Re: Ow! ow ow! My ears! What the heck did I do!
Sounds like simple feedback. Make sure the outputs of the tracks aren’t set to the bus, so it’s just a send, and make sure the output of the reverb track isn’t set to it’s self or something like that. HTH, Take care, Chris Norman chris.norm...@googlemail.com On 21 May 2015, at 22:07, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: OK, this is the weirdest! thing I've seen in quite some time. I have 4 vocal audio tracks in ProTools 12.0 that I'm working with. Basically, what I've done is, I have a compresser, and an E Q on all 4 tracks. The reason I'm not sending those tracks to an auxiliary track then popping the plugs over there is because I don't want the same equal configurations on each track. All 4 of them are tweaked a little bit suttally differently. However, this said, I do! want all 4 of them to have identically the same reverb. Same reverb plug, same tweaked settings, etc, same amount of reverb, yoddie yodda. So, for that reason, I have added a send to each of the 4 tracks individually, and routed all of them to the same auxiliary input. Then I popped the reverb plug on insert A of that AUX track. Now, when I play back the recording, even though the auxiliary track is turned way down to -16DB, I'm getting the highest pitched squeel you ever could imagine when I play the recording, then hit the space bar to stop. I don't hear it until I stop though. Trust me, yes, I have very very sensitive ears, and, God darn it, I do mean, sen? sih? tiv! but even still, this is even to my mom who doesn't have that issue, even to her, she says it is absolutely ear piercing! Why is this happenning? It never! did this before when I sent a single vocal track to an AuX input. Would I be correct in my theory to assume, O, K, but that was just it. One, track. Now, I have 4 tracks, therefore 4 times the amount of signal being fed to that input, therefore the resonance is so much higher because of this, that it's blasting the trail effects of that reverb, giving me feedback and other real weird effects that could be quite loud? That is the only! theory I can logically anticipate. Would I be correct? Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: Two Questions about Clip Gain
Hi, I think clip gain works at the clip level, semi distructively, as in you can undo, but perhaps not undo them once you've got the changes out of the undo queue. Saying that though, I seem to remember something in the undo menu about clip gain removal, so try there. Secondly, because (I think anyway) the clip gain works on the clip rather than acting like aumation, delete a clip will delete it's clip gain stuff, and re-recording that part won't be clip gained at all. I'm really not certain of what I'm talking about here, so I apologise in advance if I'm wrong about any of the above. Good luck! On 03/04/2015 04:01, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote: 1. If I have a track which I have done some clip gain modifications to, is there a real quick way that I can then get rid of all those mods, as if I'd never done any clip gaining at all to the track? This way, as far as CG goes, I can pretty much start over with a fresh slate? The audio track only has one region if that makes any difference. 2. If I've made some clip gain changes on a track at certain points in the timeline, then, I go back, select that track only in the track list table, hit return to move to the top, ctrl+A to select all, then whack the delete key, what then happens? Will that only delete my audio? Or, would that also then delete my clip gain events, therefore making me have to redo them, if I then was to rerecord the audio on that track. Thank you.

Re: Possibly a very obvious, and maybe stupid question about setting lead vocal levels
Hi mate, I record my own vocals a lot, and what I’ve personally found is that with all the sound checking in the world, I automatically sing louder when I’m actually recording, I think it has something to do with the this is now live psychology. Anyways, like Scott said, I’d check yourself on the loud bit, and then take a little off to account for that loudness. Another thing I’ve done to incorporate a vocal warm up, is set a hotspot on the metre and set VO to watch it, then just sung crap… I tend to just sing random words, usually directed at my dog, or the pics, or the weather, or whatever my brain spews out. Incorporate high and low notes, and that makes me feel nice and loose, while giving me a feel for what the metres will say with any given range. Do it enough, and you don’t really need to check metres - I don’t bother any more, I just set my gain to what I’ve found to be the optimum for my voice and microphone style and leave it - it rarely goes wrong.

Re: Working with Midi Event List
Is there anything that can be done with VoiceOver to move the control? With the resize or move options. Sent from my iPhone On 15 Feb 2015, at 01:55, Chi Kim chigook...@hotmail.com wrote: Thanks Slau for helping with this. Yes, you're correct. I moved the main counter using star numbers enter. Also I confirmed with the hotspot on the main counter after I jumped. I found something interesting though. If I jump by a big number of bars like 30 50 80, it kind of works. However, VO cursor only gets synchronized only if the event list table moves from bottom of the screen to top of the screen (left of close minimize zoom buttons) and vice versa. You know how track list table sometimes jumps to next to the close button. It does that much more frequently with the event list table when you jump by big number. The voiceover cursor kind of gets synchronized when this happens. When the voiceover cursor gets synchronized, the cursor kind of gets closer to the bar I jumped to, instead of the exact bar. For example, if I go to bar 60, it might be at like bar 54. If I move by a small number of bars like 2 or 3 bars, nothing happens. I guess something has to do with when the screen scrolls. Hope I can get this sorted out soon.

