Re: Pro Tools Dock Question

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Toby,

OK, here are a few settings to check.


1.  Open the EuCon Control app from your operating system Dock, you can
also use the (Command plus tab) until you hear EuCon Control.
2.  Press (Command plus number 1) in the QWERTY keyboard above the
letter (Q).  This is the shortcut key and will open the EuCon settings
window.
3.  Navigate to the “General Tab” and (VO spacebar) to click and select
the General settings view.
4.  Using the Voiceover Item Chooser, (VO plus I), type the first three
letters of the word “Select”.  This will bring up a list of
approximately 9 items.  You will need to one by one, VO click each of
the following three items related to your issue in order to draw
Voiceover’s focus to the check box location.  If they’re not checked,
just VO click each to check the boxes insuring that the PT Dock will
track your selections in the Track List View.

Item #1:
“Select most recently attentioned track” Should be checked.
Item #2:
“Attention most recently selected track Legacy” should be checked.
Item number 3:
“Auto Bank to selected track” should be checked.

Close the settings window with (Command plus W), and then hide the
EuCon Control with (Command plus H).

I hope this helps.

Sean

Hi, 

I have been trying to connect my new Pro Tools Dock to my Mac but seem to have 
an issue with EuCon seeing the Dock. 

I have done all the steps as required so far in setting things up.  Connected 
the Dock to my Mac, switched it on with my Mac up and running.  Registered the 
Dock with Avid.  Downloaded and installed EuCon on my Mac.  It is after this 
stage that I have a problem. 

According to the instructions after installing EuCon and having to restart my 
Mac to install it, when restarting my Mac with the Dock connected there should 
be a lit EuCon icon on the task bar.  

No EuCon icon appears on the Task bar and my sighted wife checked this for me 
too.

In Mac preferences there is a tab for EuCon and an empty table of devices.  On 
Googling around I can’t seem to find any answers or suggestions on how to 
either get the EuCon onto the task bar or any hints and tips on what to do. 

I have a USB C to Ethernet adaptor which is connecting my Dock to my Mac and I 
can see the adaptor in network connections in preferences.  

I have been into Pro Tools and ticked the box for EuCon connections just in 
case. 

I have tried powering down my Mac and Dock and restarting but can’t seem to get 
them to talk to each other. 

I would have called Avid Support here in the UK but they are not open over the 
weekend. 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.  

Cheers 

Toby

Re: Control+P and Control+Semicolon in ProTools 2019.6

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Martin,

You simpley add the (shift key) to the (Control P, and control
semicolon) and you will select tracks consecutively.

If you have a Hotspot set the query the Track List Table, you can then
hear the range of track that you have selected.  The only drawback is
that Voiceover does not report the interval skips if they are not
consecutive.  For example; if you select tracks 1,2,4,5, skipping
track 3, Voiceover reports “Tracks 1 through 5 selected.

Hi Slau,

I saw this response of yours to Andrew.  Did this address the AIR

that Avid still needs to fix the issue on their end with the Mini
Grand instrument included with Pro Tools.  Or are the files you

Thanks,

Re: Memory locates table & hotspots?

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Chuck,

I have been having the issue of the hot spots failing for several
versions of the Mac OS.  I have just gotten use to resetting the hot
spots manually over and over.  It takes me just about as long to reset
all 10 manually, as it does trying to unload Voiceover, exiting Pro
Tools, etc., etc.

I have tried to speak with someone in Apple that has some kind of a
working knowledge, but as nice as Apple tech-support people are, very
few of any questions are resolved via their help.

I’ve noticed if I manually switch the screen back and forth from the
edit or to mix view where I had originally created the spots,
miraculously, they will sometime come back to life even after
Voiceover reports that the hot spot no longer exists.  In past oS
versions, they use to successfully switch screen fairly well.  I think
this is also directly related to the tracking issue that Slau also
mentioned.  The failing tracking issue has become a real PITA having
to continually reorient back to where we were previously working.
Again, this also use to work fairly well in previous OS versions.

On the issue someone brought up about entering beginning and end
points, no one seemed to mention that you need to be in the Edit
screen for the slash key to work.

Just my two cents!  Grin.

Sean

Re: waves vocal override plugin

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Chuck,

I had filled out the survey that waves had sent to me recently.

My company has recommended Waves product for years, and I have
continued to converse with their support regarding accessibility.

Also, for everyone’s information, the latest Waves 9.91 bundle has now
implemented complete mapped control for all of their plug-ins for the
Avid S3 and S6S control surfaces.  This is a big step in the right
direction, and if EuCon were to have a “Speech Tab” integrated into
the EuCon control protocol, just imagine what long term access there
would be in a global fashion.  The EuCon control would then be able to
communicate with the OS’s speech directly like the Native Instruments
Kontrol.

And to all that may write Waves, remember the adage, “You catch more
flies with honey, then you do using vinegar.”  Wink!

Re: Radio Voice Over

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau,

Sorry about the vague question yesterday, I was on my way out the door
to a client, and I just shot it out there for feedback.  And boy did I
ever get it!  Herman rebuked me for my piss-pore communications!  LOL!

I am aware there are several libraries out there such as the Hollywood
Edge Sound effects library. What I was wondering, was if anyone has
had a good experience with a “catalog/matrix browser” that can enable
a visually impaired producer/engineer to effectively navigate?  These
monster libraries are quite menacing to have to negotiate without a
way of finding categories and samples quickly.  I know Pro Tools has a
browser, but to my knowledge, we still don’t have any functional use
with Voiceover.  And yes, I realize that the Native Kontrol Standard
(NKS) holds promise for the future, but to date, I don’t know of other
significant sound effect libraries that have yes to adopt the NKS
standard.

