Re: Sound effects library integration with pt 12, using the workspace browser

[HF]

Most libraries will have index files and if you're lucky, the files will 
be labeled as well. I worked on a few independent films and found that I 
had to jump through a whole lot of hoops within Pro Tools. I kept poking 
at the workspace to get any sort of workflow but it was lacking and very 
frustrating because it just didn't work nor was it accessible.


I used a combination of finding files in finder, previewing them right 
within finder and either importing them into PT or dragging them into a 
track. I was able to do that successfully but it took to long and too 
many steps. Plus, I could not audition against the audio that I already 
had in Pro Tools. Lots of trial an error and a whole lot of imagination.


I got so frustrated with Pro Tools that I bounced stems, imported them 
into Sonar 8.5 and used the Media Browser which would be the WorkSpace 
Pro Tools equivalent. There I could easily preview and audition against 
my bounced stems from Pro Tools and quickly import what I needed into 
their own tracks or one track depending on what the scene/dialog needed. 
At least that way I could narrow some of the files that I may or not use 
at all. I then imported those tracks back into Pro Tools to finish my 
editing.


What wound up working best and it still wasn't ideal was to find sound 
effects that I thought I could use, import them into separate tracks and 
I got extremely creative on markers. You can do some pretty amazing 
things with them.


I thought this would have been a great way to use playlists but they 
weren't meant to be used like this. Although how cool it would be to 
import a bunch of sound effects into one track and just move the ones 
you wanted from the an individual playlist, move sound effect to where 
you wanted and the session on a different track and clean up would be 
pretty easy by deleting that one track.


The hardest lesson for me was that finding the sound effects was the 
easy part. Making it fit to the program on the other hand was a 
completely different animal.


Every sound effect cataloging program I looked at either wasn't 
accessible or just didn't give me what I wanted as fast as I needed it.


I took it scene by scene and took copious amounts of notes on which 
sounds I may need to augment/fill in. I then went to some sound effect 
libraries I own and gathered what would remotely fit. I put them in 
specific folder so I wouldn't have to hunt for them later. When the 
files weren't named I used indexes that told me where those files should 
be. I also gathered all of my indexes in one place from my libraries. 
Sometimes I had to look them up on the internet and download what I 
needed. At least then, they were of quality and they were named 
properly. I would put those in their respective scene folders.


Most of the higher end libraries puts things in some semblance of order 
so sometimes I would just listen rather than only listening to correctly 
labeled things.


I attempted to use Digital Juice at the time but found it completely 
inaccessible.

Hi List,

I have a sound effect library I need to access while in pro tools and before

Also Have you guys heard of an app called  SoundMiner for quick accessing of 
sound effects libraries?

Thanks

Accessible Spectrum analyser

Cross posting this.

Subject: [ddots-l] Fw: Accessible Spectrum analyser

Dear Dancing Dots list,

following on from the kind advice of Bill McCann, please find below a 
call for end user feedback for an audio plug-in


I am developing for visually impaired musicians and audio producers.





Fiore Martin here, from Queen Mary university of London. I developed the 
Accessible Peak Meter, a VST/AU/AAX plug-in which


makes peak meters accessible. More info on the plug-in at :
http://depic.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/apm/

I am now in the process of  developing another plug-in, the  accessible 
spectrum analyser.


The idea is more or less to use the same sonification strategy as in 
the Accessible peak meter, but this time to make frequency spectrum 
graphs accessible.



I am about at the point where I can scope the frequency spectrum of a 
signal as a graph in real time.


So I am now trying to figure out useful sonifications based on the tasks 
that you guys normally carry out when recording/producing



So imagine you have a tool that sonifies the frequency spectrum somehow.

For instance it can emit beeps when the power of some frequencies 
trespasses a threshold or it can sonify the level of selected bins.



Could you think of what information you would like to get from it ? 
Namely, how would you put it to good use in your tasks ?




A few examples off the top of my head:


- select a range of frequencies, say from 20Hz to 200Hz, and emit  a 
beep each time any of these frequencies goes past a threshold value


- select a range of frequencies and map the level of each frequency bin 
to a note.  The idea being that you can produce chords out of the bins 
in the range
and see if it is similar to the chords produced by another channel of 
the mix. This way you notice if two instruments overlap and phase cancel 
each other


- play all the frequency bins that go past a certain threshold, each 
with a pitch mapped to its position in the frequency spectrum.  so you 
know which the

fundamental and harmonics frequencies  are.


