OK, yesterday, I was training a client on the use of ProTools,
and we discovered something kind of interesting that I'd like a
little bit of clarification regarding.
Basically, one of the things he had to do in his ProTools college
corse, was to take an mp3 file, import it into PT as an audio
track, then move 3 minutes, and 35 seconds into the recording.
That part was easy. Then he had to trim off everything from that
point of the recording to the end. Again, that also was very
very easy. Here's however where things got interesting. The
next step, was for him to move back 20 seconds before the end of
the recording. That was also easily done. Then however, he had
to apply an equal power fade out from that point forward... so,
basically, the last 20 seconds needed to be faded out. He was
instructed by his teacher to use command+F to get into the fade
dialog. Well, for him, he's using ProTools 11. I'm still using
10.0. I'm not even on 10.3, for reasons I'm not gonna bore you
all with. Although, hearing Voiceover on his end with 11, has
got me really really tempted to purchase 11. Anyway, the point
is, for him, he got into the fade dialog, set it and it worked
perfectly! He went the 20 seconds back, then did
shift+option+return to select everything to the end of the
session, then command+F, and then he set the radio button in
there to equal, then hit vo+space on OK. Then when he hit the
space bar to play, it worked. I tried this on my end, as I've
always wonderred without writing automation if there was a way to
achieve this. Though the dialog looks fairly accessible in PT
10, I'm finding that it's not doing the fade like it should be.
Yes, I have made absolutely sure that all tracks were selected in
the track list table, and I made absolutely sure that I was not
only lined up in the session where the fade should start, but
that I had all the audio selected where the fade should occur.
Even still, when selecting equal power, it's not working. Now,
there are a few popup/combo boxes as well in this dialog. Maybe
2 or 3 of them. The options when I open them up do not seem to
read. I don't know if they're rellavent or not, but yeah... Is
this one thing that in P T 11 became accessible, which in 10.X we
didn't really have good access to, or am I doing something wrong.
I'm just trying to determine why it worked for him, yet for me,
it's not doing a thing.
Chris.
