Re: Can I add my Yamaha motif es6 as another keyboard to pro tools?

[Steve Martin]

What you will need to figure out  is if pro tools supports external MIDI or 
playing sounds on external MIDI Devices.  You will also need to connect the 
analog outs of the Yamaha keyboard to the analog in of your audio interface and 
record the sounds to an audio track. 
If pro tools supports sending MIDI out an external device then you can make 
this happen.

Re: I/O Routing question.

[Steve Martin]

If you want to use the amp for input but monitor through your studio monitors, 
you will need to set the amp as the input device and the audio interface that 
the monitors are plugged into as your output device. I don’t remember if PT 
allows you to set a different input device and output device  or if you will 
need to create an aggregate device to do this. However if you set your amp as 
the input and output device, you can just plug  headphones into the amp (if it 
has a headphone jack) to monitor pro tools. Otherwise if the amp doesn’t have 
an headphone jack it will. Then probably all come out the amp’s speaker in 
which case I imagine headphones will sound better.

Re: Amplitube 5 in PT

[Steve Martin]

IK Multimedia’s software is generally not very accessible. For something 
similar, STL Tone’s AmpHub should be accessible. I also use a lot of the plug 
in Alliance amp sims, but a lot of those are individual amps and not a suite 
with the exception of RockRack. I think plug in alliance is running some kind 
of buy 2 get one free sale at the moment with plug ins costing $29.
If you are into the heavier side of things Otto Audio’s II II II II or eleven 
eleven as its called is worth a look and there is always a 50% off code that 
will work for it it seems.

Re: Does anyone know if this is accessible, even if it means getting NKS presets? Fwd: 👑 The King of Harmonizers: H3000 Factory

[Steve Martin]

While I won’t disagree that singin the harmonies will always get you the best 
results, I think Harmony Engine can be quite convincing in a mix. It does 
provide plenty of options for altering timing and pitch both globally an per 
voice in addition to formant control as well. Yes, the inflection will be 
transferred to all voices but there is still plenty to work with to get great 
results in a pinch. Also with it’s Midi  in capabilities you can really 
customize the harmonies. It’s also a useful tool for working out Harmonies 
before tracking them yourself.

Re: Does anyone know if this is accessible, even if it means getting NKS presets? Fwd: 👑 The King of Harmonizers: H3000 Factory

[Steve Martin]

If you want authentic sounding harmonies, Harmony engine is still my favorite. 
Izotope’s Nectar gives good results but I haven’t tried nectar 3 yet for 
accessibility. Other notable mentions are Izotope’s Vocal synth and QuadraVox 
or Octo Vox from Eventide, however those aren’t as realistic sounding.

Load harmony engine as a stereo instance on a track and use the Volume and pan 
controls for each voice for best results.

Sometimes too just Doing VO F1 twice and seeing if there are other windows like

often find the culprit.

Re: Advice for a good VO compatible 12, 14 og 16 band parametric EQ

[Steve Martin]

Oddly enough PRO Q will give you up to 24 bands and each band can basically be 
whatever you want it to be.  Parametric, dynamic, hP, Lp,  HS, LS etc etc. so 
not a graphic but plenty of controls for mastering though. 
Never tried it in PT though but was accessible in other  DAWS.

Re: TC helicon

[Steve Martin]

My guess a VoiceLive. Now whether its the VoiceLive 2 or 3 that you’d have to 
ask him. Seem to remember once hearing that the 2 menus  didn’t wrap and was 
documented, where as the 3 menu’s wrapped around so was a bit more of a pain 
from an access stand point.

Re: About macbook pro with touch bar

[Steve Martin]

For Voiceover and things like Volume control you don’t have to use the Touch 
Bar. You can do VO+FN and the number 2 for example instead of VO F2. Also VO 
plus and minus will turn the volume up and down. For non VO things you will 
have to use the Touch Bar Function keys though, Also to turn VO on/Off you can 
do Command and triple press the power button.

Re: pro tools and reaper

[Steve Martin]

You can just record it in pro tools and bounce each track out as an audio file 
and then they just have to import the audio files  in reaper on windows.

Re: graphics processing unit and Pro Tools

[Steve Martin]

One way to check this is to open activity monitor and do task you normally do 
and plan to do on the new machine and look if any of it uses the GPU. Activity 
monitor should be found the utilities folder.

Re: How do y'all use Mac with touch screen function keys

[Steve Martin]

VO functions can be done with the number row and the FN key. Also stuff like 
the volume and turning Voiceober on/off have shortcuts that doesn’t rely on the 
TouchBar. You should consult the VoiceOver documentation for details on using a 
TouchBar  Mac as a VoiceOver user. 
Or you can plug in a USB or bluetooth keyboard.

Re: demos of microphones and audio interfaces in the dropbox folder for people looking for new equipment to replace my Digi 003

[Steve Martin]

There is a guy on youtube who is already doing what you would like. 
https://youtu.be/tUXIsOg1Oi0

Check out his channel for reviews on the specific interfaces and i am sure 
he’ll have a review of the scarlet MKIII  at some point. 
Also a more informal demo comparing the U-Phoria 404HD, the Scarlet 2i4 MKII 
and the zoom l12.

