Re: Protools11 shortcut problem
Well, first off, are you selecting the tracks from your track list table? Just hitting delete, or hitting command+A isn't enough. All that does is selects a portion of the session. You then have to also tell ProTools which tracks you're menipulating.

OT: A really really really quick question regarding a chord.
Guys, My music theory isn't that great, so I'm really hoping here that someone can help. I'm trying to teach a friend of mine the gospel hymn, In the Garden. We're doing it in the key of C mager. On the line that says, And the joy we share, as we terry there... on joy we, I'm on C mager, share, I'm going to e7, as we, then on terry, I'm going to F mager. Now, here's the question. on terry, that F major on keyboared consists of my left pinky on F above middle C, my left thumb on the C above that F. Then in the right hand, I'm just playing a straight out F cord, F A and C. but then, on the word there, I'm moving my left pinky to an F sharp, and my right thumb as well to an F sharp. So basically in the left hand is F shartp and C, then the right hand is on F sharp, A, and C. I know this isn't a diminished chord, so what would the name a this chord be? I wouldn't exactly call it a D7 would I? I know technically, it's a D7, but it's really not, being the root isn't in the base. Being the base is based around F sharp, not D. So would I just say d7/f#? (in other words, D7 over an F sharp base?) Or, is there a better way to define this chord? Again, I know this isn't really ProTools, but I hope someone out here with some music training can tell me what to call this thing. I won't keep this thread up on list, I swear, just answer my question, and I'll be done.

A thanks to Slau and others
Just wanted to thank everyone for their help yesterday with my issue regarding clipping and how to better set levels. Slau, I used the techniques that you outlined. I'll admit, it's a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm not use to recording initially at such a low impedance, but man! I did a track that way, then I raised the volume through a master fader, plus a very very slight bit of compression, and man! god almighty! what! a difference! I mean literally! Night! and day! I've never! heard myself sound so clean! and so crisp! I think guys that was a huge bit where I wasn't getting that crispness I've been looking for all these years when I kept saying even dating back to midi mag, about how it was just real muddy. Well, yeah, duh! Of corse it's gonna be! I mean, when you set yourself up to master and mix at the same time? Judice! Priest! No frickin wonder! I sounded all muddy! I mean, I think I was starting my levels on the input gain right at! 0DB. So yeah... W'w'w'w'w'w'w'wayyy! too hot! Man, I cranked that thing back, and boy! did that smoothen things out! I don't know why! I thought it was so necessary to run things so hot! How could I a been so stupid! It's a wonder! I didn't fry my equipment putting so much juice through it! Is it normal, guys? that most people make this mistake when they first get started? I hope I'm not alone, otherwise, I'm gonna be pretty imbarrassed. LOL!

Monitoring levels
I'm 100% perfectly aware that I can monitor the level of an individual track by interacting with it, then finding the meter, and then, I can keep hitting vo+F3 to read what's under the Voiceover cursor. what however I'm looking for, is something slightly more robust. Is there a way, and if so, how, that I could asign a hotspot or something similar then have it where it won't read the meter automatically, no, however, if, and only! if, I clip, it'll automatically trigger voiceover to say clipped, or to read the meter in such of a way I'll know I'm clipping? Sometimes, with my hearing loss, it's slightly tricky for me to know audibly, until it gets where it's so badly clipping, that it's flat out disgusting. The issue is, yeah, I could manually look, but what if I only clip on say, one note? If I sing right over that note for instance then check the meter one or two notes early/late, I might miss something very very important. I'm just wonderring the best way to hit that meter dead spot on, so I know instantly! that I'm clipping.

Assuming your hardware doesn't have a horribly high noise floor or anything, then your best bet is probably just to air on the side of caution and go in at a lower gain level whenever it's a particularly dynamic part and raise the level after, perhaps with a limiter on the track to catch any peaks.

Re: Monitoring levels
Slau, I have a question then, I find that on my monitors, if I leave my volume slider in ProTools on a vocal track at 0%, then on my interface, I turn my gain dial way down to the point where in PT, on that track, it shows -18DB, that is so profusely quiet, that I literally almost cannot even hear it unless I turn my monitors almost 3 fourths the way up. Which of corse is way! way! quieter than Voiceover speech, or say my music instrument tracks etc. In order to get a good level that is audible, I'm having to way raise that gain. Even if I don't raise the gain on my interface, but pull the slider on the track in PT all the way to +12DB, which is practically all the way up, it only then starts! to become audible. I know you're probably saying, then, ok, Chris, you're music is way way way too hot. Crank it way the hell down! If I do that, then again, the over all level is very crisp and clean and doesn't clip, but at the same time, compared to my over all volume, PT not with standing, the recording volume is so pathetically low in comparison to everything else, that if I crank it up enough to hear it, any other sound that gets fed through like Alex from Voiceover etc. literally is deafening! I understand we're talking two different levels here. the one on my interface is the input volume, whilst the one on the track in PT is the output volume, I totally get that. I'm just not sure how to keep that input gain on my interface real real low, yet achieve the same level on the output volume without having to bring that input gain so hot. I do have an insert I sometimes pop on a vocal track, it's just one of the default pre-installed dynamic compression plugins, and yeah, if I set the preset to vocal leveler, it helps some, but I don't always want compression. All I need is an output volume only boost. I thought about using a Pre, if I could find a good hardware one that was accessible, but even that is gonna be for the input gain, not the output. So, if you have any suggestions, or think you may know what is going on, let me know.

Re: A few more advanced ProTools Questions
I think what I meant was I didn't realize that you specified both. I didn't realize that when on bars and beats you specified both. I thought it was an absolute bar value. In other words, I thought that you only could say 3 bars. I didn't realize you could say 3 bars, 2 beats. Same goes with hours, minutes, seconds. I was under the impression you only could specify an exact value. I didn't realize it was flexible enough to say 1 minute 30 seconds. I thought you'd have to round the seconds up or down to the nearest minute, and only could specify a min value, not a second value as well. I thought it had to either be 1 minute, or 2 minutes, it couldn't be 1:30. So I was asking with that assumption, which now I know was incorrect, what the different values would represent. Would it be an absolute minute, or would I specify in seconds. Again, now I see it's both. Frankly, your terse comments really are not amusing to me! I was really trying to ask for help, and the whole quote: minutes and seconds are... well? um... minutes and seconds, was extremely uncalled for!

