You can download any older Apple operating systems from the Internet.  Done 
that here.

Hi Nils, I first checked with apple to see if the now older operating system 
was available, but I found it not to be unless I take my system in to the 
store.  This is information that I found out.  But my question is whether 
anyone just happens to know whether this new operating system truly supports 
pro tools and other applications? I just heard that there's something new but I 
think that it is nativeaccess but i'm not sure What do you think?  Thank you 
for any information that you might have concerning my questions.

RE: Accessibility with Pro Tools

2020-08-21 Thread Phil Muir

One final thought on this.  Not necessarily a deal breaker but if you are 
planning to work with sighted individuals or you want to demo Reaper then keep 
in mind that although you can access it, what you are doing has absolutely 
nothing to do with what is displayed visually on screen.  This means that 
sighted people can’t actually see how you are working in Reaper.

Could you advise on best place to start learning  ProTools/Flo Tools and let me

possible to do all editing/scrubbing/automation mixing and tweaking of 
paramaters for plugins etc.

shift+mix buttons at the same time nothing happens. these are the current
problems that I'm experiencing but I've also read in ni support that other
people have had the same problems. I've even tried to turn off the ks88
and turn it back on again but still nothing. I even tried to arm a track
in pro tools but nothing. I'm not sure what the problem is but I didn't
find any solution that I thaught could solve at least one of the problems.
May be someone may be able to do a remote session just to see what i'm
talking about. P.S. I also would like to ask if I should try to use the
ks88 on a windows system just to see what happens? I'm not sure if it
would fix the not being recognized by my mac mini but I just thaught I
would ask. Thank you for any information that you might have that could
solve both of these problems.

Re: Anybody using the Valhalla vintage reverb plug-in in ProTools?

well that's good to know that it's working on other DAW software on the Mac
side. Not good that is not working in Pro tools although you would have
thought that should be easier to narrow down from a development point of
view because that's just broken in one particular plug-in format.

Not dissagreeing with you on this. Was just attempting to explain the

Well, the instruments themselves all have their own specific interface but
what I'm talking about is the part of the UI that doesn't change and

I seem to remember that the interface looks the same until you try to load
a Kontakt 6 instrument.

I just imported and activated the Keyboard Maestro macro groups for

Could I use them with the current version of Kontakt:

Same for Control+1.

RE: Electronic EZX library in SD2

Hey Martin.  Shall leave it to Slau to comment on that EZX.  I suppose I 
could potentially map up some .s20 files for that EZX and put them in the 
Superior Drummer Dropbox.  That would allow you to load in different kick, 
snares etc.  SHall have to take a look at that EZX though as I seem to 
remember that there are quite a few options in there.  As for your other

Re: pt sessions saved in different copies of Pro Tools?

2019-02-08 Thread Phil Muir

Hey Slau.  Yes indeed.  However in this particular instance I would imagine 
that the most important aspect of this is actually getting out the data as 
Karen works in radio so it is in fact possible that plug-ins or the lack of 
may not be an issue at all as it's possible that no plug-ins are in the 
sessions at all ;-)



On 8 February 2019 16:47:41 Slau Halatyn  wrote:

Precisely my point, though. Older sessions likely have older plug-ins that 
won't exist in the current user's plug-ins folder. In some cases, they're 
RTAS or TDM. No such plug-ins have been supported since Pro Tools 11. Audio 
and edits will work fine but, depending on the age of the sessions and 
which PT version was used, some things will absolutely not translate fully.

Re: protools 2018-12 and mohave

2018-12-21 Thread Phil Muir

Pro Tools is only accessible for us on the Mac using Mac OS.  It doesn't work 
with VST instruments but instead uses it's own format.  If you want to use VST 
instruments then you will need to either stay in Windows and use Samplitude or 
Reaper or use compatible VST instruments on the Mac using Logic.  There are 
definitely more free VST instruments on the Windows side than there are on the 
Mac.