These examples were just to give you an idea of course: any other 
suggestion would be welcome


Also it would be great if you could specify the tasks in which you'd 
find any sonification strategy useful.




looking forward to hearing from you

all the best

thank you

Fiore

Hey Slau, any discussions about elastic audio? If I'm not mistaken you 
can tab to warp markers. Just haven't figured out how to manipulate them.

Re: an explanation of playlist lanes with VoiceOver

[HF]

Slau, did you notice if the lanes translated into the representation on 
your control surface? Last time I tried using this it didn't and that 
was an early version of PT 10. The other thing I found confusing was 
that you could also take the insertion cursor to another track. At the 
time I wasn't using the show and hiding of specific tracks.

it's possible to use VoiceOver to promote sections of various playlists to the 
master playlist, in my opinion, it's not as efficient as simply switching 
between playlists in normal waveform view. Here's what goes on when using 
playlist lanes instead of waveform view:

Lanes are displayed beneath the master playlist which is the top-most playlist. 
Two buttons appear in each playlist lane, a solo button and a button to copy to 
the main playlist. If you don't solo any playlist lane, you will hear nothing 
being played back from the main playlist, assuming it's empty. when you press a 
solo button within one of the playlist lanes, you will hear that particular 
playlist being played. Pressing other solo buttons will instead solo those 
playlist lanes. The tricky thing, however, is that the insertion point can be 
in any of the lanes while any of the lanes are soloed. In other words, you can 
solo lane 2 and scrub in lane 4. You will not hear the scrub because you have 
lane 2 in solo. Further, this mode of solo in playlist lanes is independent of 
the track's solo button. This can get a little confusing if you don't follow 
along. Further, if you're in a lane that is soloed and you move the insertion 
down to a lower lane with Control-semicolon, pressing Shi

ft-s will not necessarily turn off the solo but it will solo the lane within 
which the insertion appears. The behavior is not what I'd call intuitive. Mind 
you, for a sighted person, it all makes perfect sense because one can see at a 
glance which lane is soloed and where the insertion point is located. It 
certainly is usable and it's quite possible to accomplish the task of promoting 
sections of various playlists with the Control-Option-v command after passing 
the keystroke through VoiceOver but, to me, it's still preferable to switch 
between playlists.


My personal method for editing playlists is as follows:
I always keep the initially created playlist blank and I automatically 
duplicate the empty playlist for each take. Assuming we've recorded 3 takes of 
a vocal, I'll start with choosing the overall best take and copying it in its 
entirety to the top-most main playlist. I'll normally listen through until the 
first objectionable word or phrase. Let's say the best take was take 3. I would 
then switch to take 1. Incidentally, setting a hotspot on the playlist selector 
is a good idea. That said, while switching between playlists, VoiceOver will 
normally stay focused on the playlist selector so just pressing 
control-Option-Space Bar will work almost every time. The hot spot helps as a 
backup.

After listening to the alternate playlists, I select the phrase, usually while 
holding down the shift key while scrubbing but, of course, there are several 
ways of selecting the audio. One more switch to the main playlist and a paste 
and I continue on to the next problematic word or phrase. Compiling in this 
manner is perhaps not as quick as visually soloing between playlist lanes but 
it is very straight-forward and reliable.

Re: feedback needed for Pro Tools 12

[HF]

Slau,

You have probably covered the really important things for the rest of us.

One thing for me that is important and this could just be a workflow 
thing that I haven't quite nailed down is using the comping keyboard 
shortcut in playlist view. Right now comping consists of navigating to 
playlist button, copying what we want, navigating to playlist button 
again, selecting master playlist and pasting in. That's four steps or 
five.. In playlist view, it consist of auditioning alternative 
takes/lanes, making a selection and promoting with one keystroke to the 
master playlist.

It should work fine for any selected tracks. Do solo and mute work
correctly when you click on either button using VoiceOver? In
other words, have you confirmed that it's just the shortcut
functionality that isn't working or whether the functions
themselves aren't working? Solo functionality can sometimes seem
not to work if the All Group is inadvertently enabled since all
tracks would follow. So, if you solo one track, all tracks become
soloed and it sounds like everything is audible and nothing is
soloed. With mute, however, with the All Group enabled, muting one
track would mute everything so it's much more obvious. At any
rate, I'd be curious to know whether the solo and mute
functionality is not working, regardless of shortcuts.