I like pressing 3 on the num pad for recording quick punch because it is a one button step and in my experience I have got punches in at a fraction of a second. It sounds like you will save a whole lot of time considering your set up. If you have the key board in your hand you can punch in over and over without having to walk over to the keyboard each time to hit record. This way you can do 10 takes in about a minute or less depending on the length of the punch.

Re: Editing questions
Not yet per sé, aside the PT documentation which is invaluable by the way, but there will be a webinar class which I will be holding over the next 8 or so weeks on the use of PT with Voiceover. We will start tomorrow evening at 7PM eastern time. If you and others on the list can't attend live, you will have the ability to go back and listen to the webinar at your leisure. You'll also get access to this mailing list as always to ask questions, as well as another list I'm setting up specifically for atendees of the class, all the text documentation I type up for the class, and even downloads to all the sessions that we use over the 8 to 10 week period that we host these classes. So even if you can't attend live, it's not a big deal. You'll have access to go back and listen to the lessons at your own pace, in your own time. Seats are very limitted, so if you or anyone else is interested, write me off list at: clgillan...@gmail.com The cost for registration is $100.00. Keep in mind, that is a one time payment, and at an hour a week over about an 8 week period, that comes to about $12.50 per hour. that's a steel, considerring all you're going to get access to. If interested, send me an e-mail letting me know you've paid, so that I can get you in the registration process. PayPal payments need to be sent to: clgillan...@gmail.com Registration closes tonight at 11:59PM E D T. Sorry for the short notice.

A few more advanced ProTools Questions
OK, I do understand that there are quite a few questions here, but any help would be appreciated with any of these. First of all, I'd like to talk about punch in/punch outs. Sometimes, I'll be recording a vocal track, be it lead, or backing, and I may hit a line a little flat, or a little sharp. More times than not, flat. Sometimes, it's in a part of the song which makes it very tricky to get kuh boom right on key with no lead-in warning. Yeah, I totally get I could then just back up a ways and record a little more than needed just for some wiggle room, but why do that if the part right before sounds flawless? I don't want to chance ruinning a perfectly good measure just to get the bar after it sounding good. That just seems a little over kill. Yeah, I know about the playlist option in the edit window on each track, and yes I know about comping. I confess I don't do it much, but I think I'm gonna start getting myself more in the habbit of it. If I want a pollished recording, then face it, sometimes you have to do the more dirty tedious work, but in the long run, it's well worth it. Anyway, so what I'd like to do is a punch in/out. This is just an example. It doesn't mean it's the song I'm working with, but it's one that I know must people know, so it'll make my point really well. Let's take the song Take it Easy by The Eagles. I, natrually am really not a tennor. I kind of, ish, can do it, but not real well. So let's take the chorus. Take it easy, take it easy! Don't let the sound of your own words drive you crazy. Lighten up while you still can. Let's say I'm in the key of G. This means on lighten up, when I hit that C chord, my voice has to hit that G4. So, basically, the G above middle C. For me, that's way stretching it! I can do it, but it's a major struggle. Notice, I said struggle, I did not say strain. I'm not straining to hit it, trust me. I can hit it, just not very full strength usually, at least not on the first try. I usually have to do it a few times to warm/loosen up. So, what I'm thinking is, if I had a way I could start playing the session right where my vocals say Don't let the sound of your own words drive you crazy... I could sing along with that part, not recording, then as soon as I get past that, have the record engage automatically, let me then keep singing seemlessly, lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand, just find a place to take your stand, and take it easy. After that, have the record disengage all by itself. My mike isn't near enough to my workstation that I can have my hands on the keyboard, nor is it easy for me to hit that line with no prior warning to lead up to it. I just feel I need to easily work my way into it. So yeah, if this can be done, please tell me literally step by step, keystroke by keystroke what I'd hit to do it. My second question is, let's say I'm doing a slow country song, and at the very end, the last two or three bars need to be slower tempo, giving me a ending retard kind of effect. If you wonder what I'm talking about, listen, for instance to the end of Every Light in the House is on by Trace Adkins. That's a perfect! example! So, I know in the event, tempo operations window, how to go to constant, and set a constant BPM, but then, how do I have it do a retard for me? I'm almost done, just two more things. If I'm in say, 4/4 time, and all a sudden, at the start of a bar, I need to switch time signatures without moving the tempo, is there a way I can do that? Finally, If I've inserted midi tracks into my session, and have their output paths going to different xpand2 instrument tracks, is there then a way that I could save that arrangement as a .mid midi file? I know it won't save audio, and I know the samples in the xpand2 tracks wouldn't be saved as midi. I'm perfectly aware of that. I know the whole thing about midi isn't sound. I know it's just 1's and 0's, hince, why I'm routing their outputs to instrument tracks. I just wonder if I could then take those midi tracks, assign the correct GM patches to them like piano, guitar, base, drums on channel 10, etc. then export them down where any midi player, even something simple as WinAmp on Windows could then play the .mid file back with the correct patches in place, and would sound decent. Again, I'm sorry for all the questions, but again, I trust you all will pitch in and help me out here a bit.

Re: A few more advanced ProTools Questions
Slau, This isn't you at all, you did an excellent job explaining, but I must admit, you went way over my head! I know you do audio stuff for a living, so it's not gonna be quick, but I'm in no hurry. Would you be willing to make me an audio demonstration of how this works? I'm sorry, but via text, this just isn't making sense at all. It's not your falt, It's just that it seems this is a very hard concept to grasp via text. I thought it would be more easy than this, like select the portion of audio you want to record, then toggle on punch in, arm the track, hit record, and you're done. It seem like there is way more to it than that though. Wasn't there something like, num pad 4, or was it 6 to turn on punch in, or is this about the easiest way to do it.

