Re: Pro Tools, VoiceOver and GPU

[Kevin Reeves]

I don’t know anything about external GPU’s. However, I can safely say that you 
can run the Mini headless, as long as you grab the Compulab Fit Headless 
dongle, which runs about 15 bucks on amazon.
I run my 2012 mini headless all the time on stage with MainStage, and can run 
Pro TOols out in the field with only the dongle plugged in. Hope this helps.

Re: Pro tools on laptop.

[Kevin Reeves]

Pro Tools will run fine on a MacBook Pro. It all hinges on what you're 
wanting to use it for. If simple recording and mixing, We're to the 
point now with these machines that any mac model will pretty much do the 
trick. However, if you're getting into using software instruments like 
Komplete Kontrol, Ram will definitely be a factor.


I have a base model MBP with 4 GB of ram in it used for my normal daily 
computing needs. However, I do have PT and Komplete installed for really 
basic recording if needed.


Komplete in Pro Tools doesn't run that great on this machine because of 
the amount of ram. If I could upgrade this machine to 16 GB of ram, I 
definitely would, but apple have restricted this in newer models.


Just some thoughts.

Re: Anone tried the Presonus Faderport 8?

[Kevin Reeves]

I have one. It's a fantastic device. My only issue I have is that sometimes 
when you move between sessions it doesn't reset the faders. This might be an 
early firmware issue. I keep meaning to call tech-support and bring this to 
their attention, but haven't done so yet. Other than that, it is an absolutely 
fantastic device and I love it.

Re: How would you all as full fledged professionals handle this?

[Kevin Reeves]

I would stop working with him altogether. I would just say that due to artistic 
differences or whatever, it's not a good collaborative relationship. I 
personally don't have time to change diapers or deal with emotional issues when 
it comes to business like this.
It's nothing personal, it's just business. Your time is valuable. It should be 
spent making music, not trying to smooth over bruised egos.

Re: seperate inputs into multiple tracks, I'm in a predicament.

[Kevin Reeves]

That won't work because you're multimix is not a multi track recording 
interface. What it's doing is summing both channels into one. Ditch themixer 
and go get yourself a Behringer UMC 202. It's only 80 bucks on Amazon, and has 
the same microphone preamp's that are on the X 32, which are fantastic.

Group activation bug.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks. Not sure if this has been covered here in a while, but has anyone 
figured out a workaround for the weird group activation bug with voiceover? For 
those who may not be aware. If you activate a group in the groups list table 
with VO space, that group may or may not become active, but other groups in the 
list will. I know that using period, Letter, Period works well, but it would be 
nice to use the list as well when needed.

Thanks.

Am I only getting real time control of my TCE and Pitch shifting through this 
upgrade, or is there an actual difference in the Isotope Radius algorithm? 
There appear to be no real comparisons online, and unfortunately, my ILOK key 
broke during the time I had the demo activated. In result, I never got a chance 
to experiment with it.
I'm torn between this and Serato Pitch N' Time. Unfortunately, P N T can't be 
used within elastic pitch or TCE, so I'd have to do those edits manually via 
the Audio Suite window, which sucks, but if it's better quality, it's time well 
spent.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin

A little comic relief.

[Kevin Reeves]

Here’s a little comic relief to go along with the trump song posted a few days 
ago.
A client on Air Gigs hired me to put some vocals on some of his political 
parodies.
Here’s one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5ITrKoiEzU

It was recorded in Pro Tools, which makes it relevant. Lol.
I did not mix this, however, and he’s not an engineer, so the mix decisions are 
not my personal choices.
But, it was a Karaoke 
track and a vocal, so not much to it.

Enjoy

For Mac and windows, go to http://bearwear.dk and download the latest version.
For iOS and android users, the app is entitled I team talk and can be found in

Once installed on any platform, download and unzip  the following file.

and put you in the correct channel. For iOS users, you may want to use a

android for that matter, run the file from your dropbox folder and it will 
launch the app, connect to the server, and put you in the channel.
If anybody has any questions, feel free to hit me up. I hope to see you guys on

Re: Additional plug-in bundle vs. shipped stock plugs

[Kevin Reeves]

Martin. Grab those plug-ins. They are awesome. They emulate stomp boxes, so the 
controls are incredibly simple and intuitive. It is easy to dial-in tones very 
quickly. It's not that they're better or worse than the plug-ins that ship with 
ProTools, it's that they are different. They offer different textures that 
those plug-ins do not. Especially, the tape echo plug-in. That is absolutely 
phenomenal. I love working with the new plug-ins. I think you'll find them 
inspiring to work with.

