will rap my head around 
the OS nuking and paving when there's more down time I reckon. 

Yes the Yosemite bug is a real thorn in my side, especially as I work quite 
happily without the new Sierra commands mentioned. 

Happy to split life between the 2 systems for now anyway.

Re: FloTools issues on sierra 10.12.3 with PT 12.8

[Brian Casey]

I've been dividing my time between machines with and without FloTools for over 
6 months and have found it easy, largely because of how FloTools feels like a 
natural augmentation rather than a redefining of PT for me, though I'm sure 
that will vary from person to person.
I'm finding a really useful logic to the FloTools key commands.

It is way down the list of things that cost me time and money when swapping 
studios unfortunately

Suggestions for a quick method of writing out notation

[Brian Casey]

Hi guys, a bit OT but hope you can help. 

I need to sxore a small string trio part for a session, I was thinking of 
simply playing it in midi quantized and export the midi to a program that can 
convert to notation. 

Does amyone have a good idiot proof solution for this other than getting knee 
deep in sebelious or something. 

Thanks,
Brian.

Re: problem writing automation

Well you click on the automation selector on the track in question and you can 
change to read write latch off etc. if its on latch it should be working.

Sorry I'm not a power user of pt so to speak so can't be more help!

your automation selecter set to a mode that will read the data after you've

Izotope rx plugin pack usability

[Brian Casey]

Hi all, 

These plugins are on sale for 49 bucks at present. 
 
For those who have tested them how much can be achieved working with the aax 
plugin window? I'm particularly interested in the de click for pesky mouth 
noises. 

Apolofor the lazyness but I'm too swamped to demo and if they are useful I 
don't want to miss the deal, 

Many thanks,,,
Brian.

Re: computer recommendations for protools

[Brian Casey]

I believe Jed said the main use would be editing for radio etc, in which case I 
would think 8 gig of ram and a modest machine should do just fine. 

I have a quad core imac with 32 gig of ram and a macvook with 8 gig of ram and 
a dual core processor for mobile work and the macbook can really keep up even 
mixing/editing 30/40 track projects with relatively large amounts of plugin 
processing happening...and my machines are 2011 and 2013 models I bought used. 

So in my opinion the most basic of new macbooks etc is well up to any low track 
count editing or processing.

Re: SoundToys plug-ins

[Brian Casey]

I think its worth noting that for any users without a control surface some 
parameters will take an age to change,, the low and high cut values in certain 
plugs for example. Still plenty usible though just not as friendly as the stock 
aax plugs when it comes to adjusting some parameters with the keyboard. 

Hth, 

P.s. Nick or Slau, I'd love any presets you may have saved out...particularly

Valhalla room presets and Massey plugs, perhaps revisited

[Brian Casey]

Has anyone had luck using the massey plugs and l2007 in particular in pt aax? 
Thought I had a thread saved where they were mentioned but can't find it, so 
apologies if I'm rehashing an old subject. 

I've downloaded the massey plugin manager but VO ain't reading much. 

I've been exclusively working only with stock plugs and outbboard since 
switching to pt last April but am going to start bringing in some specific 
outside help!

Also if anyone here has valhalla room presets to share I'd appreciate a link, 
it will save me clogging the list with another post. 

I hhaven't had sight to save the custom Valhalla xml presets into aax presets 
yet. If nobody has them I'll post them when I eventually get time with 
someone!Sent from my smart-ish phone!

Cloud storage, gobler etc

Apologies if this has been covered but I'm looking for a cloud backup solution 
that is voiceover friendly for the 2 or so terabytes of client files I've built

more safety etc. 

Is anybody using/liking gobler? Is icloud a viable option?

Sharing a trick I came across for creating track templates

[Brian Casey]

Hi all, sorry if this is old news for some but being able to create track 
templates was one thing I missed moving over to pt and this seems a nice 
option. 

http://youtu.be/XfznII3Gnds

Its not an official function as far as I know but for me personally will be 
invaluable working with clients that want to add overdubs to a bunch of 
different sessions with out me having time to prepare in advance.

