Ok, have to find out about licensing options in Avid. 
I have no studio as such, i’m an amateur making productions in my living room 
so i have no clients as such, so time isn’t necessarily of the esance because i 
would think that an Avid control surface is quite a costly business, so can i 
manage without one or is it like it was back in the 11 days that a control 
surface was in principle mandatory?

2018-02-06 Thread Krister Ekstrom
That is exactly the reason why i leftt Pro tools, the fact that you were almost 
forced to have a control surface to do most of the work quickly and not only 
that, if you were going to have a control surface where you didn’t have to 
learn and assign all the parameters yourself, you *had* to have a surface that 
was fully integrated with Pro tools and in Sweden that meant a five figure 
amount of money, something i most definitely could not afford. I left Pro tools 
around version 11 so i have probably missed things but i felt there was too 
much to sift through in terms of manuals and howtos spread far and wide around 
the net.
What Logic has that Protools doesn’t have is a ton of very good instruments and 
soft synths and i appreciate that.
Heck i don’t even know if i as an old PT 11 user can even get into the eko 
system again without paying humongous amounts of money, because they changed

2016-04-06 Thread Krister Ekstrom
5 grand in Us dollars and with taxes and other things smacked on is about ten 
times as much in SEK so if something costs like 400 dollars, you can safely put 
another zero to the end of the number and you get quite close. So if i want an 
Avid control surface which as i understand it is about the only surface that 
can take the full advantage of Protools features it would be like 25000 to 
3 swedish crowns, a number that’s way, way, way, way out of my budget 
range. That’s partly why i have abandoned PT and now work exclusively in Logic.

And don’t forget the control surface you must have, which in Sweden are a five 
figure number if you want something that’s good and that can take care of all

Hi,
Has anyone used the Steinberg UR44 or the Roland Quadcapture and what are your 
comments about those. Do any of those have an accessible control panel for the 
Mac?
I would like to be able to use an interface with at least 3 mike in which means 
the Ur44 but if the QuadCapture is more accessible then so be it.
Turns out i can’t use my old projectmix in my current setup at least that’s

Hello good people on both lists.
Firstly i’m sorry for the cross post but as it pertains to both lists i thought 
it best to post to both lists.
I currently run Protools v11.3 with no problems, however v12 is now out and 
when the next major upgrade comes, i’ve heard a rumor about the Digi003 
possibly not being supported by it,which leads me to wonder should i take the 
plunge, sell off my Digi003 while there’s still time and try learning logic? 
I’ve heard varying stories about how accessible Logic is. It’s apparently got a 
truckload of soft synths and the Drummer sounds cool to me but is the learning 
curve worth the struggle? Much of the reason why i ask is that getting a new 
control surface that is as good as the Digi003 is is way out of the question 
for me with my budget so just wondering what to do.
Thanks for taking the time to read this question that maybe just silly but if 
anyone wants to give advise i’d be grateful.

 Hi Krister,
 
 Beat detective is used for things like generating bar|beat markers to an 
 existing drum track or to separate clips based on transients in drum 
 track. The Clips can then be quantized to the bar|beat grid. I've used 
 Beat Detective only a few times but many years ago. It has recently become 
 more accessible and, yes, you can use it although it'll take some trial 
 and error. With the scope of its capabilities comes a learning curve best 
 attacked by reading the pages devoted to it in the Reference Guide. The 
 concepts are essentially simple but their implementations depend upon what 
 the end result needs to be. In other words, if you're trying to match a 
 tempo map to existing drums, it requires a particular approach and if 
 you're trying to slice up a drum performance to match an existing tempo, 
 it takes a slightly different approach. There are elements that define how 
 the existing audio is categorized in subdivisions and how sensitive the 
 detection will be for the analysis. There are visual markers that help a 
 sighted user determine the desired level of sensitivity which makes it a 
 little more difficult for a blind user but that's where the 
 experimentation comes in.
 
 As I said, I've used it in the past but the kind of music I record doesn't 
 call for Beat detective. The music I record is very much not on the grid. 
 If you're doing dance music or hip-hop then it'll be more useful. Keep in 
 mind that anything Beat Detective does, you can do manually. Beat 
 detective is just a tool to make the job easier and less time-consuming. 
 If it's the tool you need to use, then it's worth learning its ins and 
 outs.
 
 HTH,
 
 Slau

 Anyways what i was about to ask is can a blind person use the so called 
 beat detective and what do you do with it? Is it for imported tracks or 
 such?

Putting up Pro tools Presets on Protools with speech

2015-05-21 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi folks,
I have some presets that i want to share and i thought i would put them up on 
the repository at Protools with speech, but i wonder how i would go about doing 
this?
The presets i have right now are for Arturia Cs80V, Izotope Nectar Production 
suite 2 and XLN audio Addictive keys Electric grand which is about the best 
virtual Yamaha CP70/80 i’ve heard.
So if i could get some info about how to put these presets up on Protools with 
speech i’d be grateful.
Thanks,
/Krister

I really should know this but - question about nudging

2015-05-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
I really should know this so please excuse me for asking, but when i select 
something and want to nudge the selection further back, can I with a short cut 
key get to the end of the selection in order to nudge that part? You see I have 
selected a part of the beginning of a song that i simply want to cut out, and 
when i try nudging the selection so that it ends a little bit earlier than 
where i put the marker i only get to the position where the marker is and i 
can’t nudge it back any more than that, if you see what i mean. Is there any 
particular edit mode i need to be in for this to work?

Just so i’m sure i don’t misunderstand anything: In Pro tools 11.3 if i want to

To those who have a Digi003, getting into the plug-in parameter editings

2015-04-29 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi everyone.
I have a Digi003 and a protools 11.3 and some soft synths that i want to 
manipulate using the control surface.
I know a little bit about how to go into where i can choose what to edit, like 
instruments, effects etc, but here comes the tricky part: When in the area 
where you can choose what to edit, in the manual for the Digi003 it says that 
to enter the editing pages for a certain plugin you have to press the ”select” 
button under the name of the instrument or effect you want to edit. Now this 
works very well for a sighted person, but how do you knowledgeable folks go 
about when you select instrument or effect to edit if you can’t see? Is there 
some kind of system for it?I ask because there’s no sighted help around for me 
for a while so if there’s by any chance some kind of logic behind this that 
makes it doable for a totally blind person to do this i’d appreciate very much 
an answer to that.