Re: Record on USB Hard diskUsing SSd or Sata HD wi

[Kevin Reeves]

Solid-state drives changes everything. Since there's not any spinning platter, 
you can read and write to the exact same drive without any bottle necks. It's 
not a problem. I even have all of my software instruments on the same drive 
that I'm writing to. It does not knock over the system whatsoever. The Samsung 
drives take years and years and years to kill with write cycles. It's not a big 
deal.  By the time you kill one of these drives, you will replace it anyway 
because solid-state technology will have  gone down in price.

You can buy a Samsung EVO and put it in an external USB enclosure. USB 3 is 
definitely fast enough to record to.
Or, you can have your Samsung SSD put into your mac mini by a technician.
This is the better way to go because having your OS and apps on an SSD will 
definitely speed up your machine.
With an SSD, you can record to your internal drive. No need for an external.
Hope this helps.

Re: Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol

[Kevin Reeves]

The only way for this to work, is if you were to purchase one of the control 
keyboards. Then, as long as the contact libraries you were interested in using 
complied with the NKS standard, which is pretty new, they would be accessible. 
There is no other way. The native instruments website has a growing list of 
third-party libraries that use this  nKS standard.

Re: Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol

[Kevin Reeves]

You cannot use voiceover to do anything. Loading and saving libraries, adding 
things to your database, etc., is not accessible at all. The only way to do 
this is through the complete control set up. The cheapest keyboard is the 25 
note controller. It comes with 10 libraries including massive, prism, monarch, 
a high-quality piano, and electric piano, and others. Through the use of the 
complete control set up, you will be able to install third-party libraries and 
load them. As long as they comply with the NKS protocol, Which is native 
instruments new language for allowing instruments to communicate with the 
keyboard controller's knob  mapping.

Re: Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol

[Kevin Reeves]

Yes. You can just buy the hardware, which comes with complete select. However, 
I don't know if contact is in that collection. Since all these libraries are 
based on contact, it might come standard.

Re: Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol

[Kevin Reeves]

You will need Komplete, as well as one of the S series Controllers to 
take advantage of the accessibility features.


Kontakt itself, nor any other single Native Instrument is accessible 
without this setup[.

Re: cpu overload messages, drop outs, and other random pro tools issues

[Kevin Reeves]

This issue lands squarely in the lap of apple.

In apples finite wisdom, they are implementing protocols into their code 
that start shutting down background processes to conserve power, 
irregardless of whether or not it is a laptop plugged in, a desktop, etc.
In result, apps with tons of horsepower requirements are running much 
more sluggishly due to this new implementation.

This has been discussed in great detail on the Pro Tools Expert podcast.
It's effecting graphics rendering and overall performance, and these 
guys aren't happy about it.


Apple is slowly bastardizing it's Pro App market with the latest 
successive releases of it's OS, and it's really unfortunate.

Re: Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol

[Kevin Reeves]

It will be no different in Pro Tools, since the self voicing stuff won't 
be dealing with PT itself.


You'll instantiate it like any instrument track, press the browse button 
on your controller, and away you go.



I'll be working with it extensively in August, and will report my 
findings, but I don't think there will be any differences.

I was asked not to share it. 
The version of complete that will incorporate this accessibility feature will

the demo. He showed it to a couple of us. I'm not sure who shared it over on 
the other list, but they did so without his consent.

