Hi List, At long last, I'm putting up some links to my Master's project regarding ProTools Accessibility. Essentially, I spent last year examining the scope of accessibility of Protools 8.0.4 with Voiceover. I recorded a five piece rock band from toronto and mixed five songs as part of the professional project that went along with my thesis.
For the gear heads out there, everything was tracked on an SSL AWS 900 console using the SSL preamps on everything. Drums were miked with 12 mics from Shure, Rode, Sony and Schoeps. Guitars were miked up with mics from Shure, Josephson, AKG, Blue and Sennheiser. Vocals were done on a Neumon TLM 100. The unfortunate thing was that the band's singer got a hernia right at the beginning of tracking. His surgery was scheduled for the middle of mixing, so there wasn't time for him to get well enough to lay down harmonies and BGs. So, all the vocals are largely one or two takes—good enough for the project to be handed in on time. He is all better. Mixing took place on a Tascam 24 channel control surface. Sadly, it did not allow for manipulation of the plug-ins, so there was a lot of manipulation done with the keyboard. The five songs were mastered at Silverbirch in Toronto, an excellent mastering house if anyone's looking for one. ;) Here is a link to my thesis. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9602421/Kevin%20Shaw%20-%20Voiceover%20in%20the%20Control%20Room%20Final.pdf Here are links to 3 of the recordings: Broken Fire: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9602421/4%20Broken%20Fire.mp3 Blue: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9602421/5%20Blue.mp3 WARNING!
