Re: system requirements for Pro Tools 12.8.x
hi Slaw and what about mac HighSiera? , should I upgrade? thanks a bunch Roy. -Original Message- From: Slau Halatyn Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 1:05 AM To: PTAccess List Subject: system requirements for Pro Tools 12.8.x I've always been one to try and max out a system whenever buying a new computer. I was just looking at some compatibility info and was surprised to learn that, technically, Pro Tools 12.8.x requires an I7 processor. Now that probably means that it'll surely run on an I5 but Avid clearly specifies the I7 in the system requirements. As I said, that has never been an issue for me personally because I happen to have I& processors in my machines. Just thought I'd point that out for those who might be thinking of a new system. slau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

Re: assigning a plug-in/track parameter to a physical knob/fader
does the Maschine also support speech? best Roy. From: Slau Halatyn Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2017 11:35 PM To: PTAccess List Subject: Re: assigning a plug-in/track parameter to a physical knob/fader Just to be clear, Komplete Kontrol is a plug-in that has a dedicated series of MIDI controller keyboards that interface with the plug-in but the plug-in itself has no libraries. The Komplete Kontrol plug-in can load Native instruments products like Komplete and Komplete Ultimate or individual plug-ins like Kontakt or third party VST plug-ins. The only thing resembling a library that comes with the Komplete Kontrol series controllers is something called "Komplete Select" which is a very simple library consisting largely of Kontakt instruments and some synths. While the KK S series controllers come with this basic library as a download, the more comprehensive Komplete 11 or Komplete 11 Ultimate is a much more diverse and comprehensive package of, not only instruments but also some processing and effects plug-ins.

Plan to use a surface controller for track control EQ etc. An article read weeks ago referred to the NI Komplete Kontrol as a midi controller but said nothing about mixing tracks. I think it’s a very good keyboard with a high quality library. I’m thinking other midi instruments can also use the NIKK library as well. Not fully sure on that though. Thanks for the article. Andre.

While it does have encoder knobs, it's not the type of controller that controls track volume, mute, pan, etc. Here's an article that lists compatible devices: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/compatibility/Pro-Tools-12-Approved-Audio-Interfaces-and-Peripherals and it should be noted that a control surface like the Mackie Universal, Presonus FaderPort 8 and some other third party manufacturers make surfaces that have HUI implementation which Pro Tools supports. Not all HUI emulations are alike, however, so it's good to do your research before taking a plunge. slau On Dec 10, 2017, at 1:28 PM, Andre Jarreau <andre.jarr...@earthlink.net> wrote: I’m considering the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol keyboard.

However, if you're trying to use a generic MIDI controller, it's best to read the control surfaces guide pdf and follow instructions there. It'll definitely take some sighted assistance. Again, a supported surface is a far better way to go if at all possible and I realize that sometimes it's just not feasible.

Re: important message regarding future Pro Tools features and VoiceOver keys
made the switch here as well; indeed much more comfortable. thanks a bunch Roy. -Original Message- From: Slau Halatyn Sent: Monday, December 11, 2017 1:04 AM To: PTAccess List Subject: important message regarding future Pro Tools features and VoiceOver keys Consider this a bit of a public service announcement for VoiceOver users who use Pro Tools. There have always been several keyboard shortcuts in Pro Tools that have conflicted with VoiceOver. They haven't been problems, per se, as there were only a couple. Without getting into details, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts coming up in future versions of Pro Tools that will add to the conflicts. Yes, it's possible to pass through the key commands but the nature of the upcoming shortcuts is such that one might want to repeatedly use these shortcuts and passing through would be an exercise in inefficiency. It is for this reason especially that I'd highly recommend switching the VoiceOver keys from Control+Option to CapsLock if you haven't already done so. I know that quite a number of users have their settings set to use both and some have made the full transition. I made it a point this year to make the jump and I'm glad I did. I made the initial transition before knowing that the upcoming Pro Tools shortcuts would conflict so I'm happy to have made the change early on. I'd encourage users to get used to the alternative because you'll be glad you made the switch when the time comes. There is the one aspect of the modifier only being on the left side of the qwerty keyboard that makes left side combinations somewhat trickier at first but you really do get used to it quickly. When I switched over, the first day was difficult and the second day was much easier. Within 3 days it became easy and, at this point, I'd never go back. I know a bunch of you have already done this so I'm just giving a heads up to those who haven't yet made the adjustment. Getting used to it now, before the new shortcuts are implemented, will make it easier later on. slau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.

hi Slaw thanks a lot for the tutorial; that’s really easy. on a different subject: suppose I copy a single drum/percussion shot from an audio clip , thus want to paste it in various places thruout the track; is it possible to simply press play , and tap Command+v to paste it on the fly? tried it once , but it didn’t work. any input highly appreciated.
