Re: feedback needed for Pro Tools 12
Yes, being able to adjust slider values in larger increments would be massively helpful. And gain reduction feedback in compressors too. I'm a bit unsure what happens when you increase the volume on a track. If you have a compressor insert on that track, does the volume adjustment affect the level before or after the compressor? In sonar there was a trim and a volume option. Thanks aplenty Slau.

Re: feedback needed for Pro Tools 12
Hi guys, The issue of changing plug-in values in greater increments is one of those situations where a paradigm shift would need to take place for it to be different. That, of course, might happen at some point but not right now—not yet, at least. For the time being, a control surface is your friend and you can change parameter values at whichever rate you choose. Be assured, however, that plug-in issues will be looked at for the long run. The reduction meters are also on the list. Mind you, of course, I will have one day to address all concerns and we simply won't get to everything. Whatever we gain is better than nothing and I'm hopeful that a number issues can be addressed.

Re: feedback needed for Pro Tools 12
The faders are Post compressor. This means that when you turn up the level, you are increasing what happens after compression is applied. In the compressor plug, there's an input fader as well, so you can feed more into the comp if you want. Hope this helps.

Using your ears is fine, However, with compressors that feature automatic make up gain, it could be quite tricky to hear what the compressor is actually doing, because the gain is being made up in real time as you adjust the controls.

Oh I agree regarding auto makeup gain. You want to train yourself using a compressor that allows you to turn auto makeup off, or doesn't have it at all. i.e. i fthere's a manual makeup gain control, leave it off while you're playing with things.

Re: Pro-tools 12 just released
Yes, from what Slau said in a different post it sounded like there's nothing new in terms of accessibility in 12 right now, I also hope nothing is broken. I'm not 100% on this yet, but from what I could find out so far it looks like upgrading from 11 to 12 will cost $199. So now I'm just wondering, if I baught PT11 a month or so ago, what would have happend, what about the entire all updates free for the year of your support plan thing? I would have kicked myself if I baught PT11 just a week ago but luckally some things got in the way, I'll get clarity on upgrading from 11 to 12 and whether it might be free, then I'll decide whether to buy now or wait a bit longer.

Hi Slau So just to be clear, in terms of accessibility, nothing really new in 12 but also nothing broken? On 3/22/15, Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com wrote: I'm not going to be breaking any NDA by saying this and, besides, it's no secret that Pro Tools 12 will be coming out soon, like, maybe even tomorrow. Please be aware that there is essentially nothing different about its accessibility. There's a newly designed I/O Setup but, to a VoiceOver user, it appears much the same. If anything, there are a few extra controls. The authorization aspect of Pro Tools will be changing and it's unclear whether this will change right from this new release or whether it'll be incorporated over time but it won't be any more accessible than standard iLok authorization for now. Be assured, however, that it will be made accessible. More info to come as it becomes clearer.

Re: a word about Pro Tools 12
Hi, Does anyone know if the digi 003 with the moving controls is supported in Pro Tools version 12? I was mainly asking as I don't want to upgrade unless I can use it or if there is an option to trade it in for a newer interface with moving controls. Nick Gawronski On 3/23/2015 3:27 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: To my knowledge, all should be the same with the possible exception of the authorization which was already beginning to transition. In other words, neither the iLok method or the built-in method is accessible yet. Both will be accessible in time, probably one before the other. At any rate, I've only had beta experience and, to me, it looks the same as far as I can tell. Mind you, I'll have to purchase an upgrade like everyone else but for the HD users, the cost is $599 and I won't be using it on the new machine yet so I might wait just a little while. Apparently, there's no option for a co-install of 11 and 12. Therefore, it would seem to me that this means no co-install of 10 and 12 as well. There's a lot of confusion about what the real case is.

Re: a word about Pro Tools 12
To my knowledge, all should be the same with the possible exception of the authorization which was already beginning to transition. In other words, neither the iLok method or the built-in method is accessible yet. Both will be accessible in time, probably one before the other. At any rate, I've only had beta experience and, to me, it looks the same as far as I can tell. Mind you, I'll have to purchase an upgrade like everyone else but for the HD users, the cost is $599 and I won't be using it on the new machine yet so I might wait just a little while. Apparently, there's no option for a co-install of 11 and 12. Therefore, it would seem to me that this means no co-install of 10 and 12 as well. There's a lot of confusion about what the real case is. This is all pretty new to everybody so it's probably a good idea to wait until the dust settles.

Re: feedback needed for Pro Tools 12
Hi Brian, I see your question has already been answered, but it raises another one. The way its phrased suggests that you can read gain reduction with your current setup. I'm curious about what you're using, just because in both of my regular DAWs it isn't doable. Feel free to drop me a line off list so we don't stray off topic.

And gain reduction feedback in compressors too. I'm a bit unsure what happens when you increase the volume on a track. If you have a compressor insert on that track, does the volume adjustment affect the level before or after the compressor? In sonar there was a trim and a volume option. Thanks aplenty Slau.

I agree with Gord, it would be cool to change plugin values in larger increments. Also, it would be nice to be able to read gain reduction meters in compressor plugins both stock and 3rd party. Also, there are 2 popup menus in the select-split notes dialog that do not work with voiceover. This dialog is accessed with option y.

Click is definitely an issue that needs to be resolved. For now, all of the parameters are accessible via a control surface. For those who don't have a surface, I'll see if I can come up with a number of presets to help in the mean time. I'm leaving town this week and will be gone for 2 weeks so it'll be a while. The status of the Input monitor button is identified by its name. VoiceOver indicates when it's engaged but not when it's not engaged. In other words, much like a mute button that is off, you'll only hear the name of the button as opposed to hearing that it's in its on state. Hope that helps. best, Slau On Mar 22, 2015, at 5:17 PM, John Gunn gu...@tznet.com wrote: Hello Slau, Great you are meeting with a programmer and here are a couple of things I have. First when selecting a click sound other then the default click, I am unable to choose for example cowbell, stick ETC. This of course is setting up a click track. Secondly and this might be user error on my part but is there a way finding the status of a track if it is set to input monitor? Tryied to bounce a session last week and message unable to bounce because of input monitor. Feel free to let me know if I am way off base on any of my feedback.

Under the circumstances of my trip, Avid has allowed for this meeting to be scheduled barring any last minute crisis with the release of Pro Tools 12. This will be largely driven by bug submissions already within the beta system but I wanted to get a sense of what the user base is focused on day to day. My goal is to address quality-of-life issues that affect the use of Pro Tools with VoiceOver. For example, the way the inserts and, in particular, sends are displayed is simply awful. This needs to be overhauled. There are a number of such issues that can hopefully be taken care of in one marathon session of tweaks. I have a clear idea of what I personally think should be addressed but I thought I'd take the temperature of the community. What I'm asking of the list is for people to enumerate 3 to 5 things that most affect their productivity and would like to see improved. Now, I don't mean for people to suggest a different method for importing files to an existing track. That's a bigger fish to fry and the subject of a longer term solution. These are, as I said, quality-of-life issues that can be addressed quickly. Also, don't bring up issues in version 10. We're talking existing issues in version 11. Give me your top 3 or top 5 items and we'll see which seem to reveal themselves as the biggest concerns. The