Re: Instructions for using clip gain.

[HF]

lip gain is pretty awesome. It's even easier though. After you make a 
clip you can immediately use control+shift+up or down arrow to adjust. 
If you have loop playback checked, you can loop and listen and adjust 
until you get to where you want it.

Hi everyone,
 I am very happy to say that clip gain is very accessible. I use 
it all the time for nudging vocal phrases up or down instead of 
automation. I find it more accurate and it's undoable. Here are step 
by step instructions.
 Under the editing tab of pro tools preferences, interact with 
clips, and vo right arrow to clip nudge value, and vo space bar on the 
actual value. Press the delete key to clear the current value, then 
type in the value in DB that you want such as 2.0
Ok out of preferences, then under the clips sub menu of the view menu, 
make sure that clip gain line and clip gain info are both checked. Now 
you can use the key commands shift control up arrow and shift control 
down arrow to nudge the value up or down. Oh, I forgot to mention that 
before you can nudge the value you have to select the region you want 
to nudge, then press command E to separate it in to it's own clip.
Also, the commands shift control up and down arrows may be assigned to 
os 10 commands, so make sure to turn them off in system preferences.

Hope this helps.

Re: spotting and PT 11 questions

[HF]

Really good point and something that almost escaped me.

Along those lines, the last dialog box right before you import a file, 
you can specify exactly the time you want the import to happen. It works 
fine except that it doesn't read what I wrote. Has that been fixed in PT 
11. PT 10 does not read what I wrote after I hit enter and review. 
VoiceOver just says text.


In pt 10 there seems to be some fields missing in the time operations 
dialog boxes. Like in insert time, I don't see where you can input the 
time.. Has that been fixed in pt11?

Two things that I can think of off the top of my head:

2. More likely, you inadvertently engaged the Num Pad Commander.
Press Control-Option-Clear on the numeric keypad and see if it

Even if you route the mouse cursor to your voice over cursor, the mouse stays

your mouse cursor is.
Ssited person told me that  when I press vo+cmd+f5, the mouse cursor jumps to

Sometimes closing and reopening the window does the trick, and sometimes I have

Re: Digi003 questions

[HF]

It works great for plug-ins. Any automatable controls get automatically 
mapped to the encoder knobs. You'll have to use the flip button to 
switch to the faders. Its a much better representation and very tactual. 
This unit can do quite a bit so be patient and go through the manual.

in that sense but, if it's anything like other Avid surfaces with

Slau





Digi 003 Layout

Top Console Section
The Digi 003 includes an LCD display across the top of its mixer section.
To the right of the LCD display is a rectangular button labelled
*Display Modes*.
To the right, there are LEDs which are beneath the face of the surface
so they're not at all tactile. These LEDs indicate:
Host, WordClock, S/PDIF, ADAT, MIDI In, MIDI Out 1 and MIDI Out 2.

Main Console right side master section

Below the Display Modes button on the right side of the surface are 4
gain knobs which are:
*Preamps 1 through 4*.
Below each gain knob are a pair of buttons (for a total of 8 buttons in
a single row). The left side button is the
*Mic/D.I. *button and the right side buttons the
*HPF* or High Pass Filter button.
When the Mic/D.i. button is extinguished (it's default state), it's in
mic mode and when lit, it's in D.I. mode.
below the row of Mic/D.I. and HPF buttons is a row of 6 buttons. One
button is set apart to the left and is labelled:
*Meter*. This button toggles the function of the LEDs above each channel
strip.
The remaining 5 buttons in this row are:
*Aux In to 7-8*, *3-4 to Headphone 2*, *Aux In*, *Alt Control Room* and
*Mono*.
Below these buttons are three knobs (rightmost in a row of knobs) and
are labelled:
*Phones 1*, *Phones 2* and *Monitor*.
A button to the right of the Monitor knob is labelled
*Mute*. Upon powering up the 003, the Mute button is automatically engaged.
Below the Headphone and Control Room knobs are 4 rows of buttons. The
first three rows contain 6 evenly spaced buttons. The buttons in the
first row are:
*Record Arm*, *MIDI Map A*, *MIDI Map B*, *Save*, *Undo* and *Enter*.
The buttons in the second row are:
*Memory Locate*, *MIDI Recall*, *MIDI Edit*, *Utility*, *Fader Mute* and
*Focus*.
The buttons in the third row are:
*Plug-in*, *Mix*, *Edit*, *Loop Play*, *Loop Record* and *Quick Punch*.
The fourth row contains 5 buttons. There's a gap between the first
button and the remaining four buttons. The first button is labelled:
*Master Faders*.
The remaining four buttons are:
* Flip*, *Bank*, *Nudge* and *Zoom*.
Below these buttons are the
*Scrub/Shuttle wheel* and the
*Up/Down/Previous/Next* buttons oriented in a north, south, east, west
fashion.
The Scrub and Shuttle wheels are concentric with the Scrub wheel on the
inner circle and the Shuttle on the outer circle.
Below these controls are the Transport buttons which are (from left to
right):
*Return To Zero*, *Rewind*, *Fast Forward*, *stop*, *Play* and *Record*.