Of course, there needs to be enough events to populate the range of up to bar 100 and beyond in order for the window itself to scroll to that point. I'll have another look soon.

In other words, selected MIDI events are not the same as selecting a range within the timeline of a MIDI track. That said, If an edit range is subsequently selected, I believe the MIDI events, by default, become unselected. As mentioned earlier, I do think that un-interacting with the event list table will bring focus to the current main counter position or selected edit range. I'm not at the studio today so I can't verify this but I do think that might be the case. I'll try to take a look at this over the weekend.

Let's say you've clicked on a MIDI event. The event will become highlighted and, if it's a note, you should hear it. Pressing the arrow down does move the selection to the adjacent notes. Now, let's say you entered a main counter value of bar 77. What happens is that the main counter will jump to bar 77 but VoiceOver is still seeing the original location. What you need to do is stop interacting with the event list and reinteract with it and VoiceOver will read the correct information. With a control surface, you can scrub and select notes and it's a quick process but moving around the list itself can sometimes be tedious. When you do find the parameter you wish to edit, as John said, interact with the text and press Control-Option-Space bar. The contents will be selected and you can enter the new value. You should be aware of the following behavior: After entering a new value, pressing Return will confirm the new value and the entire row of parameters becomes selected. If you don't press Return, you can use the left or right arrow keys to move to different parameters but VoiceOver doesn't seem to speak those values unless you move the voiceOver

Chris Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:07:06 -0700 From: Slate Digital nore...@stevenslate.com Subject: Message From Steven Slate Regarding AAX Updates Dear FG-X and VCC Slate Customer, This is one of the hardest emails I've ever had to write.The reason for this, is because I really love what I do. But one of the main reasons I love what I do is because I get to make products that make people happy. But clearly, there are a lot of you out there who are quite unhappy, due to the missed deadlines of our VCC and FG-X updates. First, and this goes without saying, I feel terrible about this. I never intended for this to happen, and I read all the negative comments, and it breaks my heart. Because I failed you guys. This company means the world to me, and I have always strived to make mindful decisions that would ensure that it remains healthy. But unfortunately, despite the fact that I am often seen around Hollywood Blvd wearing a cape, I have no super powers and am just a mere mortal who makes mortal mistakes. And clearly, I've made mistakes this past year. Let me tell you about them. As many of you know, we work a long time on our products. Two years ago when AAX was announced, we were just beginning the development of some pretty intense new products, which are all as of this email, unreleased. Two of them you know about, the Virtual Mix Rack, and the Virtual Microphone System. Both of these were new and exciting products that required a lot of effort from the entire team, and so we began to start the RD. And then, we get hit with AAX. We were not prepared, nor did we have a big enough team to simultaneously develop big new products while updating old products.My first mistake was realizing that fact too late. What should have happened is a pause in all production to hire more developers to help with our new 64bit AAX framework, pause all new development, and then proceed with full force on all of our legacy updates. Instead, I became fearful. This fear was derived from the fact that we are one of the newer games in town as compared to our competition, and I felt like new product development was crucial enough that we had to keep some part of the team on it while another part worked on the framework and updates. This compromised the productivity of both teams since neither side had enough manpower. When the framework was complete, we had to decide where to start. So let's just get this out of the way and say it was an obvious choice with VBC and VTM. VBC was written INTO the new framework. Converting it to AAX would be the easiest and more straight forward. Than came the VTM. This was in our old framework and had an insanely complex algorithm, but several of our very talented team members were able to get the port done in the Winter. And now we are left with the VCC and FG-X. Oh boy.Here it goes. I think it's fair to say that the algorithms, meaning the audio processes, of the VCC and FG-X are some of the best out there for what they aim to do.Well, at least I hope you think that since you bought at least one of them. These were the very first two plugins that Fabrice and I worked on and we're proud of them. But as great as these algorithms sound, the way the code was written back then had a bit to be desired. Ok, they had a lot to be desired. Alright fine, they're a mess. There was no way we could use the same code for these plugins in our new framework, because we owe it to you, the customer, to improve them. With a cleaner code, they would be bug free, and use dramatically less CPU. Furthermore, there are aspects of our new framework that the VCC and FG-X code is not 1:1 compatible with so it would have taken just as long to convert the old code into the new framework. So the choice was obvious.We started last year to rewrite FG-X and VCC with fresh code, new features, and new algorithms. But again, going back to my first points, the team was overloaded. There were members bouncing back and forth to all the projects... one week it was VMR, then VTM AAX update, then VBC bug fixing.. it was insane. And to top it all off, we parted ways with two of our team members in the Spring, making a bad situation even worse. I do NOT expect sympathy from you. I do NOT

