Hi Toby: A great afternoon to you. You don't have to pay that much at all. I don't know where you got that info. If you're a student, you'll only need to pay $100 for yearly subscription and some change for the full purchase. Don't walk away now. Call Sweetwaters Sounds to see what your options

Hi There everyone, Thanks so much for all the comments, suggestions and advice. You are all right that Pro Tools full version is best and that PT First is too much of a stripped down version to work with VoiceOver. It's a real shame as I don't need the music side of Pro Tools and unlikely that

Avid's basic system requirements are 16GB of Ram, but if I'm being totally honest, I'm running 19.5 on a 2015 MBP Retina with 8GB. No problems, but you'll be limited in how many plugins you can run at once, and you may be forced to commit your tracks or freeze them, but it can be done if you

Hi, Here are some basic things about the Pro Tools user interface: There are two main windows: the Edit window and the Mix window. The titles of these windows speak for themselves. If you want to edit with the keyboard you must first make sure that the following options are checked (Options

Given that PT First is a free product, it makes sense that they don't offer support. Also, I guess PT First doesn't have a similar setup for documentation which also makes sense, given that it's stripped down. Here's an article from Avid that talks about Mojave optimization:

Hi Slau Many thanks for your emails. I have tried to find the PDF documentation regarding set up instructions for optimising Pro Tools for use with VoiceOver and this may be a Pro Tools First thing but on my Mac within Documents/Pro Tools First there does not seem to be a Documentation

I just reviewed Dammie's message and his comment about VO up/down arrows was regarding navigation of the Tracks List with VoiceOver and that is correct. However, I was referring to moving the insertion cursor up and down through visible tracks without having to go to the track list. In some

Hi Toby, To clarify something that Dammie mentioned, using the down and up arrows during playback select a range in the timeline but do not select any audio unless there's an insertion cursor in the track. Also, a selection will only be made if the insertion is not following playback. There

HI Tobey: My pleasure man! I found myself in your position around this time last year. And that I'm able to put a promo together for the first time in ProTools is a milestone for me. I didn't find most videos useful too. And even when I asked people in the group how to mix in ProTools, they

Hi Toby, First of all read the manual & as many youtubes on Avid's Pro tools as you can, you'll be surprised how much you can get from the YouTube's. Second of all Flo tools is not needed at all. It just adds another layer of keyboard commands which are not listed in the Avid Pro tools manual