Main Console Channel Section

The main Channel strip section of the control surface occupies most of
the control surface. beginning at the bottom, there are
*8 touch-sensitive moving faders*.
Above each fader are 3 buttons. From bottom to top, they are::
*Mute*, *Solo* and *Select*. Above these buttons are the
*Encoder knobs*. Above each encoder knob, there is a small column of 5
LEDs. These function both as level meters and automation mode
indicators. In Automation mode, from top to bottom, the LEDs are labelled:
*Write*, *Touch*, *Latch* and *Read*. The bottom LED is unlabeled.
above the LEDs, in line with the 8 columns of channels, are 8 buttons
labelled:
*EQ*, *Dynamics*, *Insert*, *Pan/send*, *Page Left*, *Page Right*,
*Master Bypass* and *Escape*.
Along the left side of the surface are two columns of buttons arranged
in several groups. The top two buttons in the first group are even with
the row of 8 buttons along the top of the channel strips. The top group
of buttons include 5 buttons in the left column and 3 buttons in the
right column. Note that there are gaps between the 3 buttons in the
right column.
The left column buttons are labelled:
*A/F*,*B/G*, *C/H*, *D/I* and *E/J*.
The 3 buttons in the right column are labelled:
*Pan*, *Send* and *Insert*.
The next group of buttons is in line with the channel strips' Select
buttons and consists of one button in each column. The left button is
labelled:
*Default* and the right button is labelled:
*Input*.
The group of buttons below this are the Automation Mode buttons. the
left column buttons (from top to bottom) are labelled

Re: PT session confusion

[HF]

The trackpad was only used for navigating purposes. I used an actual 
mouse for the clicking part. I thought that I could utilize the trackpad 
in the clicking too. But I haven't quite gotten that. It was so much 
easier getting to each individual tracks solo button using the trackpad 
than using the regular VoiceOver keyboard commands.



I'm monitoring through the SSL nucleus. I am  only using 1/2 stereo. 
Using the routing that I first explained in the first email, when 
soloing any tracks, it had absolutely no effect in what I heard. Nothing 
at all was soloed. Only one track, the full mix aux track seemed to be 
playing. I thought that since everything kind of ended there, I should 
be able to change things and hear any changes that I made.

Hi Herman,

I suppose there are four possible states for the solo button:
1. Solo button, which would be the normal, unengaged state, in other words, off 
or not soloed.
2. selected solo button, when the solo button is engaged, in other words, on or 
soloed.
3. off safe solo button, which means the solo button is in safe mode but not 
engaged, in other words, off.
4. on safe solo button, which means the solo button is in safe mode and it is 
engaged or on.

Until you get things behaving the way you'd like, I'd probably try to disable

In addition, all aux tracks should be solo safe. Display only aux tracks and

It's possible that the auxiliary tracks are not "solo safe," that is,

Actually, the process of soloing is really like muting all other tracks

in an automated way. If you solo safe the aux track by Command-clicking
its

Re: PT session confusion

Yes. When everything sent out to 1/2 stereo, I can solo/mute at will and 
here my changes. The routing that I have within the session makes sense. 
At least on paper. But...When trying to work with it, I don't get it 
because soloing/muting should work? Shouldn't it?

toggle from off safe solo to just solo. Is there any trick for this? I 
got all the other tracks but this one...

