Re: an alternative to x-form

2023-03-12 Thread Jean-philippe Rykiel
Well, if you are moving to logic Pro, I would advise you to export your 
ProTools project and imported to Logic pro.


But I'm surprised that ProTools doesn't provide pitch/time stretch tools 
like all other daws.


Cheers,

Hi Jean:
I know that  Logic will do the trick, but now am still in pro tools to finish 
some unfinished projects, so, are there alternatives that i can use to finish 
my last project?

Hello all:
My avid complete plugin bunndle has expired, and frankly i will not renew it

alternative to x-form for changing any pitch for an audio track? also for 
changing the audio length?

Re: Does anyone know if this is accessible, even if it means getting NKS presets? Fwd:  The King of Harmonizers: H3000 Factory

2022-07-14 Thread Jean-philippe Rykiel
Well, nothing will sound as good as recording your own harmonies one by 
one, and maybe retuning them a little bit if you need to. All these 
plug-ins sounds awfully robotic in my opinion, and this is due to a lack 
of randomness I guess. Remember that all they do is change the pitch of 
already existing material, so the smallest inflections or vibratos will 
be mimicked on each Harmony,thus all lines will be exact parallels, 
which is never the case in real life.


If you really want to use them, You may be able to humanise the result 
by adding a small delay on each voice, but not the same length for each 
of course.


But I tell you, try singing Each line and maybe give them a little pitch 
correction if you need and you will be much much happier.


Cheers,

JPR

If you want authentic sounding harmonies, Harmony engine is still my 
favorite. Izotope’s Nectar gives good results but I haven’t tried 
nectar 3 yet for accessibility. Other notable mentions are Izotope’s 
Vocal synth and QuadraVox or Octo Vox from Eventide, however those 
aren’t as realistic sounding.


Load harmony engine as a stereo instance on a track and use the Volume 
and pan controls for each voice for best results.

Aa, ok, so it's not for vocal harmoney. Yeah, that's definitely what 
I wanted, as I cannot figure out Antares Harmoney EVO to save my

settings I pick, it sounds absolutely terrible! It isn't me not 
knowing how the plugin works, as I do. And I know how to set the 
intervals etc, but even doing that, it doesn't work at all as expected.



I know it can be done, as I've heard others use it successfully, but 
how they're doing it is way beyond me.



I thought TC Helicon made a plugin based on one of their harmoney 
pedals, but I've yet been able to find it, and even if I did, I'm 
told that it isn't very accessible, not even with VOCR.

Re: OT, an incredible stem extraction software

2022-01-10 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel
Hi Gordon,
I wouldn’t say so. For example Izotop RX is partly accessible, even though you 
cannot draw things, you still can do a lot with its modules and their 
parameters. Same with mellodyne, that is partly accessible on PC, even though 
the user interface changes so much with every new version, but it’s really hard 
for the Scriptures to follow…
As far as  Rip X is concerned, what I understood is that once you import a file 
into it, it divides it into things that look a lot like tracks. And they are 
called Drums, Bass, Vocal, and Guitar and so on. What could be less accessible 
is the processing,  tuning , of ime, of time shifting and so on areas of this 
plug-in. But I’m pretty sure the basics could be accessible and we could easily 
mute or set each of these tracks levels…
Hope someone will try that.
Cheers,
JPR

Juce is a UI framework upon which many audio plugins are based. It makes 
very nice GUIs, but until now has had absolutely *no* accessibility 
support; it just makes nice pictures that can only be used via mouse.


Here is a beta release which apparently has accessibility support. If 
anyone here knows any plugin devs who use juce in their product, perhaps 
they could test this release and allow some real users to beta test for 
accessibility.


This could be a huge win for us I think.

 For a couple of months, a few of us have been working on a project

inclusion of Samplitude on Windows. Taking it a step further still, 
the idea was floated to have a live panel discussion on the results 
of the comparisons.


So, as a first step, I'm sharing a series of files featuring each of 
the DAWs in action. There are 12 mp3s that divide various tasks among 
the workstations. Each task is performed in each DAW and the listener 
gets an idea of the UI layout, feedback, etc. In total, there's over 
4 hours of material. The live panel discussion will take place next 
week and you'll hear more about that when I See Music posts a link. 
For now, feel free to share the link and teaser below:

Fwd: [vipaudioaccess] DAW Comparison, Reaper, Samplitude, Logic and ProTools.

2020-10-23 Thread Jean-philippe Rykiel



Hi folks.

Next Friday October 30^th , there is a webinar hosted by iSeeMusic on 
the topic of DAW’s and how specific tasks are achieved in each of them


This is to answer any questions arising from those who are interested in 
the different workflows each DAW offers. I was asked to represent 
Samplitude, so the 4 dAW’s are Reaper, Samplitude, Logic and ProTools.


Prior to this webinar, there are a bunch of audio files that have been 
recorded by each representative demonstrating around 10 specific tasks. 
Each task is demonstrated in each DAW before moving on to the next task. 
They are not tutorials, just demonstrations.


If you want to attend this webinar, or simply want to listen to the 
demonstrations, you can register and download the files below:

Message from Eventide Artist Dweezil Zappa In his time away from 
touring, Dweezil Zappa has been working hard to address the difficulties 
musicians have faced both before and during Covid-19.
View this email in your browser 



 




 *Reward Music - Helping Artists Survive*


In his time away from touring, Eventide Artist Dweezil Zappa 
 
has been working hard to address the difficulties musicians have faced 
both before and during Covid-19.