Fading
OK, yesterday, I was training a client on the use of ProTools, and we discovered something kind of interesting that I'd like a little bit of clarification regarding. Basically, one of the things he had to do in his ProTools college corse, was to take an mp3 file, import it into PT as an audio track, then move 3 minutes, and 35 seconds into the recording. That part was easy. Then he had to trim off everything from that point of the recording to the end. Again, that also was very very easy. Here's however where things got interesting. The next step, was for him to move back 20 seconds before the end of the recording. That was also easily done. Then however, he had to apply an equal power fade out from that point forward... so, basically, the last 20 seconds needed to be faded out. He was instructed by his teacher to use command+F to get into the fade dialog. Well, for him, he's using ProTools 11. I'm still using 10.0. I'm not even on 10.3, for reasons I'm not gonna bore you all with. Although, hearing Voiceover on his end with 11, has got me really really tempted to purchase 11. Anyway, the point is, for him, he got into the fade dialog, set it and it worked perfectly! He went the 20 seconds back, then did shift+option+return to select everything to the end of the session, then command+F, and then he set the radio button in there to equal, then hit vo+space on OK.

Inserts over multiple tracks, am I understanding this correctly?
Kevin tought me this back in our training, I confess, but he only briefly touched on it. It's not something we spent much time on, so this would be very helpful, if someone could help me out, should I be incorrect on any of these steps. So, I have a few audio tracks which I need to put one or 2 plugins on via inserts. I need the inserts chain to be identical over both those tracks. Same plugin presets, same tweeks, yoddie yodda. For reasons which are hard to explain without showing you all the actual session, it wouldn't be practical for me to route these tracks through a bus, and then receive them on an auxiliary track. they need to remain outputted as normal on their own tracks. Anyway, am I understanding correctly, that if I select all of the tracks that I want the inserts carried over to through my track list table, then go to the first of those tracks, interact with the inserts, then can't I just press vo+command+F5 to route my mouse pointer to say, the insert A popup button, then hold down my option key while physically clicking the actual trackpad to perform a literal click? In other words, option+clicking on that insert will then carry it across? Am I understanding this concept correctly? If not, please could someone tell me where I'm going wrong? I really don't wanna spend the time having to configure these inserts on each individual track.

Re: Inserts over multiple tracks, am I understanding this correctly?
Gotcha. OK, thanks then for the help. Chris. - Original Message - From: Slau Halatyn To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 5:51 PM Subject: Re: Inserts over multiple tracks, am I understanding this correctly? Chris, This is one of those cases where a modifier click plus a drag is not really possible with VoiceOver. Yes, normally, one would Option-click and drag the plug-in to create an exact copy on another insert but VoiceOver can't do that, at least not now. What you'll have to do is instantiate the same plug-ins on the other tracks. You can use Shift-Command-c to copy the plug-in settings from the original track and then Shift-Command-v to paste those settings into the other tracks. You can achieve all of this right from within the plug-in window so it's not too bad.

I really need some encouragement.
OK yall, I feel really stupid right now. I need a refresher on a couple of things. What does numpad slash do, and what is numpad star? I know one of them is a go to command to jump basically to a particular bar/beat, or hour/ninute/second, depending on how you have it set in your edit window, and I know the other one is for selecting a range of data. I just don’t remember which is which. I confess that the way I’ve been editting is just with command or option+shift+numpad 1, 2, plus, or minus, and adjusting the nudge value to get the selection I need. Yes, I know about my mark in and out with the down arrow, and up arrow, although I’m finding that unless the edit doesn’t have to be very tight, which is quite rare, it really doesn’t help me much. I’m asking about the star and slash keys as I’d really like to try starting to use them more. Here’s the situation more specifically. I’m finding the learning curve of editting from Sound Forge on Windows to editting this way in ProTools to be very very steep. Don’t get me wrong. I totally get the concept of how to do this, and without Chuck, Kevin, and Brian Howerton helping along the way, especially the last two, thank you all so so so so much by the way, there is no way in heck! I could have come this far! Period! It just wouldn’t have happened! I can’t tell you all how much you mean to me both professionally, as well as friendship speaking. You all’re very very slowly but surely making my recording dreams come true. The bottom line though is, coming from Sound Forge now to this, is just driving me nuts! Yeah, I know, I need to basically probably just forget everything I learned as far as Soundforge goes. It sounds to me like Sound Forge is kind of a poor man’s cheat. By that I mean, you edit pretty much exactly like you’d edit a text based Microsoft Word file. Shift+arrow keys, page up and down, home and end, ctrl+C to copy, ctrl+x to cut, ctrl+V to paste, left and right arrows to move through or back in the file… etc. It seems like every other daw I have used, be it Sonar, be it Goldwave, be it Cakewalk Pro Audio way back in its days, be it Audasity, be it Adobe Audition, be it Amadeus Pro, Garageband, whatever… all those seem to rely more on set your nudge value, set your zoom aspect ratio if needed, set an in and out marker, move your selection around, etc. I dono, I’m probably rambling, so I’ll stop. The point being, those of you that converted from Sound Forge in windows when it comes to editting, and I mean people specifically that for editting purpose using SF in Windows… I’d like to hear from some of you who’ve come from there and now on PT have gotten very proficient at editting in ProTools. I’d like to get you all maybe, if you don’t mind to bounce some ideas to me that may help with my transition. For example, I had a podcast the other day that was sent to me for editting. I brought it up in ProTools. I thought, you know? What the heck! I could do this in SoundForge, and get this thing so darn polished and so tight, you’d never even know it was editted to start with. That is literally, not to brag purposely, how good I’ve gotten at editting in SF. I literally have taken someone’s voice on a recording phoneme by phoneme, phone by phone, and literally got them to say: Chris is a GD effing idiot! When I played it for the lady who’s voice I used, she busted a gut for about 5 minutes straight dying of laughter. It was a freaking riot! I just thought this time, I’d at least try. My thought was, OK, look. If I can’t do it, I can’t do it. But, I’ll never know if I don’t at least try. No pain, no gain, ey? So on I went. Well, it proved disastrous. No matter what I did, I could not line up my selections accurately enough. I know it’s possible to do, but I just became so damn frustrated, that I gave up. I finally just went back to old habbits, by going into Soundforge on my windows desktop machine, and bangged out the edit in just over an hour. To this day, I hate myself for doing that! How am I ever gonna learn, if I don’t quit doing that! Exactly! I won’t! This transition however is just seeming to be too overwhelming. I wonder aside the obvious of Chris, just take some deep breaths. Relax. You’re gonna get it eventually, I promise, what else maybe I could do that may help me a bit with this. Like I said, I get the concept, but actually then doing it is something else apparently, altogether. I feel like I’m not progressing at the level of my expectations, and that really hurts me deeply. I really am trying, but it’s just, not, happening. Do you all have any thoughts aside, Well Chris, now that I’ve read your novel sized sob sogga, looket, I don’t need that right now, OK? Just help me, don’t slander me with such crewel words. I wrote because I need help, not because I need to be ciber slapped in the face. Chris. -- You received this