Basically, I am not sure if you were being sarcastic about math being difficult, or if you were serious. I'm gonna assume the ladder. So, look at t it this way... Let's say you have a double digit decimal DB value. Let's use 12 just for example. So, forget for a minute it being negative, or positive. Don't worry about that. Just for now look from the bigger picture. Take the number 12, in general. 12 could also be written as 12.0. So, 12.0 is no different than 12. Only thing is, with 12.0, we now have a decimal place. So just move that decimal one place to the left. So instead of 12, you now have 1.2. So think of it this way, and this is what really helped me grasp it. The decimal needs to be in between the two digits. So, say you needed -16DB. That's kind of low, but just humor me here. So, what makes up 16? 1, and 6, right? 16's written as 1 6. So, put a decimal between those two digits. So, -16DB on the PT 11 meters would equal -1.6DB. Hopefully, that makes sense.

In other words, if you get a reading of -2 dB, what the meter is really saying is -20 dB. If you're shooting for -15 dB, make sure your meter reads -1.5 dB. Move the decimal one spot to the right in your mind. If anybody wants to verify, create a track with a signal generator putting out a tone at -20 dB and check the meter on the track and you'll see that it displays -2.0. Adjust the output of the signal generator and it'll follow the behavior I've outlined above. Slau On Jul 11, 2014, at 10:38 AM, Rosco Vittore relu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. This *definitely!* must be a Voiceover issue. I don't recall the exact model, as it was donated to me by a studio in my area which is going out of business unfortunately, however I have some form of a Scarlet. I think it's made by Focusright. Anyway, I can confirm with this interface that like Christopher, I too am seeing the same problem with my meters in PT11. I'm not getting identically the same readout as he obviously, but it's definitely showing a much hotter signal than what I know beyond a doubt is coming in. In PT10, like Christohper, I do not have this situation either. My meters read fine over there. So, Slau, with the utmost respect, I think you saying there are things Christopher doesn't yet understand is a little bit harsh. I earnestly don't think Chris is doing anything wrong. If he is, then why am I also having the same problem with a completely different interface, not even made by the same manufacturer? That just seems a bit odd to me that this would be opporator error. I can't speak for Christopher, but I can tell you from my part at least that I'm not doubting your experience nor credibility, and if I implied in any way that I did, I apologize. I just find it coencidental that he's having this issue, and that I am as well. Thanks kindly, and make it a blessed day.

Re: Recommendations on Protools System
Hiya mate, I used to use a laptop system, and honestly it was annoying plugging and unplugging it all the time - I'm much happier now that I have an iMac in my studio and I don't have to unmount drives and unplug stuff all the time. Secondly, I have an artist mix (I think that's what it's called anyways, the 8 fader thing), and I don't very often need to go into the EU Control app. It does however, have to be open all the time, and you want to make sure it's noticed your Artist hardware before opening Pro Tools, or things won't work (in my experience anyways). For me, this involves waiting for a window to pop up in EUControl calling it's self Fader WND or something, not sure if it'll be the same for you. Hope this helps, and sorry it's been a bit rambling.

Re: Protools11 shortcut problem
OK, to select tracks, you have three choices (that I know of). 1. Use the tracks table in either the edit or mix windows, and find the track(s) you want, and press VoiceOver Space on them. 2. Use control p to select the previous track, and control ; to select the next track. Either of these in addition to the shift key will select continuously. 3. Use a control service with select (sometimes called del buttons). When you’ve selected the track(s) you want to manipulate, you can check your selection by pressing shift s (solo). This will solo the tracks which are selected, so you can ensure you got the right tracks. Now as I said before, you can use the down and up arrows to select pieces of audio as you play - for this this, I believe you have to have “Link timeline and edit selection” selected in the options menu (shift /). Alternatively, as Chris said, you can just figure out which portion of the song you want to select, and type in the numbers. A final one, and one I really like if the numbers get too confusing, place a marker at the start, then set your play head to where you want to end, then you can just hold down the shift key while typing in the marker location. So, for example, if the marker is marker one, you can find the other part of the selection (this works backwards or forwards), and hold down shift, and press numpad ., numpad 1, numpad . HTH, and sorry it’s so long winded, but I wanted to get everything I could thinkf of out there! :-) Cheers, and good luck!

