Well, remember it is like eating an eliphant, it's one bite at a time. If
you sold it you would still have the itch so just put that notion aside.
Take it step by step and give the list one question at a time.

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.

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.