Re: Round-Call: Software-Instruments for PT

I have heard the native instruments demo, and it will be ProTools compatible. 
The self voicing part of this uses the Apple system voice, so it can run 
standalone or in any plug and host. Really excited for this new turn of events, 
and the minute that this access  is built into the next version of complete, I 
will be ordering complete ultimate with the 61 note controller. The built in

Re: my control surface dilemma, a real drag

[Kevin Reeves]

I've been recording to an SSD for the past three years. No problems here, and I 
  Have recorded eight tracks at a time when recording multi track. This is 
directly to the OS drive.  ProTools has been snappy, and incredibly responsive. 
Not only that, but I'm also playing sample libraries off of the exact same 
drive. Not to mention, this is all on an antiquated 2009 MacBook Pro.  When I 
got into this whole SSD thing, Brian Smart told me a long time ago that due to 
the speeds of SSD, I would no longer have to compartmentalize everything that 
I'm doing. He has  proven himself right. I have a secondary hard drive in this 
laptop that is a 750 RPM spinning drive, and I actually noticed a performance 
loss when recording to it. So, the SSD wins. As far as avid not approving SSDs, 
I'm not sure what that's all about. All of the guys on ProTools expert swear by 
solid-state drives, and Have  said nothing about ProTools not working properly 
with it.

Just upgrade to an ssd. Pro tools does not require 2 drives. It's just best 
practice with spinning drives. I record to my Samsung ssd with no problems on a

Re: Ventage

[Kevin Reeves]

That synthesizer is called a fairlight CMI. It was the very first sampling 
computer music system. Asfar as vintage synths  for ProTools, I don't really 
know because most of that work I end up doing in reaper anyway. There are way 
more VST and Au  plug-ins freely available than AAX. This is  a licensing issue 
with Avid. It actually costs money for companies to make plug-ins compatible 
with a a X. Therefore, a lot of these really small companies don't make  free 
or low-cost plug-ins for ProTools  which are actually quite good. A prime 
example is the line of GSI plug-ins that emulate be three, roads, and a clan. 
Those are the best I've ever heard, but I can't get them in ProTools.The 
minute  avid allows VST and Au plugs in ProTools, then the plug-in market would 
open up.

Need help with Mackie MCU and Pro Tools.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks.

I’ve been digging into the MCU with Pro Tools, and was curious if anyone had a 
guide or basic write up on it’s functionality in PT.

The manual gets you started with setup and configuration, but now I need to 
know how to do things like enabling automation on tracks, controlling plugins, 
etc.

I’ve been digging around the net for weeks trying to find some kind of guide, 
but everyone only seems to do tutorials on how to get it set up.

I’m extremely frustrated, and if anyone can point me in the right direction, 
I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks so much.

Re: Avid control 24 yes or no?

[Kevin Reeves]

That is really unfortunate. Because the control 24 is far superior than the S 
series. How about the sea 24? Does that only work up to ProTools 10 as well? 
Also, you could look for used command eight. That is still supported in 
ProTools 12.

Re: Can any Avid do the job?

[Kevin Reeves]

What features are you looking for in a control surface?
This might help us pin down what you should look into.

I just feel that the avid stuff is incredibly expensive, and there are 
cheaper options out there that will do the trick, even if they aren't 
taking full advantage of the latest greatest tech innovations.

Re: Can any Avid do the job?

[Kevin Reeves]

No.

Eucon is not an open protocol. It will work with logic, etc, but the 
rest of the world uses Mackie Control or some variant.


Unfortunately, Avid never updated the Mackie protocol in Pro Tools, so 
it is still using HUI, which is more limited.


In a sense, the Mackie Control Pro board that I have has more features 
in Logic than in Pro Tools, because it is using a more updated protocol.


If you are wanting absolute compatibility across platforms, Eucon is not 
the best bet.


It sucks, but it's the reality of it.

Re: Can any Avid do the job?

[Kevin Reeves]

I wrote a huge message about why I hate Avids new artist line of control 
surfaces.
If I'm not mistaken, the s6 is included in that artist line, using the 
Eucon protocol.


I'll give you the readers digest version below.

Firstly, I hate the Eucon protocol.
In my opinion, it runs completely in the face of the streamed-line 
workflow that Pro Tools has always been known for.
Instead of updating an open standard, or building a new one, they bought 
Euphonic and clumsily incorporated it into their setup.


The Eucon control panel has to be running at all times for these mixers 
to work inside of PT.
Yaye. 1 more app to crash for whatever reason, bringing down your daw 
like a house of cards.