So to the questions: I'm trying to use loops in PT. I've understood that it's done via the Workspace that is opened with Option+I. But once it's open, I can't figure out how the browser is organized, and I can't figure out how and if I can navigate to the location where my loop files are located. Then, if I at some point will figure that out and it can be done, will I be able to drag the loop from the browser window to a track? If yes, will I then have a chance of choosing where on the track to put this loop timewize? I'm probably wanna use loops most for percussion stuff, like for making an already existing drumtrack more massive or sound fatter in choruses etc. So it's important that I will be able to adjust the tempo of the loop too so that it will match my sessions tempo... Is there any other way of doing it than through the workspace, that didn't seem to be accessible with VO, or is there something I've missed about navigating the workspace? Is there a standard recepee for getting a loop into a session with VO that works best? I would be so happy if some of you had any help to offer, that you wouldn't believe it! :) I've struggled with this now for several days, and i'm almost out of bad language now... Lol!

I have some partial vision so I will be able to activate this when I get the key, but I am wondering if there is a way to update the trial to 11.1 or am I stuck with whatever the trial version is (I believe11.02)? I am now going to make the full move over to PT 11 and as such am starting over with hardware (support has been discontinued for the hardware I currently have). I would like to get any feedback on the artist series control surfaces if anyone has used them. They have glowing reviews but from the perspective of someone sighted. I have no idea how they would be to someone with very poor vision. I also need an audio interface and am trying to decide between the FocusRite Saffire Pro 40 or the MBox Pro...seems like the focusrite is much better but the mBox pro more tightly integrated with Pro Tools. Any thoughts from anyone on this? Can't wait to dive into this! :) Jason On Friday, December 27, 2013 8:58:16 AM UTC-5, Dread Beat Dadz wrote: This is the update with the accessibility improvements.

It does give you a lot of stuff and you can do things like mix automation and select regions and run the transport. I haven’t figured out how to get at inserts and sends in the mix view yet. I should try it on the iPad instead because it would fit a lot more at once. You can run four instances of it to handle 32 tracks at once. If I could get it to take the whole screen on the iPad i imagine I could get at a lot of stuff. You do get values for everything, and PT responds quickly to your commands. It’s a bit quirky getting it to connect to your wifi network sometimes but once it is on it works wherever you go.

Re: Lost a track in a paid session yesterday
Firstly, chances are, the audio you lost will be in the Audio Files folder. Secondly, control \ (or whatever that key is in the crook of the enter key), will make a new playlist, and control command \ (same key), makes a duplicate of the new playlist. Be mindful though, that if you make more than 5 or so playlists, the oldest ones seem to disappear, and I'm not entirely sure why. I don't usually make that many takes though, so I didn't bother looking into it. I'm not sure if there's a shortcut for moving between playlists.

It's been a long ride and I've been thinking about this for some time. I've managed to develop important relationships with the folks at Avid and I'm pleased that we managed to get the issue of accessibility onto a level of IL support just like other international languages. It was a pivotal moment. I feel I've done all I can do for now. Avid continues to be committed to the end result of making Pro tools accessible and I have no doubt that the work will continue. I've approached Rick Boggs about taking the reigns, so to speak. The fact is, he's the one that started the whole ball rolling almost 20 years ago when Digidesign first helped make Pro Tools accessible with outSPOKEN. Rick is an excellent communicator and I think he'll be effective in continuing the relationship that we've worked to build over the years. I encourage you all to support him. I'm obviously not disappearing. I'll still help whenever possible. I appreciate those who have supported me throughout the years.

Re: Where can i read up on setting tempos from a blindness perspective?
Hiya, If you can find it, Kevin Reeves podcast on the subject is very useful, and covers tempo changes amongst other things. Go to the event menu, then down to Tempo, then choose. You have constant, which changes the tempo perminantly, or you can set up different curves. I believe, that if you change the tempo, then play in with MIDI, then adjust the tempo again, the MIDI follows the tempo. This is not true of audio however. Don't forget, there is always QWS which you can use after exporting MIDI. I know I say this a lot, but I honestly, haven't found an easier way to edit MIDI.