 “The global pandemic has turned the touring industry upside down
 and crippled musicians abilities to plan their lives and earn a
 living in a predictable way.”
 /-Dweezil Zappa/


When we spoke with him recently, Dweezil said, “I’ve spent the past 14 
years playing 80 - 100 shows a year. The global pandemic has turned the 
touring industry upside down...” Touring musicians were barely getting 
by before the shut down and, now,  the crisis is shining a bright light 
on a system that is broken. A system that is fundamentally unfair. 
Dweezil said it best, “Music has become monetized as a service industry 
and artists are paying the price.”


Mindful that necessity is the mother of invention, Dweezil became 
involved with the development of a Humane Technology platform to invent 
a way for artists to connect to their fans directly. This cuts out the 
“middleman”, and allows artists to receive fair value for their work.


Reward Music 
 
is a platform that puts the artist in control by providing a single, 
easy-to-use, integrated channel for artists to display their merchandise 
and broadcast their complete catalog of audio and video content to their 
fans.


*Dweezil is excited to share Reward Music directly with the Eventide 
community. All Eventide users will have the chance to dive into the 
platform with two months of free service beginning on September 28th. To 
redeem, just enter code "EVENTIDE1" at checkout.

Fwd: UA to Observe "Blackout Tuesday"

 Message transféré 
Sujet : UA to Observe "Blackout Tuesday"
Date :  Tue, 02 Jun 2020 01:46:19 + (UTC)
De :Bill Putnam 
Pour :  jp.ryk...@orange.fr



Universal Audio
 



Dear UA Friends and Family,

These are challenging times, and they are becoming more so every day. In 
light of recent events, Universal Audio will close normal operations 
June 2 in observance of "Blackout Tuesday. 
"


We do this in solidarity with our peers in the music industry in 
recognition of those hurting within the Black community. Put simply, 
this is no time for business as usual.


As founder of Universal Audio, I recognize that I have not suffered the 
abuse, intolerance, and racism that so many others have experienced for 
their entire lives. So what can I do personally? What should Universal 
Audio as a company do?


Observing Blackout Tuesday is our first step. This is a day to allow UA 
employees to reflect on the racism and injustice affecting our Black 
brothers and sisters worldwide. To this end, we will be sharing 
articles, hosting internal discussions, and addressing how we can do our 
part to promote justice and equality in our communities.


We struggled with whether or not to shut down our online store 
, 
but decided that a better path would be to donate 100% of Tuesday's 
online store proceeds to worthy organizations including 
Equal Justice Initiative 
 
and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund 
.


While UA is not an inherently "political" company, I believe we all have 
a responsibility to confront racism head-on, working in big and small 
ways to further equality and justice. We simply cannot return to the 
status quo, when the status quo is so clearly broken.


I invite all who are able to take some time tomorrow to think, reflect, 
and plan for a more free and fair world. This can be a significant 
opportunity for change, if we all do our part.


In the words of the late Robert Hunter, “Ain’t no time to hate.”

Peace and Sincerely,

Bill Putnam Jr.

Hi friends.

Modartt, the French company that released the first physically modelled 
piano by the name of Pianoteq, now releases Organteq, based on the same 
physical modelling technology, no samples.


I haven't tried it yet,  but I imagine they use Juce as their GUI 
platform, so I really can't tell how accessible it will be .

Nevertheless, it sounds amazing.

Happy listening,

Guys,


I want to look at getting a wave plugin that would be a reverb. Not 
delay, but actual reverb.



Is there anything which would be usable from Waves I could use with 
Voiceover that either has custom presets, or that the plugin, 
generally speaking, is accessible?

Juce accessibility, things are moving

2019-05-02 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

Dear friends,

this one could change our musical lives For good, so I hope you don't 
mind me posting it to several lists at a time.
Juce Is A set of libraries that are used to develop music applications. 
It is already being used by about 500 companies, among which Pianoteq, 
UVI, Korg,

Max, SampleModeling...
Juce Provides tools for developers that allows them to build 
applications that are compatible with every operating system, Windows, 
OS X, Linux, without

having to recode For each System.
This also means these Developers depend on Juce for things like their  
graphic interface.



there has been an ongoing discussion about Juce accessibility which is 
nul for the moment, if you are interested, the link is


https://forum.juce.com/t/juce-accessibility/15968/50


The good news is that a man known as reFX took part in the discussion, 
and has the solution for us. He needs testers of course, and he has set 
up a Google group For this purpose.


I don't have much technical details except that his solution would work 
on Mac and PC, so I think it's worth Joining his group and contributing 
to his prodject development.

Re: Protools vs Logic Pro, accessibility and productivity

Hello all!
Please please no flame wars!
I would really like to hear from expert users who used both Logic and 
Protools with VoiceOver on Mac OS. To be more precise, I mean the 
Flotools/Protools combination vs Flogic/Logic one.
After reading various release notes on Flotools.org, I came to 
conclusion that protools combined with Flotools offers an unparalleled 
productivity and efficiency with VoiceOver compared to that of Logic. 
Of course, you can deal with the quirks of the latter, but judging 
from the feature set of Flotools, querying, editing and manipulating 
the audio content in Protools is much faster than in Logic Pro.


