Re: Flo Tools conflicts
Okay. I’ve followed all the instructions but some things don’t seem to be working eg double-tapping T for the track menu. No result. I noticed there was a comment regarding some macros not needing to be enabled. Specifically which ones?

Waves and UAD Plugins
Hi All, I know few people here are using Waves and UAD, and they also created presets for them. Having said that, how accessible are they with Voiceover? Do parameters show up on the plugin window, or do you need to use control surface and memorize knobs order for each plugin? Thinking about getting UAD analog classics Plus or Waves ssl. Any other suggestion? Thanks, JL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: Can't Find Controls for elastic audio plug-in?
Hi, I'm sorry for the repost, but does anyone has suggestion about finding the controls for elastick audio in PT11? InPT10, I would open edit window, go to inside the track, and find the controllers that let me change the audio track to tick base and choose elastic audio plug-in. However, I can't find them in PT11. Did they move it somewhere else?

Re: Phase
Thanks. Do you know what voiceover calls it? I looked in both 1band eq2 and eq3. Definitely I couldn't find anything toward the beginning. However, the last parameter was called inv, but not sure if it's the right one. Although I found the parameter for phase in trim plugin, it'd be nice to be able to do it in eq so that I don't have to insert extra.

Re: Questions about Clips
Hi Slau, Again, thanks for the clear explanation. I guess the best way is to audition each files, import the one I want onto new track, edit, and move it back to the original track. I wasn't sure if there was any other easier way to do this. I have another question which I might know the answer. I just want to make sure I'm not missing on a better way to do this. Let's say you want to punch a certain section a few times and select the best one later, and the players also want to hear the little bit of pre roll materials that lead into the punch in section. What's the best way to do this? If you create a new playlist for all the tracks, I assume the players won't be able to hear the pre-roll material before the punch in begins. IF you just punch over the original track, you can hear the pre. However, you'll just over riding it every time a new pass gets recorded. Pro Tools probably keeps the old ones in the clip list, but then you have to swap them around with dragging. Then, is the best way just duplicating the playlist before recording? Also, duplicating the playlist doesn't increase the project size, right? Pro Tools just refers to the original wave files instead of copying them. Thanks, On 10/30/2013 12:40 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: Hi James, 1. Use the Import command under the File menu and choose audio. Navigate to the file, press Enter and then press the Done button. You'll be prompted whether to import to the session or import to a track. Choose the track radio button. 2. That's exactly the steps for auditioning the various takes (or playlists). The master playlist is simply the very first playlist that is created when a track is initially created. There's nothing else that has to be done, it's simply the first. Yes, you can use the Control-Option-v shortcut but, first, you'll have to pass through the shortcut because VoiceOver uses it for adjusting verbosity. Further, once you've pasted it to the master, you can't hear it in context, that is, with the audio that precedes or follows it. I suppose one can just listen to those transitions later and fix them as needed. My personal preference is to actually navigate to the master playlist and audition the beginnings and endings on the spot. 3. The scenario you're using in your final question is best achieved with either visually dragging in grid mode or simply cutting and pasting on the grid. Again, I personally don't use grid mode but I seem to remember somebody trying it and having some success. Again, I couldn't verify how easy/difficult/successful/unsuccessful it would be.

For obvious reasons, this is quite challenging to a VoiceOver user. It used to be possible to do this relatively easily with the old outSPOKEN screen reader. You can still attempt this with a track pad but I can't guarantee success. If you hide all tracks except for the track to which you'd like to drag the clip and set its display to jumbo or extreme, you can route the mouse pointer to the clip, click and drag the clip to the center of the track pad and let go. You'll need to pay attention to whether you have any regions in the track already because you may inadvertently drop a clip right on top of another. If you include a modifier before the mouse down, you can get different results like snapping to the insertion point or activating the spot dialog where you can specify the location where the clip should go. The alternative is to import the clip to a new audio track , cut the clip and paste it into the desired spot on the track you're working on. I should also point out that, if you're dealing with clips from various takes, it's best to create playlists for each take so that each take is easily accessible. Using the name of the track as the basic playlist works best. For example, create a track named Vocal and duplicate it. The resulting track name, and therefore playlist, becomes Vocal01. As you record onto this track, the filenames will start with Vocal.01-01, Vocal.01-02, Vocal.01_03, etc. This is all vocal take one. When you're ready for take two, create a new playlist and the track name will automatically be Vocal.02 and the filenames will all be .02_01, .02_02, .02_03, etc. In the end, copy the best take into the original playlist named Vocal and then use bits of whichever take is best for any given line, phrase, word, etc. If you make a selection in the master Vocal playlist, you can audition the various takes and the transport will just play the selected area. When you find the take that sounds best, copy, then move to the master playlist and paste. 3. Also, is there a shortcut to nudge a selected clip to a closest grid without cutting and pasting? I never use Grid mode so I can't comment. I do use nudge mode to essentially accomplish the same thing providing I'm moving by bars and beats. 4. Let's say I have clip A on bar 1 and clip B on bar 2, and both are 1 bar long. I accidentally nudged Clip A to bar 2, so they overlap exactly on the same spot. Then how can I choose clip A or clip B? If the two clips are exactly the same length and you've nudged one on top of another, it's not possible to select the one beneath, at least as far as I can tell. Now, that may be different in version 11 and I don't know off the top of my head. I won't be able to check that for another day or so

Hello - Jim Abbott, Syracuse posting
Hello everyone, Jim Abbott from Syracuse University posting. I'm a professor here in the School of Music (audio engineering), and am doing research in collaboration with the Burton Blatt institute, developing ways to make pro audio technologies more accessible. It's called MTAP, Music Technology Access Project. It's a nascent program, but development is well under way. The idea is to help recording engineering be a viable professional pursuit regardless of disability. Frankly I have been amazed to find how little work has been done in this area. We have been working with Pro Tools exclusively up to now. But plan to expand it to other DAW systems (Logic, Cubase, Etc). To date we have clobbered together a very reliable voice command system and a control surface system using an iPad. Anyhow I thought I'd reach out, and join the discussion. Your list is great and I have already learned a lot looking through the posts. Best, Jim