So, any ideas and or corrections are remorsefully welcome!  Grin.

Thanks,

Sean

Re: Choice of os

[Sean A. Cummins]

Martin,

Remember, Air has not yet released the fix for the Mini Grand piano
with Sierra.  There is also an issue with Apple’s cursor tracking in
Sierra and is particularly frustrating in Pro Tools 12 that is yet to
be resolved.  Sierra is not a shipwreck of an OS; just a few bugs that
might frustrate your use in the OS with Pro Tools.

Also, I don’t know your video card, but there were problems with El
Capitan and greatly slowed video refresh rates in Pro Tools.

My suggestion would be for you to keep checking with Avid’s
compatibility list until moving forward with Pro Tools 12 and Sierra.
Old adage, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…

Re: Strike

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Martin,

Not that I have found yet.  However, once you are in a location of a
drum such as ch.1, which is the kick, then you can move up and down
and more often than not, you are moving from ch.1, to ch.2 and so on.
Then moving left and right now moves you through that part of the
columnar list.

Keep exploring, and fill me in on if you come up with some great new
epiphanies.  Grin!

Re: Strike

[Sean A. Cummins]

Martin,

To my knowledge, the version is the same.  So preset should be fine.
Most all of the parameters are available, however there’s a massive
number to deal with; you will see that most all of the drums and their
related parameters are in groups label ch.1, ch.2, ch.3 etc.  Using
the item chooser, you can narrow down the list you have to work with
on any given drum by typing in the corresponding Ch value of a drum
you want.  Their Levels, tuning and on and on.

Do some exploring and learn the names of common values such as the
word room, you will see there is the master level, individual drum
rooms and their respective levels.  Learning the visual concept of how
it’s laid out is not as important as realizing that AIR has,
thankfully, labeled an enormous amount of the parameters we can
access.

Re: Nubus Reverb

Hi Slau,

Here are the links.  You will need to go to the product page and look
for “Try it” There you will find an authorization code for Ilok right
on the page.  Then you need to go to the product download link below
and get the plug.

It really does sound nice with just the default setting.

Nubus Reverb

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hello  Slau and All on the PT List,

First off, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy New-year to all on list.

Recently, I downloaded a demo version of the nubus Reverb by
Exponential Audio.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the
plug-in values are visible to Voiceover and are even very intelligibly
well labeled.  As a bonus, there’s not an overwhelming plethora of
settings; making the potential use of such a plug very reasonable.

However, when interacting with most all of the numeric value elements,
they cannot be changed using Voiceover keystrokes.  Some can be
changed, but they are mostly categories such as reverb types, but no
go with all the other values that control the reverb function.

Has anyone else used the Nubus, and had the same experience?  It’s an
exceptional sounding reverb, and I do realize the preset can be saved
as user presets; I just like the ability to dial in parameters if
possible.

Thanks!

Sean

Re: S 3

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau and Listers,

Thus far the S3 is tightly integrated with Pro Tools.  That being
said, the navigation using the S3 is the same as using a keyboard and
track pad, but all in one place.  If Pro Tools talks with either of
those devices, you will be satisfied using an S3.  But as far as any
greater level of verbalization for plug-ins, that will have to be
accomplished via either EuCon presenting the data for Voiceover to see
directly, or a third party programmer creating an interface
application that would allow us to custom define control code being
passed back and forth from software and hardware.

There is exciting hope in both of these regards, but I am not the one
to speak to these possibilities.  I myself have been quietly
advocating for over 3 decades to both hardware and software
manufacturers for greater access in the digital audio work field, and
it’s the usual, 2 steps forward, 1 back,  three steps forward and 2
back etc. etc.

However, I’d like to take this moment to encourage all DAW and control
surface users, and future users, to understand that the HUI and Mackie
protocols have a defined half-life, and will be phased out in the not
too distance future as stated by the companies in the industry.  Many
control surfaces such as the SSL Nucleus, S3, S6 and the list could go
on, are already designed to utilize the EuCon protocol.  Therefore,
many of your investments will not be lost and quickly become obsolete
if they support the EuCon protocol.  EuCon is currently the most
robust as far as system integration and is the future of many
peripheral devices such as the new Avid MTRX I? O, and supported mic
preamps like the Neve 4081.  The Neve 4081will allow for direct
control of the preamps via EuCon directly from Pro Tools channel
strips.  Won’t that be awesome if and when we can see and hear these
controls from within the DAW?

All this to say, there can be more and more universal access if indeed
EuCon is to become accessible just as Avid, Ilok and even Native
Instruments have graciously implemented to date.

The big picture here for everyone to understand, if we are to gain
this level of accessibility, a visually impaired person will be able
to compete in the workforce with technology that is already in a
worksite.  A potential employer would not have to purchase any
additional and costly access technology in order to hire a visually

Avid MTRX

[Sean A. Cummins]

  Hi Slau,

I would assume you have been to the AES conference this week.  When
you have time, I would appreciate any comments you might have on the
following announcement.