I have connected almost all busses i need to different tracks and am just about ready to roll, when i realized i have got another stupid newbie question for y'all. I know i can tap a tempo to set for the project, but no matter how much i click the tempo ruler thingymajig, PT doesn't allow me to do this. I can swear i saw somewhere how to change tempo of the project, but can for the life of me not remember where, so now i'm looking for somewhere to read up on this, anyone know where i can get this reading up done? And i should mention that this is from a blind persons perspective. Also is it possible to slow down a projects tempo in order to record specially fiddly bits and then return to the normal tempo afterwards, since it's apparently quite hard to edit midi in PT 10, which i use? Thanks in advance again. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: Running PT 9 and 10 on the same system

Can you convert just the session files without the accompanying audio out of interest? Last night when I had a breif bit of access to a PT 10 system, it wouldn't let me uncheck audio from the list of stuff it was gonna copy over during the conversion, and it would've taken longer to complete that task than I had at the time, these sessions are pretty huge once you get the audio involved. 24-bit 48 K, lots of tracks, lots and lots of takes etc. Scott On 9/13/13, Chris chris.norm...@googlemail.com wrote: Sent from my iPad On 13 Sep 2013, at 07:59, Scott Chesworth scottcheswo...@gmail.com wrote:I know this is possible with the new pro tools version, but short of you getting that, I can only offer my services to convert your files, if that would be of any use.

I've just received some sessions in PTX format, but I only have a license for PT 9 which needs PTF format. In 10, I know I can save a copy in the required format, so considering that time is of the esscence on these projects, I'm thinking of installing a trial of 10 to convert the stuff rather than sending the drive back, waiting for the band to convert and return everything etc. Ran into this situation once before, but that time I ended up using a friend's system to do the conversion so I never got to test whether this is possible.

Re: Can someone please try this out real quick?
Sort of makes sense in a strange way... While the number pad commander is on, there's a eky which toggles stuff, but it won't toggle if it's off I suppose. On 01/07/2013 15:48, Mark Borsina wrote: I've already tried this on 2 computers with 2 operating systems, SL 10.6.8 and Lion 10.7.5. It seems in VO utilities some of the features which are toggle commands with the numpad commander don't work on both desktop computers. Specifically if someone can try going into VO utilities and follow these steps 1. under categories go to commanders and select the first tab which is numpad, 2. check the box that says numpad commander and interact with the numpad commander table 3. choose any key of your liking either with or without a modifier, it doesn't matter. 4. hit the popup menu and go to general and scroll down to toggle numpad commander on and off. At this point you are supposed to be able to toggle this feature but I can only get it to turn off and never toggle back. This is also Happening with control option lock and quicknav on and off when the numpad is not engaged. I'd like to figure out why this is happening and I'm surprised that nobody since SL 10.6.8 has ever come across this? I've searched everything I could on Google and there is nothing about it.

Re: A comment and question
You can add MIDI tracks happily, you can set their inputs and outputs, I do it regularly. What you can't do so far as I know, is edit stuff on the track, but that's what QWS is for! You say about the accessibility of Pro Tools, but I do the recording for my band, and we've churned out loads of stuff for it. There's a few guys on here using Pro Tools as their main DAW for paid work, so it can't be all bad. As for beta testers, I believe there are blind / visually impaired people on the beta team.

I can't think of the name of the particular control surface but there was one mentioned some years ago that made the functions not 100 percent accessable but pretty close but I can't remember what it was at this point. This is the frustrating thing about this kind of thing is that it is 1 step then 2 steps back then 2 steps forward and 1 or 2 steps back. It seems as though we will never catch up but I know it takes time. You almost need to have someone who is blind doing some part time work with this company to test the software when it is an alpha version and or beta so this person can say no this is broke, you need to redo this or that. Some one had sed if you want to add midi tracks to a project that this was unaccessable from the keyboard of the mac but is there any way around this using a control surface? It would be interesting to have a list of the current limitations of the software so you know what you can do and what can not be done at this point. I realize that is a little hard to do because the list would change from release to the next release for the better or worse at this point.

One thing I am wondering about. Are there control boards or consoles that one can connect to the computer running Protools that allow functions to be performed from that control surface? Could a person use these control consoles to do functions with Protools that can not be done from the mac keyboard? One idea I would think would be to get the Protools software accessable to a point and the controls that were not accessable from the mac keyboard could be done from one of these control surfaces or consoles. This whole issue has me verry concerned. If the protools software could be made accessable 100 percent, just think what opportunitys this could open up to young blind students who are intrested in multitrack recording. This could be possible employment for some in studios making a good living at what they love to do.