Yes, I understand the difference between two DAWs. The purpose of this 
message is to affirm my conclusions, especially from users who are 
experts in using both.


Would you agree with my observations above? Are there any remaining 
weak points in Protools as far as accessibility is concerned?

Thanks for any pointers, tutorials, podcasts, etc.

This also means these Developers depend on Juce for things like their  graphic

I just spoke to someone from the Juce support team about our accessibility 
issues.
Useless to say that, if Juce  could give its clients an accessibility module, 
that would be the end of our problems, And all Plug-ins developed withJuce  
could instantly become
accessible at once. But Such a tool would take about six months and 
Approximately $111000 To develop. Who has this money?
Of course, Juce  is not Apple, not eaven Avid, and they cannot afford to pay 
for this development by themselves, especially since, after these six initial
months, comes an unpredictable time of maintenance, as things never work as 
expected…
So, two things could be done. One would be crowdfunding. but how many Blind 
musicians would be ready to pay, and how much, ?
Another solution would be to make companies that use Juce  for their plug-ins 
concerned With accessibility. If each company Invested a small amount of
money, something like 5000 each, if they feel accessibility would Also improve 
their image and reputation, Then the goal would be reached.
For this to work, they need testimonials from As many blind musician as 
Possible, who dream to use such plug-ins but can't.
I would be happy to be your Intermediate, and transmit all these testimonials 
to the Juce team, who will Transmit these to their 500 partners on our behalf.

So, what do you say?

In the case of iZotope I got together with Chris Smart and wrote them 
a letter explaining why they may wish to make products accessible. 
 They were very open to the idea and we managed to get a number of 
visually impaired testers on to the beta program.  Unfortunately they 
have had some internal restructuring done and the person who would 
have been able to restart the beta doesn’t have the power to do that. 
 I am still in talks with iZotope about resurrecting this beta program 
because I think it’s needed both on Windows and Mac and a number of 
you have been in touch with me expressing an interest in getting involved.

I suppose they started by Giving you all this market share blah blah,

Even smaller companies like Izotope made some of their products

As far as Avid is concerned, there is no financial consideration, per

funding. There's no question that, in the long run, having the 
company make it part of their standard workflow is the way to go. Of 
course, you can't compare Avid to an open-source company so it's 
quite different. Further, most developers are one-man operations and 
will definitely shy away from that kind of financial hit. In my 
opinion, it simply won't happen. If JUCE developers follow the 
practices set forth by Sound Radix, we're in good shape across dAW 
platforms. The remaining issue would be the presets problem and that 
is currently being looked at by several companies including Avid. The 
idea would be to create an industry-standard format that could be 
read by any dAW on any platform. It was raised earlier this year by a

Hi all.

So, what I would like you to do now, is right a little testimonial to

All I need is a quick bio, and a description of your frustration 
regarding accessibility.


As Cameron said, some folks From music software companies arn't even 
Aware that blind musicians use DAWS. So anything that sounds obvious to

Re: I need a little reverb: how can I do this?

2016-05-02 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

hi Chris.
In a DAW, effects never get recorded whatsoever. that is because they 
don't get inserted between your microphone and the track, but on the 
track itself. So you can change your effect settings, remove it, or do 
anything you want after the recording is done.

Try it for yourself before you get your vocalist to sing.

Guys,
I have a situation that I'm a little unsure how to deal with.  I have 
an Alesis Multi-Mix 4 USB audio interface.  This thing's pretty much 
bare bone as basic as they come.  There is absolutely no effects on 
this thing at all.  Absolutely none.  They do make a model that has 
effects onboard, but mine is the step model below that.
So, I have a vocalist who is going to be recording later this week in 
my studio.  They are a very good singer for the most part, but the 
issue is, they get a little nurvous hearing themselves naturally 
singing through a microphone.  Therefore, it's always been their thing 
to doctor their voice up by splashing auto-tune all over themselves, 
which of corse sounds God aweful in the long run. What we would like 
to do is, though I have direct monitorring on my interface, which yes, 
I can turn on or off, I don't have a way of sending reverb through the 
direct monitor output, which I really wouldn't ideally wanna do anyway.
I know in ProTools how to instantiate a reverb plugin on one of the 
inserts.  I also know how to route an audio track through a send and 
then send the signal to an auxiliary track, but the thing is, short of 
bumping the wet mix of that reverb way up, then just bringing it back 
down in the long run, is there a way I can somehow have an effect like 
reverb, or compression, or whatever plug I choose to only go through 
the monitorring of ProTools?  In other words, I want to hit shift R on 
the track to arm it, but I want seperet settings for what they hear 
through their headphones than what gets actually recorded into PT.  
Say I wanted them to hear themselves with lots of wet reverb, but I 
only wanted the actual recording on the track to have just a real real 
real slight shimmer of reverb which hardly is even audible.  Can I 
somehow separate what they hear from what goes through the actual DAW 
itself?  I just figure that if I can allow them not only to hear their 
voice back as they're singing, but if I can give them a little reverb, 
so they don't sound so dry, it may encourage them to relax a bit.