As you know, I’m on the cusps of pulling the trigger on my new HD
interface; and low and behold, here’s the Avid MTRX as a new
consideration.  So I have a couple questions of you and or any others
on list that could possibly shed some light on my potential selection.
With regard to the Avid MTRX, the articles I have been reading
reference a couple device managing software, the DADman and the Pro
Mon.  Do you know if we have any access to either of these software
for controlling the I/O?  Also, the articles reference Pro Tools
itself being able to directly access and utilize the I/O’s controls.
Will this be in conjunction with the two previously mentioned
software, or does Pro Tools circumvent the need for the DADman and Pro
Mon software?

Thanks as always!

Sean

Hi,

Does anyone have, or know of who may have presets for any of the
Complete Ultimate components?  I checked Pro Tools with Speech, and
there are none to date.

Thanks!

Re: Where's the mouse?

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi,

OK, I’m on the path to finding out exactly what’s going on with my
system as well.  Like you, sometimes it’s working fine, and then the
next minute, voila!  The mouse is off on its own merry way.  All I
know is that like you, routing the mouse back doesn’t always work.
Stability is so imperative.

I have had sighted help, and when watching me navigate the mouse
pointer, it will often rocket out of Pro Tools and be buried in the
lower right hands side of the Doc and or Desktop.  And moving mouse to
Voiceover, results in the same action.

Perhaps Slau will chime in here with his proverbial words of wisdom!  Grin!

Hi Sean,
I know what you’re talking about but it’s a VoiceOver issue and not a Pro Tools 
thing. What VoiceOver is actually saying is, “Rows (whatever) to (whatever) of 
(whatever) selected.” VoiceOver sees this as a table and when non contiguous 
items in a table are selected, it appears that VoiceOver doesn’t speak 
individual items the way you’re suggesting. Here’s a way to at least bring up a 
list of selected tracks:
1. Interact with the track list table.
2. Bring up the Item Chooser and type the word “selected.”
VoiceOver will narrow down the list to only the tracks that are selected.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Slau, FYI

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau,

Just something I have noticed.  Not any kind of a deal breaker.

In more recent history of Pro Tools development, (and or Voiceover);
the information verbalized has definitely improved.

When utilizing a hot spot on the track list table, Voiceover now
speaks the selected tracks, and this is very cool.  However, the
information verbalized is not necessarily correct.  For example, if
you have selected tracks (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10 through 20) instead of
a completely contiguous range, Voiceover still reports the selection
as being “Tracks 1 through 20 selected.”  One would expect the output
to be more like, “Tracks 1,3,5,7, 9, and 10 through 20 are selected.”

Perhaps this is a suggestion for a feature update for Avid?  But I
don’t know if this is a function of Voiceover exclusively or if this
is a Pro Tools issue.

Again, not a deal breaker, just a FYI. It would improve one big
process of having to verify track selections before performing a major
action on a series of tracks.

Thanks as always for your efforts.

Take Care,

Sean

Hi,

I’m not usually posting much about my own projects here, but since I find it 
interesting to listen to your songs, and share Pro Tools experiences with you, 
I would like to tell you about the music project I run with my girlfriend 
Kathrine. 

We compose, record and mix down the music in our home. Kathrine sings, and I 
play all the acoustic and electronic instruments. We also perform live here in 
Norway. It’s a gift to be able to create music with my partner. 

We are both blind, and I also have a serious hearing impairment on both ears. I 
stream the sound from Pro Tools directly to my hearing aid, both while 
recording and mixing. So I have to trust the sound I hear from my hearing aids, 
and the sound I hear and sense by holding my hands on my Genelec 8040 monitors.

The single “Your hand in mine” was released this Tuesday. It’s a pop/reggae 
song inspired by other genres.

It is currently on Spotify and Amazon, but will appear on iTunes and Apple 
Music, and a number of other services soon.

But we have also posted it on YouTube, to see what response we might get there.

Here is the link: 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSdWjNUWucZ_rQdRshspqPA

Listen and share to your hearts content, we need all the sharing we can get. ;)

Take care, and share the link if you like! ;)

Hi Joy,

I don't think there's any way of changing Control and Option as it relates to 
VoiceOver. However, you can still use Control-Option-Tab by passing through the 
shortcut. First, press Control-Option-Tab once to pass through the next 
shortcut and simply type whatever shortcut you wish. Incidentally, in this 
particular case, it's the exact same shortcut. So, in other words, pressing 
control-Option-Tab twice selects the previous clip.

 Hi Joy,

 Pretty much anything that has automation parameters is going to be
 accessible. The only aspect of virtual plug-ins that is generally not
 accessible is the presets. Once the presets are accessed and saved as
 .tfx files, they can be shared. Incidentally, the Logic sounds can be
 accessed from within Pro Tools by using Soundflower. There are videos
 and tutorials online on how to do this dating back to Pro Tools version
 11. I did it back then and it does work. I haven't done it in a while
 but it's certainly possible. You might want to look into that. Aside
 from Logic's stock sounds, which third party virtual instruments have
 you used in Logic?

A Brave New World With Avid's Pro Tools for Us!

[Sean A. Cummins]

OK gang, this Pro Tools list has been too quiet for a little while.
So time to stir up some old conversations.  As accessibility continues
to become more and more a comprehensive reality thanks to Slau and
others, things may have changed for the better and maybe in the drum
sample player world as well.

Putting our heads together, what do we know for sure regarding working
with drums sample players?  In the past, I lay down a skeletal outline
of drums by loading a drum sample player, load my most appropriate
kits for the genre, and insert MIDI loop such as Groove Monkey MIDI
data only.  From there, I would add or subtract events as needed.
This gives the artist the best foundation to work on their program
material files before hiring the session players to record the final
session tracks.