If you are using more than 1 unit, get ready to set up a router just for 
these devices.
As expensive as these devices are, they didn't have the forethought to 
incorporate a 1 port Ethernet switch into the guts of the device so you 
could daisy chain devices.


Luckily, the control panel for Eucon is accessible, at least it was 2 
years ago. You could map keys and change basic settings.


Many users are buying used command 8's. Luckily, that protocol is still 
available, even in PT 12.


I went the Mackie Control route because it works. I really don't care 
about fader flip that much.


In my opinion, This whole Eucon thing is where avid went off the rails 
on a lazy train.
Instead of building something great, they bought and bolted on something 
inferior.


Oh well.

Re: Digi 003

[Kevin Reeves]

I've got a Mackie Control pro here and it works fantastically with Pro 
Tools.
Since it is a control surface only, you should not have any problems 
with running it along side your Studiolive.


When the machine is booted up for the first time, it defaults to logic mode.

The manual, which is very short and concise, tells you ghow to boot b 
ack and forth between Pro Tools and logic protocols.


It's incredibly easy.

You'll love it.

some cheap units on there. But I cannot give up my great quality of sound with 
the Presonus studio live. This is a great topic because people who want to use 
both logic and ProTools for whatever reason need to understand what they can do 
and what they cannot do with these peripherals. I am also getting different 
information from Sweetwater on the behrringer they assure me that particular 
brand will not work well with ProTools. The Mac he seems to be the only thing 
that can communicate well with both platforms it also works with Final Cut Pro 
which we may wind up using as well for my business.

It’s A so the are known for their mic press and the 4 band eq on th board. 
The  converters seemed very nice in my experience.  Unlike the Studio live from 
presounus its an analog mixer with the audio not going digital till it hits the 
Firewire bus. The StudioLive is digital so it gets converted to digit as soon as 
the signal hits the mic press.

This is why i ended up going with the Allen & Heath Zed R16 mixer over the   
Presounus. Its a mixer, interface and control surface all none. No motorized faders 
but soft take over so things don’t just  jump when you start moving faders..

Hello All,

I am thinking about hosting a conference call and the topic of course would be 
Pro Tools.

I was thinking about having the conference on a Sunday afternoon 2:00 Central

international or cell ETC

I was thinking about next Sunday Feb 7 and lasting an hour or so.

Any feedback would be appreciated and if no interest that’s fine as well.

Making Kontakt somewhat usable in Pro Tools.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks.

I'm a huge fan of Kontakt libraries, as they offer the greatest realism 
in sampled and modeled instruments.
However, the Kontakt player is incredibly inaccessible. I've wondered if 
there was a way to use Keyboard Maestro to click coordinates on the 
screen, much like Hotspot Clicker or Auto Hotkey on windows.


The topic of using Kontakt came up on the logic list. I responded with 
some ideas, which I'm posting below, as I feel it is absolutely relevant 
to the Pro Tools platform as well.


Begin Post.

I think that Kontakt could potentially be made somewhat usable in both 
logic and Pro Tools using Keyboard Maestro.
We need to do some experiments to see what variables prevent the mouse 
from clicking the correct coordinates.

The 4 main buttons that need to be mapped to key presses are as follows.

1. Load
2. Add to library
3. reset multi
4. close browse window, (for samples missing dialog.)
There are other important buttons in the window, but these are the 4 
most important.



There are some variables that would prevent proper coordinate clicking 
for the above mentioned buttons.
This would include window size and position, the presence of floating 
windows, screen resolution, and other things that I haven't yet considered.
Also, it would be interesting to see if there are challenges which are 
program dependent between logic and Pro Tools.


I just downloaded a keyboard maestro demo, and need to figure out how to 
bind a key command to a coordinate click.

Once I do that, I will get someone to assist me in starting this process.

If anyone has any other insights into this, I'm all ears. I'd love to 
get Kontakt working on the mac platform for us.

Re: Comping issue seems to be resolved

[Kevin Reeves]

Let me explain why this selection toggle issue happens.

When  someone makes edits using the mouse, they are clicking into the 
waveform of a track, therefore placing an insertion point there.