Took a look at PT in Windows last year.  Not much has changed then although I

Re: State of the Mac

2018-11-13 Thread Phil Muir

With regard to Jaws, that depends really.  Have found some really cheap options 
available  from venders for keeping it up to date with an SMA or upgrade 
option.  Of course there are other DAW options on Windows such as Reaper which 
work with all of the screen reader options and I think further down the line, 
Samplitude will not just be a Jaws solution.  Actually you can already get a 
lot done in Samplitude with NVDA etc but I won't go into that here because it's 
off topic.  Still it would be nice to get Pro Tools accessible on the Windows 
platform but have no idea if PT could be made to work with UI Automation on 
Windows.  Can't ever see that happening.  Would love to be wrong though :-)

Re: State of the Mac

Personally I do wish that PT had the same access on Windows as it does on the 
Mac  for the reasons you have stated below and because I believe in having any 
DAW accessible on all of the platforms where it is used.  Can't ever see that 
happening though as most visually impaired users who use Pro Tools do this on 
the Mac.  Have taken a look at Pro Tools on WIndows and I suspect that to make 
it accessible on the Windows platform would not be a trivial task.  Having said 
that I have been able to achieve some basic things in Pro Tools on Windows.

Hi Steve, I think I might have found a nice multidock for SSDS made by
Blackmagic Design under Thunderbolt 2:

 

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicmultidock

 

>From what I read so far there is really no fan. The main reason against it
would be that maximum speed for one SSD is about 370m/s. but all 4 SSDS are
just separate drives and if it's gonna be to slow I still could make a raid
0 for just two SSDS which could give a bit more than 700m/s.

And it seems to be built well with internal power supply. One could daisy
chain up to 6 multidocks. There are people using it when working with
orchestra libraries. So I guess it could be a good solution.

What do you think?

Raid allows for multiple drives to appear to the computer as one drive with
the sum of its storage.  For example it will allow for two 500GB drives to
appear as a 1TB drive. Tis of course a most basic explanation and there are
options where it can use one drive for the data and the other for backing up
the data so even though there is two 500gb drive in that option it will
appear as just one. I say all that to say if you plan to get a 4 bay drive
bay and want to use each of the 4 separate drives for different things, for
example, 1 drive for samples, one drive for recording to, one drive for
media etc etc, then you wouldn't want to use any of the raid options. OWC
has an excellent reputation but is not the most inexpensive either. Samsung
eve are still the SSD's all others are compared to so it's still a safe bet
to go with those.

Hi all

 

Does anyone of you store your samples on SSDs in a thunderbolt enclosure? Is
a Samsung Evo 850 good enough for this? I imagine this would be the way to
go if I want to have a fast and quiet setup.

I'm looking for a thunderbolt enclosure which can hold 4 SSDs. It should be
very quiet because most of my other things are, best without fan if this is
no problem with SSDs. I have a MacBook Pro 15 from 2015 with thunderbolt 2.

But I think I may get a more powerful mac pro only for music production
after some time which probably would have thunderbolt 3, so this enclosure
should be compatible with both.

My idea would be to use individual SSDs, one for the samples, for the
projects, for temp data ...

I read about enclosures from Akitio or OWC.

Should I even bother with raid 0 for the samples or is this just wasted
effort and money for sample libraries?

I just bought NI complete 11 ultimate and am waiting for the download
instructions. Later I probably will need a serious orchestra library. So
that's why I'm asking if raid 0 is needed or not.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on this and kind regards

Ben

example, 1 drive for samples, one drive for recording to, one drive for
media etc etc, then you wouldn't want to use any of the raid options. OWC
has an excellent reputation but is not the most inexpensive either. Samsung
eve are still the SSD's all others are compared to so it's still a safe bet
to go with those.

Hi all

 

Does anyone of you store your samples on SSDs in a thunderbolt enclosure? Is
a Samsung Evo 850 good enough for this? I imagine this would be the way to
go if I want to have a fast and quiet setup.

I'm looking for a thunderbolt enclosure which can hold 4 SSDs. It should be
very quiet because most of my other things are, best without fan if this is
no problem with SSDs. I have a MacBook Pro 15 from 2015 with thunderbolt 2.

But I think I may get a more powerful mac pro only for music production
after some time which probably would have thunderbolt 3, so this enclosure
should be compatible with both.

My idea would be to use individual SSDs, one for the samples, for the
projects, for temp data ...

I read about enclosures from Akitio or OWC.

Should I even bother with raid 0 for the samples or is this just wasted
effort and money for sample libraries?