So, here are the questions for the group.

1.  Are any of you successfully doing what I have described above at all?
2.  What is the most accessible drum sample player Boom, Strike, Tune
Track etc., at least in loading sets of drums samples from third party
such as Steven Slate’s?
3.  What kind of success has anyone had with inserting, editing, or
just plain adding or subtracting events and quantizing data?


Let’s try to get some real experienced people chiming in on this
subject and not theories or loose opinions.  I for one really listen
and respect the time and input from folks that have mastered any given
tasks.  And there’s a lot to say for “long to listen, and slow to
speak.”

I have, in the past, posted a way of creating a drum matrix that
works, but it is slow and very tedious hand building from bottom up!

Let the information begin!  Grin!

Thanks for the response.  Smiley!

I knew the issue with the presets, and that why I thought perhaps
someone else might have had a different experience.

Well, it never hurts to have hope.  Grin!

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with Komplete 10 as far as accessibility?

Also, any opinions of sample libraries that are more accessible than others?

Re: Can any Avid do the job?

[Sean A. Cummins]

FYI: not true...

Before kicking the Avid products, one needs to own and work with it
for a while, and the future is far reaching beyond the project studio
using the EuCon protocol.  The Mackie Control protocol and HUI
protocol have a finite life expectancy and are slowly being fazed out
in the industry.

For what is't worth...

Reverb Plug-ins - AAX Native Or DSP? That Is The Question — Pro Tools Expert

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau.

Firstly, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New year to you and yours!, and
to all on the Pro Tools list!

I'm sure you have seen this article, but for your convenience , here's
the link below.  I'm about to drop the big 10K plus on an HDX, and I
will also be
upgrading my Waves to AAX format.  The author of the artical and some
plus-ins seems to think that VST native is the long run for the
future, and that HDX is not necessarily the way to go.  I hear what he
saying, but I'm not convinced myself.  Just thought I'd get your take
on his thoughts.

Re: Unable to shut down or restart Mac after installing HD Driver on El Capitan.?

Hi Chuck,

I attempted to chased this El Capitan issue down for over a month with
Apple tech support with no good results.

Once I downloaded the latest Pro Tools 12.3.1 and installed the HD
drivers from the 12.3.1 bundle, VOILA!  All's well.  Now my Mac Pro
reboots and shuts down once again.  You might also make sure if you
are using the EuCon protocol, that the 3.3.1 version is installed and
update your control surfaces firmware to the latest immage.

Take Care,

Sean

Re: [SPAM?] Re: unable to delete audio after making selection in Pro Tools 12.3 and OS X 10.11

There is a newer good/bad issue with latter versions of Voicover.  You
can now have quick navigation on or off by pressing the (left arrow
and right arrow) together to toggle on/off the mode.  In order for the
markers to set correctly, you need to have quick nav off.  You might
want to check that.

Hi Sean,

Well, it seems to me that Strike is capable of doing what you're describing
and then some. I have no idea what it costs as a stand-alone plug-in or
whether it's even sold as a stand-alone item. I bought the bundle and never
considered anything less. I'm not sure if it's also available as a demo.
Probably not as it's a sizable download. But as far as "stupid simple," it
hardly gets simpler than pressing play and auditioning patterns by simply
pressing a single MIDI note to generate a pattern and then pressing a
different note to audition a different pattern or variation. It's not the
kind of thing where you choose a pattern and then you can substitute another
kit while playing the same pattern. It's more a matter of choosing a style
and then within that style, you'll have a particular sounding kit and what
you can do is choose various patterns, mix and match the sequences in any
order and you have the ability to add custom hits using the same kit to
supplement the existing patterns. So, to me, it seems like it offers the
very simplest scenario and you can get quite complex.

Of course, for $99, you can get Slate Drums and program basic patterns while
changing kits, more along the lines of what you described and, who knows,
that might end up being the cheaper option.

Cheers,

Slau

Hi Slau,

What I was looking to accomplish, was to be able to use a MIDI keyboard to
input some drum/percussion data if necessary,  but to basically load MIDI
loops/patches into the song structure, and change  drum sets or the
individual drums in a sampled kit.  I'm not looking to do major MIDI
editing.  I'll use Logic or Sonar and export and import if necessary if that
kind of detailing comes up.

All this for setting up song structure whether to keep the MIDI tracks, or
to use as a pilot track for the drummer and or musicians while doing initial
tracking. 

The old adage, simple-stupid-simple works best for work flow.  Grin!  So
would Strike be over-kill, or would it possibly be the best solution in your
opinion?

I haven't done any drum programming because I haven't needed to for any of
my clients, most of whom have drummers or I'd hire players for projects.

Some time ago, I bought the AIR Expansion including seven virtual
instruments. Strike is among them. I took a quick look at strike and played
a few notes, noticed that it had a ton of variations on patterns and didn't
pay it much attention. another thing that at first made me wary was a series
of numbers associated with the factory patches. I assumed these were bpm
designations which really seemed quite limiting. Well, after some recent
discussions, I decided to take a closer look.

the numbers associated with patches are clearly not bpm values and the
patterns within Strike are completely capable of following the session tampo
map. the patterns within strike can be supplemented by individual drum hits
and it's possible to create either incredibly simple patterns or very
complex ones. I noticed that there are six hundred eighty-nine parameters
that can be seen by VoiceOver. The plug-in offers a dizzying array of
possibilities. I've never read the manual but I'm sure it would take some
reading to understand Strike's full potential but, from what I've seen, it's
an outstanding plug-in for drum sequences. To me, it seems if somebody wants
to have one hundred percent control over the smallest detail of a drum
performance, maybe Strike isn't the answer but, if you want that kind of
control, get a drummer to play what you want and, even then, you won't have
control over every aspect of their playing.