Since we are not using the mouse, we rely on the keyboard to make track 
selections, that's why we need the Track and edit selections options 
checked.


However, sometimes when we begin working, even if we've selected a 
track, the edit selection doesn't take.


Therefore, toggling it will force the edit selection to engage.
You may not have to select another track, you may just be able to toggle 
the track select on and off, not totally sure about this because I'm 
using control P and semi colon most of the time.


If you have a control surface, scrubbing inside the track will also 
create an insertion point.



This trips us all up on occasion, so it needs to be part of our 
preflight check before we begin editing.

Hi Kevin,

As you'll see, Keyboard Maestro is incredibly deep and it can certainly handle 
variables to ensure clicks are performed under the right circumstances, 
relative to the window, etc. Some of its aspects seem sort of confusing when 
trying to define coordinates. I have a bunch of emails from the developer who 
helped me when I was trying to figure out a particular issue. I'll see if I can

 Hi Martin,
 
 I just opened the original zipped session file and I was able to recreate 
 the behavior you've been seeing. As I suspected, it's the issue with 
 having some sort of insertion point within the track. This time, I avoided 
 any kind of scrubbing or shuttling while performing the actions and the 
 audio was not deleted. As soon as I scrubbed momentarily in the track, any 
 type of deletion or editing was possible. BTW, I believe I mistakenly 
 mentioned linking the edit and timeline selection in my previous message. 
 While that should always be checked (except for very specific 
 circumstances), I meant "edit selection Follows Track Selection." With 
 that option turned on, one would think that simply selecting a different 
 track should move the insertion and vice versa. That may be true but, 
 until there's an insertion point of some kind, it's likely that, when a 
 new track is created, there's no insertion cursor, per se. Once there is, 
 however, selecting a track moves the insertion cursor and moving the 
 insertion cursor selects the corresponding track. I think it's specific to 
 a newly-recorded track where, before any editing takes place, there's no 
 insertion point anywhere within the session until you intentionally create 
 one.
 
 I'll see if I can verify this further but I'm pretty sure that's the case. 
 Cheers,
 Slau

Re: bouncing individual tracks

[Kevin Reeves]

Awesome.

Also, I thought I read somewhere that you could bounce several sub mixes at 
once. So for the folks who need to do vocal up, vocal down, instrumental, etc, 
you could render them simultaneously. Is this true, or am I smoking some crack 
that has expired long time ago?

Re: bouncing individual tracks

[Kevin Reeves]

So are you saying that we can now bounce individual tracks instead of exporting?
If so, this is fantastic.
I thought that the bounce option only did stereo bounces.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

[Kevin Reeves]

Actually, that company has had a giant shake up in the past three years. For 
the longest time, I believe the exact same thing you did.  They have since 
bought Midus  TC helicon, and other big companies. When they released their x32 
line of live/studio mixers, it took the pro audio world by storm. All of these 
guys who at one time or anti-Behringer, couldn't say enough nice things about 
this line of boards. The interface that we are discussing has that exact same 
set of preamps in it. I have heard tons of Boardmixes with these preamps, and 
they sound great. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this piece of hardware.

Thank you for this insight. Great points here. Maybe I will go back to my 
original plan of getting a focus right Scarlet 18 I 20. They are fantastic 
interfaces, and worth the wait to get the extra cash together.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

[Kevin Reeves]

This is the rub.

Every company is moving to this software control panel.
This is where you route your headphones and other output pairs, turn direct 
monitoring on and off, add any direct monitoring effects, etc.
The other rub is that the factory defaults for these settings are often not 
desirable, so you have no idea what needs to be changed until you get the unit..
>From what I’m gathering from others in the field, tons of these control panels 
>are inaccessible, and the ones that are, oddly enough, are accessible via 
>windows.
I have beaten my head against the wall to try and find the interface that has 
the most accessible control panel, but without purchasing every one of these 
units to see what the status is, I can only go on hearsay from folks in the 
field.
The fortunate thing about the Scarlet control panel is the fact that it uses a 
standard open dialog box to load control panel settings.
Plus, you can temporarily load settings depending on your needs, and when you 
want the machine to permanently retain the settings, you can burn it to flash 
memory so when you power off the device, those settings are saved.

