Hello Brian, Yes, I have been in touch with Slau and he is being incredibly helpful. I may consider listening to the ProTools with Speech tutorials at some point, because at least I’m sure they’ll give me a better idea of how things work. I can tell that this list will be an invaluable resource for me to learn Pro Tools, so thanks everyone in advance for your help!