Out problem with any plug inside Pro Tools right now is that there's no way
to reveal the UI to voiceover.
The only thing that seems to be available is anything that's automatable.
I would think that the entirety of EZ drummer 2, which heavily relies on
browsers would be completely inaccessible.
What's worth trying though, is to load it up in Pro Tools on Windows and use
different screen reader cursers to try and see if it is accessible enough to
create presets.

EZ Drummer 2

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi All,

does anyone have any experience with EZ Drummer 2 with regard to
accessibility?  The new features look as if they can be very useful for
work-flow, but not if there's no real access.  For example, the use a the
interactive hands for busying-up the feel or the pattern finder is slick,
but can it be use in a practical way via Voiceover or another MIDI input
device?  And the key word here is "practical ".

Otherwise, I'm open to any input as to an accessible package that works well
for use in Pro Tools 12.

Thanks!

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

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau,

Yes you were correct as usual.

I called Sweetwater, and the tech said that this is a common issue where
Avid had not deposited the additional content licenses into the account.  I
thought I would mention it for all on the list to read, because there's no
getting into Pro Tools with out sighted help to temporarily move the
plug-ins to the unused folder until Avid forces the licenses into the Ilok
account.

Folks need to make sure the licenses are on the Ilok before installing the
plug-ins , otherwise, we're stuck!

I had installed Pro Tools 12 a couple months ago, but had not yet installed
the additional contents until Kevin inspired me this morning.  So there for
is Kevin's fault!  How's that for blame shifting!  LOL!

Thanks to you and Kevin for all your continuing help!

Hi Sean,

Those activation windows are most likely prompts for missing authorizations
from what's called the Activation Wizard which is technically coming from
the iLok License Manager. Good news is that, since all the work was being
done to make the ILM accessible, the Wizard is also accessible. Final beta
versions are being compiled at this time and, before you know it, version
2.6 will be available. Hang in there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Install at your own risk.

Re: [Bulk] Pro Tools Dock and s3

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hey Slau,

That's the reason why I you the Avid Ensonic MC transport plus a preSonus 
central station which has the built-in talk back as well. That covers all of 
the issues you mentioned above. Of course, the I/O  that one chooses is 
completely an open field a personal choice.

Take care,

Hi Katie,

The time I spent at AES with the S3 is hardly enough to make any conclusive 
statement. I'd say the fact that Sean and perhaps a few others have used it is 
more of a testament to its usability. BTW, yes, it does have the fader flip 
mode as do all of the Avid surfaces. If you're mixing in surround, you'd 
definitely need another interface to handle the multi-channel output. Further, 
you'd need some sort of monitor controller to handle the routing of those six 
channels to the speakers and the ability to switch between stereo and surround. 
The C|24 has that built in. As far as preamps and monitor 
switchers/controllers, you could spend anywhere from a thousand dollars to many 
thousands, depending on your particular needs and the available brands, etc. 
It's entirely possible that the S3 has at least some facility for surround 
panning but I haven't looked into that at all. The Dock probably only works 
with the Mac in so far as it likely has an Ethernet connection to show up as an 
Ethernet controller in the preferences window. Beyond that, its functionality 
in that regard would probably be limited to transport and scrub/shuttle 
behavior, perhaps some soft key function. I think it's truly meant for use with 
an iPad to take advantage of its full potential. It does make me just a tiny 
bit wary of the longevity of the iPad platform. That said, I'm certain that any 
supported iPad model will likely outlive the Dock itself and, most likely, 
whatever system is running Pro Tools. At best, any surface is only going to 
have a lifespan of, say, 10 to 15 years. Probably most iPads will live that 
long if they're dedicated to the Pro Tools Dock. By that time, one would 
probably move onto whatever the new surface is. Keep in mind that the 
Control|24 had a pretty long run (some 15 years) and still technically works 
just fine with Pro Tools 10. blind users were essentially forced to keep using 
their Control|24s because, when the C\24 was introduced, the current version of 
Pro Tools at that time was not accessible. It would be at least another few 
years before that would happen and a couple more than that before it became a 
viable option for prime-time use. Now that we're at that point, the purchase of 
a control surface becomes a major decision but needs to also be considered in 
the context of the cost of doing business. It's not much different than buying 
a van for your business and either running it into the ground or selling it at 
some point and buying a new one. Hey, there's always the option to lease as 
well, if you're into that kind of thing.

Getting back to the surround question, whether you're going with c|24 or S3, 
you'll still need an interface to output 6 channels (or whatever format) of 
audio. It's going to be expensive. If you're only doing basic stereo and 
recording less than 5 tracks at a time, the S3 alone will suffice. It's that 
surround issue that makes for a costly solution. Probably the hardest thing to 
do is to define, very specifically, exactly what you think you'll need and 
decide which solution will work best for your situation. Wherever possible, 
I'll try to answer any questions I think I might have some answers for but a 
lot of the S3 aspect is still very new to me. I'll probably download the manual 
to start learning a bit more for future reference.

Best,

Slau

RE: Avid S3 or C24 control surface?