Re: Changing parameters in AAX plug-ins in PT 12

[Brian Casey]

I gathered that you could have someone setup any number of presets for 
different configs of whatever modules you have. The slate stuff isn't so cpu 
intensive anyway so I'd imagine multiple instances of vmr would be another good 
work around

Thanks for that, they are thhe exact steps I'm taking but no luck. Selecting

Re: Slate digital question

I should have been more clear, I was asking about accessing the mix rack with 
Voice over rather than the merrits of vcc itself. It sounds like mix rack may 
not be accessible and that is the only way to use vcc 2.0 and newer slate 
offerings it seems.

Re: update on Click II presets

[Brian Casey]

 
Appreciate the sharing here Slau, believe it or not 2 weeks into running 
sessions in PT I've not needed to dive into the click stuff yet but had a 
chance to explore the count in and click plug-in interface today, so nice 
timing. I'm big into customising click tracks too so this is a great help.

Re: Changing parameters in AAX plug-ins in PT 12

[Brian Casey]

Quick nav did catch me a few weeks ago but vo is set to normal, I can jump to 
markers as normal. 

I'm getting by with creating region breaks and selecting that way for the 
moment, searching in preview in the shortcut guide isn't giving me any results 
relating to selecting to the next or previous memory location, only shortcuts 
relating to creating and moving to memory locations, I'm still assuming its 
something I'm doing wrong rather than something changing in pt 12. 

Thanks for the suggestions, 
Brian

Re: Changing parameters in AAX plug-ins in PT 12

[Brian Casey]

I've now found that the issue was check boxes in preferences not being read 
correctly by Voice over, wonder if this is normal? 

Can't figure why key strokes for selecting between markers aren't working when 
other selection key strokes like shift return etc are.

Re: an observation about the Mix window

[Brian Casey]

Yeah I'm mostly working from the num pad for transport, I have the wireless 
keyboard and separate wireless num pad so am thinking of getting into having 
the num pad on the left so I can free up my right hand for hitting talkback on

 It's odd that you would have seen the tracks list table after all of
 your tracks. I've never seen that behavior. To be clear, though, you
 are, in fact, seeing the tracks list table in the Mix window? Under
 the view menu, you can show or hide the tracks list table. I'm not at
 the studio so I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's under the Other
 Displays menu. If you're seeing any tracks in the Mix window, that
 would suggest that they're being shown and, unless you have something
 on the order of 24 tracks, pretty much all of them should be visible
 and displaying correctly. Make sure you don't have the "narrow mix
 window" displayed (under the view menu). I don't know what else to
 tell you on such short notice. Yeah, good thing you know your preamps
 and, as long as you're recording at 24 bits, you have loads of headroom.
 Even at your most conservative, you should be fine.

Re: Off topic question with regard to addressing the topic of my blindness in an artist bio/press release

[Brian Casey]

the phone call, Justin mentions in passing to the organizer 
that he happens to be blind and will partake in the competition with his guide 
dog beside him on stage. Undoubtedly, all entrants have to submit bios and I'm 
sure that Justin's bio doesn't glaze over the fact that he's blind. In fact, if 
you look at his web site, it's prominently featured in his bio. What led to his 
involvement with Clark Terry (the primary focus of this documentary), was the 
fact that he was a blind jazz student at William Patterson college where Clark 
Terry was a visiting instructor. CT, having had diabetes for some 60 years, was 
starting to lose his sight. The connection with Justin was inevitable. This led 
to Terry introducing Justin to Quincy Jones, Terry's first trumpet student. The 
rest is history for Justin, who is now touring and signed to a record deal 
because of Quincy. Justin is very talented and, if I'm not mistaken, a 
subscriber to this list and I say this with all due respect. As talented as he 
is, his blindness played a role in his career. It made him who he is. It drew 
him to the piano in the first place. It was instrumental, so to speak, in the 
situations that led to his current status. The rest, of course, is up to him. 
The point I'm trying to make is that, as matter of fact as it is to so many of 
us, it really is the 800-pound gorilla in the room as far as everybody else in 
the world is concerned and that, for a musician, is usually a good thing. There 
is the mystique and a stereotype of musicians having "golden ears." Whether or 
not you have golden ears, let people think you do. As long as you're not 
claiming it yourself, let others assume and it'll probably work to your 
advantage most of the time. The rest, again, is up to you.