 PT isn't great

And here comes the stupid question of the decade, what’s sequencing and how

assume it’s not the same nowadays. Has anyone done some tutorial about 
sequencing from a blindness perspective? Mainstream tutorials are well and

Re: an explanation of playlist lanes with VoiceOver

2015-03-21 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi Slau,
Are these lanes something we could ask the developers to work better for 
example in the upcoming PT 12?
/Krister

 21 mar 2015 kl. 19:39 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com:
 
 The other day, HF brought up the subject of using playlist lanes and that it 
 didn't seem to work well with voiceOver. I've looked into it further and, 
 while 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 Shift-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.
 
 Slau

ask this: Is the menus where you select presets a protools or a plugin

 16 mar 2015 kl. 15:41 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com:
 
 In a couple of weeks, I'm going to have a unique opportunity to sit down with 
 a programmer to work on some accessibility issues in Pro Tools. Under the 
 circumstances of my trip, Avid has allowed for this meeting to be scheduled 
 barring any last minute crisis with the release of Pro Tools 12. This will be 
 largely driven by bug submissions already within the beta system but I wanted 
 to get a sense of what the user base is focused on day to day. My goal is to 
 address quality-of-life issues that affect the use of Pro Tools with 
 VoiceOver. For example, the way the inserts and, in particular, sends are 
 displayed is simply awful. This needs to be overhauled. There are a number of 
 such issues that can hopefully be taken care of in one marathon session of 
 tweaks.
 
 I have a clear idea of what I personally think should be addressed but I 
 thought I'd take the temperature of the community. What I'm asking of the 
 list is for people to enumerate 3 to 5 things that most affect their 
 productivity and would like to see improved. Now, I don't mean for people to 
 suggest a different method for importing files to an existing track. That's a 
 bigger fish to fry and the subject of a longer term solution. These are, as I 
 said, quality-of-life issues that can be addressed quickly. Also, don't bring 
 up issues in version 10. We're talking existing issues in version 11. Give me 
 your top 3 or top 5 items and we'll see which seem to reveal themselves as 
 the biggest concerns. The sooner you get those to me, the sooner I can 
 prepare.
 
 Thanks,

my part it would be good to have both speech and click and to be able to toggle 
whether you would like speech, click or both.

 Hi folks.
 
 I'm in touch with the guy behind Talking Tuner and other instrument tuning 
 apps.  I've asked him if it would be possible to include an audible tuning 
 feature which clicks slower or faster, as you approach or move away from the 
 target pitch while tuning.  In other words, very slow or no clicking would be 
 very much in tune and the clicking speeds up as you get more out of tune.
 A similar feature can be found in the Chromatia Software Tuner for the PC, 
 from FMJ Software.
 
 So, would people be interested in this, as in, actually buy an app which 
 contained this feature?  I have no idea if he's thinking of incporporating 
 this into Talking Tuner, or developing a separate app.  Personally, I think 
 it would be fine as a new feature for Talking Tuner, since that app is 
 already very simple.
 
 He's more interested in this idea than say, a tone generator, since there are 
 already lots of tone generating apps out there.
 
 Let me know if you would actually buy this app or be interested in it as a 
 feature if you already own Talking Tuner.
 
 Thanks
 Chris

Is there a tutorial on how to work with loops in Pro tools for the blind?

2015-03-04 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
I’m just wondering if there may be a tutorial for working with loops in 
Protools from a blindness perspective? I feel there’s so much i don’t 
understand when it comes to building especially drum tracks, and rather than 
pestering this list with my stupid questions i’d like to know if there’s some 
place i could read up on this.

Hi it sounds very interesting. Maybe one could make drum tracks in Logic if i 
can understand the drummer and then import it into Protools somehow, would that 
work or would it be overkill?

 Hi, Logic has a very nice Drummer for creating drum tracks, and loops are  
 easy to use.  The built-in sounds aren't bad either.  You'll have the same 
 issue with most third-party Synths as with Protools, you'll need to have 
 Presets created; parameters if they show up in Protools they'll show up in 
 Logic. Editing of MIDI events currently isn't accessible.

 You're probably better off buying strike, or buying logic pro X in order to

indications i’ve gotten tell me i should stick with the 003 which is fine by 
me, i just wondered out of curiosity.

 Functionally there is not a whole lot different  between the two IMO. One 
 thing I can think of off the top is that from what I remember the Project 
 doesn't have a scrub/jog wheel and the 003 has 2 headphone outs both with 
 independent volume knobs. I think that the 003 has a better set of converters 
 and preamps, but it may not even be noticeable in the bigger picture. One 
 other thing, some people like the build quality of the 003 much better and 
 some extremely dislike the knobs on the Project. If you can find them for the 
 same price I would go with the 003, but that seems unlikely.

you can select portions of files by shift left- and shift right arrows. It’s 
been a while since i was dealing with TwistedWave now so i don’t remember the 
keyboard shortcuts, but there are some listed in the help file and others i got 
from writing to the support.
Hope that helps.

Hi there,
Anyone happen to have the presets for the Nectar Production suite? It’s 
Izotopes take on vocal processing. If i could or had access to sighted help, 
i’d try making them myself and contribute but as it stands now, all i can do is 
ask politely for them.