Really could use some clarification
Hello gang. I have a client who I'm trying to help with ProTools. He has Mountain Lion lamentably, and doesn't seem to have any desire to upgrade or downgrade. I explained to him that things would be very difficult with Mountain Lion, but in the most respectful way I know how to say this, I'm not trying to be difficult, but he's not understanding when I tell him things don't work as he thinks. He is coming from the world of Sonar, and now wants to get into ProTools. First of all, a little about his setup: He has a set of studio monitors which are connected to a Mackie onix 1642 16 channel firewire interface. He also has two midi sampler modules. I'm not sure the models. One is a Barranger, but I don't know what the other one is. He told me, but I don't recall. He's trying to add an instrument track, more specifically, mini grand, but he can't seem to get the stereo instrument track to arm so that he can record. What he told me that he's doing is: he has one of the older model 61 keys of the Yamaha Motif. He's running his barranger midi module from the line out via an 8th inch stereo cable, to one of the 16 channels on his Mackie onix 1642. The thing is, he's telling me that module only has a midi out, and not a midi in. I find that extremely! hard to believe! How could you get midi out of the module, if you're not feeding anything into it to start with. He doesn't even have a midi through. If he did, we could use that, as you'll see in a minute, as he's got a dazy chain going on here. The other module he's not even using right now, period. He said it's not even hooked up. He'd like it to be, but he said it wouldn't be possible with his setup. To get midi out of his Motif into the computer, at least with Sonar, he was not doing this with midi in/midi out. He actually said he was doing it via USB from the Motif to his windows computer. He said he suspected it would work the same way with his Mac on ProTools. I asked him if he's trying to get the sound from the Motif into ProTools, as well as the sounds from the modules. He said yes. He said however, the USB on the motif, at least on the older model, only carries midi events. It doesn't carry audio, thus making a separate audio device. I know nothing about that. I dont' currently have a motif, so am very unfamiliar. If anyone wants to ship me their's though... hint hint? LOL! Just kidding! Seriously though... I dont' know what else to say. I told him he could do this, but he'd not be able to do it like in Sonar. In Sonar, you can have multiple audio devices going at the same time both in and out. You can't with ProTools. Well, OK, you can through a send or a bus, ok, fine, but what I'm saying is, you can't have two audio devices for your playback engine at the same time, can you? Not at least, unless you use the ProTools agragate device which can be a bit problematic, at least in my experience. I told him if he wants to get the keyboard, and both his modules working, what he should do is: 1. Run an RCA red and white to stereo quarter inch cord out of his motif and the other end to a channel on the Mackie onix 1642. 2. Run a midi cable from midi out on the motif, to midi in on one of his modules. 3. Take another midi cord, and run from midi through on the same module going to the motif. Run the other end of that cord to midi through on the second module. 4. Take a 3rd midi cable, and run from midi out of the second module to midi in on his Mackie onix 1642. Here, we hit a problem. He said the Mackie onix 1642 doesn't have midi interface. I told him, ok, then, does the second module in the chain have a line out? He said yes. I told him ok, then run from that module's line out, to one of the channel line in's on his Mackie onix 1642 with a stereo patch cord. 5. I told him finally, then, set your I/O paths up correctly in ProTools to use the Mackie onix 1642 as his playback engine, and make sure the in and out paths are set to the defaults. He seemed very stubborn to not want to do any of the above steps. He seems to think that he can run USB out of his keyboard... Motif... and use it as a USB midi device on it's own, stand-alone yet use the other stuff seperetly yet, have PT see them both at the same time as one device. I don't know who's confused here, but it sounds like him. I dont' think that's possible, is it? I mean, the only way I know to do this would be to use audio/midi setup in the utilities folder of his Finder, and create an agrigate device with those devices all in it, then set PT to that Agrigate device, right? I just wanna get some clarification from someone who may use a Motif in their studio, or maybe have worked with a Mackie onix 1642 specifically, who could give me some pointers. I dont' think it's gonna work the way he clames, but then at times, I never clamed either to not be audio stupid at times. I promised him I'd reach out to you guys and see if anyone knew

Re: Instrument track
First of all, why're you creating 2 or 3 tracks? You only need one stereo instrument track to make this work. Second of all, are you sure you're creating an instrument track, and not an audio track? Finally, yeah, I don't know what version you have of PT, but if it's version 9, or version 10, you definitely should have gotten a second DVD with your stuff that would be the installer for the Virtual Instruments. If you didn't get a physical DVD set, as you did the digital download, then go under my downloads in your Avid online account, and you should see that you not only have the DVD downloader for 10.0, or whatever, but you also should have one for the virtual instruments and loops. Both would be on that one DVD. That would give you the DB33 I think it's called, which is basically the Hamand B3 modeler, as well as XPand2, Boom, and a few other things as well like Mini Grand, etc. Chris.

Re: Findings with ProTools: Ab, suh, lootly, incredible news!
Well, for one, I think the ILok manager is a whole different ball game in itself. I don't see why it would mess up your license, being it's on your ILok.

