Hey All,
I'm new to the list. ...thought it would be good to introduce myself, as I
already have a kabillion questions for you all.
I'm trying to set up a Podcast. I'm running Pro Tools 8.0.5 with an MBox 2 as
my interface. The basic template I need has a audio and instrument track, the
Hi Abdul,
Welcome to the list. If nobody else tackles your questions, I'll be happy to
get you started. I'm about to start a session and don't yet have the time to
properly reply. I'll have some time in about 4 hours and will post then.
cheers,
Slau

Hey Abdul,
OK, I have some time now to address your questions.
First, let me say that you might only possibly need a trigger for specific
audio clips if you're planning to do it in real time. I would bet that you're
not planning to do the whole of each podcast episode live, without any edits.
Hey Abdul,
OK, one thing I forgot to mention is the issue of input monitoring. Now, I'm
not sure what the case is with LE systems but, with HD systems, one can switch
between monitoring the input or the playback of a given record-enabled track.
Option-k toggles between these two modes. It's
It seems he may haver not armed, or record enabled the mono track he
wants to record on. He only mention pressing the arm button in the
transport cluster, but not the one on the track. You have have to
record enable the track as well so Protools knows which track you want
the recorded audio placed
I don't think so. In step 4 Abdul says he armed the track and then in the
Transport cluster he engaged the record function. I take that as he took the
right steps.
bTW, Abdul, you needn't use the transport window or cluster for engaging the
transport. Command-space bar is the keyboard shortcut
Hi Steve,
I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, but I have done exactly that. No cigars. Any
other suggestions? Push comes to shove, tomorrow I will pay a visit to some
people who might be able to help me. Perhaps there some details I'm
overlooking.
Best,

Slau, thanks, this is really good to know.

Arg, I should have included this in the previous email as I also hate posting a
whole lot of short messages in succession on a list.
Slau, upon installing Pro Tools, I came across a dialog of which I cannot
remember the full detail. The crux of it is that there are certain keyboard

Hey Folks, thanks to Slau, the recording problem is fixed. It appears that
using the key commands work better than trying to directly manipulate controls
in the transport cluster.

Hey Abdul,
Yes, that's one of the things you need to turn off in the spotlight preference
pane. I don't recall what the other one is but, another important one is, make
sure to turn off Spotlight indexing for your external drive to which you are
recording. You are recording to an external
Hey Abdul,
Glad it worked. I'm thinking that you probably armed the Record button in the
transport but never actually engaged the transport by pressing the Play button.
Well, the Command-space bar shortcut will solve that. There's also another
couple of options for engaging the transport. One
Hi all,
I'm deciding to take an iMac to do my work with protools. I'm working with
nature recordings, for this reason the filters that I use are the equalicer,
denossing tools, etc.
Are there usable or accessible in the protools? for example: are accessible
the izotope RX?
Best.
Juan.
Yeah, I think you are right about the play button.
I'm going to bed now, and I will be taking with me the 36 page document on Pro
Tools short cuts.
Oh, and if you happen to remember the other shortcuts that need to be disabled,
please let me know, I have already disabled the one for
Hi Juan,
I haven't used the Isotope products. I would imagine that their parameters are
all automate-able and that, because of this, the plug-in would be largely
accessible. That said, I've never used it myself so I can't say for 100%.

Hi Abdul,
The first thing you'll probably want to read is your Introduction to MBox or
Getting Started with MBox—whatever they call it these days. That'll explain
the exact steps you need to take in terms of setting up your system correctly.
Regarding drives, in short, that's just how it is.
Sorry for my mistake earlier, not sure how i missed that he did
mentione that he armed the track. If i may throw another suggestion
out there, OWC i believe or is it nu tech or some other company, makes
an internal drive caddy for mac books. U can take out your cd rom
drive and slide an a second

Hi Juan,
Yes, absolutely, the DigiRack plug-ins are fully accessible and pretty much any
other EQ you'll find out there will most likely be completely accessible.

I've heard of folks doing that modification and it does sound convenient for

Hey gang
I received a session that has multiple songs and takes as playlists for all of
the tracks. I was told that if I select all of the tracks then go to the first
track in the edit window click the playlist button and then option clicking on
it should change to that playlist across all
From memory, F12 was another one that Avid recommend you disable. It's
originally assigned to bring up Dashboard so I can't say I've missed
it, but I also can't say I use it in PT either. It's an alternative to
using Command+Space to start recording. Likely not a deal breaker,
just adding it to
