Re: Pro tools anxiety
Hi there. I'm new to Pro tools, i come from a background of amateur type recording stuff. I have used old cassette porta studios like the Tascam 244 and later digital porta studios like the Roland Vs1680 which was the last really advanced piece of gear that i actually got music out of, even though it was full of pitfalls. I've tried, without fully understanding it the various variations of Sonar and Cakewalk when i was on Windows. That's my background when it comes to recording, so i should be at least a bit experienced, i would think, but many things are quite new concepts to me, and as i get older i grow more afraid of trying new things. I would like to master all of this, but i'm afraid in my darkest moments that it's going to be like with my Zoom R24, that because of menus, settings and other stuff on my gear, i won't be able to use it as intended. Maybe i think, i shouldn't be using this at all, but rather sell it and be done with it. I don't want to, but if i can't use it... What i fear the most now is my midi keyboard i bought, an Akai MPK61, which apparently has lots of menus and stuff, but i wanted it because of its drum pads. Well that's how it stands. /Krister 23 feb 2013 kl. 22:29 skrev Poppa Bear heavens4r...@gmail.com: Hello Chris, are you new to recording, or just new to Pro Tools?

Re: Pro tools anxiety
Hi Chris. The first question about the Project mix may be of interest to the list so i write it here. Is the manual for the Project mix any good to us blind folks? By this i mean that in some manuals you have only pictures instead of button descriptions which end up with sentences running along the lines of: press to go to this or that mode, then press to record. You can sometimes get around this by scanning the manual but sometimes you can't, so that's why i ask. /Krister 23 feb 2013 kl. 14:26 skrev Chris chris.norm...@googlemail.com: Hi, I am personally using a project mix, and I can certainly understand your frustrations. My best advice is to just keep at it, and read every message that comes across this list, even if you aren't interested in the subject matter. Above all, even when you get more used to pro tools, always read the newbie question threads, as there are a lot of fantastic folks on this list, who collectively I am sure, know all there is to know about pro tools. The question about specialist tracks is not a pro tools specific question as such, but I believe it has been covered on this list before all the same. Read through the list archives, and see if you can't find something in there that you find useful. Listen to Kevin's awesome podcast on an introduction to pro tools, as this was my bread and butter when I first started. As I am using the project mix, I would be glad to help you with it off list, via Skype if you want, on the understanding that you don't ring me every time you run into a problem. I'm not saying that because I don't want to help, but because I understand how tempting that can be, and also because it is the mistakes that you make, which do the teaching. Anyways, if you are interested in how to use the project mix, either via email or Skype, please email me off list to arrange a time.

Hi Krister, These 4 tutorials from Groove 3 Inc. are a must for all new Pro Tools users. I'v been ordering from there for several years have never been disappointed. There are several people on this list that can testify to the importance of these tutorials. Contact 1-800-460-7509 Groove 3 Inc in the USA State of Texas. Ask them for Kenny Gioia's pro tools parts 1234 tips tricks They usually discount them by 50% do to the fact they are videos and some visuals are missed but WOW you will bypass several years of PT guessing! :) You can get them from there web site but navigation is a bit difficult! also but the check out can be difficult thats why I called them up years ago and established a relationship with them. When I contacted Kenny Gioia, one of there contributors, and brought it to his attention that People are using PT with voiceOver he was so intrigued that he is working on a descriptive audio track to include for future PT tutorials!

Re: Pro tools anxiety
Hello Chris, are you new to recording, or just new to Pro Tools? I/we have all been in the same boat. Though I have been tirelessly spending hours each day learning to use it more and more I go up and down with my confadence level. Once I figure one thing out, I have twenty more things I would like to understand. I can confadently record sessions, creat busses, apply affects, moniter levels, cut and paist, and to get to that point I really had to sweat it out. My biggest problem right now is getting a handle on really controlling plugin settings with my control surface in order to really tighten up my mixes, but that is another story in it self. The bottom line is that you will be astatic one second, then missribal the next for quite a long time, but don't feel too crazy about it, it is part of paying your Pro Tool dues. I am used to a very active list when it comes to recording and this list is much slower and you may be used to the same, but don't hesitate to ask any questions, and don't forget to use all the resources on the web for PT in general because even though they may not be talking about Voice Over related functions in Pro Tools, you can get an idea of the work flow in Pro Tools and that is half the battle. Also, if you can get a sighted person to go over the buttons on your project mix then open a notepad or word document and make a explanatory diagram of the buttons and knobs on your surfase. Well, be blessed and remember that kevin Reves does lessons on the list over the phone or via Skype I believe - Original Message - From: Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 3:58 AM Subject: Pro tools anxiety Hi good people.