Re: Findings with ProTools: Ab, suh, lootly, incredible news!
You know, Mavericks... the new OS that just came out yesterday for OSX. I'm a developer, so I saw the OS way way before nondevelopers did, but I couldn't really say anything about it prior to the official release yesterday, as I was on a strict nondisclosure agreement: NDA. As you remember I'm sure, in Mountain Lion OSX 10.8, a ton, and I do mean, a ton! of things accessibility wise were broken. Now, most of them have been fixed to the point where if you were running something like Snhow Leopard, or Lion on your studio machine, you pretty much could now update it to Mavericks and have the same equal accessibility without all those stupid accessibility flaws that neither myself, Kevin, nor Slau or anyone could quite figure out. I'm definitely going to be writing Apple Accessibility. I might get a canned response, and most likely, probably will, knowing my experience there, so just know that up front, but I'm at least going to write and tell them it works, and to keep up the great work! I think if we do that, it'll really encourage them to keep accessibility updates forward coming. This just goes to show, I think Apple really all this time with our complaints about Mountain Lion with PT have been listenning. I confess, you're probably wonderring, well Jesus, Chris! Why didn't you try PT during the developer stage. I did! Very! Very! thoroughly. I also have been talking a bit with Avid as well as Slau behind the scenes. Slau didn't know this, and I certainly don't feel that I can compare with Slau's work. I'm not even anywhere near! as committed as he is, Note to slau: take that as a really huge complement, but I will say that I have talked with a few support people there. Probably no one as high up as Slau has talked with, but, trust me, I can tell you now that our voices have been heard, and it just goes to show with this Mavericks OSX 10.9 update. I just simply couldn't say anything earlier. I've known now for some time that PT worked really well in Mavericks, I just couldn't tell you so at that time due to the NDA. Anyway, again, I'd like to congratulate Slau, Kevin, and all others who have worked on this list with Avid and with Apple so generously to better improve accessibility. It paid off!

Re: Findings with ProTools: Ab, suh, lootly, incredible news!
I kind of remember that it did, as there were still some plugins that for some reason were not fully PT 11 compatible quite yet, but I'd hate to be the breaker of bad news or good news and you wind up finding differently, so I'm totally with Slau on this one. I'd check first before making a committed purchase. Be blessed. Chris.

Re: Instrument Track
I'm a little confused on what yu mean by instrument instead of audio or bus. What I! do, maybe this is why for me it isn't working, i dono, is, I create a track with command shift N. I then tell it stereo, and I tell it to do an instrument track. Then, I interact with that inst1 instrument track, then again, interact within that track with the inserts. Then on the insert A popup, I go to Multi-Channel Plugin, then instrument. Under there, I chose XPand2, once in here, in the librarian menu, I choose my bank/category, then finally, my actual instrument. I then scroll through the menus on my Yamaha DGX500 portable grand that I have connected via midi, and set local to disable. This way, I don't get loopback from the keyboard speakers. Then, if I play, it works. I'm finding however that with Boom, that doesn't seem to be working. Chris.

Got Boom to kind of, sort of, ish, work.
I think I got Boom kind a working, but it sounds like it is all drum loops. I guess I was under the impression that these were actual drum kits, like you get in XPand2, whereby I could actually play the beat myself. Frankly, this is very controvertial, so I don't wanna get a heated discussion started with this as it's liable to become dirty, but, I find loops in some respect to be cheating. OK, yes, they have their purpose, but rarely. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Frankly, this is very controvertial, so I don't wanna get a heated discussion started with this as it's liable to become dirty, but, I find loops in some respect to be cheating. OK, yes, they have their purpose, but rarely. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: iLok Manager
The last that I heard, it kind of didn't work at all, frankly. They used to have a web based client which worked fantasticly, but when ProTools 11 came out, that changed. Quite honestly, I don't know why on earth they couldn't just leave well as enough alone, but anyway, that's life for ya. You'll probably need to get sighted assistance with that part, but after that, the rest is a breeze. Chris.

Re: Adding a high pass filter
OK, thanks. I'll have a look. I just hope there is a 1band that comes with PT by default. Chris. - Original Message - From: TheOreoMonster monkeypushe...@gmail.com To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 9:06 PM Subject: Re: Adding a high pass filter I'd suggest to keep things simple at first, why not select the 1 band eq instead of the 3 or 7 band option. I can't remember the exact name of the field but i think its called filter type or something like that. By default its set to shelf or something like that. Interact and chang it to high pass. The Gain field sets the value for how much that frequency is cut or boosted. Positive values equals a boost and negative values equals a cut. Since the purpose of a high pass filter is to remove lows, or *pass the highs* you will want a negative value here as it will cut all frequencies at the frequency value and lower.