I just bought NI complete 11 ultimate and am waiting for the download
instructions. Later I probably will need a serious orchestra library. So
that's why I'm asking if raid 0 is needed or not.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on this and kind regards

Ben

RE: Hello and first question accessible audio interfaces

2018-06-27 Thread Phil Muir

Hey Ben.  I would hold on to your RME interface for a couple of reasons.  1:
even if you decide not to use Windows for recording there is software that
makes that interface accessible.  They are also working on a Mac version of
that software but it's not quite ready yet.  You can listen to a demo of Can
using the software here:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ao7j620zaz9xe3t/OSC_Demo.m4a?dl=1

 

You could always put Bootcamp on that Mac and purchase a copy of Windows 10
Pro retail then you would have the best of both worlds and importantly you
would be able to configure the RME because the software does not depend on
any scripts to run although if you have a copy of Jaws then it would
certainly work with that.

 

2: as accessible as Logic is on the Mac side I personally think that when it
comes to accessibility in DAW software on the Mac, Pro tools wins hands
down.  You can use Pro Tools without any third party add-ons however if you
use it with Flo Tools then it becomes even more accessible.

 

3: Logic is becoming more usable on the Mac as is Reaper.  Reaper is
relatively cheap to purchase if that is a consideration.

 

4: should you decide that you are more comfortable in Windows then there are
great options such as Samplitude and the free Jaws scripts available on the
Samplitude Access website:

 

http://www.samplitudeaccess.org.uk/

 

BTW, using Samplitude with Jaws is absolutely nothing like using Cake
Talking as it just works.  The scripts only provide more feedback in the
software.

 

Or Reaper and its resources:

 

https://reaperaccessibility.com/index.php/Main_Page

 

As for Komplete Kontrol that wowrks on Mac and Windows and the accessibility
is the exact same on either platform.  Anyway hope I haven't given you too
much information.  It's fantastic to have so many DAW choices on either
platform and you will be sorted no matter which way you decide to go.

Subject: Hello and first question accessible audio interfaces

 

Hello all

 

I'm a musician, composer and teacher. I got myself a mac a few months ago. I
bought Caketalk from Dancing dots a few years ago, only to find out that it
didn't quiete work on my computer. Now I'd like to give music production on
the mac a try.

So, my first question here is about getting a fully accessible audio
interface. What are you using ? I'd like to have a really professional
device, 8 to 16 channels with digital capabilities. And the interface should
be really accessible, including software mixer. For the last couple years I
have an RME Fireface UC. I rely on premade presets from a sighted person.
For my mac audio interface I'd like to have something I can manage myself,
if this is possible at all. I don't mind buying extra hardware like a midi
controller for this to happen.

And I actually have a secondth question : I just did a little experimenting
with Logic Pro so far. And I was able to record a small test track with the
integrated instruments this program offers in about 30 minutes of first use.
This was pretty amazing. But aside that I'm totally new and aks myself
wheter I should start using logic pro or pro tools for my work. I got here
because someone on the Dancing Dots list suggested me posting my audio
interface question on this list.

Which DAW is more accessible  out of the box ? Because I never had really
good experience with jaws scripts using sonar I'm hoping that both programs
could be used without any scripts which just work in a certain system
configuration and so on.

I hope I don't sound too pesimistic and frustrated, alltough I admit that I
was just that when I found out my purchase of Caketalking was for nothing
after much fiddling arround at the end. But I'm willing to start anew on the
mac. I like this OS so far very much.

I've got a Macbook Pro 2015. And if things are working out fine and I need
more power in order to do my things I'm considering to buy a mac pro, if
there will be a new one eventually that is ...

 

So, thanks for your help and kind regards

Ben

Interesting.  Broadcast  wav has always worked for me.  Set your from and 
through in Sonar then select all of the tracks you wish to export then choose 
broadcast wav in.   the export audio dialog and uncheck all options such as 
affects on tracks, automation on all buses tracks etc and softsynth's and audio 
tracks etc and you should be good to go.

No afraid not.  You will have to load up Sonar on a Windows machine to get this

RE: A way to open Sonar Sessions on Mac or covert to Protools sessions?