There's a great saying about talent:
Talent won't necessarily get you a gig but it will help you keep the gigs you 
get.


I say, blindness won't help you keep the gigs you get but it might help you get 
the gig if for no other reason that it's memorable.


Best,


Slau

  Hi all, 

  Sorry for the very off topic nature of this post, but I feel there might be 
some very helpful opinions on this list. 

  If you have thoughts on this, you might e-mail me directly rather than me 
clogging the list with off topic traffic. 

  My e-ail is:

  briancaseymu...@gmail.com 

  So, generally, I have never made a reference to being blind in any press 
releases or musician bio's on websites etc as I strive to be noticed for my 
music alone. Similarly I chose not to make any reference tto being blind on 
official documentation or websites to do with my studio. 

  However, I've recently changed my opinion a bit on mentioning it in my 
musician bio/press release as I plan to release my next EP. 

  There are two reasons for this. 

  1. Recently I played an international guitar festival, and in the programme, 
they wrote a description for each artist, and after a cool description of me, 
right at the end was a real awkward looking sentence. Brian is also the first 
blind musician to play the festival. 

  Like it matters! Anyway, that was a bit cringe, so I've been thinking sense 
by mentioning my blindness in my own releases, I take control of the situation 
and set the agenda on how it is mentioned, or at least to an extent. So if I 
mention it fast, and get it out of the way I might be better off. Obviously if 
I got more and more well known then people are going to learn about me anyway. 

  2. 

  The second reason is obviously it's a some what unique selling point, so if I 
am going to mention it, again  I m ay as well mention it early in a bio/press 
release, catch the attention and move on to talking about what I want to talk 
about. 

  So that is my reasoning. 

  I'm struggling to find a great way of putting it that I like though! 

  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 

  Below is a draft I've tried to come up with that addresses it in the very 
first sentence, aiming to get it done and dusted before the first sentence is 
even finished. 

  Thanks all, 
  Brian.

I wish my hearing was extra good!

Thanks for the thoughts, I'm basically back to wanting to leave it out 
altogether again.


My ideal hope if I was to include it is to get it in the first sentence in a 
way that makes it clear that it shouldn't define everything else that comes 
after it, which may be impossible.

This is all subjective obviously, but for me the sweet spot for the
bombshell is usually 2nd or 3rd sentence in. I always feel like the
first sentence drop means blindness defining everything that follows,
whereas a couple of sentences in should be early enough to catch the
attention of anyone who's reading without overly heaping importance on
it. For what it's worth though, I'd say you're doing the right thing

Hi all,

Sorry for the very off topic nature of this post, but I feel there might 
be

some very helpful opinions on this list.

If you have thoughts on this, you might e-mail me directly rather than me
clogging the list with off topic traffic.

My e-ail is:

So, generally, I have never made a reference to being blind in any press
releases or musician bio's on websites etc as I strive to be noticed for 
my
music alone. Similarly I chose not to make any reference tto being blind 
on

official documentation or websites to do with my studio.

However, I've recently changed my opinion a bit on mentioning it in my
musician bio/press release as I plan to release my next EP.

There are two reasons for this.

1. Recently I played an international guitar festival, and in the 
programme,

they wrote a description for each artist, and after a cool description of
me, right at the end was a real awkward looking sentence. Brian is also 
the

first blind musician to play the festival.

Like it matters! Anyway, that was a bit cringe, so I've been thinking 
sense

by mentioning my blindness in my own releases, I take control of the
situation and set the agenda on how it is mentioned, or at least to an
extent. So if I mention it fast, and get it out of the way I might be 
better

off. Obviously if I got more and more well known then people are going to
learn about me anyway.

2.

The second reason is obviously it's a some what unique selling point, so 
if

I am going to mention it, again  I m ay as well mention it early in a
bio/press release, catch the attention and move on to talking about what 
I

want to talk about.

So that is my reasoning.

I'm struggling to find a great way of putting it that I like though!

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a draft I've tried to come up with that addresses it in the very
first sentence, aiming to get it done and dusted before the first 
sentence

is even finished.

Thanks all,
Brian.

At the age of 4, Brian Casey permanently lost his sight after a short but
life threatening illness, yet memories of his early life are dominated by
his desire to try and explore every musical instrument that crossed his
path, because it is music that defines this 25 year old far and above any 
of

lifes other influences.



