Re: Pro tools anxiety
I have absolutely no idea mate, I've never read it! :-) Probably why I never know anything! :-) I make things work for me, and only go to the manual if a function directly impacts me. I have never found a manual that QRead couldn't parse for me though, it's a great little program! Sorry I can't be of more help, Take care, Chris Norman.

Re: Pro tools anxiety
Hi Chris. The first question about the Project mix may be of interest to the list so i write it here. Is the manual for the Project mix any good to us blind folks? By this i mean that in some manuals you have only pictures instead of button descriptions which end up with sentences running along the lines of: "press to go to this or that mode, then press to record". You can sometimes get around this by scanning the manual but sometimes you can't, so that's why i ask. /Krister 23 feb 2013 kl. 14:26 skrev Chris : > Hi, > I am personally using a project mix, and I can certainly understand your > frustrations.

I would get Kevin to tutor or train me if it were me or find some other blind person to do it Ricky Prevatte LMBT 1154 http://www.rickyprevattemassage.com On Feb 23, 2013, at 7:58 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Hi good people. > As i struggle with getting my new pro tools setup under way, i'm getting more > and more anxious that i won't make it in the end.

Re: Pro tools anxiety
Hi, I am personally using a project mix, and I can certainly understand your frustrations. My best advice is to just keep at it, and read every message that comes across this list, even if you aren't interested in the subject matter. Above all, even when you get more used to pro tools, always read the newbie question threads, as there are a lot of fantastic folks on this list, who collectively I am sure, know all there is to know about pro tools. The question about specialist tracks is not a pro tools specific question as such, but I believe it has been covered on this list before all the same. Read through the list archives, and see if you can't find something in there that you find useful. Listen to Kevin's awesome podcast on an introduction to pro tools, as this was my bread and butter when I first started. As I am using the project mix, I would be glad to help you with it off list, via Skype if you want, on the understanding that you don't ring me every time you run into a problem. I'm not saying that because I don't want to help, but because I understand how tempting that can be, and also because it is the mistakes that you make, which do the teaching. Anyways, if you are interested in how to use the project mix, either via email or Skype, please email me off list to arrange a time. We can run some kind of conference call, or mass email, if there is anyone else who wants to listen in. hTH, Sent from my iPad On 23 Feb 2013, at 12:58, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Hi good people. > As i struggle with getting my new pro tools setup under way, i'm getting more > and more anxious that i won't make it in the end.

Pro tools anxiety
Hi good people. As i struggle with getting my new pro tools setup under way, i'm getting more and more anxious that i won't make it in the end. Call me a whiner, you're probably right, but it seems the more i hear about, and acquaint my self with PT, the less i feel i know. This is good, after all you need to learn but i feel i dare not ask all the newbie questions here that i want to ask. Questions like "Umm what are buses" and "Ahem why do you need a special track for effects and what is the difference between the different types of tracks in PT" and so on. My question in the end has to be is there a "total idiots guide to Pro tools" type easy to read tutorial somewhere, better still is there such a tutorial for blind people? I just got my M-Audio Project mix set up and installed, does anyone have a layout description for it? I've heard that blind folks are using the Projectmix so it must be doable only there are quite a few buttons and i don't know what they do in Pro tools mode. Thanks so much. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