Chris.

dear Kevin.
The delete instrument function would be very important as well. Each 
time you load a new instrument, it will load in a subsequent channel, 
and not araise the current channel. So if you want to try different 
sounds on Channel one, you need to delete what ever is loaded in there 
first.

screen, much like Hotspot Clicker or Auto Hotkey on windows.


The topic of using Kontakt came up on the logic list. I responded with 
some ideas, which I'm posting below, as I feel it is absolutely 
relevant to the Pro Tools platform as well.


Begin Post.

I think that Kontakt could potentially be made somewhat usable in both 
logic and Pro Tools using Keyboard Maestro.
We need to do some experiments to see what variables prevent the mouse 
from clicking the correct coordinates.

The 4 main buttons that need to be mapped to key presses are as follows.

1. Load
2. Add to library
3. reset multi
4. close browse window, (for samples missing dialog.)
There are other important buttons in the window, but these are the 4 
most important.



There are some variables that would prevent proper coordinate clicking 
for the above mentioned buttons.
This would include window size and position, the presence of floating 
windows, screen resolution, and other things that I haven't yet 
considered.
Also, it would be interesting to see if there are challenges which are 
program dependent between logic and Pro Tools.


I just downloaded a keyboard maestro demo, and need to figure out how 
to bind a key command to a coordinate click.

Once I do that, I will get someone to assist me in starting this process.

If anyone has any other insights into this, I'm all ears. I'd love to 
get Kontakt working on the mac platform for us.

Re: Making Kontakt somewhat usable in Pro Tools.

2016-01-17 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

dear Kevin,
just for curiosity sake, if someone clicks on the load button for you, 
do you find yourself in the finder ? This is what happens on a PC with 
hotspot clicker.

The delete instrument function would be very important as well. Each
time you load a new instrument, it will load in a subsequent channel,
and not araise the current channel. So if you want to try different
sounds on Channel one, you need to delete what ever is loaded in there
first.
Hope keyboard Maestro will work, I'm concerned as well smile.

Re: Melodyne

2015-06-16 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

Hi all.
It's in situations like these that I wish there was an equivalent of 
hotspot clicker for VoiceOver.
Melodyne Assistant is accessible with JAWS, with a very reasonably 
priced hotset developed by a hotspot clicker maestro, here if you're 
interested.

http://vipaudioaccess.com/category/melodyne-assistant-hsc/
I know it won't help anyMac user, but it means that accessibility on the 
Mac side still has to improve quite a bit.

Hi all.
excuse me for posting to both lists, It is something I never do, but 
you will obviously understand why.
I wonder, For users who have a hard time choosing between ProTools 
and logic, if It would be possible to set up an accessibility 
comparison chart between both Daws, including categories like MIDI, 
editing, effects, synths and so on.
Of course, the hard part is that it would have to be updated as 
Applications evolve.
Of course 2, everyone knows that they are not real competitors as 
ProTools became a Must have for compatibility with pro studios, and 
Logic didn't, but this might not be a choice criteria for all, and so 
I think this comparison remains valuable.
It is something I would have gladly done, but I'm using neither of 
them for the moment, happy with sonar, but knowing I will have to 
change some day.

What do you say?

Re: Stereo Wideners

2015-04-12 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

Dear Slau.
there are all like this, because most of the parameters concern Melda's 
very versatile modulation matrix. They  have all kinds of internalLFOs, 
envelope followers, step sequencers and so on. Of course, you don't have 
to use these. But the problem is these parameters layout. The developer 
explained me that he could not change it  anymore for backward 
compatibility reasons,so the parameters come in an order I can only 
describe as a good idea at a time.

Nevertheless, they are  great and cheap.

Melda is certainly one of the most prolific plug-in developers but, I have to

I think their basic flanger has something like 90 parameters and one of their 
synths has something like 400 parameters. I'm sure it's great stuff but it's 
really quite cluttered. That said, I've only taken a look at about 3 of their

A few years ago, I heard of a plug-in that was said to be great for 
automatically phase aligning two sources. I forgot the name of the company but 
I wasn't using the latest version of Pro Tools full time at the studio so I 
forgot about it. A year later, Frank Filipetti told me about a plug-in he 
couldn't live without called Surfer EQ. I looked into it and it was made by the 
same company, Sound Radix. When I finally heard about yet another plug-in from 
sound Radix that everybody was raving about (called Drum Leveler), I decided to 
try Drum Leveler. This was last year. and I was finally using Pro Tools 11 on a 
regular basis. I was particularly interested in Drum Leveler because, like 
Sound Radix's other plug-ins, it was revolutionary in its design and 
functionality.

I downloaded the demo and found that, while I could choose presets from the Pro 
Tools preset pop-up menu, I couldn't change any parameters. I contacted the 
developer and explained the situation and asked if they could look into it. 
well, the folks at Sound Radix couldn't have been nicer and were very 
interested in solving the issue. They asked me to make screen-capture QuickTime 
movie of how I interacted with the plug-in and how I worked with VoiceOver in 
general. They told me they thought they knew what the problem might be and that 
they'd work on it at some point. Again, this was late last year.