2018-04-27 Thread Phil Muir

As Slau said, OMF will work.  Have use broadcast wav to get out wav files
from Sonar and simply saved out the MIDI data for a track by exporting it.
Never really bothered much with OMF in Sonar and anyway I think its
implementation of OMF is quite old.

Hi Victor,

 

I believe that the only person truly qualified to give the fullest answer to
this question is Chi Kim. Chi's primary DAW for years has been Logic.
However, Chi has also been a Windows user and is familiar with the offerings
on that side of the fence. More  important, he's quite well versed in Pro
Tools. I'd say he's perhaps equally knowledgeable on both platforms. while I
consider myself an experienced Pro Tools user, I'm really not at all
acquainted with Logic. Despite owning it and poking around in it, I have
virtually no true hands-on experience using it in any meaningful way. That
said, I've observed others and how they get around the interface and I base
my comments on this experience.

 

Recent versions of Pro Tools, especially the latest, are very accessible
right out of the box. The two main windows, the Mix and Edit windows, are
simple and offer channel-strip type groupings of controls aside from the
toolbar in the Edit window, which is just laid out in a horizontal line of
clusters. The Mix and Edit windows share a table of track list and groups
list and the Edit window can also display a clips list. That is essentially
the entirety of the interface with only two levels of "interaction as far as
VoiceOver is concerned. In fact, apart from the insert and sends sub groups
in each channel strip, I can't think of an instance where one has to drill
down more than one level to get to anything in any window in Pro Tools. To
me, it seems like Logic requires more jumping around and drilling of
interactions to accomplish similar tasks.

 

What Flo Tools has done is dramatically increase efficiency by reporting
things like how many tracks are showing, how many are hidden, what's muted
soloed or record-enabled, etc. what the current start, end and length values
are, etc. Largely, the kind of information that Windows users were used to
getting in Sonar, for example. Regarding Flo Tools, this is just barely
scratching the surface of what it can now do for Pro Tools. To me, the
current state of access in Pro Tools along with Flo Tools,  is unparalleled.
Of course, we all know that other DAWs are quite useable and Logic offers a
decent degree of access. However, it's not yet at the level of Pro Tools
with Flo Tools. Ah, one more qualification: in my opinion, the greatest
access to Pro Tools, even with Flo Tools, is gained by the use of a control
surface. This is not to say that one cannot access everything without a
surface but the degree to which and speed with which one can access things
is simply hands down faster with a surface and I would venture to say that's
true for a blind user using any workstation out there. So, let's say that
factor is a given but I think it's worth mentioning.

 

If anybody can help get Logic to a higher level of accessibility, it'll be
Chi. The issues that Logic has are things like windows not being titled in
ways that are conducive to scripting the UI. Image recognition helps but is
still a bit quirky and not 100% reliable.

 

My sighted colleagues who use both Logic and Pro Tools virtually all agree
that they like Logic for composition and its sounds and Pro Tools for its
editing and mixing environment. With the advent of Komplete Kontrol and the
MIDI editing enhancements built into Pro Tools, to me, I don't feel any lack
of MIDI or virtual instrument capabilities. It's clear that some other DAWs
have more advanced or flexible MIDI implementation but that's the kind of
thing that people who are MIDI and VI-based composers care most about. I use
plenty of MIDI and virtual instruments and the degree to which I can edit
MIDI now, even on the fly, is way more than I even need. That said, a person
trying to compose and mix EDM, and I mean a blind user here, would have a
challenge on their hands when it comes to certain aspects of that type of
production. That has more to do with the interfaces of the virtual
instruments, however, and that's the area where every DAW poses a challenge
for blind users.

 

I've been openly accused of being both a Mac and Pro Tools snob. This mostly
comes from people who are equally snobbish about Windows and other DAWs
while proclaiming

RE: Protools vs Logic Pro, accessibility and productivity

2018-02-06 Thread Phil Muir

No doubt about it.  With regard to accessibility on the Mac in DAW software
even without Flo Tools which takes it to another level, Pro Tools wins hands
down.  Also they have done a ton of cool stuff in Pro Tools 2018 with regard
to MIDI which is very cool indeed!!

Hello all!

Please please no flame wars!

I would really like to hear from expert users who used both Logic and
Protools with VoiceOver on Mac OS. To be more precise, I mean the
Flotools/Protools combination vs Flogic/Logic one.