Re: Evaluating AAX Plug-Ins for Accessibility

2014-11-07 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi there, i think this sounds really great. When we say all user controlable 
parameters does that include editing of drum patterns and/or step sequenser 
parameters and patterns as well? How would we rate those plugins whos 
sequensers etc can’t be manipulated? Example of this would be Strike, Boom, (if 
i’m wrong here please correct me) Arturia Jupiter8v and CS80V.
Thanks

 Dear Google Accessibility Discussion Group Members:
 
  
 Avid has recently enjoyed the opportunity to work with visually impaired 
 audio professionals  to improve VoiceOver support for Pro Tools, and we want 
 to keep these improvements coming. Just as importantly, we want to  encourage 
 our Connectivity Partners (our new collective name for all third party 
 technology developers) to follow suit.  In working with this team, we drafted 
 a plug-In  accessibility rating system that  we will soon finalize and share 
 with third parties.   It is our hope that the blind user community will come 
 to score AAX  plug-ins based on this framework or something similar.   Here 
 is the working rating system, for which you are welcome to provide input:
 
  
 
 AAX  plug-in is rated  from 1 to 5 with 5 representing “strong agreement” for 
 the following criteria:
 
  
 
 1.   Plug-in can be installed and its license authorized without sighted 
 assistance.
 
 2.   Plug-in can be registered without sighted assistance
 
 3.   Plug-in supports Pro Tools standard methodology for save/load of 
 presets or employs a proprietary substitute that supports VoiceOver
 
 4.   All user-controllable parameters are speakable with VoiceOver
 
 5.   Plug-in contains accurate page tables for Avid control surfaces 
 compatible with Pro Tools 11 or higher
 
 6.   Connectivity  Partner makes customer-facing statement in support of 
 accessibility and provides contact information for related inquiries.
 
  
 
 So, let us know what you think, and together, we can make accessibility a 
 “first class citizen” on the roadmaps of as many Connectivity Partners as 
 possible.
 
  
 
 Gratefully,
 
  
 
 Ed Gray

 I recommend Twisted wave. It's fully accessible, as there is hardly a window 
 UI to speak of. Everything is done with the keyboard and the program is small 
 and lightning fast. Everything you'd need to do in forge is in twisted wave, 
 along with a batch processor, which is awesome.
 
 I used to use Amadeus Pro, but once I picked up Twisted Wave, I found this 
 app to be much faster.
 
 It's about the same price as forge for mac, but it's way speedier.

Re: here are Izotope RX4 presets in avid format

2014-10-20 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
Speaking of Izotope plugins, has anyone had a stab at trying to make the 
presets for Nectar 2 production suite into Protools format?
/Krister

 20 okt 2014 kl. 20:44 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com:
 
 Hey Scott,
 
 RX4 is very accessible as an AAX plug-in, apart from the presets which, of 
 course, are now in Avid format in those folders I posted. The stand-alone 
 version is very accessible from a processing point of view. Using the 
 selection features in the stand-alone version is awkward at best. It's better 
 to import entire regions for processing rather than trying to select ranges. 
 Again, apart from that, the parameters and functionality are very accessible. 
 RX3 and rX4 are stunning in their efficacy at restoration and general utility.
 
 The spectrogram, of course, is not accessible because it's like trying to 
 click on an element in a painting. It just ain't gonna happen for a blind 
 person. However, in the Advanced version, there's some provision for 
 deconstructing elements automatically and you can audition the elements. 
 Which means that you can possibly identify an element like a chair squeak or 
 car horn and essentially remove it or attenuate it to the point where it is 
 no longer audible.
 
 To me, the price of admission was justified when I was able to remove 
 clipping from an old digital recording. Before this, it was unheard of to 
 remove distortion from a stereo recording. RX did it with flying colors. My 
 jaw absolutely dropped and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
 
 RX is truly worth all the praise it's gotten in recent years.

Re: How to quickly move through audio

Hey Slau, speaking of moving in a project, can you nudge a selection from the

very good but i didn't find anything about nudging selections from the control

 13 okt 2014 kl. 00:24 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com:
 
 Hi David,
 
 You can use asterisk on the num pad to go to anywhere in the timeline. 
 Remember to type in the correct format (i.e. bars/beats, minutes/seconds. 
 etc.). The decimal will advance you to the next field. You don't need to type 
 the entire number. For example, Asterisk, 3, Enter will take you to 3 
 minutes. When entering seconds, however, if you want 30 seconds, you have to 
 type 30 and not just 3. Numbers appear to enter from the right column in each 
 field. You can press Enter on the num pad after entering the values. It's not 
 necessary to press Return on the qwerty keyboard. In some cases, there's a 
 distinction between the two keys' functionality but not in this case.
 
 There's another way to jump around the timeline and it involves relative 
 position as opposed to absolute position. If you want to jump forward by 3 
 minutes, regardless of where you are in the timeline, you can add the plus 
 key in front of the numbers to move forward by the entered amount or the 
 minus key to move backward by the entered amount. So, for example, let's say 
 you were at 1:45 in the timeline but you didn't necessarily know or care what 
 the exact point was but you knew that you wanted to jump forward by 2 
 minutes. You would press the asterisk, then plus, then 2 and, finally Enter. 
 You would then be at 3:45. To move backwards, press asterisk, then minus, 
 then the amount by which you wish to move backwards in the timeline.
 
 All of the above commands can be issued while the transport is engaged so you 
 can very quickly jump around the session while it's playing.
 
 You can set a custom fast forward/rewind speed in the Preferences window 
 under the Operations tab.
 
 Hope that helps,
 
 Slau

Problem when nudging or where is the plus key

2014-10-05 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hello again.
Ok, so i listen to the Protools with speech tutorial and they’re talking about 
making markers, so i think hmm, that sounds easy enough let’s try. I go into 
pro tools and try to precition edit to a point where i can put a first marker 
down and guess what? i can’t nudge a single tick. Pressing plus or minus on the 
numeric key pad does nothing regardless of which mode i’m in and pressing minus 
or plus on the big keyboard yealds just the same results or non-results as it 
were.
There’s a check box in the edit windows cursor cluster called ”insertion 
follows playback”, i uncheck that and lo and behold, the minus key works but 
not the plus key. This means that Protools doesn’t actually want the character 
”+” but rather the position the plus key is at, only thing is that i don’t know 
where the plus key is located on an American or english keyboard. The 
scandinavian keyboards have a couple more keys on them for our special 
characters which means that the layout is somewhat different, so on our 
keyboards the plus key is to the right of the zero key but i wonder if it is 
the same on english/american keyboards or if the plus key is located elsewhere 
or if i’m doing anything else wrong?
I also wonder if it is possible to nudge the cursor from the Digi003? The 
manual i thought at least wasn’t very specific on this.
Thanks for any help.