Two days ago I received a link to a beta of the next Drum Leveler with some new 
features and the problem was solved and I could control all parameters with 
VoiceOver. Further, and more importantly, Sound radix had added some 
functionality and support for VoiceOver directly into the JUCE platform for 
software development. JUCE is a platform that is used by many audio plug-in 
developers who create cross-platform plug-ins. Once officially incorporated 
into JUCE (which will happen any day), any developer compiling plug-ins of any 
format for any DAW will automatically accommodate VoiceOver for interacting 
with the AAX version of the plug-in. I have no idea if this affects other DAWs 
and platforms but I would imagine, since it is cross-platform, that it would. 
At any rate, this was an unexpected fringe benefit of the developers at Sound 
Radix to contribute to the JUCE project.

Further, Sound Radix will be updating the rest of their plug-ins which will fix 
VoiceOver control within those plug-ins. Currently, they have four plug-ins:
Auto Align, which aligns phase relationships between two sources, π, which auto 
aligns multiple sources, Surfer eQ, which is too crazy to try to explain and 
Drum Leveler, which is a transient designer capable of independently 
controlling separate transients.

There is a bundle of all four plug-ins for $599. Each plug-in is also sold 
separately. For anybody who owns individual plug-ins, they do have periodic 
sales and introductory offers from time to time. For example,  when Drum 
Leveler came out, it was 99 dollars and now it's 149 dollars and, in honor of π 
day (3 14 15), their π plug-in, normally 249 dollars, is only 99 dollars. 
Again, mind you, the current downloadable versions of the software don't work 
well with VoiceOver but do work with control surfaces. As soon as I hear about 
the updates, I'll let the list know. The point is that this developer has 
really been very supportive and has potentially helped a number of other 
plug-in developers by contributing modules to the JUCE project for software 
development.

SoundRadix.com
Keep them on your radar.

Gobbler

Gobbler 2.0 Beta is Here!
(Spoiler alert: It's FREE)

Dear beloved Gobbler users,


Four years ago, I started Gobbler with the mission of simplifying the 
creative process.




I know that being creative requires an enormous amount of focus and 
attention, and frankly, searching for files, losing work, waiting for 
transfers and backups, and other similar minutia, robs you of your 
creative potential.



That's why over the past few months, I've quietly been working to 
create an amazing new product, based on everything I've learned from 
the first version of Gobbler.



Today, the team and I are excited to announce that our brand-new 
product, Gobbler 2.0, is ready for Open Beta!



So what does it do? How is it different? Here are a few of the 
highlights:


   * With Gobbler 2.0, we created a new paradigm called workspaces 
with all the storage you need to house projects and all the goodness 
to make collaboration magical.

   *
   * Each workspace allows you to communicate with any number of 
collaborators in real-time, just like you're working together in the 
same studio.

   *
   * As always, Gobbler also allows you to work off any number of 
external or internal drives. You don't have to move your data to a 
central folder on your desktop to use Gobbler (one of our investors 
is a hard drive company... of course we'll make externals work!).  Oh 
and you'll like this, you can now work with absolutely any file type, 
audio or otherwise.


   * Hate managing data? Ya it sucks! We'll take care that for you. 
Now you can open projects with a single click in a central 
interface... all at lightning-fast speeds. You won't have time to 
even blink. And, of course, everything you do is fully secured using 
military-grade encryption.

   *
   * Though we now support all file types, we've stayed true to our 
audio industry roots by building even deeper compatibility with 
leading audio software providers. We call this Gobbler Collect... So  
when you upload an Ableton, Logic, GarageBand or Pro Tools file, 
Gobbler will automatically find, reference, and upload all associated 
assets and files for that project, even if they're located across 
different folders and drives.



Excited? We are too! To get access to the new Gobbler, just go to 
http://gobbler.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8d39153ede7f55eb8296dc3ceid=4b59f625cae=37c4896932www.gobbler.com 
and follow the signs!



You can log-in with your existing credentials to use the new 2.0 site 
(don't worry, you can switch back to the old 1.0 site too!).  New 2.0 
accounts will start fresh, and during the beta period will be 
completely free and you'll have all the space that you need.



We've put together a couple of blog posts to help you navigate all 
the changes and to understand how they affect your existing 1.0 account:


   * Free users, 
http://gobbler.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8d39153ede7f55eb8296dc3ceid=360193b481e=37c4896932click 
here to learn more about the 1.0 to 2.0 migration plan
   * Paid users,

learn more about the 1.0 to 2.0 migration plan



If you have any questions about the new product, our Knowledge Base 
should be able to answer most of them:

If you still have questions, we are kicking it online in live chat 
rooms. Just log into your 2.0 account.



Once you've had a chance to use 2.0, we'd love your feedback our 
product will get waay better with your input. Log in to the 2.0 
site and click the Feedback button.



We really appreciate you and your mind.


Oh, and one more thingwhile we're in our open beta, Gobbler is 
100% FREE.

Re: A question about Midi merging.

2014-09-11 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

Dear Krister,
if your cymbal track is already recorded, and you want to record the 
rest, I would advise you to do it on a different track assigned to the 
same MIDI port and channel. It would make no difference except that you 
would be able to manage both tracks separately.
If you have already recorded the whole thing and you want to delete 
something, cymbals for example, the best thing to do is edit out the 
notes you want to get rid of. I don't know if ProTools has a way to 
delete a given note throughout a song.

Hope this helps,
the best,

I’m right now trying to make a drum track and i’ve decided to make it in 2 
parts, I’ve done the symbals part and now i want to midi merge the drums part. 
Now i wonder one thing, can i undo/delete a part of a track that is midi merged 
or do i have to close the session and start from scratch? I’ve tried to read up 
on it in the reference manual but as good as it is, i can’t find a streight 
answer to this, maybe it’s because there are none i don’t know. Any answers are 
greatly appreciated.