His second EP Rain Songs, due for release this November is a 5 track
alternative folk journey through stories of hope and despair, thriving on 
an
eclectic pallet of influences ranging from the intensity and aggression 
of
rock/blues heroes of old to the nuance and openness of his favourite 
modern
day singer-songwriters. Moving from simple acoustic arrangements to 
larger

than life soundscapes with ease, the EP is a self-recorded exhibition of
Casey's songwriting, multi-instrumentalism and production skills in equal
measure,.



Raised on the south-west coast of Ireland, on the edge of Europe, a mish
mash of influences pulled Casey's attention from classical piano to
traditional Irish music, from his parents collection of classic records 
to

the alternative sounds of the 1990's, drip fed through the static of long
wave radio and his brothers cassette-tapes. With very few musicians of a
similar age around, makeshift attempts to record and overdub with home
stereos and Dictaphones came as a natural solution, setting him on a

You're very argumentative in your tone and it was you who said

Pro Tools 4 which was around 1997. Were you using Pro Tools before 
version 5?"

Having had transcribed the pdf keyboard shortcuts from back in the day 
when PDFs were still inaccessible, I never saw a shortcut like this. I 
subsequently checked and, indeed, the command does work in version 5 but 
appears to be undocumented, at least in the Keyboard Shortcuts Mac version 
pdf. I was curious if that command went back to version 4, which I used in 
school. BTW, you never did answer my question.

I wouldn't have characterized your comment as particularly nice or humble. 
I took it merely as a statement. That's all. Further, If you think "I

more about how you're understanding or misunderstanding my comment. I was 
referring to knowing how fast forward and rewind works in the current 
versions of Pro Tools.

Excuse me but if you knew how it worked you'd obviously know it existed

Slau writes:
Again, I was referring to knowing how rewind and fast forward work not 
whether there was a keyboard shortcut of which I was unaware. My awareness 
or non-awareness of a keyboard shortcut has no bearing on a function. 
Incidentally, Shift-comma and shift-period work exactly like 1 and 2 on 
the num pad as well as the dedicated rewind and fast forward buttons on a 
control surface so I'm not exactly sure what you were driving at.

 Well, I was interested in mixing and mastering.  For mixing, check out:
 1. Mike Senior - Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio
 That one really illustrates what it takes to get a mix up to commercial 
 standards.
 (and check out Mike's excelent website, including an enormous free 
 multitrack library of material to practice on!)
 www.cambridge-mt.com
 
 and
 2. Roey Izhaki - Mixing Audio - Concepts Practices and Tools
 http://www.mixingaudio.com/
 That one is extremely thorough, and every example in the book comes in 
 audio form on a data DVD.  If something confuses you in the first book or 
 you want to learn a lot about a specific thing, such as compressors, 
 reverb, etc., check it out in the second book.
 
 Generally, Focal Press puts out a lot of great material.
 
 For mastering, the bible is:
 Bob Katz - Mastering Audio; the Art and the Science.
 His site is at:
 http://www.digido.com
 
 Hopefully someone can recommend a good text on recording.

Please help with a competition I'm in

[Brian Casey]

Hey all, 

sorry to spam, but I'm in the final ten of a competition on one of Ireland's 
national radio stations to win an 8000 euro, roughy 9500 dollar prize. They 
were looking for Ireland's best cover version and I did a version of Nina 
Simone's Feelin Good. 

This is relevant to PT because if I somehow manage to get through to the final 
and get some cash out of it I'll use it to get into the PT world for my studio 
business, well and I hope to get a nord keyboard also. 

I'm well behind with votes though, but there is another week of voting and you 
can vote daily. 

If you feel like helping out I'd really appreciate it. 

Just go to the link below, the page seems to appear differently with most 
Screenreaders, so not sure how the vote link will appear with voice over, but 
if you get the right link it will take you off that page on to a new one. 

Heres the link: 

http://www.ouitolecrunchmusic.com/artist-5/#sthash.mz3hKBkg.pAa7e4WW.dpbs

Thanks so much to anyone who finds the time to vote, and if you think of it 
each day over the next week please rince and repeat! 