Re: Help with Pro Tools First and VoiceOver

[Steve Martin]

Once again, probably committing blasphemy on the pro Tools list, but have you 
looked at GarageBand. It may fit the bill for what you need on a budget. 
Control surface support is rather limited though but for a one time upgrade fee 
of $199 there is Logic and you will have much greater variety of controller 
support than you will have in Pro Tools, and more flexibility with editing 
workflows over GarageBand,  Regarding Pro Tools Your First Purchase will be 
$599 if you buy it outright and that covers a year of updates then you  can 
renew the license yearly for as little as $99. There is student discount 
available as well both for logic and pro tools so that’s also an option if it 
applies in your case.  

If you already have a Mac GarageBand is free so grab it and check out the 
GarageBand section of https://logic.band  and see if it 
works for you.

Re: Keyboard

[Steve Martin]

Press VO+K nd see if it starts keyboard help. If so make sure all the keys are 
what you think they are. Press VO+K again or press escape. If this is a laptop 
you can enter Keyboard help with a 4 finger double tap on the trackpad as well. 
Do a VO+F2 Twice Quickly to make sure you don’t have a hidden window starting 
that the keyboard needs some kind of permission to proceed.  Hopefully one of 
those will get you going in the right direction.

Re: nnew mac, and protools 2019.5

[Steve Martin]

THos e specs should be plenty powerful, Though if you can spare the cash I’d 
max out the  RAM for no reason than future proofing. Also don’t forget you will 
probably need an external drive or two depending on what kind of work you plan 
to do.

Re: Accessible drum plug-in

[Steve Martin]

Probably not what you were thinking of re accessible drum plug in, but price 
wise for what some of the drum plug ins cost you will probably be in the same 
ballpark price wise. Logic is a worthwhile tool to any blind producers toolbox 
as its drummer plug in is intuitive and accessible. Couple that with logic’s 
built in feature for sample replacement/augmentation  with it’s own sample 
library or a 3rd party library of your choosing  providing you have access to 
wav files and don’t mind spending a little time mapping them out once, and you 
got quite an accessible tool even if thats all you use if for and discard it as 
a DAW. That being said there are scripts out there for Superior Drummer 2 (I 
don’t think they were able to script 3) and I am not sure if those scripts work 
on EZ Drummer or not.

Re: Music composition with ProTools question

[Steve Martin]

I am under the same impression of KK’s implementation being more in-depth and a 
bit simpler with logic. But yeah the fact that its basically useless 
accessibility wise without a KK keyboard and you can’t use it with any of the 
many audio effects that are now NKS compatible on an audio track has kept me on 
the fence thus far.

Re: Music composition with ProTools question

[Steve Martin]

Editing is more intuitive in pro tools but can be done in logic if you take the 
time to learn its workflow. Multi track recording is still a bit more annoying 
than it should be from an accessibility standpoint but no real issues if you 
are only recording one track at a time.  If you are a guitarist like me and not 
a keyboard player or keyboard drummer logics Drummer instrument is hands down 
one of the best and easiest way to program realistic drums and logic even has a 
Drummer sample and or replace tool built in so you can do sample replacement or 
augmentation without needing a  third party plug in. If you already own Pro 
Tools and KK probably no real reason to get logic but I will say for my taste 
personally  9 times out of 10 when a friend who tracks something for me using 
KK sends me the audio of the KK sound they use and a midi file, I will end up 
using one of logics soft synth with the midi file over the Printed KK sound as 
I think it sounds better in the track.

 Hi all,
 
 OK, so I have not posted much into this group, but I’d like to hear your 
 opinions.
 I’ve got Logig Pro X installed, and I have been thinking about installing 
 ProTools and try to learn it. But, when it comes to music creation, may 
 Logic Pro X be a better alternative?
 I read some posts on the net that some musicians prefer Logic especially 
 when composing music and ProTools for editing and mastering.
 So, what do you think?
 I want to be able to compose music with my ideas.
 Many thanks and best regards,

Re: Changing pitch

[Steve Martin]

I used to do this in reaper with Elastic Pitch, and if memory serves correct PT 
has the elastic algorithm as well, so there is probably  a way to do this 
directly from the track itself. I remember using Elastic time in PT that way to 
snap drum loops to the project tempo since I couldn’t import them through the 
workspace area back then. Alternatively depending on which plug in package you 
have along with PT Pitch or TEC will probably do it as well. Also keep an eye 
on Waves sales as soundShifter is a useful tool to keep around for such things 
also worth the $29 if you can grab it at that price.

I noticed the same issue in both GarageBand and Logic. Disabling Hints did

Hey Rene,

Can you confirm if you have VO hints turned on or not? I remember when I 
noticed this most people I knew never saw the issue. When I thought figured out 
hints was causing it I was never able to confirm if the ones who never saw it 
disabled VO hints.

Re: strange question maybe off topic

[Steve Martin]

Did you try disabling VO hints? I seem to remember an issue where the hints 
were visible on screen and that was what was causing issues like that. That 
being said you may have to restart or something after disabling. As I don’t 
remember it clearing out immediately upon just disabling hints. I didn’t have 
FloTOols installed at the time  when I noticed it on a freshly installed 
machine. I assume you are still on High Sierra? I remember seeing it there but 
don’t recall if I did when I did a clean install of Mojave.

Re: Mac Mini - Question to all MacBook users

[Steve Martin]

If I understand correctly Ultimate hardware these days are more about having 
more than 32 I/o and super low latency. As there isn’t a lot of AAS DSP plug 
ins available I don’t know how much they are using it for that unless they are 
using  lot of stock plug ins. That being said, D Native CPU can run more plug 
in instances now than a lot of the DSP solutions can when they are maxed out, 
and modern Thunderbolt interfaces are in the same vein latency wise as Ultimate 
hard. The only limitation you will still have is not getting more than 32 
inputs and outputs with regular Pro Tools, and of course the features that are 
found in Ultimate only. So even if you aren’t using an ultimate system you 
should still have plenty of CPU headroom in a High Spec’ed computer.