For a non-English user

2014-08-14 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel
Hi there.
I asked these questions 2 years ago but it may have changed with PT11 and 
Mavericks.
1, Is it mandatory to run the English version of PT on a non-English system, if 
you want to benefit from its accessibility features.
2, Do you need a QWERTY keyboard, I mean a physical one, I know that keyboards, 
ether laptop or external, are configurable, but I heard that QWERTY external 
keyboards had hardware differences as well.
Thanks for your help,
Cheers,
JP

Sure, but Protools itself is localized in several languages. My question was 
more about if you needed to use American English Protools, even under a non- 
English system.
Thanks for you help.

 2. The best results, I think, can be achieved with an Apple keyboard. For Pro 
 Tools, it is recommended to configure the keyboard layout to english, because 
 you then can have access to all keyboard shortcuts without any complicated 
 and sticky keyboard commands.
 
 Hope, this helps.

ProTools and the notion of time

2014-06-19 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

Hi all,
A friend told me that ProTools had a very interesting way of dealing 
with time. Let's say for example that you want to restructure a song.
You want to get rid of a verse that's 16 bars long, but the singer 
starts singing 1 8th note before the beginning of the first bar of each 
verse.
So, if you deleted the whole verse, you would also delete the first word 
or syllable of the next one.
Well, my friend told me that you can actually delete a hole verse, but 
then retrieve the missing Part of the voice track. same thing applies to 
a track where you punched a little too early.
It sounds like magic to me, and if you understood my strange 
explanation, could you tell me how that is called in ProTools language 
and if This function is accessible?

Best regards,
JPR

Re: my post on the Avid blog

2014-05-13 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel

Dear Slau,
Like everyone else here, I would like to congratulate you for this 
concise and detailed summary.
For the moment, I have sold my ProTools license, I realised I was 
feeling comfortable with sonar and also that, being an intensive midi 
user, I needed a Daw that gave me full access to midi editing. I'm sorry 
if I ask questions that have been asked over and over on this list, but 
how did Midi editing's accessibility evolve with pro tools 11?
I know that ProTools VS sonar is one of the recurring subjects on this 
list, and I was wondering if one could compile and post a little summary 
of what has been said about this so far .

Thanks for Your continuing efforts, and not giving up.

Hey Slau:
that's a great summary of how things have evolved with PT.  Frankly, 
the only reason I need to stick with Sonar and windows is that I have 
such a huge library of sampled instruments that I have done that use 
the SFZ format.   At present, there is no aax SFZ player available for 
the Mac.  When we wer using RTAS the garritan engine which does 
support SFZ worked with Pro Tools, but nobody could tell me how to 
refer to the Mac folder structure in an SFZ definition file.  I tried 
putting the definitions and their associated .wav files in all kinds 
of folders but never got them to work, and now Garritan has pretty 
emphatically stated on their site that they have no plans to convert 
to the AAX format, which is rediculous since so many others have.  If 
we could get access to structure, the SFZ files could be converted to 
sound fonts and loaded into structure.  At this point, as far as 
instruments that are bundled with Pro tools are concerned, Structure 
is the real drawback for us.  A good usable sampler is a very 
important part of the production environment, especially for those of 
us who want to mix and match drum kits, custom sample instruments to 
our taste, and process vocals through synth modulators  etc.  I hope 
they haven't forgotten about this, as I said, it's really one  of the 
only reasons I haven't totally switched over to Pro Tools for the kind 
of stuff I do.  But know that I sincerely apreciate what you've done, 
I've gone through the same thing with my many years of association 
with cakewalk, which has put a lot of blind folks to independent work.

As some of you may already know, I was asked to write something for 
the Avid blog regarding Pro Tools accessibility. The article was 
published this afternoon at:

http://www.avidblogs.com/music-daw-software-for-blind-and-visually-impaired-audio-professionals/
Because of the way the story is laid out, it appears not to read 
entirely chronologically. So, I've pasted the contents of that post 
below. There were several photos in the post which are not included 
below.



I was introduced to Pro Tools while enrolled in the audio program at 
Five Towns College in Dix Hills, New York, during the mid '90s. Most 
of my early training in college was on large format consoles and 
multitrack tape machines, which were de rigueur in the studios of the 
day. Computers had certainly found their way into the recording 
environment nearly a decade earlier, but more so in the role of MIDI 
sequencers.
During the years I was in school, however, the digital audio 
workstation (DAW) had gotten its foot in the door of the control room 
and the DAW that led the way was Pro Tools, which I began to work 
with in my senior year. I sat there in front of the monitor, staring 
at a graphic representation of a waveform, wondering whether the 
hours I spent learning how to splice quarter-inch tape with razors 
had been wasted...
I had the advantage of taking a one-on-one advanced digital audio 
class with my professor as a result of my need to use adaptive 
software known as inLARGE, a screen magnifying program for the 
Macintosh. Several years earlier, I had been diagnosed with a retinal 
condition that impaired my vision. When I entered  college, most of 
the gear I used was highly tactile: mixing consoles, outboard 
processors, tape machine remotes, etc. By the time I was preparing 
for graduation, things had already begun to change. Evidence of this 
glowed from a VGA before me---everything, all under one roof, one 
box. Little did I know that this was the paradigm of the future, and 
little did I know that 20 years later, I'd be so closely involved 
with Pro Tools and its accessibility for blind audio engineers and 
musicians.
After graduation I started a recording studio of my own, BeSharp, in 
New York City and for a number of years I kept one foot firmly 
planted in the analog multitrack world while occasionally using a 
computer for virtual tracks slaved to tape.