2014-10-05 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi, As usual a very good explanation. It looks like when Insertion follows 
playback is enabled, i can not hear what i have selected is that so? and as i 
said earlier it seems as the numeric minus and plus keys do nothing on my 
keyboard however that can be something i have overlooked. Time to consult the 
shortcut guide methinks.
/Krister

 5 okt 2014 kl. 16:27 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com:
 
 Hi Krister,
 
 First, to learn which is the plus key, get into Keyboard Help mode with 
 Control-Option-k. Press any key on the keyboard to hear its name. This will 
 help identify keys on unknown keyboards. Press Escape to stop keyboard help.
 
 You need an insertion point to be able to nudge because, by definition, the 
 shortcut is nudging the insertion point. Make sure you have linked the edit 
 selection and track selection within the menus. The plus or minus key will 
 nudge the insertion point by the nudge value. If you want to use the defaults 
 for nudge value, simply navigate to the Grid/Nudge cluster and click and 
 select a value from the pop-up menu. You can cycle up and down through the 
 default values with Command-Option-plus or minus. Be aware that there's a 
 keyboard shortcut conflict if you're using screen magnification.
 
 You can also nudge regions with plus or minus by the nudge value when regions 
 are selected. Be aware that, if you select a region while insertion follows 
 playback is enabled and you press the space bar to confirm your selection, 
 you will lose the selection because the insertion will immediately start 
 following the playback. 99% of the time I do not have the insertion following 
 playback. Some people like the behavior of the insertion following playback 
 so that, when the transport stops, the playback continues from that spot. 
 Whenever the transport is engaged and you're about to stop playback and you 
 know you want to start again from there, simply press the down arrow once 
 before stopping the transport and the Start field will populate with the 
 counter value at the time of the down arrow press.
 
 One last thing, in order for the numeric entry and nudging from the numeric 
 key pad to work, the Edit window needs to be open. It doesn't have to be the 
 frontmost window but it does at least have to be open.
 
 Hope that helps,
 
 Slau

 Hi Krister,
 
 One way to confirm a selection is to simply play it by hitting the space bar. 
 This naturally works well for relatively short regions. If you're selecting a 
 minute-long region, it's better to play only a couple of seconds to confirm 
 the beginning of the region but then perhaps look at the Length field to 
 confirm that, indeed, there is a selection. When insertion is following 
 playback, it's certainly possible to select a region but that selection will 
 instantly turn to a playback cursor when you press the space bar or otherwise 
 engage the transport. I personally recommend not using Insertion Follows 
 Playback unless you know you're going to be doing a lot of stopping and 
 continuing of playback and you're not necessarily going to do much editing. 
 As I mentioned previously, 99% of the time, I'm not having the insertion 
 follow playback and I'm only sharing that in the interest of what I 
 personally feel to be best practices.
 
 Are you using an Apple keyboard? It really should work with no problems. Make 
 sure you're not using Num Pad Commander with VoiceOver. That will take over 
 the functionality of the num pad so Pro tools won't see the commands.

 Hi, As usual a very good explanation. It looks like when Insertion follows 
 playback is enabled, i can not hear what i have selected is that so? and as 
 i said earlier it seems as the numeric minus and plus keys do nothing on my 
 keyboard however that can be something i have overlooked. Time to consult 
 the shortcut guide methinks.

 Hi Krister,
 
 First, to learn which is the plus key, get into Keyboard Help mode with 
 Control-Option-k. Press any key on the keyboard to hear its name. This will 
 help identify keys on unknown keyboards. Press Escape to stop keyboard help.
 
 You need an insertion point to be able to nudge because, by definition, the 
 shortcut is nudging the insertion point. Make sure you have linked the edit 
 selection and track selection within the menus. The plus or minus key will 
 nudge the insertion point by the nudge value. If you want to use the 
 defaults for nudge value, simply navigate to the Grid/Nudge cluster and 
 click and select a value from the pop-up menu. You can cycle up and down 
 through the default values with Command-Option-plus or minus. Be aware that 
 there's a keyboard shortcut conflict if you're using screen magnification.
 
 You can also nudge regions with plus or minus by the nudge value when 
 regions are selected. Be aware that, if you select a region while 
 insertion follows playback is enabled and you press the space bar to 
 confirm your selection, you will lose the selection because the insertion 
 will immediately start following the playback. 99% of the time I do not 
 have the insertion following playback. Some people like the behavior of the 
 insertion following playback so that, when the transport stops, the 
 playback continues from that spot. Whenever the transport is engaged and 
 you're about to stop playback and you know you want to start again from 
 there, simply press the down arrow once before stopping the transport and 
 the Start field will populate with the counter value at the time of the 
 down arrow press.
 
 One last thing, in order for the numeric entry and nudging from the numeric 
 key pad to work, the Edit window needs to be open. It doesn't have to be 
 the frontmost window but it does at least have to be open.
 
 Hope that helps,
 
 Slau

 Ok, so i listen to the Protools with speech tutorial and they're talking 
 about making markers, so i think hmm, that sounds easy enough let's try. I 
 go into pro tools and try to precition edit to a point where i can put a 
 first marker down and guess what? i can't nudge a single tick. Pressing 
 plus or minus on the numeric key pad does nothing regardless of which mode

 There's a check box in the edit windows cursor cluster called insertion

Hi, Trust me to come up with stupid questions to which there probably are very 
easy answers, but anyways, what are the differences between grouping and sub

you submix, you do it to an auxiliary track, as i understand it.