Re: Info request about pro tools express
Ah, Pro Tools LE, I see... Well, from what little I know, it is all the same code etc, so Pro Tools LE should be just as accessible as Pro Tools native. With regards to Mountain Lion, you're about right. Protools 8.04 I think, Pro Tools 9 all versions, and Protools 10, all work fine on Snow Leopard and Lion, but some things are not accessible under Mountain Lion. You can still d stuff, but things like counters, which show the current position on the time line etc, aren't accessible under ML. This shouldn't be a problem though, as it's pretty trivial to partition your hard drive to install Lion on one partition, or just completely reformat the machine.

Sending MIDI Messages
Hi all, I've recently started playing with MIDI modules. Although I'm not a keyboard player, I wanted to take the load off my poor laptop, and use something like the Yamaha Motif Rack ES for MIDI, then record it into Pro Tools. What I'm wondering though, is there a way to send controlers from the computer keyboard, rather than the controller? Also, can I send SysEx? I know I can do all this with QWS, so if needs be, I can export the MIDI, put the relevant data in, then re-import, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Hi, I'm afraid I have no idea about any work arounds. I have never needed to change any parameters however. What may work for you, if you don't mind paying for it, in the absence of someone who can see the control panel and doesn't mind giving you a hand, is purchase a support code from M-Audio, or Avid, as it may be now, then use that.

What i wonder is: It seems as though the control panel software for the Projectmix is inaccessible on the Mac, none of the parameters of the control panel are visible as far as i understand, and yet there are things in the software that sometimes need to be changed, like what to send to headphones and outputs and the like, so my question is: Is there a workaround so i can reach the parameters of the Projectmix control panel or how do i otherwise change those parameters or is it even possible?

My best advice is to just keep at it, and read every message that comes across this list, even if you aren't interested in the subject matter. Above all, even when you get more used to pro tools, always read the newbie question threads, as there are a lot of fantastic folks on this list, who collectively I am sure, know all there is to know about pro tools. The question about specialist tracks is not a pro tools specific question as such, but I believe it has been covered on this list before all the same. Read through the list archives, and see if you can't find something in there that you find useful. Listen to Kevin's awesome podcast on an introduction to pro tools, as this was my bread and butter when I first started. As I am using the project mix, I would be glad to help you with it off list, via Skype if you want, on the understanding that you don't ring me every time you run into a problem. I'm not saying that because I don't want to help, but because I understand how tempting that can be, and also because it is the mistakes that you make, which do the teaching.

It has 8 touch sensitive faders, 100 MM I believe, and pan pots. You can hold down the option key on your keyboard and press a pan pot in, or touch a fader to return them to their default values, which is something I now miss in the Project Mix I/O. It hasn't got a transport bar though, at least not one which I found.

To delete a marker, select it and use the pop-up menu and choose the clear option. To set a nudge value, click the nudge value button and use the numeric keypad to type the value and press Enter when you're done. You need to consider the format. If your session is in bars/beats, you need to type the relevant values. If it's in minutes/seconds, obviously, you'll need to follow that format. Use the decimal to advance the fields as you type. You can use the keyboard shortcuts of command-Option-plus and minus to cycle through the default values. For example, in minutes and seconds format, the defaults are 1 millisecond, 10 milliseconds, 100 milliseconds, 500 milliseconds and 1 second. In bars and beats, the values are a little different. Thery are 60 ticks, 120 ticks, 240 ticks, etc. I believe the documentation explains the various default nudge values. best, Slau On Feb 15, 2013, at 3:02 AM, eli4785elad davdovich wrote: hi all my name is elad and i have a few questions 1.does anyone have any experience with avid artist control controller as accessibility tool? 2.i tried to figure it out and didn't success if i set a marker at the wrong time and want to delete it how do i do it? 3.does the nudje value is accessible? thanks elad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: Breakthrough!! Changing presets on AAX plugs.
Hi all, Think I posted on this a while back. I've been using this for ages.

With AAX plugins, I can only ever manipulate the preset / insert / track menu, but that's worked well enough for me.