Re: Mac Mini - Question to all MacBook users

[Steve Martin]

Yes you can use an apple adapter to emulate the Mac mini being plugged into a 
monitor so you can. Use it headless. That being said John was asking about an 
external GPU which is a graphics card connected externally to the computer via 
Thunderbolt 3. I imagine for protools use If you aren’t doing a lot of video 
processing you should be fine. ProToolsExperts recently ran an article about 
someone going from an old cheese grater Mac Pro to a new 2018 mini and having 
good results, though I can’t remember if an EGPU was part of their external 
peripherals but probably worth a read anyways I you are considering a Mac mini. 
Oh and the thing Universal audio doesn’t want you to know is you can run way 
more plug ins on a native modern CPU without taxing it than you can run on 
their platform before you run out of processing power.

Re: Question to all MacBook users

[Steve Martin]

I have a thunderbolt hub Thats a few years old that I connect to my 2017 MBP 
with the apple thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter. (Thunderbolt 1 and 2 are 
backwards compatible) If its just for Ephernet, keyboards, iLok and etc, You 
can find a USB-C dock with 100 watt pass through for power so you can power 
your laptop and have all those things plugged in for not much money. Soundcards 
I  would connect directly with aUSB-c to USB adapter or thunderbolt 2 to 
thunderbolt 3 adapter depending on what interface you have. Drives I would 
connect directly as well or put them on their own hub. If they are USB3 
external drives a USB-C hub should be sufficient, just get one of the ones with 
the 10GB maximum throughput.

Re: question.

[Steve Martin]

If you have the original 6i6, then yes it won’t work with the iOS control app. 
If you have the 6i6 MKII then it will. Regarding the Art Tube MP, as someone 
else stated run the art output low and turn up the gain on the scarlet. Running 
short cables could help also.  Depending on the plug socket type used it can be 
easy to pull out. Some devices will have a loop on the back next to the power 
socket for you to run the power cable through before plugging it in so it won’t 
be as likely to be unplugged. If its anything like the 2i4 then there isn’t a 
power button.

Re: focusrite scarlette 8I6

[Steve Martin]

I have used the 2i4 a bit and briefly the Scarlet solo. The 6i6 as I understand 
it is the 2i4 with 2 more line inputs and digital I/o. Unlike the 2i4 however, 
the 6i6 requires drivers. (The 2i4 doesn’t and as a result is quite accessible 
since all I/O task are handled from with in the DAW), and it has physical 
buttons for switching  the line inputs between line and instrument right on the 
device. It appears the 6i6 doesn’t and you will have to switch between line and 
instrument in the Focusrite Control software., That being said, Focusrite 
support is good about Remoting into your system to help you set stuff up if 
needed, but if you want to record  say a guitar or bass through the DI often it 
can be a pain having to switch via software. That being said, the iOS app 
worked decently well for stuff like that with the Clarett range and the 6i6 
looks to use the same iOS app for control, however you will need sighted 
assistance to pair the iOS app to the app running on your Mac at least once. 
This may be blasphemous  to some but I have to  mention if you don’t need the 
digital I/O the Behringer U-Phoria 404HD is about $100 cheaper and comparable 
in sound to the scarlet unit.  It has 4 Mic Press which can be also used as 
line or instrument inputs. The line/instrument level switch, the pad, and 
phantom power are all physical buttons on the unit and no software or drivers 
are required, it is very stable and runs rock solid even down at 32 samples 
when tracking with low latency. The only other caveat is that the 404HD only 
has one headphone jack where the 6i6 has 2. I have sound examples comparing the 
two units side by side if interested.

Re: ProTools and short-cut

[Steve Martin]

If I remember correctly and Slau can correct me on this as I am not a pro tools 
daily user anymore, but I think the playhead has to be engaged for up and down 
arrows to work. As in if you aren’t actually playing something up and down 
arrows won’t mark a selection start and end points.

Re: ProTools and short-cut

[Steve Martin]

Agreed with Martin here, my first thought too was that quick nav is on. It 
sounds like he is using up and down arrows to make the selection while voice 
over is off which means quick nav would be disabled. I am guessing Slau that 
you are intrupretting it as  Steve turning VoiceOver off then on again and then 
miraculously the selection works with up and down arrows, which if thats the 
case then yes the issue wouldn’t be quick nav being on. Maybe Steve can clarify 
which it is?

Re: Addictive drums 2 in Pro Tools

[Steve Martin]

I believe Addictive drums is useable if you have the add on for Complete 
Control and use it with one of those setups. I have not ever gotten any of IK 
multimedia’s software to work accessibly in Logic or Reaper so I can’t imagine 
you would have much success in ProTools.

Re: Hello, is it possible to email recorded tracks? If so whites the process? Thank you very much.

[Steve Martin]

Put it in your dropbox folder and right click on it with VO+Shift+M and select 
copy dropbox link and then paste that link into an email, iM, iMessage/text 
message etc etc. Other outer is to create a folder in your dropbox folder, 
share the folder with the person you want to get the file (they will also have 
to have a dropbox account) and then when you copy the file into that folder it 
will show up on their computer too.

Copy the mp3 in finder and paste it into the body of the email you are sending 
the person. 
It will be sent as an attachment. Alternatively you can right click on the file 
in finder with VO+Shift+M and go to the share sub menu and select email. It

 There are a lot of ways to do this, and it depends on a couple things.
 