 Hi Brian,
 
 There are three types of groups: edit groups, mix groups and combination 
 edit/mix groups. An edit group will not affect volume changes, only edits. A 
 Mix group will affect volume only and not edits on the grouped tracks. 
 Obviously, combination edit/mix groups do both. Make sure you've defined the 
 group as a mix or edit/mix group and, when you make volume changes to any of 
 the grouped tracks, all faders in that group will follow your fader move.

 Hi Krister,
 
 Both scenarios essentially achieve the same results. By submixing, you're 
 adding an extra track. While that usually isn't necessarily a problem, some 
 people want to simply have as little a track count as possible. One other 
 consequence of submixing to an auxiliary track is that, when you solo that 
 auxiliary input, you don't hear anything because, by soloing, all other 
 tracks are temporarily muted. This includes the tracks that are feeding the 
 auxiliary inputs. Both approaches are perfectly viable, however, and either 
 method pretty much does the same thing..

 I sat down and started trying to write a concise explanation of edit modes 
 and then I quickly realized that, if it was going to be explained clearly, 
 the best way to do it would be to demonstrate it. In the PT reference Guide, 
 there are diagrams that illustrate what's happening in each mode and, as we 
 all know, a picture's worth a thousand words. So, rather than typing several 
 thousand words, I figured it's more efficient to record a demonstration of 
 the behavior in edit modes. I won't have an opportunity to do that for a few 
 days but will make an attempt as soon as I can.

 I did manage to get something loaded from the ivory II library into the aax

 some presets using the windows version when it was RTAS and then transported
 them to the mac, which I've done with some other plugs too like the Garitan
 stuff and spectrasonics Trilion, but Garitan has not gone AAX yet and I
 don't know if they ever will.  I'll check into the Ivory ssituation again
 but my macbook pro decided to blow out either a memory chip or the logic
 board itself, it just gives 3 beeps repeatedly when turned on which
 supposedly indicates one of those two scenarios, so I guess I need to go to
 the apple store down here and see what's up.  I have some problems with a

 Good to know for the Windows users on the list. I don't use Windows. The
 stand-alone version comes in handy for those who want a quick piano without
 booting up a DAW. Of course, there are plenty of good sounding instruments
 out there for such a quick task. Ultimately, however, since most people
 looking for the ultimate piano are looking for it for recording purposes,
 the dAW will inevitably come into the picture and, since the AAX version is
 accessible, it seems the way to go. That said, for those looking for
 hardware solutions, the Roland Integra 7 has a fabulous set of pianos among
 other instruments in their Super Natural series. Sometimes having the module
 is a great thing, a scenario that is becoming more and more rare these days,
 sadly.
 
 Best,

 Subject: Synthogy Ivory II Grand Pianos and AAX
 
 I know there was some mention of Ivory Grand Pianos on the list but I 
 suspect it might have been before the AAX version came out. I attended the 
 NAMM show at the time when Ivory was first  introduced. The stand-alone 
 version seemed quite accessible. Of course, at the time, Pro Tools wasn't 
 accessible so the whole virtual piano thing wasn't something that concerned 
 me a great deal. Now that Synthogy put out an AAX version of the plug-in, I 
 thought I'd take a chance and check it out.
 
 The plug-in is fully accessible in Pro Tools. Ironically, now the 
 stand-alone version seems not to be accessible although I can't confirm that 
 categorically. There might be an initial screen that's preventing me from 
 diving in deeper. I'll give an update on that if I have any success. 
 Concerning the AAX plug-in, as expected, the library preset browser is not 
 visible but, of course, those presets can be called up with sighted 
 assistance and saved as plug-in presets. Someone posted the original Ivory 
 presets a while ago and those are backwards compatible but there are a bunch 
 of new presets for Ivory II. I'll share those when I have them ready.
 
 For those unfamiliar with Ivory II, it consists of three main piano models: 
 a Bosendorfer Imperial, a German Steinway and a Yamaha C7. Each of the 
 pianos has several versions differing in dynamics resolution. The highest 
 values have the highest levels of dynamics. Parameters such as sympathetic 
 resonance, pedal noise, stick height, stereo perspective, among other 
 parameters can be saved into presets. Regardless of preset, any of the 
 parameters can be easily changed. Switching between pianos causes the 
 parameters to reset so that's where presets come in handy for recalling 
 favorite settings.
 
 There's a new American Steinway D that is spectacular and can either be 
 added to the Ivory II Grand Pianos library or used stand-alone or as its own 
 AAX plug-in. I've gone through a bunch of virtual pianos and many are really 
 quite good but ivory is the one by which all others are judged and it is 
 truly spectacular. Since it's a streaming instrument, an external drive is 
 pretty much a requirement and an SSD would be even more desirable. SSD 
 drives costing what

 KM is certainly capable of performing the click but you'd have to know where

 of those proprietary browsers don't use the Apple framework. It might be

 using QK scripts but it isn't worth the time because loading each set will 
 take 2 minutes and you can't change any parameters unless you create more 
 scripts which in tern will take more loading time for each element you want 
 to change. They also killed flip fader mode in this version so when that

Digi003 issue solved and a cool synth that's accessible

2014-09-17 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi good people.
Yes indeed i’ve solved the problem of the Digi003 triggering sounds while 
touching faders and knobs. The solution is to set the Midi input source to a 
specific controler such as a midi keyboard and not to have it set to all as it 
is by default. On your instrument track you do this in the view that says 
”instrument”at the left end of the track. I set the input to my midi keyboard 
and this worked and i was able to set parameters of the plugin with the 003, 
thereby learning the usefullness of ”flip” mode. I also learned that the 
Arturia Jupiter8V is quite accessible and so is the Arturia Cs80V and probably 
their other classic analog synths. I expect there are some things in the synth 
that won’t work, as in the Jupiter8v-s case the step sequenser though i can’t 
be sure about this. The presets unfortunately as is often the case with third 
party plugins do not work but manipulating a sound does seem to work and that’s 
cool.