Brian.

Re: ilok license manager

[Brian Casey Music]

Hey Chris,

I understand your frustrations completely, but I'm a guy still in the first 
years of running a studio commercially, still relying on sonar, and its 
fairly dam frustrating over here for a myriad of reasons. Some days I wish I 
could afford to jump over to PT, despite the short comings, but I don't 
think the level of frustration will be greater  or lesser, just different.


Hang in there and find ways for your own abilities to keep the projects 
moving in the right direction despite the technologies drawbacks,

I only can say one thing, and maybe I am really really jumping the gun 
here, so if so, forgive me, but ok, now you're telling me in addition to 
ProTools not offerring much sollution to the accessibility problems that 
we've been discussing on list for god knows now how long, but now you're 
telling me that the ILok can't be managed online anymore except by a 
manager which isn't accessible?  OK, I'm sorry to say this, but I purchase 
a log of plugins to use both for myself and for my clients when they come 
to record, plus, I'm not able to use the full capassity of my hard drive 
to it's full potential as I have to dule boot between 10.6 and 10.8.  I 
want 10.8 primarily, but I'm not about! to put PT on an ML partition, I'm 
sorry, but it's just not gonna happenb.  Some of you may say, well, so I 
can't read the tempo, so I can't read the counter clusters, etc. I'll deal 
with it.  folks? I? can't! deal with it!  I have a job to run here, and 
part of that is getting clients the best sound I can get them.  I'm sorry, 
but I'm not making a client pay x amount of dollars while because of not 
being able to read the counters, I sit here manually by ear trying to 
nudge things just to the right place on the ruler.  Now, the ILok is doing 
what it's doing? Granted it's not Avid that is responsible for ILok, I'll 
grant you that fact, but this is ridiculous!  I swear I'm about ready to 
throw my PT out the window, go back to Sonar and say to hell with it.  I 
really, really, really! don't wanna do that, but if it's gonna mean 
accessibility degrading this much, I don't have time in my business to sit 
here waiting on things to be fixed.  there is a high enough demand for my 
services, that I need up to date technology, and if I can't even expect to 
see improvements being made with updates, then, I find it a bit stupid, 
quite frankly put, for me to keep over and over just waiting.  I think 
that Slau is a wonderful wonderful gentlemen, and I think we owe him more 
than words ever could comprehensibly express of gratitude for his 
unfailing commitment, as he's not let us down yet even once, but that 
being said, let's be very very realistic.  Slau has talked over and over 
and over again to Avid, and these other companies, and I do think some of 
the devs he's worked with, and c e o's he's talked to etc. seem to get it, 
but once put into perspective, it seems like the commitment he's providing 
is being squashed, and frankly, I don't think that is fair to us as blind 
individuals.  More importantly than us, I don't think it's at all fair to 
slau himself!


I dono.  I'll keep PT for now, but I'm telling you something now.  If I 
don't start seeing improvement over the next rest of this year, between 
say now and next January, I'm seriously going to reconsider my workflow. 
I have nothing against any of you who may strongly object to my opinion, 
but please understand where I am coming from as well, and really think 
long and hard about what I'm saying.  It's just not worth me continuing to 
invest money in a company who promises improvement yet then doesn't seem 
to follow through. I'll admit this thread's about ILok, not ProTools, but 
it all goes hand in hand.  If you're telling me ILok isn't manageable 
accessibly anymore, then basically what you're also telling me by not! 
telling me, is that any new PT customers who're blind unlessx they get an 
ILok that comes with PT with the license already on it, are going to be... 
pardon the language... F***ed! Mainly, because they won't have any way 
without sighted help to license the product.  I'm sorry, but that in 
itself to me is all the reason to be a deal breaker.


Just my two cents worth.  I didn't say you have to agree with me, but I'll 
say this, agree to disagree, as frankly, I've had a bad enough week as is, 
and the last thing I need right now, is to babysit immature flamers on/off 
the list.  Voice your opinion, but be polite about it.  If anything I've 
said's come across as rude, it's not my entention, but just realize my 
frustration.  I mean seriously people!  Can you honestly blame me?