Hi Herman,

I suppose there are four possible states for the solo button:
1. Solo button, which would be the normal, unengaged state, in other words, off 
or not soloed.
2. selected solo button, when the solo button is engaged, in other words, on or 
soloed.
3. off safe solo button, which means the solo button is in safe mode but not 
engaged, in other words, off.
4. on safe solo button, which means the solo button is in safe mode and it is 
engaged or on.

Until you get things behaving the way you'd like, I'd probably try to disable 
all of the groups.

Just cause I get lost in the vernacular and voiceover reports things,
what should solo say. Should it say "off safe solo" or just plain
solo. Is it a three position toggle? Solo, off safe solo and onn safe
solo. I'll check again when I get in front of my rig again because I
only heard two things, off safe solo and just plain solo.

Should I de-activate any of the active groups. The all groups is not
active anymore.

Herman,

Just a few things to make sure:
The all group should be off because it'll screw with your ability to solo.
In addition, all aux tracks should be solo safe. Display only aux tracks and
systematically make sure they're all solo safe. Beyond that, soloing any
audio track should work. Let us know how it goes.

Some of the tracks were on "off solo safe". When I held the command

I'm still not able to solo or mute individual tracks.

I looked at the groups in case I could figure out something from
there. I made the all group active and and made the rest of the groups
inactive and still can't solo or mute individual tracks.

Hi Herman,

It's possible that the auxiliary tracks are not "solo safe," that is,
when
any track is being soloed, the rest of the tracks are solo muted,
including
the aux tracks. Solo muting is different from engaging a regular mute.
Actually, the process of soloing is really like muting all other tracks
but
in an automated way. If you solo safe the aux track by Command-clicking
its
solo button, it will not mute when any solo button is engaged. Give it a
try. That might be the solution.

You would usually be completely right Chris, however, I am using Eleven
Free, which is a guitar Amp simulator, and not a particularly great one
either LOL.

I'm running the cabs distorted, to achieve a stereo electric guitar
sound from a mono signal LOL, which actually worked pretty well, but it
did mean that I had 4 instances of Eleven going.

Just for the archives sake, I got round it in two ways:

1. Using Slau's suggestion, I did the following:
Made all non essential tracks inactive and hid them (just so I could see
which ones weren't being used).
I already had my recorded guitar signal dry on one channel, so I routed
it to bus 9 and 10.
I created two AUX channels, both Mono (Eleven doesn't show up in
stereo), one with bus 9 as the input, and the other with bus 10. Got the
amp settings, and eq how I wanted, then set the track's outputs to bus
23, and 24 respectively.
Finally, A last stereo audio channel, with it's input set to Bus 23-24
was used, which when armed took the audio from the mess documented
above, and recorded the guitar signal to a stereo track.

Now I just have compression, and a second level of eq on it, and it
actually doesn't sound too bad.

Anyways, thanks for the suggestions all,

Have fun,

First of all, why are you putting all those plugins on your instrument
tracks?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding exactly what you're doing, but if
I'm understanding correctly, would it not be easier to put the effects
all on an auxiliary track, then use your sends to route the audio from
all the instruments needed through to that one aux, then just move the
aux track up and down if you needed to ajust over all amounts etc?

Sorry, maybe I'm not getting what you're trying to accomplish, but
aside from making certain tracks be inactive... that can simply be
done by interacting with the track list table, making sure the tracks
you wanna make inactive are selected, then do your vo+shift+M and go
down to make inactive, and hit vo+space.

Just know that if you do that though, odds are, you'll then not be
able to even hear the tracks since they're inactive.

Hiya All,
I have a project which has just topped my computer's CPU off. It has a
couple of software instrument tracks, and a lot of Eleven Free
plugins. I can't even get it to play the opening bars LOL.

So, I was wondering: Does Pro Tools have a lock track function like
Garage Band does?

I seem to remember Lock Tracks gave you the ability to bounce a single
track to disc, so it wouldn't be processed. This seems like a really
simple feature, so I'm just wondering if Pro Tools can do the same.

Cheers, and have fun.