Hi and thanks so much. Yeah, the flip mode is really helpful when dealing with 
lots of settings in plugs and the like. I'm not sure though how i actually 
managed to get into the settings screen in the first place.:-) I know i pressed 
the insert button above the channel strip on the 003 then came the fun part 
when i pressed select buttons all over the place and suddenly and unexpectedly 
sorta managed to get the parameters view. In the manual it said to press the 
select button under the plugin name, not sure where that was. Anyways, it 
worked.:-)

 I had a similar problem where the digi 003 buttons were triggering my sounds 
 in plug-ins such as superior drummer, trillion etc. This is what I did to fix 
 my problem. Not sure if it'll work for yours but give it a try and see.
 
 Go to menu, control-option-M
 Arrow right to set up
 Arrow down to midi sub menu
 arrow right and go to the bottom of four items
 The bottom one will be imput devices, hit enter.
 You'll then have two choices of checking or unchecking. the first is port 1 
 and the latter is port 3.
 Uncheck port 3 and then arrow down to ok.
 This fixed my problem. If it doesn't fix yours you can repeat the above steps 
 and recheck port 3.
 Hope this helps!
 
 Let me know if that worked.

 Hi Krister,
 
 Like many of the people who came before you down this path of learning

 from time to time to verify the behavior that you're experiencing. While 
 you have that assistance, you'll have to experiment and learn the 
 behavior that is specific to your system, your setup, etc. Yes, there are 
 certain things that translate easily from user to user but, ultimately, 
 everybody's situation can be a little different and it is precisely there 
 that one little tiny thing can make all the difference in the world. 
 Don't be discouraged, you can experiment on your own but it's likely that 
 you will run into obstacles you won't understand without some sighted 
 confirmation. It's good to go it alone to learn where the problem areas 
 occur and then get a little help to identify exactly what's going on, 
 document it and tackle things a little bit at a time.

 Hi there again.
 I was trying to experiment with changing plugin parameters with my

 Digi003 is sending midi events that trigger sounds in my plugins,

 view of my instrument track, i can't operate the plugin from the 003, 
 something that probably is just right, so how on  Gods green earthe do i

Re: [Bulk] Having an odd problem with my Digi003

2014-09-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi, this fixed the problem partly. No sounds were triggered in the midi plugin, 
however, parameters couldn't be changed in the plugin using the 003, so i'm 
basically back to square one. The strange thing with all this is that in for 
example Arturia Cs80V i don't have any problems with sounds being triggerd, 
however in Arturia Jupiter8v the problem is there. Likewise in Addictive drums, 
the problem is there but in Addictive keys Electric grand it's not there. It's 
odd and as i think i said before, all the people in the different music stores 
that i've spoken to are just as confused as i am.

 Hi Krister
 
 I had a similar problem where the digi 003 buttons were triggering my sounds 
 in plug-ins such as superior drummer, trillion etc. This is what I did to fix 
 my problem. Not sure if it'll work for yours but give it a try and see.
 
 Go to menu, control-option-M
 Arrow right to set up
 Arrow down to midi sub menu
 arrow right and go to the bottom of four items
 The bottom one will be imput devices, hit enter.
 You'll then have two choices of checking or unchecking. the first is port 1 
 and the latter is port 3.
 Uncheck port 3 and then arrow down to ok.
 This fixed my problem. If it doesn't fix yours you can repeat the above steps 
 and recheck port 3.
 Hope this helps!
 
 Let me know if that worked.

Ok, thanks for that explanation. In one of those modes, i think it was input 
only i heard the input while transport was stopped but as soon as i recorded, 
nothing was monitored. I have to experiment a bit with the setting and see 
what'll happen when i do.
Once again thanks for the explanation.

 14 sep 2014 kl. 12:31 skrev Scott Chesworth scottcheswo...@gmail.com:
 
 Hey Krister,
 
 Quick explanation of that monitoring toggle would be that if the track
 is set to input only monitoring, you're only ever going to hear the
 input until you choose otherwise by unarming the track. Auto input
 monitoring is Pro Tools being a bit smarter, in that it'll pipe
 through the input whenever the transport is stopped or you start
 recording, but switches to playing what's been recorded on the track
 when you want to listen back, so it saves you the trouble of unarming.
 In most instances, that setting is the one that makes most sense.

 The problem might be related to the track input settings. Most of the time, 
 Auto Input monitoring is used to hear recorded material so it's appropriate 
 if you're punching in so you can hear previous material and then monitor 
 input while recording. Otherwise, Input monitoring is good if you only want 
 to hear live input. In other words, if you're set to Input monitoring, you 
 won't hear what was recorded as long as you're still in Input monitoring

Good analog polyphonic synth plugin for PT11?

2014-09-12 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi there,
Am thinking of buying myself a plugin that can give me analog synth sounds for 
pads and leads. I was thinking about Arturias Jupiter 8 V but am not sure how 
well it will work under Protools 11. Any suggestions for a similar plugin as 
the Jupiter8v or do you have any other suggestions for a good analog synth?

A question about Midi merging.

2014-09-11 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi there.
I’m right now trying to make a drum track and i’ve decided to make it in 2 
parts, I’ve done the symbals part and now i want to midi merge the drums part. 
Now i wonder one thing, can i undo/delete a part of a track that is midi merged 
or do i have to close the session and start from scratch? I’ve tried to read up 
on it in the reference manual but as good as it is, i can’t find a streight 
answer to this, maybe it’s because there are none i don’t know. Any answers are 
greatly appreciated.

Re: selecting audio

2014-09-04 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Ahem, i know i just started with PT but isn't there a way that you can put a 
memory location at the beginning of a selection and when you have scrubbed to 
where you want to end the selection you can drop another memory location then 
you could select to previous marker? Have forgotten the shortcut keys now, but 
i think you catch the drift.

 trim to start or, what I prefer, Option-Shift-Tab to select to the previous

 For whichever track or tracks are selected, hit Return then 
 Shift-Option-Return to select an entire track. A sighted user can triple 
 click on the timeline to select the entire track but, with key commands, 
 you have to use Return then Shift-Option-Return.
 
 Also, I'm not sure why you're referring to the transport being engaged to 
 use the start and end field entry. The transport doesn't have to be engaged 
 at all for you to enter values. The up and down arrows will only work to 
 make a selection when the transport is engaged.

