Re: Confused about busses
Hi Gordon, Here is the solution to your friends I/O set up getting messed up. Tell your friend with the full tdm system before he opens your session to go and make sure to uncheck Sessions overwrite current I/ O Setup Have Him Follow this path find the set up menu; next find the I/o; open the I/O window, then find option for Sessions overwrite current I/O Setup which is located near the bottom of the PT I/O set up window. MAKE SURE that Sessions overwrite current I/O Setup when opened; is unchecked to prevent your session that your sending to Him changing his I/O. Call me for further details if you want. YMMV GOD Bless Chuck Reichel 954-742-0019 www.SoundPictureRecording.com On Aug 4, 2011, at 11:38 PM, Gordon Kent wrote: Hi: Usually when I set up a track in PT, I just assign the output to a physical hardware output. How can I use all those busses they give you and where do you go to route their outputs to the appropriate hardware? When I send a PT session I've done to someone I do a lot of work with who has a full tdm system, it messes up all his i/o routing. I figured that if I just route all my tracks to a master bus instead of hardware, it might help the situation. Any ideas about this would be welcome.

Hi Gazza, Use Command-Option-1 to use Commands focus mode. There are two other modes which are, if I remember correctly, Audio Regions and Groups focus mode and they are Command-Option-2 and Command-Option-3 respectively. There's also a keyboard focus button right in the window but, if the tracks list isn't displayed, you can't access that button. what Kevin mentioned about the Mix window display buttons should help you get it to be visible. I think there's also a menu item to display the tracks list.

Then, after months and months of using Logic, I come across Keven's tutorial and discover that, once you've got more than one track in the session, the track list is usable by VO and that's what I wanted to do initally, quickly find a track, mute, solo and arm. However, whilst I can select the tracks in the track list, Shift m r and s are not working for me regardless of what I seem to try. So I googled around and found that this seems to have something to do with keyboard focus mode? I'm using PT 8.4 by the way, and these keys apparently are available in 8.4? So, How, in the name of sanity, do I get that functionality to work where I can sit in the track list and mute, solo and arm and unarm? My other question is, How do I get the track list to be displayed in the mix window? PT is only letting me cursor over there if I'm in the edit window but Kevin seemed to be able to get there whilst in the mix window? Finally, for now, what's the quickest way to get to the track list? I'm often using vo i to bring up the items list and typing table to filter the list and selecting track list table, however if you've got a gazillion tracks in your session, it takes a while for the itme list to pop up. Any thoughts on that one? Thanks Gazza Chuck Reichel 954-742-0019 www.SoundPictureRecording.com
what was this warning message at pro tools installation?
Hi all, I remember a warning about a mac shortcut that should be deactivated in order for a given pro tools shortcut to work as expected. But where can I find this message back? Was it important? Best, JPR http://www.facebook.com/jprykiel http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel
Re: what was this warning message at pro tools installation?
The warning during installation is about the Command+Space shortcut. That's the shortcut to start recording in PT, so yup, it's pretty important lol. From memory, you can deactivate the OS from grabbing this shortcut and free it up for Pro Tools to use in System Prefs, Keyboard, shortcuts tab, then it's to be found in the Spotlight commands of the shortcuts table.

Re: Confused about busses
Hey Gordon, What Chuck described should work fine. While that's the more preferable solution, there's another simple solution that'll solve the problem even without having to make sure the I/O Setup is configured properly for overwriting configurations and that is to simply unassign all outputs. You can do this by Option-clicking any output on any track and choosing no output. Anyone opening the session will first have to assign the outputs by essentially doing the opposite. Regarding busses, they're not assignable to outputs directly. That is, much like analog consoles, they have to eventually be assigned to a fader which, in turn, is assigned to a physical output. When saving a session, you can leave your busses assigned and the assignments will remain intact on other systems. HTH, Slau
Re: what was this warning message at pro tools installation?
Hey man. THe message referred to the Spotlight hotkey, which is command space. To disable it, go to system prefs, spotlight. Then, uncheck the hotkey or reassign it. This will allow command space to be assigned to record in Pro TOols. Hope this helps. Kevin
Re: A little introduction and greeting from Italy.
Hi all, I am talking to Diego about Kevin's wonderful podcasts, but using Italian (I am italian too! :)). Ciao Diego, sono Vincenzo Rubano, sono anche io in Universal Access... Dunque, esistono alcuni podcast, creati da Kevin Reeves, iscritto a questa lista... Ovviamente sono in inglese, però si seguono senza grossi problemi (o almeno per me) è così. Sono molto, molto chiari... Il suo sito è questo: http://www.kevinreeves.net Ciao! Vincenzo.
a request conserning the podcasts
I have been looking for the podcasts but I have only found 1 or 2 of them I was wondering if some body would mind bundling them as a zip file or at least reposting the links together. Thanks much Jake
Re: a request conserning the podcasts
There's only 2 long ones and 2 short ones so far, so you're not at all behind. I'll zip them and redistribute them when I finish all of it.

Re: Hiss/Static on MBox 2
So it appears that the problem was my Mic. It's fairly sensitive to everything, and much of what I reported was the result of that. The solution was to get a foam that seems only to come with a slightly higher end model of what I have. The sound now, is beautiful. ...feeling a bit ashamed for not knowing about this before. But this is just a note to say thanks.

Second, I would try to change the cable using th same condenser Mic that makes you unhappy. Doing this you can establish if it is a Phantom power problemor a preamp problem. You should do some trouble shooting. Let's us know about. Have a nice day. Diego. 2011/8/3, Abdul D Kamara abduldkam...@googlemail.com: HI Kevin, So I have been poking around the search engines for an answer to the problem, to no avail. Most who have reported the same problem, rule out the Mic, or at least that of the same make as mine, which seems to corroborate your hypothesis.

I cannot determine if it is an issue with the MIc, but certainly the hiss/static and occasional pops invariably occur when the Mic is connected and powered, which (by the way) connects via XLR. I have come across others on the Avid Forums dealing with the same issue, but someone has yet to post an answer. Any clue? A
