Hi, Trust me to come up with stupid questions to which there probably are very easy answers, but anyways, what are the differences between grouping and sub mixing? To me it looks just the same with the only difference being that when you submix, you do it to an auxiliary track, as i understand

Hi Brian, I'll have to try to recreate a similar setup. For what it's worth, I've never tried to affect a group via VoiceOver. I've always used a control surface. BTW, even when a group is active, it's possible to individually change the volume by modifying the drag of the fader or, with a

Hi Krister, Both scenarios essentially achieve the same results. By submixing, you're adding an extra track. While that usually isn't necessarily a problem, some people want to simply have as little a track count as possible. One other consequence of submixing to an auxiliary track is that,

Hi and thanks for that answer Slau. You know folks, now i feel i'm *really* starting to get the hang of Pro tools and what it's all about, and as a famous junk food chain so adequately puts it, I'm loving it. /Krister 4 okt 2014 kl. 16:28 skrev Slau Halatyn slauhala...@gmail.com: Hi

Hi folks, I'm really getting the hang of ProTools, thanks to the excellent ProTools with Speech tutorials from Matt and Rob. I'm just wondering how to delete so that there isn't a gap in the audio. Basically, I want to delete and move the audio to the left, rather than there being a big gap

Slau, Thanks for looking into this. My Music Production Lab prof really stresses the importance of groups and would be nice if I could get them working correctly. I'm thinking by interacting with a fader on a track, it is adjusting it independently. Is there a way to adjust a fader with

Hi David, Shuffle mode is what you want for that. Press f1 for Shuffle mode. You should look at the other three modes and what they do in more detail in the manuals. The two that you will use most often are shuffle and slip which, bTW, is f2. HTH, Slau On Oct 4, 2014, at 12:00 PM, David

Hi Krister, I understand your feelings about the blindness perspective, of course. A little later today I'll take the time to write a full explanation of the editing modes. I've never really done that on the list and, in the interest of not reinventing the wheel, hopefully you and a few others

I sat down and started trying to write a concise explanation of edit modes and then I quickly realized that, if it was going to be explained clearly, the best way to do it would be to demonstrate it. In the PT reference Guide, there are diagrams that illustrate what's happening in each mode

Hi Brian, Indeed, I got the same results as you. It appears that the manner in which VoiceOver is interacting with the fader is more of a parameter change rather than a physical moving of the fader itself. In other words, one can drag a fader with a mouse and this changes the value. What

Hi Slau and all, If you have the option of making a VCA Master this will work. I just tested it in pt 9.3 and marked a hotspot on 2 of the test tracks and when I interacted with the VCA Master fader and moved up or down the tracks in the test group moved also. The rub is you half to have a VCA