 First, are you looking to share individual tracks from a session to 
 collaborate with another person, or are you looking to email a mix down of 
 the session?
 
 If looking to share a mix down, is MP3 a viable choice, or do you require 
 to send uncompressed for further edits by the recipient?
 
 MP3 is usually small enough for email, whereas WAV or AIFF are usually too 
 big. If size is an issue, Dropbox is the best option.
 
 Let me know what you wish to do, and I can help further.

Re: Mike level or what?

[Steve Martin]

The reason I suggested the trim plug in is because from what I remember about 
those mixers, they aren’t the cleanest  and most Hi gain preamps. Also that 
mixer has combo jacks so if he is plugging in an XLR cable it should be going 
straight to the mic pre.  Only if he is plugging in a quarter inch cable would 
he have to select between instrument and line level. The question then is what 
mic is he using? Is it going through an external Mic Pre first or direct into 
the mixer? If its a low output dynamic like an SM7 or similar then he may need 
something like a Cloudlifter or similar gain boosting device to get the level 
up D

Re: Mike level or what?

[Steve Martin]

If you aren’t getting enough gain out of the mic pre when you turn the mic pre 
up, you can insert a trim plug in on the first insert slot and use that to add 
some more gain. Use the meters as Slau pointed out to make sure you are not 
adding too much .

Re: Does Osara conflict with Flo Tools

Nope, you are replacing reapers KeyMap. It affects nothing but reaper. No other

their various Accessibility scripts with no issues.

Re: protools 2018-12 and mohave

[Steve Martin]

Neither Logic nor Pro Tools uses VST. Pro Tools uses a format known as AAX and 
Logic uses a Format known as AU or AudioUnit. Most plug in vendors that make a 
VST will have an AAX or AU version of their plug in. Reaper is accessible on 
both Mac and windows and will let you use VST’s. On Windows you can use 
Samplitude as well.

Re: control surfaces

[Steve Martin]

As Ricky pointed out, any of the avid controllers are gonna be your best bet. 
Anything not made by Avid  or an Avid owned company is gonna be using HUI 
protocol and that is limiting compared to Avid control Surfaces. If you can’t 
afford an Avid surface the PreSonus FaderPort 8 or 16 are probably your best 
bet. There should be some documentation on the FaderPort or some of the Avid 
surfaces in the PT Access DropBox.

Re: questionsabout the focusrite clarette 4pre, and the focusright scarlette 2I4

[Steve Martin]

I have friends that own the Clarett 4 Pre and the Scarlet 2i4. The only 
difference between the 2i4 and 2i2 is the extra pair of outputs on the back of 
the unit. The app on the Mac is not accessible however You can use the iOS app. 
A little tricky for certain things but definitely useable. However you will 
need eyes to pair the iOS app to the Computer app before the iOS app can 
control your  interface. Also while the iOS app should now work with the 
Scarlet MKII series of interface I have only ever used the app with Clarett 
interfaces, a 8 PreX and a 4Pre, so I can’t speak to how it works with the 
scarlet interfaces. If you have any specific questions regarding the hardware 
layout.  Reply back and I can find out for you. I should see the Clarett 4Pre 
again in couple weeks also. 
Also Focusrite support is very good about removing into your system to help you 
set up the software and save routing presets. The presets can be loaded 
accessibly with a screen reader once saved. 
 If you can’t afford the apogee element line of interfaces (I think the apogee 
iOS app is a bit easier/more straight forward to use, and it automatically 
pairs so no eyes needed for that process) then the Claret 4 pre is the option I 
would look at for sure

Re: interesting Situations

[Steve Martin]

If I may attempt to simplify everything thats been said.  On most modern 
interface you should be able to get enough gain for a dynamic mic. Yes with a 
Condenser mic you won’t need as much gain. Also in reaper You can use item 
volume to turn  up or down the volume of the individual item, this is found in 
the Item properties dialog. (This is the equivalent to clip gain in pro tools ) 
(In Reaper they are called items what pro tools calls clips.) In reaper there 
are also volume plug ins that work similarly to how the trim plug in works in 
pro tools. As for compressor, just use the stock ReaComp or the stock Pro Tools 
compressor for now. Don’t worry about  styles and types of compressors until 
you are more comfortable with compressors and you know what a compressor does. 
Stock compressors are made to work reasonably well in pretty much any 
situation. Lastly in my opinion, ditch the mixer and get an inexpensive audio 
interface like the Behringer 404HD. Interfaces are a much simpler affair and 
less knobs to get lost in like a mixer. I recommend the 404HD as its has a lot 
of physical controls and doesn’t rely on software to do certain things. The 
202HD and the 204HD are also good if you don’t need as many inputs and the 1820 
is great if you need more inputs.

Re: Renewing my Protools plan support.

[Steve Martin]

I thought I saw somewhere that the BF 20% off coupon couldn’t be used to renew 
subscriptions.  Also if you check a certain popular auction site you may find 
sellers who may possibly still have stock of vouchers with the coupon still 
valid.

Re: Function Keys With Touch Bar: Changed From good USB type C audio interface that is accessible as I need to buy a new mac

[Steve Martin]

Actually you may be right on that one, but you can iswitch it so that the 
TouchBar displays the function keys by default so you don’t have to press FN to 
get to them. That being said 1 through 4 is right above the numbers on the 
number row so I pretty much developed muscle memory to hit those and escape 
5 and up seem to be offset by one  so if you are a touch typist the finger you 
would normally use to hit 6 will hit 5 on the function row.  Hopefully that 
will make it slightly less annoying. Though given how much pro tools rely on 
the NumPad I am surprised you are using the laptops keyboard with PT enough.