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau and Katie,

I have the S3, and the performance with Pro Tools 12 is very tight, and
deeply integrated.  .  I also use the Euphonic MC Transport with the S3
which provides an incredible amount of options for controlling Pro Tools.
Coincidentally, this weekend, I am starting the training with a client on
his workstation my company had configured using the S3 and MC Transport with
Pro Tools 12.

For years I have been recommending and using several differing control
surfaces with VR clients that my company serve, and I firmly believe this is
the future for all DAW programs with regard to the use of EuCon protocol.
Hopefully, EuCon will provide a protocol that will allow for people such as
Tim Burgess, to refine his Surface Reader that can one day support a
comprehensive solution.  This will enable us to work more directly with the
DAW software, and eliminate the loss of access when scripts, operating
systems and DAW software shifts direction.  Standardizing a communication
platform between software and devices, will enable speech output to provide
clear and succinct verbalization that can even be customized by the
individual user.

Slau, I think you will be very pleased by what you see and hear about the S3
at AES.  Talk with the Avid folks about EuCon, and where it's heading.  And
by the way, Unbeknownst to most, EuCon has been implemented in most all of
the major DAW software's; even going back as far as Sonar Producer 8.

Take Care,

Hi Katie,

I know of no blind users with an s3 yet. To be certain, the C|24 is fully
supported and is very accessible but undoubtedly much further along in its
life cycle. It's clearly still supported and will probably be supported for
a few more years but I'd say that 5 years is perhaps pushing it a bit. I'm
not sure. In addition, the s3 is half the price but, as you pointed out,
doesn't necessarily have all of the same features that come in so handy with
the C|24. I'll be at AES this week and will have a chance to take a closer
look at the S3 and, since I have a C|24, might be able to compare/contrast
the two. I'll see if I can paint a fuller picture by next week.

Best,

Slau

I reopened my case with DOR in California, and they will be purchasing this

what we have at the studio, and I'm really familiar with this board. But I
was browsing on Google a couple weeks ago and last night too. I found
information about another control surface made by Avid. I think it was
introduced earlier this year or last year. Its called the Avid S3 control
surface. Have any of you guys used this before, and do you know if this is
accessible with Voiceover? I've never seen the S3 control surface. I've used
the C24 at the studio many times, so I'm very familiar with using that
board.

the S3 doesn't have a lot of audio editing functions though, so I think I'd
have to get the Artist Transport to use for editing and recording. I like
that the C24 includes the transport controls as well as the jog wheel, and
the scrub and shuttle modes all in one unit. Is the Artist Transport a good
device to use for editing?

RE: Avid S3 or C24 control surface?

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau,

Yes, you are correct.  I have integrated several of the SSL Nucleus for
clients, but the S3 is my newest recommendation for the systems I'm
integrating.  The SSL's also utilize the EuCon protocol, so this is the
direction I am guiding my client to pursue for future development of the
Surface Reader. 

The one think folks need to understand, is that the S3 is really strictly a
DAW control surface that can also be used on a local area network.  This
meaning that it can be used in a digital audio/video over Ethernet editing
post production  house.  

There are limited audio ins and out on the S3, so the need for an I/O and
preamp will be necessary for those looking to do multi track recording at
one time.  Though I personally choose to pick the I/O and preamps to my
liking, and don't want to go with "on board" preamps; there is, something to
be said for an all-in-one solution.

  While the MCU is cheaper, my understanding is that the Eucon environment is 
completely accessible. Being an Ethernet controller whose plug-in controls have 
automatically been mapped for Pro Tools, I'd say the Artist is a better choice 
for Pro Tools. As stated earlier, if other DAWs are to be involved, that 
changes everything but I think it's important to clarify one's objectives when 
deciding upon a surface and what role it will fulfill.

  Hi Mac,

  You mention the Icon but I think you're possibly mistaken. I've seen Icon 
surfaces in the $100,000 range. You might be thinking of some other surface. At 
any rate, the Artist series is probably the best for Pro Tools in the $1500 
range. From there, you can go up to a C|24 or S3 or S6 but those will range 
from $5,000 to $20,000. I suspect you're looking in the lower price range.

  A 24-inch screen is plenty for use with Pro Tools, especially if it's for

is my own, solo version, as originally intended—mellower and, let's face it, 
what's a holiday tune without a little schmaltz?
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cckXxjCkLxUfeature=youtu.be

  For what it's worth (and that would happen to be around 99 cents), it's 
available in the iTunes store as well:
  
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/if-every-day-were-christmas/id946585587?i=946585588

  And now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Re: Strange mix window layout

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hey Slau,

I don't know if this will work in 11. but previously in Pro Tools 9. if I 
swiped my finger across the multi touch sensitive mouse from left to right, I 
was able to get the screen to reorganize the grouping of the elements.

Hope this help.

  Hi John,

  Yeah, this sometimes happens and I have absolutely no idea why. Obviously 
it's not a Pro Tools issue itself but in the way VoiceOver perceives the order 
of things. I also seen this in the MIDI Event List window. At some point, I 
went into the window and no longer found the table and thought that something 
got broken in the latest version. Turns out, it was the same issue: the table 
appeared before the pop-up button rather than after it as is normally the case.

   Hi,
   
   I’ve seen this in several versions of PT, but since it’s not a big deal, I 
have not done much to fix it. But some of you might have seen that in some 
situations, the shown tracks in your mix window will for a VoiceOver user 
appear to the left of the window name, and above the “Show/hide” button related 
to the track list. I have tried to press the zoom button to resize the window, 
pressed the “Mix window” button to simplify the layout, closed and reopened the 
mix window to refresh it, but the layout is the same. In some cases, the tracks 
even appear to the left of the close/minimize/zoom buttons.
   
