Hey Slau.  On the topic of plug ins, would a waves bundle be a wise
investment if one is using a control surface?  Or, would you recommend
another company?

Thanks,

Cameron.

All plug-ins which have automate-able parameters are accessible in the sense
that the parameters are visible to voiceOver as sliders. The odd exception
apparently seems to be Waves at this time but I can't personally confirm the
behavior. What will not be accessible are any menu buttons specific to the
plug-in. For example, Waves has Load and Save buttons which are not visible
because they're not automate-able. Most basic eQs and compressors don't use
proprietary buttons.

Waves stuff is, of course, great and, with a control surface, it's possible to 
access parameters. Fader flip mode is essential in this case. Something like 
the Digi 003 works. I've heard that the Mackie Universal supposedly has this 
feature but I 'm not certain. Apparently the HUI had it and so did the JL 
Cooper surfaces. At any rate, yeah, their stuff is obviously fabulous but with 
a commensurate price tag, as you know.

All the Waves plugs I've tried are automapped. Some things you can't
get too as of yet because since as what was explained, they are not
automatable. Great example would be some of the stomps in the GTR

Hi Herman.  ah, yeah, I was reading about the gtr3 and gtr solo plugs.  what
things can you access?  Can you change things like channel, head, cabinet,
eq, presence, and the effects on a given patch?

I already have the Digi 11 rack but another guitar option might be good to
have.

I just bought the waves native power pack bundle today and that will be a
good foundation along with the included plugs in pt9 for now at least.

Thanks,

You can change channel, head, cabinet,
eq, presence, but not the effects on any patches. Plus we dont have
access to pre-sets as far as I can tell. I would have to have someone
load up a pretty heavy-duty pre-sets with lots of effects to see if I
could move those. I'd like to think that you might be able to simply
because some of those might be automatable. Will report back if I can
get someone to load some up.

Re: waves, was RE: plugins

2010-11-22 Thread Slau Halatyn
Waves uses their proprietary menu buttons which appear below the Pro Tools 
Factory Preset, Auto and Auto Safe buttons. These aren't technically part of 
the Coco portion of the plug-in window and so, are not visible, on top of not 
being automate-able parameters. It is possible, with sighted assistance, to 
call up a preset and save it to the Factory Presets menu. It's time-consuming 
but possible. QuicKeys would be a great tool to utilize in this case but also 
requires sighted assistance, that is, until someone writes some shorcut bundles 
that can be shared.

Waves uses their proprietary menu buttons which appear below the Pro Tools
Factory Preset, Auto and Auto Safe buttons. These aren't technically part of
the Coco portion of the plug-in window and so, are not visible, on top of
not being automate-able parameters. It is possible, with sighted assistance,
to call up a preset and save it to the Factory Presets menu. It's
time-consuming but possible. QuicKeys would be a great tool to utilize in
this case but also requires sighted assistance, that is, until someone
writes some shorcut bundles that can be shared.