You can certainly try that. Go to the I/O Setup and in the Busses tab, select

It still puzzles me, however. Pro Tools is supposed to use the first available

Hey Gordon,

Just to clarify, every Pro Tools session has 128 stereo or 256 mono
channels of busses which may or may not be used but are available for
assignment. Further, an auxiliary track is technically known as an
"auxiliary input" so it's source doesn't necessarily have to be a bus.
You can have an aux input that gets its feed from your interface as
well. Plus, of course, busses can feed busses. For example, you can have
a bus for several soprano, alto, tenor and bass tracks and have all of
those 4 aux tracks output to yet another bus for, say, an entire choir
and put that on one fader. Of course, you probably already figured that
from prior experience ;)

create the output busses themselves as needed. I certainly am familiar
with working with busses, sends, inserts, etc. Back in the day I had

Have Him Follow this path find the set up menu; next find the I/o;

which is located near the bottom of the PT I/O set up window.
MAKE SURE that " Sessions overwrite current I/O Setup when opened;

direct monitoring in PT

[HF]

Not exactly an accessibility question but something is not working for 
me an thought some of the old timers could help.


According to the manual, once you unchecked the box that link the record 
and play faders, you should be able to have PT have two different volume 
settings.  When recording, I don't want to hear latency, so I can turn 
down the volume so as to not hear the latency and just directly from the 
board I'm using. Now when playing, I want the volume to be brought back 
up to whatever I had it set too. In Sonar, you can just simply turn off 
the input monitoring. Apparently this is the only way of doing this in 
PT. Except that it isn't working for me and I want to understand why. 
Bess ides unchecking that box, is there something else I need to do?



Here's what the manual says;

Link Record and Play Faders When selected,
Pro Tools does not remember separate fader levels
for tracks when they are record-enabled, allowing
you to maintain the same monitoring
level for tracks during recording and playback.

Hey Herman,

The zoom buttons work like you'd expect but, for VoiceOver users I haven't yet

VoiceOver sort of scrolls the window as needed when going through tracks.

A weird quirk in Pro Tools with VoiceOver is that the zoom button in the Edit 
window can sometimes appear to VoiceOver as being in the middle of the tracks 
view. So, if you move to the first item, instead of seeing the close and zoom 
buttons, you see Track 1, Track 2, etc. Somewhere after track 15 or so, you 
encounter a zoom button. I can't explain why that is and it also depends upon 
how many tracks you have, etc. Using the Item Chooser will help get to the zoom

Re: Reordering tracks

I tried this today and I'm thinking that I missed something or it no

maximize or resize or something. Not exactly sure. There are no maximize 
commands like in windows that I'm aware of yet, but VO has VO+~ which 
give you resizing options. Except that I can't resize anyting in PT. 
VO+` gives you moving options. That I can do but I don't don't think it 
makes a difference for reordering tracks.


When I interact with the track name in the mix window and 
VO+shift+command+spacebar to start my draggin, it clicks on the Apple 
menu. I've tried the action with cursor tracking on and off and it made 
no difference. I was able to successfully reorder tracksin the Edit

Folks,

In addition to all the valuable tips Slau and Chuck replied with, I
thought I should update this thread to say that there's also a
dragging workflow to reorder tracks.

The following assumes that you're dragging in the mix window:
1. Interact with the track you want to drag, and use
VO+Command+Shift+Space to mouse-down on the track name field. Note
that at this point, you really do have to be interacted, and it'll
only work on the track name field.
2. Uninteract, and navigate left or right along the horizontal display
of tracks until you reach the track to the right of where you want the
moving track to be dropped. When you mouse-up in the next step, the
track you're moving will always be dropped to the left of the track VO
is focused on.
3. Mouse up using VO+Command+Shift+Space again to drop your moving
track. Note that in the mix window, you don't have to be interacted at
dropping stage.

Should you want to perform this workflow in the edit window, the only
significant differences are:
1. The track name field is landed upon as soon as you interact with the tracks
2. You also have to interact and be focused on the track name field to
drop here for some odd reason.

Easier than it sounds believe me. Not always the most efficient
method, but between this and what Slau and Chuck posted, we're pretty
well equipped to rearrange tracks now.

Re: selecting with the slash key

[HF]

I see the correct numbers being put in but when playing back the 
selection, it's not exactly what I selected. If I'm selecting from 12.1 
to 12.2 the selection should be pretty small. Except that it's at least 
two bars or more long when I hit play. My post and pre-roll are turned 
off if it makes a difference and I am in the edit window. It doesn't 
work for me if I am in the mix window.


Also, since it does cycle, how do you know where it is without actually 
being in the counter display cluster?

Re: selecting with the slash key

[HF]

Very clear except I can't get it to work. I don't know what I am doing 
wrong or what I need to get it to work.