I am not sure what the status is on the newly released U-phoria interface from 
Behringer: whether it uses a control panel interface or not. I will dig through 
the manual to see what the deal is.

This is the unfortunate Byproduct of companies trying to provide digital 
solutions to analog problems.

Instead of letting the Daw handle routing, which daws are very capable of 
doing, they’re providing these virtual environments, which unfortunately lock 
us out of being able to take full advantage of these units.

End of rant.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

[Kevin Reeves]

When the company I work for was setting up equipment for our first run of 
students back in 2014, we tried the 892 mk3, and I absolutely hated it’s 
interface for configuring and routing audio. It has these push pots that can 
put you into all these crazy modes.
You could be leaning over your interface to plug something in and bump 1 or 2 
of these and end up in some weird mode where nothing was working as you’d 
expect.

Also, I hated the fact that the pots were digital and detented. It drives me 
nuts when these interface manufacturers try to provide some digital solution to 
an analog problem, IE pots on a preamp.

MOTU has always made great interfaces, but I happened to hate the 892 from 
usability standpoint.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

[Kevin Reeves]

I’m a huge fan of the scarlet. But if $499 isn’t in your budget, I wanted to 
hip you to the new Behringer U-Phoria that has just come out.

This is in direct competition with the Scarlet, and has the same preamps that 
are in the X32 line. I’ve heard these preamps and they sound great. If you go 
on youtube and search for Behringer X32 board mix, you’ll hear them in action 
with tons of videos.

The u-phoria is only $199, so could meet your needs as well.

I’m not sure what Behringer’s control panels are like, but the scarlet’s panel 
is not accessible under mac, but I think, according to chad, can be used under 
windows, and you can burn the settings to the machine permanently.

Hope this helps.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

[Kevin Reeves]

You’d have to change the sample rate because you’d have no idea what it is from 
the factory.

Also, don’t worry about setting the settings at the store. Chad and I both have 
presets that are optimal for Pro Tools, and we can just give you that file.

Just looked at the Behringer 18 20 manual and I can safely say that there is no 
control panel needed. There is a direct monitoring knob on the unit, and a 
button for setting sample rate for external digital devices.

For $199, this may be an incredible bang for the buck.

I think I’ll take the plunge here in a few weeks and grab one. I’ll report back.

Request for a quick audio demonstration.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks.

Would someone on this list who is familiar with the process of stretching to 
fill a selection be willing to make a quick audio walkthrough? It’s a very 
simple procedure, and would only take 5 minutes to explain/demonstrate.

I’ve tried using a quick write up that chuck posted a while back, but it’s 
obviously operator error. It just won’t work for me.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Not an official endorsement, but PT 12 works with El Cap.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks.
I stated a few weeks ago that el cap Broke pt 11 in some incredibly weird ways.

The reason I had upgraded one of my machines before it was fully authorized by 
avid was the fact that I was tired of VO being sluggish.

I have a second production machine, so if anything broke, I’d just divert my 
work over to it, as it was still running Yosemite.
Essentially, I couldn’t arm tracks for recording, import audio, or insert plugs.

This week, I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and grab PT 12, as I 
didn’t want to miss my chance to get the full version of the eleven guitar amp 
modeler as an added bonus.

I’m happy to report that on the latest beta of El Cap, Pro Tools 12 is 
functioning as advertised. I’m going through all the new bonus plugs that come 
with 12, and I especially love the Tape Echo stomp box.
I also love the new dashboard when pro tools is first opened. Finally, they 
combined the 2 screens into 1 when creating a new session.

This is my initial look at 12, as I just got it up and running.
I’ll be doing some light client work tomorrow, so we’ll see how this goes.

Your mileage may very, void where prohibited, may cause cramping, gas, 
bloating, and so on and so on.

Install at your own risk.