   Again, this is not a big deal, the tracks are there, but the positioning is 
somewhat strange... ;)
   
   If someone know how to fix this, I’d appreciate it.
   
   Best,

Re: method for using voiceover and pro tools on a pro tools HDX system

I install a Plantronics w440 for client to use on their DAWs with speech.  This

  They should be able to work at the same time with no issues providing the OS 
does not use the Pro Tools hardware for playback. Often, people set up their 
computers to categorically use one hardware device for all system sounds 
including applications. In the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, select the Pro tools 
device that is being used for the HDX system, go to the pop-up menu and uncheck 
the option that says something like Use this device for system sounds.

  Subject: a general observation about Pro Tools accessibility  users


  With the recent strides forward in Pro Tools accessibility, I wanted to share 
some thoughts. This is absolutely not referring to anybody in particular but 
rather a trend that we've seen over the years. It first started way back when 
Pro Tools first became accessible under OS 9, happened again when Pro Tools 
8.0.4 came out and now I see it's happening again. With each ramping up of 
usability, there has historically been an influx of new users. When I first 
began using Pro Tools in college back in 1994, I had some usable vision but, 
when I began using it full time in the studio at around 2002, I had spent no 
less than six months reading the manuals. The first time I read the manuals, I 
understood fairly little, even though I had used Pro tools in the past and was 
well-versed in Digital Performer. Things are different in Pro Tools than other 
dAWs and so my level of understanding, while high in DP, was starting off much 
lower in Pro Tools. The second time I read the manual (and it was only about 
900 pages back then as opposed to today's 1,200 pages), I began to see patterns 
and understand certain concepts in a basic way. The third time I read the 
manual (and I'm referring to the Pro Tools Reference Guide, of course), I did 
it while sitting in front of Pro Tools with a control surface. As I read the 
manual, I attempted to follow along and perform the various tasks. It was only 
then that I truly learned Pro Tools. No, actually, I did do one more thing that 
really solidified my understanding of the editing modes and behavior of Pro 
Tools and that was to sit down with some sighted assistance and systematically 
go through editing functions while the person explained what was happening 
visually on screen. That, along with the audio feedback of what I was editing 
solidified my understanding.

  All told, I spent about three months before installing the Pro Tools system 
just reading manuals and nothing else. I did this while still having an analog 
multitrack and console in the control room. I read in the evenings at home and 
kept working full time with the old system while I learned about the new Pro 
Tools software and hardware I was about to use. For me, the stakes were high 
because I was about to transform my studio and workflow entirely. Not only had 
I invested untold thousands in my previous analog system, but my new Pro Tools 
HD investment was roughly $25,000. Again, the stakes were high because this was 
my day job. I was going to work with clients sitting beside me, paying for my 
time and failure was not an option. Others have similar stories and, in each 
case, the ones who succeeded were the ones that lived by the old RTFM principle 
which, for those few who may not know, stands for read the fucking manual. 
Naturally, I write those words with no malice whatsoever. It's just a figure of 
speech but a very poignant phrase in this case for such an undertaking is not 
for the faint of heart. Need I point out the fact that, apart from the weighty 
Reference guide, there are multiple tomes for various aspects of hardware and 
software related to using Pro Tools. A peek in the documentation folder will 
reveal the plethora of reading choices.

  Now, there are obviously people on this list who use Pro Tools on a daily 
basis with clients and there are those who just want to record their own 
projects. The requirements for either type of person will vary accordingly and 
the knowledge level of each will be commensurate to their stake in the game. 
That includes their investment and what they need to get out of their system. 
As one of the people who falls into the second category, I have to say that 
it's clearly in my best interest from a time management standpoint to help 
raise the proficiency level of everybody so that I can spend less time 
answering very basic questions. Of course, that's already happened over the 
years and there are more and more people gaining the knowledge necessary to 
help new users with these basic issues. To be honest, I'm finding myself in the 
same boat, albeit on a higher level, having to learn about new features that 
weren't around when I learned Pro Tools so many years ago. For a considerable 
amount of time, Pro Tools moved on and many of us were stuck on an old version, 
missing out on those new features. Suddenly, we're finding ourselves facing the 
prospect of revisiting the RTFM process. As with most endeavors, one reaps what 
one sews. I, for one, am embarking on yet another marathon of reading the Pro 
Tools manuals and I encourage others to do the same.

  While it is certainly a simple matter to create a Pro Tools session, create a 
track and record-enable it, that is so much so only the 

Seasons Greetings

[Sean A. Cummins]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

Re: Bouncing stems

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hey Scott,

Just a jump in here on my part.

When it comes to using a mastering house, you really need to know the 
individuals work, and have a very close work relationship the the engineer.

Using stems is a very open ended license for someone to take deep and radical 
liberties with the artist work.  I'm not saying it's bad, just a large leap of 
faith, if you don't know their work intimately.  And of course, this can also 
typically lead to higher cost for the artist with mixes being redone, over and 
over, until you or the artist's are please with the results.

Just a thought.

Keepin' The Groove,

Sean A.

