 Reaper has many more advantages over ProTools when it comes to
 plugins; for a start, they allow VST Plugins. Maybe one day,
 ProTools will see the error of their ways, and reinstate the midi
 learn function, which apparently was a feature in PT8.

 The trouble with relying on an AlfaTrack or a command 8, is that I
 can easily foresee a time when Avid will discontinue support,

 get VST support, rather than spending £200 or more to recreate what

Apparently, you power on the bcf by locating the fifth button from the top 
left, holding it down while pressing the on button. This should put it into 
hui mode. Unfortunately, I don't think the bcf works with plugin automation. 
I've not used the bcf with protools yet, but a Google search should provide 
more information.

HUI does indeed support plug-in control. Since the release of the original 
Mackie HUI, plug-in parameters are mapped automatically, at least with Pro

Reaper has many more advantages over ProTools when it comes to 
plugins; for a start, they allow VST Plugins. Maybe one day, ProTools 
will see the error of their ways, and reinstate the midi learn 
function, which apparently was a feature in PT8.


The trouble with relying on an AlfaTrack or a command 8, is that I can 
easily foresee a time when Avid will discontinue support, possibly in 
the next release. So I’d rather spend £60 on Reaper and get VST 
support, rather than spending £200 or more to recreate what I could 
previously do for free with Sonar.

Re: Control surface help

2015-02-15 Thread David Eagle
Oh, and it turns out that the M-Audio oxygen keyboards work with ProTools in 
terms of controling track volume and pan and transport, plus virtual instrument 
controls, but not audio plugin controls. So our options really are limited. I 
think Avid are trying to force you into buying their HD system or an Artist mix 
surface.

Re: Control surface help

2015-02-14 Thread Me
Okay, thanks Matt. What about the M audio oxygen keyboards? Apparently they 
also have the ability to control plug-ins. I haven't done much research on this 
yet, I am out at the moment, But this seemed to be very affordable. I do not 
need motorised faders. Just the ability to control things

Re: Control surface help

2015-02-13 Thread Ricky Prevatte
Presonus Faderport is what I use and also John Gunn from this list. John's wife 
has assisted us with a little description and we have, of course, the manuals. 
The faderport can be purchased for less than US$200. It has one fader - it is 
motorized. it has Pan and all of the transport controls. it is a great product 
for weekend warriors and semi professional ProTools users in my opinion.

 Hi everyone. Well, I’ve been steadily getting the hang of ProTools, so much 
 so that I haven’t had to post a single question to the list this year. I may 
 even be getting to the stage where I can help answer a few people’s questions.
 
 Yesterday I needed to do some automation, for which I really could do with 
 using a control surface. I plugged in my midi keyboard, which has worked fine 
 with ProTools for instruments and controlling plugins such as Stutter Edit. 
 Unfortunately, it seems as if ProTools isn’t particularly accommodating when 
 it comes to control surfaces. Apparently there is no function like the Midi 
 Learn function, like with Sonar, where basically any midi device can be used 
 by the user manually assigning knobs and faders to parameters. 
 So, I suppose I’m going to have to buy a bloody control surface, which is a 
 purchase I could do without. But it’s untenable to use ProTools without being 
 able to automate with a control surface. I’m wondering what my options are 
 therefore. I don’t care about motorised faders, and I don’t need a lot of 
 faders. Two faders should be plenty, assuming that I can assign them to 
 different parameters. Any help on this subject would be very much 
 appreciated. 
 
 In the meantime, is there any way of increasing the jump or speed of slider 
 value changes when I use the keyboard. Interacting with a slider and using VO 
 up or down arrow can be painfully slow at times. I thought that maybe I could 
 use the trackpad to make more rapid slider adjustments, but it seems to work 
 exactly the same as using VO up and down arrow.
 
 Thanks.

I truly do not know have not tried. Fact is I haven't used it that much I am 
getting ready to. Eat Q is not something I'm going to be doing with the control 
surface.

 Thanks for that Ricky. I’ve had a look on the Internet. I assume that you 
 can’t control plugin parameters with this? It seems as if this is the case 
 for surfaces that run in HUI mode. Does the Faderport allow you to change EQ 
 settings for instance, or is it just track volume and pan?
 
 Thanks.

Re: Control surface help

2015-02-13 Thread David Eagle
Alas you can not. Perhaps if the plugin parameters could be controlled by midi 
values then plugins might be controllable - I don’t know. I have a Beringer 
BCF2000 which I think works with ProTools under the HUI mode. I think this also 
allows me to control send faders as well as track and busfaders. At least 
that’s a start, but I could buy Reaper for £60 and control anything I wanted 
with midi. 

OK, I’ll stop moaning. I’ve been suckered into using ProTools - it’s extremely 
accessible - and so I’ll just have to put up with its idiosyncratic quirks, 
which, let’s face it, are driven by making money through forcing you to buy 
proprietary software. The Avid Artist control surfaces, which allow you to 
control plugins, cost over £1000. Not sure I’m going to earn enough from audio 
to justify that.

I have an artist mix, and honestly I have no idea why they cost so much... No 
transport, no jog wheel... Wish I'd brought something a little cheaper to be 
honest.