Re: Editing a long take

Yeah, use tab to move to where the singing starts then when you find where you 
want to edit use CMD+E to split the wave file there.

Re: Editing a long take

[Steve Martin]

Tab to transient may be useful here.  Every time you are at the start of where 
its blank for a while if you tab to the next transient it should place you 
where he starts singing again and if needed you can rewind a little to place 
the split.

Re: good USB type C audio interface that is accessible as I need to buy a new mac

[Steve Martin]

The 15” MacBook pros only have the touch bar, however when using voiceover you 
can press the FN key to use the normal number keys as Function keys. Also VO+ 
the minus and plus keys will turn system volume up and down so you don’t have 
to mess with the touch bar to use those either.

Re: good USB type C audio interface that is accessible as I need to buy a new mac

[Steve Martin]

You would need. A double dongle solution to make it work you will need the 
firewire to thunderbolt adapter, and then connect the thunderbolt end to the 
thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 adapter. Think of the ports on the MacBook Pro 
as Thunderbolt 3 ports which also support USB-C.  Since the USB-C and 
Thunderbolt 3 cable has the same connectors even though the cable themselves 
are  different.

Re: good USB type C audio interface that is accessible as I need to buy a new mac

[Steve Martin]

Personally I’d opt for the 15” pro over the 13” pro laptop. The 15” pros has 
the advantage of quad or 6 pro processors and discrete graphics. That being 
said, There are very few actual USB-C interfaces on the market most of the 
USB-C interfaces are really just USB 2 interfaces with a USB-C cable to connect 
easily to the new computers. Given that you have a 003, and if pro tools is 
still your main DAW why not get the appropriate dongles so you can continue 
using the 003. Otherwise I’d advise a Thunderbolt interface wit along with the 
thunderbolt to Thunderbolt 3 dongle. The only company I can think of off hand 
that actually makes a thunderbolt 3 interface is the Universal Audio Apollo. 
Which is a 2 in 2 out interface with two mic/line combo jacks for the inputs. 
So since there is no actual USB-C interfaces and thunderbolt interfaces still 
require a dongle with newer USB-c/Thuderbolt 3 computers I’d probably hold off 
a little bit longer unless you really want to get rid of your 003.

Re: A good Vocal Removal Tool on Protools?

[Steve Martin]

Also Waves center may be another good option, haven’t tried it but from the 
description seems like it could be a possibility. And if you catch it on one of 
the waves $29 sale, its probably not a bad utility tool to have in the toolbox.

Re: A good Vocal Removal Tool on Protools?

[Steve Martin]

This video from Joe gilder shows a way to do this in Pro Tools for free. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoTT1uuFwSg 

These days izotope RX 7 does a pretty good job at this as well but that is 
quite pricey . Also, Youtube, Apple Music, Spotify or anywhere else you get 
your music these days usually has a wealth of karaoke versions available just 
search for the song you want and karaoke and you may be surprised what you 
find.

Re: recommendations for control surfaces and audio interfaces

[Steve Martin]

The Clarett series has an iOS app that was quite usable  and Focusrite support 
remotes into my system and help set up some stuff as well.  I don’t know  if 
the red series of interfaces use the Focusrite control software or iOS app like 
the scarlet and clarets range does. Probably a good question to direct  to 
Focusrite Support.

Re: recommendations for control surfaces and audio interfaces

[Steve Martin]

I can’t speak to the C24 or surfaces in general since I have never used Pro 
Tools with one, and haven’t used pro tools much in the last few years. However 
I’d say go with the red 4 over the Omni, its more modern and has gotten some 
great reviews.  I owned a Clarrett once and its was very nice, and the red 
series is supposed to be the next step up from those.

Re: recommendations for control surfaces and audio interfaces

[Steve Martin]

The latest version of Pro Tools and MacOS should be fine, however you will need 
to check Avid’s compatibility list to see if your Project Mix is still 
supported. Regarding Hard drive size, Well if you want to keep everything on an 
internal hard drive, get the biggest one you can. However I’d suggest you max 
out the ram if you can and get and external HD or two if the internal Drive 
gets too pricey. If you already plan to store all your recordings and samples 
and etc on external hard drives you could probably get away with as little as a 
256GB internal drive.

Re: Pro tools rig help

[Steve Martin]

I owned the Thunderbolt Clarett for a while and i believe its the same except 
for the USB connection. The iOS app worked well at the time but the desktop app 
was not accessible. Focusrite was good about remoting into my machine to help 
me set up a few presets since I could load them independently. Also the iOS app 
requires your phone and mac to be on the same Wi-Fi network and has to be 
accepted from with in the desktop app. That will also require sighted 
assistance to pair them and once again FocusRite support will remote in to do 
that for you.

Re: Pro tools rig help

[Steve Martin]

For audio/music production, you probably won’t need any of the features in 
Ultimate/HDX so I wouldn’t worry about that. They have moved enough into 
regular pro tools over the years. Audio interface wise given that you are 
running an old “CheeseGrator” Mac Pro from the sounds of things, that pretty 
much eliminates any of  the modern thunderbolt options which would of been your 
best best for high resolution and low latency. The USB versions of the 
Focusrite Clarett will probably be my recommendation in that regards. The 
Clarett 4 Pre is the sweet spot in the line up in my  opinion.

