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

Subject: Pro tools anxiety
Hi good people.
As i struggle with getting my new pro tools setup under way, i'm getting
more and more anxious that i won't make it in the end. Call me a whiner,
you're probably right, but it seems the more i hear about, and acquaint my
self with PT, the less i feel i know. This is good, after all you need to
learn but i feel i dare not ask all the newbie questions here that i want to
ask. Questions like "Umm what are buses" and "Ahem why do you need a special
track for effects and what is the difference between the different types of
tracks in PT" and so on.
My question in the end has to be is there a "total idiots guide to Pro
tools" type easy to read tutorial somewhere, better still is there such a
tutorial for blind people?
I just got my M-Audio Project mix set up and installed, does anyone have a
layout description for it? I've heard that blind folks are using the
Projectmix so it must be doable only there are quite a few buttons and i
don't know what they do in Pro tools mode.
Thanks so much.
/Krister