I believe the 13 inch   are the ones that are limited to dual core
processors. gotta go with a 15 inch if you want quad core in a laptop.
Yeah cuz its an after market  mod you would have to siled out the
drive bay and put the cdrom drive back in if you had to take it in. T
That being said, I challenge you to name a PC maker who has a warranty
like apple care  despite the fact you will have to swap the original
part back in.

One thing swaying me back to buying a purpose built laptop for windows

If I remember correctly dropping in a new hard drive into a macbook is

Any of the current Gen mac book pros or mac book pros retina should be

When you Boot Camp, apple provides  you with all the windows drivers

external HD. As far as the second drive or external HD you want that 
one


to
be a 7200 rpm drive  or higher, not a solid state drive as those aren't
made
to handle  being constantly written to like they would be when 
recording.


It
can handle it fine but it will shorten the life of solid state drives
the
more you constatntly write to them as in a recording session. Solid
state
drives are fine for the main boot drives and  I highly recommend them
for
that.

The whole Retina model vs non retina model  thing is bugging me

There are some interesting refurbished models knocking about at the moment, 
none with 8 or 16 gigs of  ram  hat have the optical drive though.


But I think my questions about the apple audio chip are answered anyway, 
nobody seems to have issues with them under boot camp.

I believe the 13 inch   are the ones that are limited to dual core
processors. gotta go with a 15 inch if you want quad core in a laptop.
Yeah cuz its an after market  mod you would have to siled out the
drive bay and put the cdrom drive back in if you had to take it in. T
That being said, I challenge you to name a PC maker who has a warranty
like apple care  despite the fact you will have to swap the original
part back in.

Any of the current Gen mac book pros or mac book pros retina should be 
fine.
When you Boot Camp, apple provides  you with all the windows drivers for 
the
internal hardware of  that speciffic computer so everything will work 
well
under windows. If you get a current gen mac book  pro with 8 or 16gb  of

it will handle sonar and etc  fine. The advantage to a macbook pro over a
mac book retina is you can remove the cd rom drive and put in a second HD

Re: Thoughts on Preamps

[Brian Casey]

Hey Nate, to give a more clear answer. 

I'm not dismissing nice class A pre's, I have a unit of 8 audient pre's that 
are a class A design but extremely clean. In fact most of what I have are class 
A, but that's besides the point. 

A lot depends on your primary use I suppose. Some of my clean pre's are very 
transparent but also, you hear people talking about fast pre's versus less fast 
pre's. By this, often I think people feel that transients come through in more 
detail on some pre's than others. I would have to say that I agree with this 
point, some clean pre's really get those transients through in a kind of faster 
way, where as others, like the Neve stuff I find does not in the same way. 
however, this may well be one of the reasons that Neve type pre's have become 
more popular for tracking vocals into digital systems, they round things off 
and perhaps tame things down sometimes. Now, I worked in a studio with macki 
onnyx pre's for a while, and its hard to judge objectively with what I have in 
my own room now without comparing side by side, but I felt there was something 
sluggish in the sound of the macki's, they got the sound through alright, but 
things didn't jump out of the speakers through them in that kind of briliant 
detail. They didn't have a particularly pleasing character, they didn't have an 
offencive character, and they weren't terrible, but there you go. 

Personally I do feel that if I was going to have just one high end pre, I'd 
rather have one really clean detailed one, and then learn to colour it 
in...then when you want another pre, which is inevitable I suppose, you'll know 
what you want to look for in terms of colour. 

A designs do a real nice clean pre called the pacifica as far as I know, but 
then if you want to use something a little more nevish I think the likes of 
great river and at a lower budget golden age audio do flavours of 1073 type 
pre's. someone else would have to chime in there, I'm sure Slau would have 
encyclopedic knowledge on the subject! 

To back up my thoughts, I recently did work in the recording studio of our 
national radio broadcaster here in Ireland, and we were tracking some stuff 
through some neve modules they had racked from an old console. It was kind of 
cool and old school to my ears for sure, but really, it wasn't a sound I'd want 
on everything I do, but sure, I'd love to have it as an option. I guess the 
units they have would be neve 1081's or something like that, I'm always 
confused about the generations of neve stuff. It was hard for me to judge noise 
floor and stuff like that on them as it was a real quick paced session, but I 
was surprised by the real difference I heard between what I'd been used to 
tracking through in my studio and these neve units. The tech sheets of some of 
these pre's only have minor minor differences of noise and harmonic distortion, 
I mean relatively small differences that you wouldn't think our ears would pick 
up, but I guess they're measured with simple tones, when you blast complex 
harmonic content at these things I guess our ears do hear and feel the 
difference more than a quick comparisan of tech sheets might first suggest. 