  We've always just sent mixes so far. The songs that are being mixed at

  thinking about it. It's all a bit tight timeframe wise, but maybe I'll
  grab stems of these and see how that goes if we finish ahead of

   So far as I know, there's not a quicker way than soloing the stuff you
   want to be in a particular stem (EG drums), bouncing those, then
   soloing the tracks that'll make up the next stem, bouncing those and
   so forth. Presumably if you're sending off stems to master then you've
   already mixed it, so your mix groups might take out some of the button
   bashing between bounces, but whatever way I look at it realtime bounce
   drives me up the wall lol. Make sure you're start times are the same
   each for each bounce even if there's just blank space at the beginning
   on some of them, so that everything lines up neatly for your mastering

the matter. I am a screen reader user and just starting out learning about 
recording and PT and such so the more user friendly and less complicated the 
better.

  thanks much

Hey guys,

I couldn't make it the first two weeks because of sessions. Today, we had a 
wake for my mom. I would've loved to participate. Looking forward to taking 
part in future gatherings.


Cheers,

Hi Frank,

While this sounds like a good idea at first, I can see how it might not work 
out too well. First of all, there will undoubtedly be plenty of people who 
are familiar with how dAWs work who will be utterly disinterested in many 
beginning subjects whereas new comers, not only to Pro Tools but to DAWs 
will want to listen and learn and much of what is being said will be over 
their heads. There needs to be a plan in place for an orderly progression of 
subjects covered thoroughly so that everyone can just tune into what 
interests them. This sounds like a very simple idea: start at the top and 
just go forward. I can't tell you how huge an undertaking this is. Of 
course, one can rush in and just do things haphazardly but, I think, will 
find that it's much more complicated than that and certainly much more work. 
Hey, don't let me discourage you from trying but I do think, for good 
results, one has to plan and do it right. Hey, maybe everyone on the list 
feels differently. Chime up, folks.

Hi Trahern,

You'll see the other message where I posted the link below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3016244/Pro%20Tools%20Shortcuts.pdf

In principle, I have nothing against speaking with people over the phone, 
however, you see, if I were to do that for everyone who asks, I'd spend 
quite a bit of time saying the same things over and over again. Since 
there are many subscribers to this list who would also likely benefit 
from your questions, it would really be helpful for everyone if we 
discussed things on list, not only for current users but people browsing 
the archives and searching online. For that matter, perhaps others can 
chime in with suggestions or facts that I might overlook.


I would like to start a weekly hour long conference call that would also 
be podcasted for questions and demos related to pro tools accessibility. 
I will host the call if people will show up and ask their questions.  I am 
new to pro tools so I have a lot of questions right now also.  I think 
that being able to go back and forth verbally is often a lot easier then 
email for some people including myself.  Is this something that people 
would participate in?  If so are afternoons or evenings ,US eastern, 
better for people?  Right now Monday's and Thursday's are the most open 
days for me.  I can do a call starting at 3:00.  What do people think?


Take care

Hi Jon,

VoiceOver doesn't automatically read selective items within a window. 
Imagine this: You have a window with 20 parameters being displayed among 
other things like a pop-up menu for insert, plug-in type, factory default, 
etc. When you change one of the 20 parameters by using the seventh encoder 
knob on the control surface which happens to coincide with the third 
parameter in the plug-in, well, you can imagine that such integral 
functionality can only be achieved through scripting of a screen reader or 
having a purpose-written application running in the background.


What you can do, however, is use VoiceOver to go to each subsequent 
parameter while changing values and using VO-f3 to check the values. For 
that matter, it's almost just as easy, once you're on a parameter, to simply 
change it with VoiceOver. Where a control surface is truly fast and 
efficient, however, is when you get to know the plug-in you're working with 
and you can simply tweak an encoder knob to get the result you seek. Rather 
than worrying about the difference between a ratio of 2.5 to 1 versus 2.6 to 
1, one can use the encoder knobs the way knobs have been used for decades on 
outboard gear and that's by ear. Of course, even with outboard gear, a blind 
user would need to acquaint themselves with the function of each knob, its 
range, etc. Using encoder knobs on a control surface is hardly different. 
The difference is in the consistency of getting the encoders to reflect the 
parameters rather than pan or send values but that's a matter of knowing 
one's control surface and being able to recreate steps consistently.

OH, and by the way, it is primarily intended to be a major control surface, 
and an audio interface secondly.

Agreed, presumably if your comfortable with the amount of i/o it allows, 
its not going to be a solution for tracking bands really on its own. The 
only thing is, would you be guaranteed the plugs would play nice with 
Voice Over, because looking at it, that seems to be a big selling point 
for the package. I myself would quite enjoy having some SSL plugs 
sometime.

Looks like a great solution for a personal studio. Let us know how it

Hi Guys,

I haven't contributed as of yet, but I feel it's timely now.

I am awaiting the arrival of a Nucleus -Solid State Logic 16-Channel DAW

This should prove to be an excellent choice for a control surface for 
Pro Tools 9 and accessibility.

Subject: control surfaces


Hello

So from what I gather people on this list either have a 003 or a c24 or 
both?  If anyone else has a surface they are using can you please write 
about it a little.  I am trying to decide on one but I'm not sure what 
to get.  I am still up in the air over weather or not to get an analog 
console. I think having saved state of all parameters is winning me over 
to not having a real analog desk but I still have yet to try working 
with a surface.  After working with pro tools for a few weeks I have 
been able to make okay mixes just from the qwerty board but it takes 
quite a bit of time. How easy is it to pop back and forth between 
plugins on different tracks and not get lost remember which track and 
plugin your tweaking? Can you easily hit a series of key strokes to 
control a plugin that was already the active one?  I want to find ways 
to minimize Alex speaking to me.  I find it really disrupting hearing 
speech while trying to listen to audio.


Thanks for your help.
