Hi Slau, Just for update, Clip indicators was already set to hold for infinite, and VO still doesn't announces when the meter is clipped. Anything else I should check? Thanks for your help, Chi On 3/22/2015 3:17 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: Hi Chi, Yep, the Click plug-in's parameters don't work

It is marketed as a T-pain auto tune affect and not so much a pitch correction, so I couldn't tell you, I have only used it that way. I also have wave tune, wave light and an older version of Atari's auto tune, but not all of the controls are usable in that version. I just try and whip my

Nope. Hitting something harder basically means sending a louder signal into it. In PT, a little boost of clip gain is usually the best way to do that if it's required. Chris's hotspot tip is golden btw. Need to remember that one myself next time I'm tracking in PT. Hth Scott On 3/26/15,

Talking of tips… I know this isn’t in any way Pro Tools related, but as we’re tipping anyways… I just found out you can hit VO-D to go to the dock, then start typing the name of the application you want to switch too, then hit enter… Much faster than either CMD+Tab, or Jumplists under windows.

When I'm recording myself (not something I'm a fan of), I just play it uber safe with the meters and concentrate on the actual performance. It's too easy to get distracted. I'd say set levels using the chorus and the climax you mentioned, maybe take a slightly longer run at that part to make sure

Hi Chi, I've just verified that in version 11.3 the clip indicator definitely works. I'm not sure what might be causing your problem with the indicator. One thing I would check is that you have the correct radio button checked in the Metering tab of the Preferences window. The way it reads is

I think it's more valuable because it'll allow you to get away from the keyboard, and into a better position to do whatever it is you're gonna be doing once the actual recording starts. Just a bit less switching between frames of mind, if that's not too hippy. Scott On 3/26/15, Chris Norman

You said it: I hear you really want to sing the part of the song where you feel you're going to spike the highest level. Yell right into your mic and see where that peaks. Chances are it will be a few dB above the loudest note in your song. Hopefully you're not eating the mic and backing off