Re: selecting audio

2014-09-04 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi i stand corrected here. I had totally forgot the commands to go to region 
boundaries and in some cases that might actually be better.
/Krister

 4 sep 2014 kl. 20:35 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com:
 
 Hi Krister,
 
 You can certainly use memory locations to do that but, if you're going to cut 
 or delete anyway, splitting regions is just as effective and you don't end up 
 with memory locations left over. Of course, in the case where there are 
 multiple region boundaries in between the start of the section and the end of 
 the section, memory locations can come in handy. Even then, it's possible to 
 select multiple regions with the Shift modifier. In other words, Control-Tab 
 will select the next region and Control-Shift-Tab will add the following 
 region to the selection. You can do this multiple times to select multiple 
 regions. The same holds true in reverse, although you'd have to pass through 
 the command because the Pro Tools shortcut for selecting previous regions is 
 Control-Option-Tab which is, of course, the VoiceOver command for ignoring 
 the next key press. Therefore, pressing Control-Option-Tab twice will perform 
 the action. After that, you'd have to pass through the subsequent 
 Control-Option-Shift-Tab. For one or two regions, it's OK but, if you need to 
 select many regions moving backward in the timeline, knowing the start point 
 or selecting to a memory location probably works better.

Any Strike 2 users out there had this happen?

2014-09-03 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hello again and please forgive me for pestering you yet again. I’m having a 
somewhat strange issue here: I’m trying to do a drum track with Strike as my 
plugin and suddenly my Digi003 takes over the adjustment of various parameters 
that normally only should be adjustable when in plugin adjustment modes, that 
is moving faters change equalizing, volume, if hihat should be open or closed 
and so on and no matter what i do it looks as the Digi003 will not relinquish 
these controls. Furthermore when i try to do a drum track with Addictive drums 
as my plugin of choice various drum sounds get assigned to various buttons of 
the digi003 such as the control buttons etc. What could possibly be wrong here?

2014-09-02 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hello,
I have encountered a problem that was discussed here earlier. As i wasn’t doing 
anything back then in PT i wasn’t concerned with the problem in question, now i 
am though. When i try to do a recording in PT 11 and change the value of a 
plugin, as soon as i start recording the plugin i work with at the moment 
defaults back to its earlier value. Now as i said i know this has been 
discussed here, only i can not find the thread, because i seem to remember 
there was a workaround for this particular thing, only i can for the life of me 
not remember what. Thankful for any hints that can be provided.

 Hi Krister,
 Save your self the guesswork and save them while you have the plugin up in PT.
 Just make sure to use the same naming of folders  presets and then you can 
 share them with other pt users and know with out a doubt! YMMV
 That they will work on there system.
 If you half to, contact the Nectar support teem and do a remote teem viewer 
 session and have them or somebody sighted click on the load button and do 
 each one just like most of us have been doing for a while! :)
 Also take some time and look at the stock pt plugin presets and how they are

 Thats what I've been doing with waves for the past several years because a

 Most plug ins store their preset files ina n XML format. In fact some of te 
 more nerdier among us use in accessible plug ins by opening up those xml 
 files changing values and saving it out as  the same name as the default 
 preset for that plug in, so when it loads it will load taht preset. I 
 haven't used Nectar alot in pro tools yet, but i know it doesn't show its 
 presets in the reaper default drop down menu for presets., so i assume its 
 teh same for pro tools. If you navigate around through the Nectar window 
 you should find a place in there where the presets are displayed and you 
 can arrow through them. But yeah, if you try to load the xml files through 
 the default Pro TOols or Reaper presets dialog in the plug in it probably 
 wont reconize the xml file as i believe the DAW's may store them in their

 Hi Krister,
 
 Yes, the plug-in parameters appear across the encoder knobs and buttons. The 
 bad news is, since they're on the control surface, it's not accessible to be 
 able to read which knob or button is controlling which parameter but but the 
 good news is that, once you've had sighted assistance to figure out the 
 parameters and take notes, you'll be able to access those parameters in the 
 future. Also, fader flip mode allows you to throw the control down to the 
 faders instead of the knobs and have a tactile sense of the parameter values.
 
 I think I've mentioned this before but, I initially read the Pro Tools 
 Reference Guide three times, the first time without understanding everything, 
 the second time while understanding a great deal more and finally, one more 
 time while sitting in front of the control surface with Pro Tools running and 
 trying the various steps outlined in the manual.
 
 BTW, here's something to try: with a plug-in opened and with the control 
 surface in plug-in mode, adjust the encoder knobs while monitoring the 
 parameter values in the plug-ins window with a VoiceOver hot spot. That way, 
 you can figure out, without sighted assistance, which encoder controls which 
 parameter. It'll be time-consuming initially but, once you've figured that 
 out, you'll know exactly which encoders to jump to when you want to adjust a 
 compressor's threshold or an EQ shelf.

 Most plug ins store their preset files ina n XML format. In fact some of te 
 more nerdier among us use in accessible plug ins by opening up those xml 
 files changing values and saving it out as  the same name as the default 
 preset for that plug in, so when it loads it will load taht preset. I haven't 
 used Nectar alot in pro tools yet, but i know it doesn't show its presets in 
 the reaper default drop down menu for presets., so i assume its teh same for 
 pro tools. If you navigate around through the Nectar window you should find a 
 place in there where the presets are displayed and you can arrow through 
 them. But yeah, if you try to load the xml files through the default Pro 
 TOols or Reaper presets dialog in the plug in it probably wont reconize the 
 xml file as i believe the DAW's may store them in their own format.

 Hello and sorry for being so frequent with asking questions. What i want to

 be to have someone sighted help me load the presets and then save them in a 
 format readable in the librarian menu of the plugins?

Re: question on nudging

2014-08-29 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
What's the difference anyways? Why would i use a midi track rather than an 
instrument track in any case?

