Re: Two questions, automation with non-touch sensitive faders and the MBox control panel

2013-02-19 Thread Kevin Reeves
There's a difference between touch sensitive and non touch sensitive motorized faders. Touch sensitive faders will disengage the motor the moment you touch it, allowing you to rewrite automation. Faders without touch sensitivity will not disengage the motor, thus you're fighting with it as

A couple corrections / clarifications: 1. The 4 buttons above each of the faders from bottom to top are: Mute, Solo, Select, and Record Enable/Disable. 2. in order to put ProjectMix in to Pro Tools mode, you need to hold down Aux 1, not Aux 3. That's probably why you can't get the

Hi, Now since i'm about to begin the jorney of mastering or at least trying to get the hang of Pro tools, i wonder about drum tracks. I'm used to old drum machines like the Yamaha RX15 or the Roland TR-707 or the likes thereof, but since such drum machines aren't around and maybe not even works

Hi, I just wonder how you do when you work with PT? I understand that you somehow have to hear the feedback from the computer in terms of what VO tells you about important things, however, if you put it through in my case the M-Audio project mix, it'll be part of the recordings i do, so what

Hi Krister, Use your bootup drive as you normally would. Use an external drive for the Pro Tools session. In other words, when you create the session, create it on the external drive and all the files will be recorded to that drive. Slau On Feb 19, 2013, at 10:20 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote:

Even if you choose ProjectMix as your sound output in System Preferences, Voiceover's audio will continue to be routed through the Mac's speakers. At least that's how it works on the iMac, while running Lion or Mountain Lion. On Tuesday, February 19, 2013 10:31:07 AM UTC-5, Krister Ekstrom

When you say that voice over will show up, if you can hear it durring a recording that doesn't mean that it is being recorded to a track in pro tools, that wouldn't happen unless you spacifficly somehow had voice over routed to an input source in pro tools. If it is a bother, just turn your

There are drums that come with pro tools, if you have a midi device such as a key board or drum machine to control the sounds in the pro tools instrument banks you will be good to go. In my case I use an oxygen USB keyboard plugged into the mac, when I want to use it, I open a session, use

Juan, The first thing about a 5.1 mix that is most challenging is the monitoring setup. Providing you have 5 full-range speaker enclosures of the same type along with a suitable sub-woofer and they are all positioned and calibrated, the next step is to create an I/O setup that supports