Re: Mixing my Vocal track

[Steve Martin]

Yeah thats the issue with that trick is it can phase sounding. The trick really 
is to lower the vocals so that its just a hint of the left and right vocals to 
fill things out more so than keeping them close in volume to the center vocal.  
Sometimes if works better say if you  copy the second chorus to the first 
chorus, duplicate it and pan that left and right and then slightly pitch shift 
that, but that relies on the second chorus being sang well enough that it 
tightly lines up with the first chorus in order for that to work.  Sometimes 
too if they did multiple takes of a part you can use one of the other takes as 
well once again providing that it lines up tightly with the main vocal.

Re: Mixing my Vocal track

Not aware of a demo, however the scripts in the dropbox folder has the steps to 
follow when using the scripts. You can grab a demo license and try out Vocalign 
Project with the scripts and following those steps and see how you get along.

Re: Mixing my Vocal track

[Steve Martin]

If you only have one vocal to work with, isotope Nectar and Antares Harmony 
Engine are two of the better plug ins I have used. It can generate unison 
doubles or harmonies up to 4 voices. Harmony Engine probably has a slightly 
less complicated interface as its just the harmony tool unlike Nectar which is 
an entire vocal mixing tool in one. Harmony Engine also has a choir features 
you can add additional voices to each of the 4 voices. Harmony Engine was just 
on sale last month and if you check ebay you may find a few dealers still 
selling it for the sale price of $99.  SonyOxford has a plug in called doubler 
that a lot of people like but I haven’t used it myself.
If you have multiple voices and you need to time align them, Vocalign project 
is probably the least expensive and best way to do this. It’s bigger brother 
Revoice Pro, will let you generate Doubles (if once again you only have one 
vocal track to work with) or do the time aligning aspects of Vocalign as well. 
Also, there is the manual version of creating wide doubles  using a pitch plug 
in in pro tools.  Basically duplicate the vocal twice. Pan one duplicate left 
and one duplicate right. Then using the pitch plug in, shift one up anywhere 
from 3 to 12 or so cents, and shift the other one down by the same amount nd 
then lower the volume of the duplicates to taste. 
Regarding Vocalign or Revoice Pro, scripts for using them  in pro tools s I 
believe exist in the dropbox folder. Nectar or Harmony Engine I have not used 
in ProTools myself but I have heard of others on the list doing so so I assume 
they should be accessible. Also I am selling a Vocalign Project license so 
contact me off list if you are interested. Hope something here got you going in 
the right direction.

Get an external drive and a copy of a program like SuperDooper or

 Hi Ben
 
 As to editing audio, don't think of marking as a way to define what is to 
 be edited. You need to think of editing as two types of selections: the 
 selection of a track and the selection of a range in the timeline. Once a 
 track is selected and it has an insertion point, you can edit audio clips 
 by splitting them or separating them (the two terms are used 
 interchangeably). You can also use the down and up arrows while the 
 transport is engaged to select the range in the timeline or you can also 
 enter those values with the numeric keypad. There are several ways to 
 achieve the end result. Flo tools allows you to quickly and easily query 
 the counter readouts and, by double-tapping, you can also type in the 
 desired value.
 
 The level and peak meters can be read with VoiceOver by navigating to the 
 meters within each channel strip. Flo Tools offers the ability to read the 
 meters using the Inspector mode without having to interact with each track 
 and navigating to the meters.
 HTH,

Re: faider port suggestions

[Steve Martin]

It’s made by PreSonus. I think the single Fader port would be sufficient if you 
are doing radio and you probably wouldn’t need the fader port 8 or 16.  
Behringer also now makes the Touch one which looks like a good deal compared to 
the Fader port, but not sure how extensive their HUI implementation is compared 
to the Fader Port.

[Steve Martin]

Facebook groups and market place is decent. Avoid craigslist especially for 
high value items like that unless you want to spend a lot of time wading  
through spam buyers. Also search your model on ebay  under the sold option and 
see what its actually selling for and adjust your price accordingly. Remember 
apple sells Refurbs that come with the same exact warrantee of any brand new 
Mac and some nice discounts can be found there so if your price is in the range 
of an apple refurb people will probably want to buy from apple directly and get 
a warrantee  instead of buying used. I say this as someone who has recently 
sold an iMac and MacBook Pro himself and has  purchased both apple ReFurbs and 
used machines in the past.

Re: A very silly question about recording electric guitar into Protools

[Steve Martin]

You will want to record your electric guitar onto an audio track in ProTools. 
You will set it up the same way you record your acoustic guitar, only 
difference really be in that the cable will replace the microphone. And yes, 
you do want to select the instrument option on your interface  after plugging 
in your electric guitar.  And, if you would like to emulate the sound up an 
amplifier or Fx, you can insert those on to the inserts lots on the audio 
track. Instrument tracks in ProTools, are intended for recording software 
instruments that you play with a midi keyboard. So you would not use an 
instrument or midi track to record it electric guitar.

Re: Audio rooting question

[Steve Martin]

Short answer yes. Long answer, because the air pods show up as a separate audio 
device (since its a bluetooth device) and since voice over lets you route it to 
any audio device independent of where the system audio is routed  or where pro 
tools is routed this should work fine.

Regarding your surface, I wouldn’t be surprise if ProTools First also limits

Re: vocal tunners accesibles?