OT but relevant. Huge deal on twisted wave for 1 day.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks.
This is slightly off topic, but relevant as some of us supplement our Pro Tools 
workflows with apps for post and batch conversion.
There’s this incredibly light weight and accessible audio editor and batch 
converter  for mac called Twisted Wave.
It sports tons of keyboard shortcuts and works much like SF.
When I ran the demo, I was up and running in minutes after familiarizing myself 
with it’s features.
It’s normally 80 bucks, but for today only, it’s  15.
I’ve generated an incredibly easy link so you guys can grab it. head over to 
http://kevinreeves.net/wave .
This deal is being offered via Cult of Mac. The cart tab is unlabeled, so once 
you’ve added to cart, search for and click the text “1 expanded.” 
This will bring up the cart page and you can check out without any problems.
If you want to knock another $1.50 off, sign up for the cult of mac mailing 
list, and you’ll get a 10 percent off coupon code.
Enjoy.

Re: Mixing Drums Question

[Kevin Reeves]

One way to do it is to sample the drummer’s kick where there is no extraneous 
noise and replace it across the whole tune.
Then, just don’t tell him. What he doesn’t know, won’t hurt him. Plus, you’re 
replacing his kick, with, well, his kick.

Some notes regarding Pro Tools 11 and El Capitan.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hey folks.
I upgraded one of my machines to the El Capitan Beta.
As a rule, I never upgrade a mission critical machine to a beta or release that 
is not yet documented to work with Pro Tools, or other mission critical 
software.
However, it came to my attention that El Capitan was much snappier in regards 
to voiceover performance, and I desperately needed that kind of speed, as the 
latest version of Mavericks was laggy and throwing up busy signals left and 
right.
With all of that said, I upgraded knowing full well that Pro Tools could break, 
and I have a laptop capable of letting me get all of my work done, if that were 
to happen.
Well, allow me to warn you, El Capitan breaks pro tools in some weird ways that 
will put you at work stoppage.

1. Importing audio gives you this error.
Could not complete the Import Audio command because Assertion in 
"/Volumes/Development/151228/ProTools/NewFileLibs/Cfd/MacBuild/../MacOS/Cfd_ImportAudioDialogMacOS.mm",
 line 559.
2. You can not arm tracks with either the mouse, voiceover commands, or using 
the Shift R command while in the tracks list.
3. You can not instantiate any plugs what so ever. When you press enter, VO 
space, VO Shift space, or mouse click on any plug.
When you return to the mix window after performing any of these actions, the 
slot you tried to put the plug on remains empty.

I skimmed a thread on the DUC, and others were having the problem with 
importing audio, while others were reporting no problems at all. So, YMMV, but 
you have been severely warned.

None of the above findings are complaints, whines, etc. I knew full well that 
this could happen, and have a backup machine to start using immediately.
I just want to let you all know what the deal is.
I’m sure avid will release a compatibility update soon, and I imagine that this 
is potentially old news to the beta team. I just thought you all should know.

Re: Some notes regarding Pro Tools 11 and El Capitan.

[Kevin Reeves]

Hmm. Me wonders if that is their way of encouraging folks to upgrade by 
cutting off support.
However, They've always been good about providing support for the latest 
OS 1 Pro Tools version prier. However, with their new monthly plans,  
wonder if that will change.

Re: SFZ in pro tools

[Kevin Reeves]

Garage Band has always had Sound Font support via the SF2 AU Plug.
Sfortzando is a stripped down version of the Aria Engine, used by folks 
like Garitan. So when you purchase the Garitan personal orchestra, Big 
Band, or Pocket Orchestra plugs, you are installing a matrix of 16 aria 
players that can be loaded per channel as a multi timberal setup.

All that to say that Sfortzando has revived the SFZ format.
However, it's not accessible with Pro Tools, as the browse button is 
invisible.

Re: Some notes regarding Pro Tools 11 and El Capitan.

[Kevin Reeves]

Pro Tools has always had a history of supporting the most current OS 
with at least 1 prier version. Even though they were at 11, they still 
released a few incremental 10 versions that supported latest OS and had 
a few other bug fixes.


This may not be the case with 12, as they are moving to a more 
affordable upgrade path for users.

Oh sweet. It's on special? I've been waiting for this.

When Sound Shifter is your preferred algorithm in the Pro Tools prefs, 
does this work in Elastic Pitch and time as well?

Also, is the audio suite panel quite usable? Thanks so much for any help.