  Hi Kevin, don't get your hopes up just yet. smile 
  At this point, I am able to change patches and sets of sounds using keyboard 
shortcuts, I can access various menus and dialog boxes, but I am using sighted 
assistance in studio to actualy get things as I want them to be when I go live 
with it. 
  That doesn't necessarily mean that is totally inaccessible, it is just that I 
don't have time right now to do all those things by myself. 
  The main reason that I persist trying to use it, is that it has great, and I 
mean, great sounds that you can use live and with extremely low latency. 
  Oh the other thing is, I can map various actions to my midi controler and 
although voice over doesn't say much, I can move things arround as I am 
playing. 
  I also use it in combination with GarageBand, to record and loop things in 
real time and then play on top. 
  I wish it were less complicated than that and voice over would identify more 
things on the screen but that's what it is right now.

  In place of laptop  if you are planing venues where you will always have a 
power source, a mac mini may be a better option. Also Don't forget garage band 
is quite  usable and there is the add on of the main stage instrument pack.  A 
Mac Mini with GB would be a great start for playing synth live as you can save 
different template tracks and load them  quickly.  Samples i am not sure about 
though as i haven't done a lot in that area yet.

  I think you just need to figure exactly what sounds you want and figure 
how realistic that is to achieve with the gear you have by experimenting and 
testing. More and more I find dedicated hardware more reliable and more 
inspiring despite all the amazing stuff I have on my computer. I would think 
that protools and sonar should perform equally well ijln terms of playing and 
manipulating soft synths from a controler on stage but there will be 
differences in workflow changing patches tracks etc.  looping is another matter 
entirely then, layering sounds on the fly for performance is not a strong point 
of either pt or sonar. 


  Our options are limited as always but even for sighted musicians live 
audio looping is often let to dedicated hardware even today.

 Hi J P,
  
 What, exactly, is the issue? Is it the ability to access the computer with 
 extraneous noise on stage? Well, the best solution is to use a braille 
 display. Otherwise, in-ear monitoring with a feed from the screen reader will 
 also work. Further, I keep the laptop in a safe place and use an external USB 
 keyboard.

  I've used virtual instruments live with sonar but daws are not suited to live 
looping based performance in my opinion. Dedicated hardware like guitar pedals 
or korgs kaoss pad are the best option for that. 


  Just last year I did a series of live electronic performances improvising 
with a kaoss pad with sends in and out of sonar. This stuff requires stable low 
latency gear and lots of rehearsing with solid back up planning. Not for the 
faint of heart but it is very fun and interesting. 


  I don't know off hand of a plug that handles live looping reliably the way 
the relatively cheap hardware does but something like izotope stutter edit 
could be good to bass a performance style around. I don't know about voice over 
but there are jaws scripts on the way for stutter edit, either way it is midi 
controlable so with help you could set up templates even if voice over doesn't 
play nice!


  As always with electronic music it depends on the style you choose and how 
you want to communicate the skill in the performance to an audince.

Re: Ivory

2012-08-15 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel
hi Eric,
I suggest you try Pianoteq4. 
It's really amazing. It uses no samples at all, therefore takes a very small 
disk space, and there's a demo version available here
http://www.pianoteq.com/
I'm using it on a PC, so I cannot tell you about its accessibility on Mac. But 
in its standalone version, it has keyboard shortcuts for changing banks and 
presets.
Editing parameters is another story and I'm afraid you will need help for that, 
but I find the presets very usable.

hooking my soundcard to ProTools

2012-03-30 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel
Hi all,
I feel terribly stupid as this question has never been asked on this list, but 
how do I select my inputs and outputs in ProTools?
Is my hardware audio device recognised automatically?
I can't see anything about this on the manual except that it says that I should 
look in my audio devices manual.
It's an RME, asio compatible, its driver is installed, and  it is already 
recognised by my Mac, but I have several inputs and outputs to choose from, 
plus I thought maybe I could use my Mac's internal soundcard for audio feedback 
in some situations.
I bought ProTools as a download so I don't have a demo session to start 
fiddling, but what am I missing here?

system With ProTools. My English is good enough to understand the manual, but 
I'm still  worried about differences between system languages or ProTools 
languages that could affect voice-over's behaviour, especially regarding 
hotkeys.
If someone can help, please contact me privately as this could disturb the 
list.

Do you have an idea on how voice-over behaves through systems and 
application languages? In fact, this doesn't concern French users only, but any 
non-English users in general.

 so you are looking for something that allows you to do instant programming

 It must be possible

  9.0.3 does not fix the problems with 10.6.8.  It looks like some people are

be the real trouble spot.  That said I don't recommend moving to 10.6.8 until 
it's all sorted out.  Let's hope Avid certify it soon cause there are some

I'll go turn it off now before it bugs me again.