Re: Probably not the greatest, but tell me what you all think.
Compression has never ever ever been something that I've understood. The last time I asked on list people chewed the f*** out of me off list privately. I then went over to midimag and was told my question was off topic. I posted to PC Audio and was not only told I was off topic, but was banned from the list due to untrue rumors that were spread about me by a list member very quickly once he saw I had joined the list. I dono what the hell his issue was, but anyway... Frankly, I'll be honest to say, vocals just might not be my thing. I have a bit of mental retardation, and that isn't a joke. I literally have been diagnosed clennically with a slight bit, so though not profound in the least, one thing that is effected horrifically is my part of the brane which neurologically deals a lot with logic and with mathematics. For this reason, I have had compression explained to me on the most simple level you could imagine. I've even had people like Chuck Reichel try sending me video tutorials. I'm sorry but bless his heart, I know he was really trying, but it just didn't make sense. I'm really really pooring my heart felt plee out to you all here. I want to do music ministry, and really want to record. It's my dream, so please don't hate me or yell at me for not understanding. Guys, I'm not a pro like most of you all are. I'm hardly even an ammature. I'd like to become professional, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I probably could also stand to get some voice lessons, but I live out in the boonies, plus, I can't afford audio productions lessons let alone voice lessons. It was hard enough affording Kevin Reeves to work with me the 8 hours he did. If it wasn't for me doing that, I probably never would have gotten the hang of ProTools like I have now. So, I need clarification on a few specific things from you reply. First of all, when you say loosen up, can you be way more specific? If you mean I sound really forced, you're not the first person to say I'm very very very tense. Honestly, I'm not sure how to relax any more. I feel like to get any variation in my vocals I have to have that strong voice and the only way to get that is with volume, and the only way to get volume is to project, and the only way to project is to push. Plus, I'm so scared people are not going to like the vocal that I wind up probably all tensified and wind up trying way too hard. No, the way you heard it on the mike is actually about how without a mike I'd sing it believe it or not. On the note of compression, I understand I really! need to get the hang of this, and quit relying on presets in the librarian menu to do it all for me, but please! I'm begging you, can you at least tell me, and I know it's one of these things, generally, no, you can't, as I have to play with it, and experiment, and just listen to the sound, but can you at least give me a plugin that comes with version 10.0 natively, and tell me after popping it on an insert, step by step what to vo+right arrow past in the plugin window and specifically what control to look for, and how voiceover would read it, and tell me what to try setting it to and what preset to start with? I know I may have to play a bit, but can you at least tell me keystroke by keystroke something I can try to at least get a good compression ratio set to start from that you would almost bet would maybe not be the key, but would at least improve things a bit based on my voice? I know I'm gonna have to eventually find a way to learn the basics of compression, but but I don't know how I'm going to. I have a severe hearing loss, especially on the higher frequencies, so honestly, even if you squash the living snot out of it, I still have trouble hearing the effect. I know this is far from the list to be asking for help on mixing as this list is more for PT discussion, but if you all can at least help me enough to get me started, I promise once we can help me with the basics of good vocal mixing, I swear to god, I won't keep bugging you. Promised! Please though, help me reach my dream. All I've ever in life wanted is to make a good recording that I could go back and listen to and say hey, look, I really can do this after all! On the final note, you said the vocals were a bit too much over the music. I agree, but I'm not totally sure how to fix that. I know the compression, but would you say it probably is going to be better to back my gain knob off a ways on my Fast Track C400 interface, or do you think it would be better to actually turn down the output fader on the vocal track in PT itself, or would you simply just maybe start by trying to back off the mike a bit. I know it's all play/listen/try, trial an error, but where should I start? Can you give me one thing to try, then rebounce, and I'll let you all hear it again, and then we can decide what's next. I want to do the mixing myself
Re: Probably not the greatest, but tell me what you all think.
Thank you Byron. That really means a lot to me. Most people have given me very negative criticism, I mean, not now... but in th3e past, so I was real real hesitant to share this with you all. I'm playing a bit with the compressor, and think I found a preset that I tweeked. Basically, we got a 3/1 ratio, with a 7MS attack, and a 25MS release, and my threshold at -12DB. I'm finding that this sounds absolutely in, cr'r'r'r'r'redible! Oh, my heavens! what a difference! My vocals sound way more well, what's the word... full. They have more bottom to them, but the mud that I described way back when is gone! Keep also in mind though that I used the native EQ 3 7 band EQ, and under vocals, I set in the librarian menu, add air. I didn't change anything under the add air preset. I left it completely alone, and just let the preset take over the EQ. Can you give me some steps on what to do to put that distortion on my inserts for the base and the drums? Also, is that just a preference, or is there a reason why you're thinking that would work here? Also, why add distortion if you won't hear it? I don't understand your logic.

I bet when your singing that same song without a mic in front of you you let it rip and roar. So, as for any thoughts of how to improve it, I think the vocals are sitting on top of the music a little too much, either you could pull the vocals down a tad, or compress or both. I myself would definatly compress the vocals more, at least a 3 to 1 and go up from there with a fast atack on a faster paist song like that and dig into the thresh hold.

I've mixed before in other daws, namely reaper, and audacity, but back in march or april a good friend of mine came in to town from Nashville and spent 3 weeks with me showing me everything he could about PT. From then onward, I've been on a quest to redo a lot in PT. I find editing so much nicer in PT. I was going for a sound here that had a tight bass and kick drums sound, and I worked to keep the vocal just above the music. There is a lot going on as there was 5 mics on the amp so obviously mixing those in to a sub group, and treating them with EQ and compression ETC. There is actually about 4 or 5 different guitar tracks going on at a time, so I'll have to look to see which should go down and which could stay where they are. Thanks again.

Re: Saving in Version 9 format
Hey there. Thank you so much for such a thorough explaination. That makes perfect sense. So, if I did use Save as, to just make another revision, how would that work sinse it's only saving the .ptx file? Would I then basically copy the other files/folders making up the session to the same place where I saved the revision with save as? Chris. - Original Message - From: Monkey Pusher monkeypushe...@gmail.com To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 1:22 PM Subject: Re: Saving in Version 9 format Save as allows you to rename the file/save anew version of the project file with a new name. For example you have song.ptx Then when you mix it you will do save as and rename it Song Mix.ptx. You do a revision and save it as song mix2.ptx. and so on. While you can use save as to save a copy in a new location, this only saves the project file. It doesn't bring the project audio files, plug in settings,etc etc along with it. the project file or PTX file is essentially a tiny file that tells pro tools what do do with the audio and etc.When using save copy in, it will create a new project folder with all the files associated with the project in it. This is ideal for back up and archival purposes if you want to save the project to a different hard drive or etc. It is also ideal when you want to conver the project to another format for sending off to another studio/engineer.

So it will automatically point to the audio file and plug in settings folder or etc. However if you did want to save the revision to another location, it would still point to all those files, the problem comes when you say save the revision to an external HD and you then take that HD to a friends house .. since its just the PTX file and its not plugged into your computer where the audio and other files re it will kick up an error. So if you did save ass, you would manual have to be certain to copy all the needed project files to the same external as well so when u opened it on your friends computer you could then point it to the copy of the files on the external as well. Save Copy in does this lal for you and ensures all needed files will be present in the same folder where you save that version of the project.

Again, I will explain for the fifth time now. Some of your counters will not read. By counters I'm speaking of, when you're setting things like the tempo, or your key time signature, or in the edit window, looking at how many beats/bars, or hours/minutes/seconds you are into the session. things like that. The counters do not read. Plus there are probably a few other things that I'm forgetting off hand, but those are the biggies.