[Steve Martin]

Also seem to remember others on here saying auto tune is accessible. Waves Tune 
real time seems to work for me as well at least I logic. I didn’t have much 
luck with the regular waves tune however and I seem to remember someone saying 
at one point that one key parameter wasn’t visible in pro tools though most of 
the other parameters showed up . Not sure if thats still the case.

Re: Where to store my samples?

[Steve Martin]

Raid allows for multiple drives to appear to the computer as one drive with the 
sum of its storage.  For example it will allow for two 500GB drives to appear 
as a 1TB drive. Tis of course a most basic explanation and there are options 
where it can use one drive for the data and the other for backing up the data 
so even though there is two 500gb drive in that option it will appear as just 
one. I say all that to say if you plan to get a 4 bay drive bay and want to use 
each of the 4 separate drives for different things, for example, 1 drive for 
samples, one drive for recording to, one drive for media etc etc, then you 
wouldn’t want to use any of the raid options. OWC has an excellent reputation 
but is not the most inexpensive either. Samsung eve are still the SSD’s all 
others are compared to so it’s still a safe bet to go with those.

Re: Hello and first question accessible audio interfaces

[Steve Martin]

I have the fU-Phoria 404HD  myself and thats a great interface. In my opinion 
its the sweet spot in the U-Phoria line as far as features go. The zoom L12 I 
also own and the stuff that you will needed sighted assistance for is  
regarding using its built in SD recorder functionality. Also updating the 
firmware from time to time since the firmware is ran off the SD card. If you 
don’t really plan to use the SD recorder functionality much and only use it as 
an audio interface you should be fine.  I do not own the Audiofuse so I have 
not had a chance to see if the software is accessible. Let me know if you have 
anymore questions.

Re: Hello and first question accessible audio interfaces

I have heard of people buying the Komplete Control with the 25 key keyboard and 
using that to control Komplete while actually using a larger 61 or 88 key 
keyboard to play the instrument. So I see no reason why you couldn’t have both 
set up.

Re: Hello and first question accessible audio interfaces

[Steve Martin]

The Focusrite Clarett range is nice, and while the control software is 
inaccessible the iOS app seemed to work well when I last tried it. You will 
need to have the computer running the software on the same wifi connection as 
your iOS device to pair and control the Clarett from the device. The pair 
process itself isn’t accessible as it in voles clicking  the accept button in a 
pop up in the control software that alerts you to an iOS device wanting to pair 
to it. However,  Focusrite support is great about Remoting  into your system to 
pair the device but to also set up and save presets for the Clarett control 
software for you. Loading the presets are accessible as well. 
Another high end option if the Apogee Element range. The element range makes 
the Apogee sound more affordable by forgoing any buttons or knobs on the 
interface itself. Its all controlled from software. There is both the control 
software for your Mac as well as an iOS version, in addition to a physical 
hardware Control Remote that connects to your computer via USB. The Mac version 
of the software isn’t very accessible (with any luck that could be changing 
soon) but the iOS version is quite accessible. You can even install it now and 
play around with demo versions of any of the 3 interfaces in the element range. 
Also pairing the device to the Mac is accessible unlike the Focusrite system. 
Also should you keep using logic, Apogee and Apple has had a long working 
relationship and as such the preamp gain and some other controls are available 
from the logic channel strip. However I have not played with those yet to see 
how ell they work access wise.
The Zoom L12 is a great option if you want something more like a mixer.The 
software is mostly just the driver installation as all routing is handled on 
the mixer itself. There are plenty of one button one function  controls on this 
device which is unusual for a digital mixer but it makes it a breeze to use 
once you learn the layout.  This unit is nice if you are ever working with a 
client as it makes it extremely easy to have a mix for you that has the DAW 
output and voiceover and one for that thats just the DAW output. (You can set 
that up on the others but this definitely is the easiest.). 
The Behringer U-Phoria series is very inexpensive, very feature packed for 
their price, and Core Audio compliant (this means no drivers or software to 
install) and plenty of buttons and knobs on the interface to make up for the 
lack of software. The Scarlet range by Focusrite is a contender to the 
Behringer u-Phoria series but you will pay more for less features   and as 
someone who has  compared the mic preamps/converters between the two units it s 
splitting hairs if that’s what you are gonna compare them on. 
Other worthy contenders would be the Audiofuse by Arturia or the Quantum by 
Presonus. Both do not have any mixer software to contend with  and plenty of 
knobs or buttons to make up for it. Also the PreS`onus is one that allows you 
to control  it from a control surface. They do rely on a control software of 
some kind but once set up once you will probably not need to go in there again. 
And also depending on what set up you are looking for you may not need to get 
in there at all.

Regarding DAW’s. I think logic is a better DAW for songwriting and composers. 
It’s work flow definitely is  geared towards that. Not saying you can’t compose 
in ProTools or that one can’t mix in Logic (I have done both in both DAW’s over 
the years) but composition is logic strength and the wealth of instruments, 
sounds, loops and etc it provides is more than sufficient to get you started. 
Fine editing in logic is a bit more cumbersome from the keyboard than it is in 
other DAW’s especially if you stay  on the track header/tracklist like most of 
us Blind DAW users are used to. But if you get into the track contents area it 
reveals alittle more. Also multi track recording can be a bit annoying in logic 
but you are mostly composing and recording a track at a time this shouldn’t be 
an issue much. 
Logic has the best and most complete implementation of the MCU protocol  for 
control surfaces I have read in a few places so using Logic with a control 
surface  may be able to combat some of the issues with multi track recording. 
This is something I plan to look into more  in the future. Also as you learn 
the program a little rethinking of the KeyMap may make is a bit more user 
friendly. 
ProTools on the other hand lack some of the flexibility of Something like logic 
or even Reaper since you can’t modify the keymap, and it’s support of third 
party control surfaces are limited so for fullest control you will have to 
spend money on an avid surface. That being said it works the best out of the 
box, as in you install it, and open it and can start using it. You still get a 
nice selection of instruments and sounds and its multi tracking and editing 
capabilities are the industry standard for

Re: Accessible Drumming Plugins?