1. Hit slash
2. typed in 21
3. Slash
4. 22
5. Hit the enter key on the keyboard. Not to be confused with the enter 
key on the numpad


When hitting spacebar I should be hearing the bar I just selected.. I'm 
hearing where I am and not what I selected.


Do I need to make sure that it's set to bars and ticks. It's the only 
thing I didn't do. If that is the case, shouldn't I be hearing minute 21 
through minute 22?

On 2/20/2011 9:24 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote:

Hey Herman,

Here's exactly how it works:

Pressing the slash key the first time highlights the first field in the Start 
location.
Pressing the slash key a second time highlights the the first field in the End 
location.
Pressing the slash key a third time will highlight the first field in the 
Length location.
Pressing the slash key again will cycle through to Start. It'll continue 
cycling as long as you keep pressing it.

Now, If you press the slash key the first time and, say you're in Bars|beats. 
If you press num pad 4 or any other number , for that matter, and then press 
the decimal key, now the second field, that is, the beats field, will be 
highlighted. So if you now press num pad 3 and hit enter, your start time will 
be bar 4, beat 3.

Pressing the decimal key will cycle you through each field and pressing the 
slash key will cycle you through Start, End and Length.

Let's say you wanted to select exactly 16 bars starting at measure 17. Instead 
of doing the math, you can press slash, press 17 then press slash twice to get 
you to the Length location and enter the number 16. Really simple.

Let me know if that's clear.

Best,

Subject: Pro Tools Hot spot update


Hi Listers,
I just wanted to give a brief Hot spot update..
To make things easier  with hot spots set up the num pad to watch hot spots 
using num pad # 1 to watch the # 1 hot spot and so-forth..
When your in a plugin Waves Rcomp in this case find the threshold and other 
important controls you want to find out what your controller is mapped to..
After you set your hot spots with "VO shift # 1>9" just hit the corresponding 
num pad number for that hot spot and when you touch the correct fader or switch VoiceOver 
announces any change made to that value..
For instance "Threshold minus 6" or what ever you change it to..
If you watch several parameters at once VoiceOver will announce the change of 
that value and that it was the threshold if that is the one  you moved a 
control for..
Very cool!!
In a multi track session using full drum kit just set your hot spots  the way you have your drum 
track layout and for me I hit num pad  number 1 for my kick and voiceover announces "watching 
hot spot 1" and  says the level as it changes, When you want to look at another track  level 
hit it again and VoiceOver announces "no longer watching hot  spot 1"
in This way I was monitoring several tracks at once,
Including watching the master fader output with just the num pad..
If we could name the individual track meter when you would monitor the track it might 
say, " Kick minus 2.5" or what ever when you jump back  and forth VoiceOver 
would announce the track name and its changed  level..
..
Ya all give it a try!!
I think we need a thorough tutorial on hot spots! The VoiceOver help  did not 
seem to go in to enough depth for me..

 I'm missing something or maybe it just can't be done. But how exactly 
do you change plug-in parameters? I can interact with them but can't 
seem to change them. This is not across the board since I haven't really 
tried a whole lot of different plug-ins yet. But yesterday I was messing 
with some of the Waves plug-ins and I could not budge anything. Any 
tips? They were on an insert if it makes a difference. I haven't had 
luck with the Audi suites either.

Re: muting regions

[HF]

 Along those lines, if I make a region which happens to be really 
really loud, can I even out that volume to just that region without 
effecting the entire track?

Re: muting regions

[HF]

 That helps and makes sense. I didn't actually think of duplicating. I 
am confused about the nomenclature. Is a playlist just another lane in 
the track or is it a new set of lanes within that track?

 Regions is defined by any cut I make right? I'll report tonight when

Hey Herman,

When you split a region, there are then two regions butted up against one 
another. If you have two regions adjacent and you create a crossfade between 
them, you still have two regions but, in addition, you now have a third region 
which is a fade region. If you select the fade and delete it, you're left with 
the underlying regions as they were before you created the crossfade.