Re: Counter displays in PT 10?
ok, fine, it doesn't work. Happy? Shit, alive, people? And no, I did not break the NDA. You need to have a look at the NDA specifications, and mayber show me where it states I can't tell people I'm a dev or that I'm running Mavericks. I don't recall ever seeing that. I can't tell you anything ab out it, no, but I can at least say yes. Finally, the issue of question wasn't is anyone running an NDA version of PT. He asked if anyone had tried with Maverick, and it truth, yes, I have, and taht is why I said yes, it has been tested. I would think saying issues are being worked on would go without saying and that's why I didn't mention it. The sky's blue. Must I be that literal? Sorry to sound so much like a jack ass, but honestly, I answered a question, WTF!

Assisting with a ProTools Installation
Hey guys. I need a little help. The guy who works with me, Ben, has just gone on Amazon, and bought him a bundled audio pack which contains a mike, pop filter, stand, stereo earphones, the exact same ironically interface that I'm using, and a copy of ProTools MP9. Yes, I know, that's a bit old, but he's going to crossgrade it eventually. Right now though, he's got a project coming up on Labor Day weekend, that he has a deadline to finish, and being right now, our biggest concern is getting him familiarized with the basics of PT. He's not a musician. He's going to be mainly using this setup for spoken word. Anyway, I think if I understood correctly that the ILok he's getting should already come with the asset for ProTools on it. If not though, what now with this new ILok manager thing are the steps to get his ILok account setup, and get his ProTools license over onto the ILok? Don't worry about accessibility. We have someone sighted who definitely can help us. We just need to know what they will need to do to get things up and working. I am debating just having him call Sweet Water Support and letting them remote into his system and do it for him, but I'd rather not bother them and just get his mom or dad to help us do it, if possible. I can help him once we get past that, but that's really the biggest concern. I know how to do it with the old web based ILok manager, but I know nothing about this new way of doing it which I hear is completely inaccessible. I really hope we get that issue fixed eventually. Anyway, I'm going to try to get Ben to join the list later today. I think he had intended to do so, and got sidetracked, so I'll remind him. I'm mainly writing on his behalf though as first of all, he doesn't know anything about this type stuff, but is definitely wanting to learn, and 2, with him not being on the list yet, plus the fact I'm gonna be the one helping him one on one to get up and running... I just want to make sure all my ducks are in a row to help him, cause you know what happens to the levels when you duck something too much... OK, never mind. That was a smart ass really! bad! joke. Seriously speaking though, yeah, if someone could give me an idea of the process to get, or to be sure in the first place, that his asset is on that included ILok, I'd really appreciate it. Again, us getting sighted help isn't an issue at all. That should be fairly easy to do.

Re: Assisting with a ProTools Installation
Actually, that's not true on either of the things you mention from what I can tell. I bought an item from somewhere other than Sweet Water and they were still more than happy to help me. Secondly, when I intially back in the days got my MP9 bundled copy of ProTools, it had an ILok, and the asset was already on it, but, he's still going to want to create an ILok account and sync that asset down to his account. What if down the road he wants to buy any ILok licensed plugins. The bottom line is, he's gonna sooner or later enough need an ILok account.

Hello Ben. Welcome abord! Great to see a new user getting on board the PT wagon. If I, or anyone else on here can answer any questions for you, don't hesitate to let us know. That's what we're here for, and you'll find none of us bite. We have some very very knowledgeable people on here. Not to leave anyone out, but for example, Kevin Reeves is on here, so is Slau Haliton, or as you might or might not know him... jerry Haliton, although he I think prefers going by Slau, Dono if Venny is on here or not. I think he is, but not sure. Chuck Reichel is also on here, you may remember me talking to you about him. Really all of us on here are very friendly, or at least I think, so don't ever feel like there is such thing as a dumb question. When it doubt ask. A lot of the stuff for now might on here go over your head, but don't worry, you gotta start somewhere. Anyway, ultimately the bottom line is, wlcome to the list. We're all glad to have you~!

Somewhat of an odd request, but need a little help
OK guys. I am in the market for getting a new keyboard to use with my ProTools setup. I have a few models in mind, but the one that really stands out is the Yamaha Motif. So, I have a few questions. First of all, I assume that this keyboard would be totally compatible with PT based on what I've read and seen. Second of all, here's the little favor I have to ask. I know that a butt load of you don't do this stuff as a hobby, but more as a living to put food on your table, clothes on your back, and nappies on your kids bum bums, OK, juwst kidding on the last one, LOL! but bottom line is, you don't do free work, nor do I expect anyone to, but hear me out on this. I also understand this is probably not exactly the list to ask this, so I'm gonna keep this very direct, to the point, short and sweet, and very sparing. Basically, I've looked at a Motif, yes. but the thing is, within PT, I'm wanting to use the main samples that come on the keyboard itself, so I'd probably run it through it's line out, into my interface. The only thing is, I've heard some of the samples, like the grand pianos a few of the guitars, maybe a few of the drum kits, etc. but I never really have heard them in context. I've heard a few sequences which have been done but it didn't really give me a good idea, as it's not really exactly the style I'll be doing. With this said, I'm not going to sit here and ask any of you to do Beethoven's fifth synthany or something complex, don't worry, that's not even my style, but rather let's take this real easy. I want to hear something in context, a song that I actually know and can follow, so that I can better not only hear the samples in context but can even know what exactly I'm listenning for. With music I don't know, it's hard as I don't exactly know where things should go in the first place. I don't want anything major, but if any of you on here have a motif, and a way to patch it through PT, using the internal sequencer just within the Motif itself, and all onboard samples, nothing from a soft synth what so ever, let's just say something with only 2 chords the whole way through, just basically C, and G/G7. It's not really my choice of music, but it's something very easy that I don't think would take much any effort to do. Could someone maybe make me an mp3 of basically piano, drums, base and maybe guitar doing Skip to my Lou? I know again this isn't really the list to ask this per sey. I promise I'm not gonna keep asking. I'm making this one request, and that'll be the end of it, no questions asked. I cross my heart! I just want to hear in real time what I'm getting. This way, I can better decide if indeed the motif really will have the sound I'm looking for when certain samples are combined. I don't need anything done real fancy. Just wsomething like this simple that will give me an idea. If willing, my e-mail address is: clgillan...@gmail.com I also know this probably will not happen over night. Take all the time you need. If it takes upward of a week, that's fine. Just let me know however that if I am willing to be patient, you will do it for me. This way I keep in the loop. OK, enough said. I'm finnished. I won't ask anymore on list about this being it's a bit off topic. That's my sincere whole hearted promise, so help me god. Chris Gilland.