For a track that is not part of a group, simply solo the track while the transport is engaged. That's, of course, the simplest and most straight-forward way. 2. Go to the beginning of the session and, with the track selected, press the Tab key. check the start field or Main Counter display. If it reads anything other than bar 1, beat 1 or 0 seconds, that means something resides in the track. To verify whether the clip is at the beginning of the session or further in, go to the start of the session and press Control-Shift-Tab and look at the Length field. If it reads anything other than 0, that means there's a clip which begins right at the start of the session. If it reads zero, the first clip begins at some point after 0. Press Return to go to the beginning of the session and then press Control-Tab. This will move to and select the first clip in the timeline. Now you can take a look to see where the clip resides by reading the counter display.

Re: Good control surfaces
I'm using the Project Mix I/O. Like the Digi003 (I think), it has 8 mic pre amps. I've not got the transport bar to work, but then I haven't tried with it much. I'm using it as both control surface, and sound module, and I think it's great. It also has the advantage of being cheap.

I find taking audio classes helps a lot in learning about the best methods for recording and placing microphones as I was told if you have a degree in audio engineering from a school even if you don't want to do this as a full time job it sure helps to learn from professionals who know what they are doing and have years of doing recording and mixing skills.

M-audio and others make an USB midi keyboard that can trigger your patches or sequencers such as the korg motif, Or Roland’s phantom or drum controllers like the akai and others can be used as stand alone midi controllers.

I am in the market for getting a new keyboard to use with my ProTools setup. I have a few models in mind, but the one that really stands out is the Yamaha Motif. So, I have a few questions. First of all, I assume that this keyboard would be totally compatible with PT based on what I've read and seen. Second of all, here's the little favor I have to ask. I know that a butt load of you don't do this stuff as a hobby, but more as a living to put food on your table, clothes on your back, and nappies on your kids bum bums, OK, juwst kidding on the last one, LOL! but bottom line is, you don't do free work, nor do I expect anyone to, but hear me out on this. I also understand this is probably not exactly the list to ask this, so I'm gonna keep this very direct, to the point, short and sweet, and very sparing. Basically, I've looked at a Motif, yes. but the thing is, within PT, I'm wanting to use the main samples that come on the keyboard itself, so I'd probably run it through it's line out, into my interface. The only thing is, I've heard some of the samples, like the grand pianos a few of the guitars, maybe a few of the drum kits, etc. but I never really have heard them in context. I've heard a few sequences which have been done but it didn't really give me a good idea, as it's not really exactly the style I'll be doing. With this said, I'm not going to sit here and ask any of you to do Beethoven's fifth synthany or something complex, don't worry, that's not even my style, but rather let's take this real easy. I want to hear something in context, a song that I actually know and can follow, so that I can better not only hear the samples in context but can even know what exactly I'm listenning for. With music I don't know, it's hard as I don't exactly know where things should go in the first place. I don't want anything major, but if any of you on here have a motif, and a way to patch it through PT, using the internal sequencer just within the Motif itself, and all onboard samples, nothing from a soft synth what so ever, let's just say something with only 2 chords the whole way through, just basically C, and G/G7. It's not really my choice of music, but it's something very easy that I don't think would take much any effort to do. Could someone maybe make me an mp3 of basically piano, drums, base and maybe guitar doing Skip to my Lou? I know again this isn't really the list to ask this per sey. I promise I'm not gonna keep asking. I'm making this one request, and that'll be the end of it, no questions asked. I cross my heart! I just want to hear in real time what I'm getting. This way, I can better decide if indeed the motif really will have the sound I'm looking for when certain samples are combined. I don't need anything done real fancy. Just wsomething like this simple that will give me an idea. If willing, my e-mail address is: clgillan...@gmail.com I also know this probably will not happen over night. Take all the time you need. If it takes upward of a week, that's fine. Just let me know however that if I am willing to be patient, you will do it for me. This way I keep in the loop. OK, enough said. I'm finnished.

Hiya mate, Let me be the first of many to welcome you to the list, it's always great to get new people using PT. I don't know anything about broadcasting, but I bet Pro Tools will be more than up to the task. I have definitely seen people using it, in fact, I did some work experience in a studio where they used Pro Tools to create their adverts, using time stretch and stuff to get the audio to the right length, applying music beds, fx, etc. Don't be frightened of the learning curve, though it will be pretty steep. I have been using the platform for over a year now, and still I read many posts across this list that teach me. Read everything, even if you don't think it'll apply to you, as I have often been surprised by the contents of threads that I have initially had no interest in. Anyways, welcome again, and I hope Pro Tools is everything you hope it is! I certainly love it for the modest work I do with it. Have fun, and I'm sure we'll be hearing from you!