 Actually, now, I'm even more! confused.  Did you use an instument track only, 
 or did you use a midi track, then route the midi data out through an 
 instrument track.

 Hello all,
 
 
 
 I have a midi track where I played a chord just a little early.  With midi,
 would I still use the plus and minus keys to move the chord forward and
 backwards in time by my set nudge value, or is there another way to nudge
 with midi?  I don't want to quantize the midi because I am playing with
 audio tracks that are drums and full band, so I don't want to quantize the
 midi.  Thanks for the help,

Nudge values

2014-08-28 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
Feeling utterly stupid for having to ask this, especially given that i have the 
Protools with speech tutorials where it should be mentioned somewhere how to do 
this only i can for the life of me not figure out where it’s mentioned. Anyways 
in this very good tutorial they have a nudge value of 50 ticks and i want to 
have that too, but i’ll be damned if i can remember where to set this up or 
rather i know where to set the nudge values up, but i’m not sure how to tell PT 
that i want my nudge value at 50 ticks. As a default the nudge value is at 
00:1:000, is that as i believe it is bars, beats and ticks or what gives there?

Working with the digi003 and Protools - a silly newbie question or two

2014-08-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hello, This may sound like a stupid question, which it is, sorry about that but 
i wanted to ask a couple things about the Digi003 control surface. Those who 
work with it, do you only record and mix from it and do the editing and that 
stuff on the computer itself or do you also do the editing from the surface? Do 
the buttons have multiple functions, like ”press this button and that will 
happen and press it again for something totally different to happen”? Is the 
Digi003 easy to work with without spoken feedback from it? I want to make the 
Digi003 accessible via the Surfacereader application for PC and Mac, but that 
can take a while and in the mean time i finally want to overcome my fears and 
start actually working with Pro tools and the Digi003 but i don’t know how easy 
or hard it is.
Thanks for any answer.

Re: OT: further findings about TwistedWave

2014-08-06 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Nope, home and end takes you to the beginning and end of the file respectively, 
at least that’s what the help says. And in IOs, the browsing may be good, but 
if you can’t select and edit portions of the sound that’s a deal breaker.
/Krister

 6 aug 2014 kl. 02:58 skrev Gordon Kent dbmu...@cybernex.net:
 
   I'm pretty sure that home and end already take you to the start 
 and end of a selection.  This is really a handy little app.  And as I said, 
 the browse feature in the iOS version is the best file transfer utility for 
 iOS I've come across.

 Subject: OT: further findings about TwistedWave
 
 Hi all,
 I got a really helpful mail this morning from Twistedwave support. Firstly 
 they seem open to accessibility concerns and said they would consider my 
 suggestions on scrubbing and other things for the future. Then they told me 
 about some undocumented keyboard shortcuts that can come in handy: You can 
 actually select small portions from the sound file using shift + left and 
 right arrows. Secondly you can scrub by shift+command clicking anywhere in 
 the wave form rather than having to locate the ruler that you drag in in 
 order to scrub. ”But the wave form isn’t visible” i hear you ask, and it is 
 true, however there’s an indicator or rather a text that tells you sample 
 rate, bit depth etc, go up from there with your physical mouse or track pad 
 until you hear ”name of project, window” where ”name of project” is the name 
 of your audio file and there is your wave form.
 Now to my own findings:
 It’s good if you turn cursor tracking off when playing with Twistedwave.
 You may also want to consider setting ”cursor moves back after playing” to 
 checked. That way the cursor seems to move back to the play head when you 
 stop playing and i think though i can’t be certain about this, that this 
 makes it easier to scrub.
 By default it looks like the wave form is very small so when you select, you 
 select in very long distances, so just like in all other wave editors, adjust 
 the zoom so the waveform gets bigger.
 The edit short cuts dialog isn’t a loser after all, it’s quite smart in fact. 
 The way the dialog works is like this: You go into the dialog for editing 
 shortcuts, then it tells you to select an item from the menu to edit its 
 short cuts. VO+m to the menu bar and then go to a menu and select the menu 
 item you want to edit just as you would if you wanted to choose something 
 from that menu. Now another dialog pops up asking you for the keyboard 
 shortcut. Enter the shortcut you want and the dialog will close and you’re in 
 the main window. Now here’s a little tricky bit, because the edit shortcuts 
 dialog stays open however it’s not in focus so whatever you do do not select 
 an item from a menu because then you will be asked for a new shortcut for 
 this item. Instead use the window chooser, vo+f2 twice in rapid succession 
 and you’ll be in the window chooser menu, go down the menu until you hear 
 ”edit shortcuts” and choose that item. Now you’ll be in the edit shortcuts 
 dialog again and you can ok the choices you’ve made or revert to default 
 short cuts or cancel the dialog alltogether.
 What i’d suggest you do is to set up a shortcut for going to start and end of 
 selections, those shortcuts will come in handy when you edit.
 Hope this makes any sense.
 Now here’s where i need your help guys: Could someone who works with 
 Twistedwave please help me explain to the devs in a technical way how to make 
 the wave form visible to VO? I don’t think you can make the wave form itself 
 visible so that you can interact with it and do fun stuff, although that 
 would be cool but one could do as they have done in some audio editors in IOS 
 where the wave form is, Voiceover says ”wave form”.
 As i said, i hope any of this made sense.

Re: OT: further findings about TwistedWave

2014-08-06 Thread Krister Ekstrom
For me, and this is for me personally for 2 reasons, one of which may even be a 
misunderstanding so let's begin with that:
1: Protools is first and foremost an environment for creating music in whilst 
TwistedWave seems to be some kind of a general purpose editor and even if this 
wasn't the case i still haven't come off the ground with pro tools which i 
think is scary, daunting and confusing, a sign that i'm getting old. The main 
reason now why i haven't come off the ground with PT is that i'm afraid to the 
point of panic, ahem no that was maybe overdoing it a little, but i'm scared 
for some reason to use my Digi003 without knowing what i do with it. I'm trying 
to make the 003 accessible with the Surface reader application, but it's slow 
going. Besides it's good to have many tools in your arsenal, right?