Admittedly I Have not used GarageBand A lot on High Sierra  but didn’t have 
much issues when I used it on Sierra. I use drummer in logic more these days 
but have used it  enough in GarageBand to know it works the same and 
considering GarageBand is free thats why recommended it over logic. I think its 
strike thats is the ProTools included instrument that I  was discussing with 
Slau on list sometime ago  that should be useful for songwriting, if you want 
to explore something inside ProTools.

This is probably gonna be blasphemy to say, but GarageBand is  free and Drummer 
is quite underrated especially as a songwriting tool.  Get in Touch off list if 
you want to set up a time to have a crash course. Otherwise there is one of the 
ProTools drum instrument that I remember Slau mentioned that would be useful

Re: further progress with Synchro Arts plug-ins

[Steve Martin]

Given some of the new playback features added in 2018 I was considering 
restarting it  because that would speed up Vocal tracking and production. And 
that seems to be  alot of what I am doing these days. If I can easily use 
Vocalign as well then that would be another benefit.  But yeah that $299  
restart price is a bit much. I wonder if they charge you that if you do a 
monthly subscription? Also are any of the pitch correction or doubling 
parameters of Revoice Pro  available to us or are we at the moment limited to 
the Vocalign functions even if using Revoice Pro?

Thanks

Re: further progress with Synchro Arts plug-ins

[Steve Martin]

Cool thanks. So I guess this means I should reactivate my ProTOols license 
then? To your  other point I assume if I were to upgrade during the current 
sale I would forfeit my project license and not be able to run both.
Thanks Again,

Re: further progress with Synchro Arts plug-ins

Hey Slau,

You mentioned Vocalign Pro here but I noticed the macro in the KM folder in the 
PT Access dropbox folder is named for Revoice  Pro. Are those the ones for 
Vocalign Pro, or are those for Revoice Pro?

Thanks,

Re: further progress with Synchro Arts plug-ins

Hey Slau,

I assume this is only tested with in Pro Tools? Is project “Out of the 
Question” as far s scripts go so I should consider upgrading while they  are 
running that sale?

Thanks for looking into this.

Re: Apogee Element

[Steve Martin]

Thanks for the info. From what I read the MacOS app should let you control some 
stuff from the keyboard. But if you don’t know what you are controlling that 
could be an issue. My concern  is  the iOS app doesn’t give you access to some 
of the deeper controls of the Unit. Hopefully Between the iOS app and the 
hardware controller I can set up most of what I need.  As I do use logic a bit 
at least for controlling inputs apogee allows those controls to be added to the 
logic channel strip so  that should be one less thing I will need the hardware 
for.

Re: the sequence of Inserted FX

[Steve Martin]

Well you definately want Pitch correction first in the chain before any other 
processing. Personally however I would put the noise gate second so any clean 
up can be done prior to eq and compression. Which order the EQ and compressors 
are in are a matter of personal taste and you can experiment with order to see 
which you like.

Apogee Element

[Steve Martin]

Hey Guys, 

Hope you don’t mind the cross posting. Apogee is doing that deal again where 
they include the Apogee element control if. You  purchase an element 88 or 46. 
Was considering grabbing one but was wondering how accessible the control 
software is on OSX. I know the iOS app is accessible and I messed around with a 
demo unit on the app which is cool, however its doesn’t offer all the advanced 
settings that the Mac app does. So if anyone has one I am curious to hear your 
thoughts on it.

Re: Vocalign

[Steve Martin]

So close, with the standalone version. But as you pointed out its hellbent on 
only allowing you to import tracks by dragging into the interface. I tried all 
the ways to drag and drop from the keyboard with VO but non of the places 
visible to VO seems to be where it needs to be dropped, nor does Right clicking 
and choosing open with or setting it as an external editor to open stuff from 
your DAW into it. Considering Dropping them a line and asking them to consider 
adding separate keyboard shortcuts for importing guide and dub tracks.

Re: Vocalign

[Steve Martin]

Yeah and if the Pro Tools video is anything like the reaper video there wasn’t 
any Dialog explaining the process it was just showing you visually. Fortunately 
the Logic video did have spoken dialog and thats how I figured out how to use 
it. It appears to be the same in most DAWS from what I can tell. 
1) Put Vocalign on an insert of the track you want to Align (called the dub 
track)
2) Side chain that instance of Vocalign to the track you want to align it to 
(called the Guide Track) 
3) Put the playhead shortly before the area that you want to align ,
4) Click capture and then start playback in the DAW.
5) Once it plays past where you wanted to align, press stop. 
6) Press the edit button to let the program analyze and align the audio. 
7) Press play again to hear the audio aligned. 

At this point you can change settings ie say from normal flexibility to high 
flexibility if you want the dub to be tighter or say to low flexibility if the 
alignment didn’t quite work the way you wanted and you want to allow for 
greater flex with the alignment. Or if you just want the alignment to be a 
little looser. Each time  you change a setting you will have to press edit 
again to reprocess.