  Just so that you know, because I was hung up a little on this
  myselfthe window that first comes up when you first open Pro Tools
  that has an Authorize button is not for Pro Tools.  I think Pro
  Tools comes with some extra plug-ins that are temporary teasers that
  they want you to buy and this window refers to those plugins.  On my
  machine, I cancelled out of this and was asked if I wanted to move
  these plugins into the Not Used folder and then taken into Pro
  Tools.  Once I moved those into Not Used I never was again prompted
  to Authorize.  This window was very ambiguous.  Also, I had a problem
  with clicking on the authorize buttonthe regular VOI space does
  not seem to work.  You probably need to route your mouse to the VO
  cursor and then click (this would be CONTROL + OPTION + COMMAND + F5
  to route the mouse to the VO cursor and shift + control + option +
  space to click).  Hope this helps.

Melodyne

2011-06-26 Thread Jean-Philippe Rykiel
Hi all,
I wonder why no one has replied specifically about Melodyne. It would be 
interesting to know if it's accessible because it's really fantastic.
I don't have a ProTools yet so I can't test it but I seem to remember there is 
a demo version available on their website.

More generally speaking, can someone tell me what is the way to approach a 
plug-in developer about accessibility? Is it very hard to do? I know that 
Izotope has made most of their plug-ins accessible, at least on PC with their 
VST version. I don't know what motivated them but they did it.
Could be that someone in the company has a blind friend or family member, I 
don't really know but it doesn't seem such a hard job.

Dear Jake,
I remember someone asking about Melodyne ae awhile ago on this list. Melodyne 
is undoubtably the best tuning device I've ever heard, but I don't know about 
its accessibility. On the other hand, sonar'sV vocal is not bad and almost 
entirely accessible.
Maybe you could have BootCamp on your Mac and use Windows, jaws, and sonar's V 
Vocal if nothing is available on ProTools, but that would require learning how 
to use all this as well. I hope that ProTools experts will come up  with 
another solution.

  Dear JP, I agree with you hole heartedly. Illegal downloading is a large 
problem in the US as well, and has undoubtedly hurt the music industry. This 
does not change the realities of our situation. As I see it speaking in general 
terms. We have 2 choices we can either resign our selves to working with what 
ever comes across our table witch means having to polish terds and find the 
occasional gold nugget, if you will pardon the metaphor. Or we can become so 
good and so well known for our craft and turning out a good product that we can 
demand a higher price and thus gather a more exclusive client list, and only 
work with those who are worth that kind of money and time. I am just starting 
out learning and know I at least in the beginning will not be worth that level 
of exclusivity. So my question is how do we deal with the day to day non-golden 
nuggets and still make them as shiny as possible. The specific question is 
tuning and does the screen reader help with the visual representation or do we 
have to develop a masters ear if not a masters client list.

Dear Jake,
I know exactly what you're saying, but I also think it is one of the 
reasons why the music industry is dying. The pearl necklace you're talking 
about is just plastic now, I'm in France, and we also have a big problem about 
kids downloading music illegally. It's bad, but maybe these kids, down inside, 
feel that what the industry is trying to sell them as music is not worth any 
more.
My musical background goes from Mozart to Thelenious Monk, Miles Davis, the 
Beatles, Frank Zappa, and also African music I'm very fond of, and they want to 
sell me lady gaga?

just hope it doesn't become our bred and butter. I have sat in on 4 or 5

  Subject: a new round of questions


  I just sat in on my first recording session today, it was informative 
and thought provoking. The engineer was using Logic rather then PT but I assume 
the principles are the same. One question I have is regarding tuning. They laid 
down some vocal tracks and were tuning them to harmonize with each other. As I 
understand it they were using a visual representation of the 3 vocal tracks 
(Low and High backing tracks and a lead vocal track.) The pitch of the 3 tracks 
were displayed as a graf or some thing and they were able to clean up the 
sharps and flats and in one case even drop the pitch a few notes

Dear Jake,
I know exactly what you're saying, but I also think it is one of the reasons 
why the music industry is dying. The pearl necklace you're talking about is 
just plastic now, I'm in France, and we also have a big problem about kids 
downloading music illegally. It's bad, but maybe these kids, down inside, feel 
that what the industry is trying to sell them as music is not worth any more.
My musical background goes from Mozart to Thelenious Monk, Miles Davis, the 
Beatles, Frank Zappa, and also African music I'm very fond of, and they want to 
sell me lady gaga?
Okay, I'm getting really off topic now and I hope you'll excuse me for this.
Cheers,
JPR

  I completely agree but it is a fact of life if we want to make a living all 
of our clients are not going to be legend status good or even particularly 
professional, and we are going to have to polish terds from time to time and 
just hope it doesn't become our bred and butter. I have sat in on 4 or 5 
sessions now and it strikes me that a large part of the time in studio working 
on an album is turning a string of terds in to a pearl necklace. So how do we 
as blind engineers compensate for the unprofessional sound of the majority of 
our clients?

  thanks much
  Jake

Dear Jake and all,
it has nothing to do with you and it's probably off topic, but it just 
striked me when I read your message, why a hell don't people learn how to sing? 
Did the Beach boys need that?
Cheers,
JPR

continuity with the other 2 tracks. They could see it as I have said mapped 
out, is VO able to interpret the visual representation or do we just have to 
have an ear for it.

  thanks much
  Jake