Now if I remember correctly your dealing with hip hop a lot of the time, and 
something neve like or coloured will probably work very well on the majority of 
rap vocals and stuff, and it will round things off a bit. 

I tracked a rap vocal last week in my studio through what is probably my least 
coloured signal path, using an audio technica 4050, which I would class as 
being a quite neutral and clean sounding mike, all b it with a slightly forward 
mid range, but mixing it afterwards, I think it may have been good to work with 
a more coloured front end going in. That said, a dynamic mike might have gotten 
me exactly where I wanted to go in this case. 

But I guess I work with a lot of acoustic drums, piano, acoustic guitars and 
that kind of thing, so I do like to have the detail starting out most of the 
time. 

I find the Slate digital vcc plugs a good means of colouring things in very 
subtly in the box, and some of the Waves comps and stuff really help with the 
task. 

now I haven't used it, but I am very intrigued by a 4 channel unit SSL have 
that would come in somewhere around $1000 I guess, with their vhd pre in it. It 
is a circuit they have in their flag ship consoles for the pre's. The pre has 
an input and out put control, and then a vhd knob that moves through odd and 
even order harmonic distortion. The more you push the input knob the more it 
excites the vhd circuit, and you can use the output knob to bring the level 
back down to an acceptable level into your converters or wherever the output is 
going. Conversely, I believe you can get rather clean results keeping the input 
knob at a low level and boosting at the output stage. 

I'll hopefully be getting one of these into the studio to demo soon once I 
actually have time to play with it an

Re: Thoughts on Preamps

[Brian Casey]

I have thought about this a lot recently Nate and will post a more lengthy 
reply tomorrow, but in short:

I'm all about great mikes and relatively affordable and clean ptre's, because I 
feel I can trust my software tools to colour to taste in so many ways. Maybe if 
I had loads of pre's or outboard I'd change my tune but getting clean feels 
right still and I haven't looked back

Hey Pops! haha

Fantastic track, really enjoyed it. anywhere we can listen to the original 
to comprae, how much di dyo  change it, did you keep any of the original 
music etc?


I'd probably extend the low end and harsh up that kind of snare sound you 
were using or pitch shift it up or something, but well done great sounding 
track.

Re: Using a computer onstage,. Take 2

[Brian Casey]

Also i believe the ios aps are getting better all the time. There are some good 
affordable looping aps which might cover you on that front, not sure on access 
but a couple euro isn't a bad loss and i have had with most aps I've tried 
across the board. 

I think having a looping setup separate like that and then main stage or sonar 
or whatever running synth patches is your best hope. There are also some other 
stand alone vst players for live performance but I think access is only being 
discussed at this stage.

Mainstage is probably something of a standard these days and though its not 
particularly vo friendly there seems to be a few using it. Apparently logic 
will improve in terms of access sometime soon so who knows, mainstage could be 
a good gamble long term.

Re: Using a computer onstage,. Take 2

[Brian Casey]

That really depends on which your more comfortable with which runs more stable 
for you etc. I find sonar quicker to navigate generally so that's why I go with 
it. I always create my own sfz instruments for triggaring samples in very 
specific ways etc.

I think you just need to figure exactly what sounds you want and figure how 
realistic that is to achieve with the gear you have by experimenting and 
testing. More and more I find dedicated hardware more reliable and more 
inspiring despite all the amazing stuff I have on my computer. I would think 
that protools and sonar should perform equally well ijln terms of playing and 
manipulating soft synths from a controler on stage but there will be 
differences in workflow changing patches tracks etc.  looping is another matter 
entirely then, layering sounds on the fly for performance is not a strong point 
of either pt or sonar. 

Our options are limited as always but even for sighted musicians live audio 
looping is often let to dedicated hardware even today.