A Couple of Questions about basic nudging
I completely understand that I can select a portion of audio, then can use my plus and minus keys on the num pad to nudge forward or backward in my session. I'm curious however if no audio is selected, however my counter is set where I want the nudge to start, then! what are the keyboard commands to move forward and backward? I looked in the key shortcuts guide, but I can't seem to find it. My final question is, if I wish to nudge something, does the audio I wish to nudge forward or back need to be isolated into its own region, or could I actually nudge it forward or back without first splitting into multiple regions?

Kevin would kill me seeing we worked so extensively on this in our lessons. Why this is slipping my mind, I am unsure. A few questions though: 1. How do I increase/decrease my zoom ratio? Like, if I hit the num pad plus and minus keys, or while not playing, I hit num pad 1 and num pad 2 repetedly. Basically, I wanna adjust the amount of area I cover each time I hit those keys. This way if I need to do something really tight, I can, or if I need to zoom in where I can move in bigger chunks, I can. I thought it was command+option+num pad plus and minus, but apparently not. That doesn't seem to be working. 2. I know about using command+num pad plus and minus, or option+minus or plus, but I kind a remember when selecting audio, that I could select in bigger chunks with command+num pad 1 or 2, or option+num pad 1 or two, depending on which side of the selection I'm moving. That doesn't seem to be working though, and I can't for the life a me figure out why not. The final question is, where do I go to change the edit counter cluster so that instead of it measuring time based off ticks/beats/bars, it bases it off hour, minute, seconds? I gotta track I need to mix but it's spoken word, not music, so doing this in musical time signature is gonna be a mess! Thank you. Again, why these commands are slipping my mind, I don't know. I'd be happy to go look at the keyboard shortcut guide, but right now, I don't really have anything other than Preview for viewing P D F files, and to me, I never have been able to get my head around Preview. If someone else has any other sollutions, I'd be extremely! greatful to know an easier way, as I really do wanna start looking more into reading the docs, as I'm a very firm believer in that being essential to me learning things optymally.

Re: Huh! Now this is really strange! Anyone have any idea?
OK, but with all do respect, that wasn't my problem. The issue isn't not being able to delete the audio. The issue is why when I only have one track in the entire session, I can't delete anything as for some reason if there is only one track, that one track doesn't apparently get selected, so even though I'm selecting audio, I'm only putting a selection up in my ruler. It's not literally selecting audio on that track to be deleted. I'm only selecting a from/through time, but not the actual data itself. Thank you kindly,d Christopher-Mark Gilland.

I'm not sure how everyone else does it, but the way I do it, is to select the audio, then press command b to clear the selection, which seems to delete the audio. That's how I've always done it.

I'm not on any build of 10. I'm literally just on straight 10.0. Not 10.0.1, etc. This is just straight 10.0. I'm using OSX 10.6.8 as my O S which runs ProTools. OK, so here's the deal. Even when I had Lion, I kind a remember this being a problem, but never really knew how to work around it effectively. Basically, I have one track in my entire session. It's a stereo audio track. I'm trying to select a portion of the track, so that I can trim off part of the beginning of the audio. The issue is, I get the audio I need selected, and I make sure under my edit screen that the selecter tool is selected, which it is, and I also make sure that the edit mode cluster is on shuffle. Then, I hit my delete key. Nothing at all happens. Nothing what so ever gets deleted. Yeah, I do have link selection in timeline or whatever that's called and the thing where the marker follows selection, I do have all that correctly set. The only way that I have found to get around this problem so far, is to create another track, doesn't matter if it's an A U X, instrument, audio, or master fader. The bottom line is, I just have to create another track. I don't necessarily have to put anything on it, nor route anything through it with a bus, etc. I just have to have it created. Then, and only! then, I can go up to my track list table, interact with it, go back up to the actual audio track I need to edit, hit vo+space to select it, and then! I can delete with no issue. In other words, more simply put, unless I have at least two tracks in my session, editting seems to be impossible. Even though with one track only, that track seems to be selected in the track table. NO, I don't! know! it's selected, but I'm assuming! it is, based off the fact, there wouldn't be anything else to! select. Plus, Even though with only one track, it reads that table as a text box, not a table, I still anyway, have hit vo+space on the track, just to be sure it was selected. Still, no go. It just won't do it, unless there is more than one track in the session. This is extremely! bizarre! I'm just wonderring if any a you guys have also seen this behavior and if so, aside adding a dummy track temporarily, is there a better work-around? chris.
Re: help selecting regions

That was what you had to do in the analog days to make sure the audio was up over the noise floor of tape or you would hear the tape hiss during what you were recording. You record at lower levels you have more room to bring tracks up in the mix before they clip and more flexibility withcompression and other dynamics effects. As for the original question. stop trying to monitor what is in the DAW and listen to the direct monitoring from the interface. you should have enough level there without having to crank everything up. Unless you have a reverb or something else on the track that you want to monitor yourself through while recording, there is really no benefit to using the input monitor in your DAW over the direct monitor of the interface. But if you insist on monitoring through the DAW, then try putting a gain plug in in one of the insert slots.

Personally, I head for as close to 0db on that gain indicator as possible, usually stopping level testing at about -3db, to account for the fact that people usually sing louder with the backing in their ears. No clue how you get anything done at -10db, but maybe I'm completely wrong. If that's still not loud enough, turn the fader right up, no one cares of that fuzzes, then, if you still don't have enough, once you've got your initial level set, compress away, use the fatten or brick wall presets, and you should be fine.