Re: protools vs sonar with caketalking
Hiya mate, I'm going to if not have a stab at this, but try and give some ideas. Firstly, I don't think MIDI editing is too great under Pro Tools. What I do, and it's by no means a great solution, but it works for the basic stuff I do, is record a basic track in PT, then export the MIDI, and edit it with QWS, which (I know) is a windows program, but it's great, little, and does what I need it to do. The other thing you could do, is google Dnacing Dots. I'm not sure if this is what it's called nowa days, but I seem to remember the open source community doing some work on a Python-based braille music editing thing a while ago. It might not even be running any more, but it used to be. The other one you could keep an eye on, although don't hold your breath, is Logic, which is not as accessible as you'd want it to be at the moment, but is rumoured to be improving. Finally, you can import MIDI and probably other stuff exported from Cebalious.

I actually have not gotten any error reports directly related to the audio interface, though. However, sonar has been crashing quite often after inserting instances of e.g. the demension pro synth, which should not be any big deal at all. Also there are problems with some caketalking hotkeys that inspite of the good setup cause sonar to crash. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this problem, maybe that's also a matter of reinstalling sonar all the way. The bottom line is that I would love to be able to do everything on the mac side of things without having to rely on the entire windows 7 story at all. I don't know, wether this is currently realistic. Don't get me wrong, especially as a rather inexperienced user of audio software I'm actually quite happy with something like the caketalking scripts and their documentation, but I hope there might come a day that I'll be able to say bye-bye to windows all together. Actually, the same goes for the interminable search foor accessible notation software like sibelius or finale for the mac. Currently I'm still using sibelius3 on windows xp with Jaws 6.1 and the sibspeaking scripts of dancingdots. Works perfectly, but hopelessly out of date! But what to do if there doesn't seem to be an alternative solution that does the same job. Well, hope that makes things a little clearer. Still very grateful for any input on these issues.

In short, for all my other programs I am a convinced mac user. I'm experiencing some serious stability issues with sonar and windows and I'm slowly getting really sick of that. About one and a half years ago I heard for the first time a podcast by kevin Reeves about pro tools being accessible and was really thrilled. However, back then he concluded with the notion that it was great for recording audio but not if you wanted to record soft synths and work a lot with midi editing etc. That was one of the main reasons I went for sonar back then. Could anyone on this list advice me if there has been any significant progress on that matter. Another reason for me for going for sonar back then was the extensive documentation provided especially for blind users by dancingdots, since I was a total new comer on this subject. I don't expect the learning curve on pro tools to be low, though. As composer/arranger I've produced my work as sheet music, however I want to be able to produce it as well using sophisticated soft synth sounds and sample libraries. Is that doable with pt? Well, that's about it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot! Cheers Thomas -- Take care, Chris Norman. !-- chris.norm...@googlemail.com --

I'm just wonderring if any a you guys have also seen this behavior and if so, aside adding a dummy track temporarily, is there a better work-around? chris.
Re: A few basic commands forgotten
Look in the counter cluster for time base. HTH, Sent from my iPhone On 10 Jan 2013, at 00:51, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: OK, this is really really bad. Kevin would kill me seeing we worked so extensively on this in our lessons. Why this is slipping my mind, I am unsure. A few questions though: 1. How do I increase/decrease my zoom ratio? Like, if I hit the num pad plus and minus keys, or while not playing, I hit num pad 1 and num pad 2 repetedly. Basically, I wanna adjust the amount of area I cover each time I hit those keys. This way if I need to do something really tight, I can, or if I need to zoom in where I can move in bigger chunks, I can. I thought it was command+option+num pad plus and minus, but apparently not. That doesn't seem to be working. 2. I know about using command+num pad plus and minus, or option+minus or plus, but I kind a remember when selecting audio, that I could select in bigger chunks with command+num pad 1 or 2, or option+num pad 1 or two, depending on which side of the selection I'm moving. That doesn't seem to be working though, and I can't for the life a me figure out why not. The final question is, where do I go to change the edit counter cluster so that instead of it measuring time based off ticks/beats/bars, it bases it off hour, minute, seconds? I gotta track I need to mix but it's spoken word, not music, so doing this in musical time signature is gonna be a mess! Thank you. Again, why these commands are slipping my mind, I don't know. I'd be happy to go look at the keyboard shortcut guide, but right now, I don't really have anything other than Preview for viewing P D F files, and to me, I never have been able to get my head around Preview. If someone else has any other sollutions, I'd be extremely! greatful to know an easier way, as I really do wanna start looking more into reading the docs, as I'm a very firm believer in that being essential to me learning things optymally.