Re: Using a computer onstage,. Take 2

[Brian Casey]

I've used virtual instruments live with sonar but daws are not suited to live 
looping based performance in my opinion. Dedicated hardware like guitar pedals 
or korgs kaoss pad are the best option for that. 

Just last year I did a series of live electronic performances improvising with 
a kaoss pad with sends in and out of sonar. This stuff requires stable low 
latency gear and lots of rehearsing with solid back up planning. Not for the 
faint of heart but it is very fun and interesting. 

I don't know off hand of a plug that handles live looping reliably the way the 
relatively cheap hardware does but something like izotope stutter edit could be 
good to bass a performance style around. I don't know about voice over but 
there are jaws scripts on the way for stutter edit, either way it is midi 
controlable so with help you could set up templates even if voice over doesn't 
play nice!

As always with electronic music it depends on the style you choose and how you 
want to communicate the skill in the performance to an audince.

Hi,

What do you want to do with the computer, what software gear etc have you 
available?

Re: an update regarding my meeting with Avid

Slau, great stuff, i also noticed two very strong supportive mentions of the 
meeting on dave pensados youtube show, i'm sure your more than aware of that 
very public and intentional shout out! 

Everything you've been telling us about the merrits of your approach seems to 
be justified completely, well done, hopefully these meetings can consolidate a 
more official and future proof state of affairs.

Please help contribute to an online database of information for visually impaired musicians etc

[Brian Casey]

Hi all,

I have no affiliation with this website, but a guy by the name of Steve who 
contributes and is very helpful on the midimag list has created a website 
called VIP audio access (VIP standing for visually impaired persons/people 
etc presumably).


On the website he sells very complicated jaws scripts that he has developed 
for spectrasonics products, but its not purely a money making venture, in 
fact i'm fairly sure he will never see anything close to a finantial gain 
from his work.


More importantly, he has set up useful ways to contribute information about 
accessible music making technology and software, and I for one want this 
kind of information in as many easily searched places as possible, so I'm 
contributing whatI know about technologies I use. I'm very much windows and 
sonar oriented at present however, so I would love if some people here could 
contribute some info about plug-ins they use on ProTools/logic/garage band 
on the mac side of things as I only had a breef period working on those 
ProTools myself.


I know Kevin Reves has began a website project for gathering info on 
ProTools access into one place, but as said previously I feel the more 
places this information resides the easier it is to find for a newcomer.


Perhaps a few of you might get started by providing some info on the 
plug-ins you use on ProTools and the ways you access them by filling in this 
form, as at present, due to my contributions particularly its very much a 
windows/jaws/sonar oriented resource.


Heres the link to the form:

http://www.vipaudioaccess.com/review-audio-accessibility/

Hope some of you can take the time to contribute, as i think for google 
searches etc a website/blog format like this with tags etc should throw up 
good results for someone searching for answers...I know that when I started 
exploring the web for such info about 7 years ago when i made serious moves 
towards making music with computers I wasn't the best at seeking out mailing 
lists, piecing together information and I had very little guidance. The more 
website type resources for this the better in my opinion.


I also hope to write an overview type article for this website and any 
others interested in publishing it giving a view of access solutions 
available across the various daw platforms without getting into the 
arguments about personal preference or the nitty gritty details. We all know 
the 'which is better ProTools/sonar etc' are some of the first questions new 
comers ask on lists like these, and for good reason, so having an article 
frequently updated as the need arises detailing  the obvious pros and cons 
from an access point of view should be helpeful.


due to my relative lack of knowledge on ProTools access I might ask 
Kevin/Slau/Chuck or some of the other knowledgeable contributers I've read 
posts from on this list a few questions to see if there's anything i'm wrong 
on etc whenI do write that article. It will be quite general however so I 
should have a good handle on things as is.


And just to settle any fears, I will not make any reference to Slau's 
meetings with Avid/digi design or that stretch of work done on voice over 
access two years ago, as I'm sure there's no benafit to having public 
reference to that interaction with avid in case they get scared! Although, I 
believe Chuck has a different take on that kind of thing, I recall 
references to squeaky wheels etc?! Of course, be assured that I meant that 
comment in the best possible spirit, I respect Chuck's contributions as much 
as anybody elses.


Anyway, thanks for reading,

Brian.
