compressor question
Hello all, Since we do not have access to metering in the compressors in PT, how are you all wrking around this as far as knowing how much gain reduction is occurring when you are compressing. Is the workaround to bypass the compressor, and then go look at the track meter to determine how much gain reduction is happening so you would know how much makeup gain to add back in? Just am curious to see what some of the workarounds are to dealing with no metering in the compressors in PT.

Re: compressor question
Good morning, my friend. Hope this finds you well. The method that you outlined is pretty well how I do it personally. Yeah, if there is an easier way, it would definitely be appreciated if someone could share a little tip with us two.

Re: compressor question
Hi Brian, Heres one way to do it. step 1 Mark a hot spot on bypass in the plugin. step 2 mark a hotspot on makeup gain or where ever you want to push up the gain. Step 3 use your EARS and go back in forth from hotspot to hotspot, bypassing as you go until you reach the desired output level for your track. This is also a good way to see if your smashing it or not.

delay question
Hello folks, While playing around with some of the native delays that we have in protools, frankly, I can't remember which delay I was playing with, everything looked accessible, but I was wondering about one thing. In the delay, I saw where you could set the note duration for the delay, but when I interacted with that parameter, it looked a little confusing. I saw things like 4T, 8D, etc. I also saw a parameter where you could set what looked like the time signature for the delay because I saw 4/4 etc, but wasn't sure if that was what it was for or not. Could someone shed some light on the delays in PT? Are there any delays that any of you would recommend more to use over others because the accessibility might be better in one than another?

RE: compressor question
Chuck, Thanks for this. So what do you do if you know on a track you only want to give 3 DB's of compression, do you still use your track meters when the plugin is bypassed to see how much compression is occurring on the track? I definitely understand using your ears, but I just meant with that scenario, if you knew you wanted to only give a track 2-3 db's of compression, how would you handle that with no meter access? I guess with compression in pt, your track meters are your friend.

Re: compressor question
Hi Brian, Your ears are your friend! Meters are guides not god's! Until the meters are fixed in upcoming pt releases just make it sit in the mix where it sounds good. You could run automation or use clip gain but the bottom line is how does it sound! :) Throw a waves l2 or l3 on the last insert of the master and as Slau would say! every things BOB ;) Chuck YMMV CHUCK REICHEL soundpicturerecord...@gmail.com www.SoundPictureRecording.com 954-742-0019 Isaiah 26 : 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