PT audio suite plug-ins

[HF]

 I am confused about a couple of things in these plug-ins. Everything 
seems to be for the most part straightforward. The 3-band EQ has a place 
where I can change the type of EQ. It feels like I can change it after 
interacting with it. When I stop interacting with it something 
completely different is spoken. So I don't know what I did or even if I 
changed anything or actually choose a type of EQ. Furthermore, when I go 
to the preview button and press it, I hear no changes in the audio 
whatsoever. I'm making very drastic changes so I should hear very 
distinct differences in audio. Then sometimes when I go to the preview 
button, I'm told that I have no audio selected even though I am certain 
I selected a piece of audio before going into the audio suite menu.


The other thing that happens a lot to me is that I don't always go into 
the plug-in window.  I have use the window chooser quite a bit.


Please help. What am I missing.

Yeah, I've tried the bus setup, but found that I never felt
comfortable having VO blaring out of the monitors, it's a separation
thing, I like to have it coming from a different place to the music
for some reason. Given that VO is the only thing going through the
Macbook Pro's internal sound during sessions, and the speakers on the
MBP seem to be loud enough to hear unless I'm working at ridiculous
volumes, I just reverted to the simpler setup.

Definitely agreed about one-eared speech being a lot easier to deal
with alongside maintaining conversations. I find ear buds to be less
intrusive though sound-wise, so long as they're cheapo ones that don't
attempt to seal off and isolate. Then again, my ears are friggin'
elephantine, so my views could be unusual lol.

can't hear the room or monitors through them. Don't use ear buds, as they
partially block your ear, and attenuate the sound a lot. Big fluffy foam pad
open headphones are the thing. You can hear through them, and, since they
cover both ears, at least the tiny bit that they do attenuate the sound will
be even on both ears. If your mixer supports it, pan the bus hard over, so
that the computer is just speaking in one ear. I find that one-ear speech is
easy to separate out from conversations in the room. If you need to switch
off the monitors and listen through headphones, then there isn't any problem
with using good quality open headphones. Sure, they let the room sound in,
but they don't over-hipe the bass like closed headphones do. They leak
sound, but you don't need to worry about that unless you're tracking in the
same room.

You can get some great ones for $30 at Best Buy. lol. Good cheap solution.

Hey Herman,

I tend to think of the screen reader as being one more thing on the list of
noises to keep under control to avoid the volume levels of the session
ramping up and up. Depending on your role during the configuration stages,
screen reader output can be even more important than the audio itself, so
I'd definitely third what Slau and Chuck said about always having the option
of going straight into your ear available for those situations. For me, the
decision about when to beam Mr screen reader directly into Mr brain is a
50-50 balance between what's practical and what's eligant, practical being
you needing to hear fine detail in a noisy control room, eligant being that
although your clients are relaxed about the way the blind dude works,
they'll be less blown away by having to shout over that robot who talks way
too damn much all of a sudden.

On a side note which is probably more to do with VO being too chatty rather
than session conduct though, I had a revelation that I'm not sure if you
already know about. With VO, you can shut the speech up by hitting the Ctrl
key. Standard stuff for pretty much every screen reader I hear you say, and
you'd be right. But, the differences with VO are two-fold:
1. VO actually shuts up on key release, not key down. Important to know if
you want it to be silenced ASAP.
2. Hitting control again will pause the stream of speech from where it left
off. It resumes on key release too BTW.

I figured this out a couple of months ago when I found myself getting really
frustrated with VO seemingly not doing as it's told, I'd be thrashing away
at the control button or just hitting it once and holding it down for the
next keystroke etc, and it'd still be jabbering away over whatever I was
trying to do.
Figured I'd mention it here because once you understand how the behaviour
works, it's a neat way of having just that little bit more control.
It's not documented anywhere I've been able to find either, silly silly
Apple!

 Would you patch the Mac's headphone jack into a mixer and route it

Hi HF,

Well, if you can use the thing at all it's safe to assume you're
running the latest version, because anything predating 8.0.4 didn't
work with VoiceOver lol. For future reference though, one universal
way to check the version of applications is to hit Command+I when
you're focused on an app in a finder window. Somewhere in that file
info box it brings up, you'll find the version number.

VoiceOver and Pro Tools

[HF]

I've only thus far used Pro Tools on laptops. So VoiceOver just comes out of 
the regular little speakers, which is fine. What happens on the Mac Pro's? 
Do we hear Voice over through the onboard soundcard?


I've noticed at my school that any time I've tried to turn on Voice Over on 
any of the PT HD systems, Voice Over either doesn't turn on or no speech. 
Could it be that the onboard sound cards get somehow disconnected or turned 
off?