After reading various release notes on Flotools.org, I came to conclusion
that protools combined with Flotools offers an unparalleled productivity and
efficiency with VoiceOver compared to that of Logic. Of course, you can deal
with the quirks of the latter, but judging from the feature set of Flotools,
querying, editing and manipulating the audio content in Protools is much
faster than in Logic Pro.

 

Yes, I understand the difference between two DAWs. The purpose of this
message is to affirm my conclusions, especially from users who are experts
in using both.

 

Would you agree with my observations above? Are there any remaining weak
points in Protools as far as accessibility is concerned?

Thanks for any pointers, tutorials, podcasts, etc.

Vic

In case you missed it you can still purchase the full version of Samplitude
Pro X3 Suite until the 4th of January 2018 for a very special price of
£114.99, 149 euros or 149 dollars.  The inclusion of Sound Forge Pro 11 in
the package, mastering tools, analogue suite, tons of softsynths and
plug-ins, DDP import and export is worth the cost of that alone.  Links

Hey, I have finally installed pro tools. However, I don't seem to have the

flotools.org it says it is free software, but on the readme on the GitHub
page it says you need to pay after a 30 day trial. Is this the case? If so,
how much is it? I also saw something about a flo numpad that could create a
virtual numpad using keys on the keyboard. Is this any good? I wonder if
that would save me having to get a full size apple keyboard.

yeah agree chuck. 

I can't say enough about protools with speech. I learned to use PT this way.
Things have certainly progressed with newer versions, and flo tools has made
things so much quicker and easier. But it's probably good to know how to use
protools without flo tools first incase something goes a miss with keyboard
Mystro. 
I think it would be very difficult to use protools without a Num pad. I'd
get a full size mac keyboard if it were me, But not sure about the windows
keyboard, it might work but never tried this.

However, I do not yet have a full size mac keyboard, so do not have a num
pad. I have my pc keyboard for my desktop, but that, i imagine, wouldn't
work as its ment for windows. Is there simple things I can do when just
starting out that don't require a num pad? Keep in mind also that I know
basically nothing about how to use pro tools, and am still debating whether
to buy the pro tools with speech tutorials as i've heard they are no longer
worth it for learning since so much has changed. Are they something I should
buy? Or is there too many changes to bother? I imagine they'll still be good

RE: Superior Drummer versions

2017-11-30 Thread Phil Muir

Hey Pete.  You can get the latest version of Superior Drummer 2 witch is
2.4.4 from the Toontrack website.  Superior Drummer 3 is currently
inaccessible.  Slau and I have made them aware of the issues and it's down
to the fact that they wrote SD3 using the Juce platform.  Unfortunately
there is no accessibility API available in the Juce platform so unless this
is addressed in the future I can't see SD3 becoming accessible any time
soon.

Well if you are happy with the data in the wav file of the vocal track,
simply navigate to the Audio Files folder inside the name of the session

It was very impressive and gave 100% access to the TotalMix FX application.

I hope anybody who spent good money on an RME interface, thinking

Can you point me to where one can get a copy of this OSC application for
windows accessibility? 
This is why stuff like the Arturia AudioFuse and the PreSonus Quantum is
promising. All the routing is done in the DAW as the latency is low enough
now that we won't need  stuff like the total mix app to keep latency down.
Of course in the case of stuff like the x32 or other mixers with fx and
internal routing for live sound etc. OSC still makes sense if its
implemented. UAD on the other hand, if their latency figures are what they
are reporting, and their plug ins can already see which UAD cards are

Implement accessibility for Mac and Windows folks you mean? Not all 
blind audio professionals are using the Mac.

Another option would be to request support for OSC, Open Sound 
Control protocol, similar to how RME have done with their hardware, 
since we now have a utility to access that with our Windows screen 
readers - hopefully soon to be ported to the Mac as well.

In the RME case, we can now fully access the hardware, the DSP, set 
up all the routing etc. in RME's extensive application called TotalMix FX.

RE: What external hard drives are being used?

2017-11-22 Thread Phil Muir

Agreed.  Having said all that if like me you are using Pro Tools with a
single drive for samples and recording then a good SSD such as the Samsung
T3 1TB or Samsung EVO or pro are great options.

SSD's load faster and sample libraries operate at their best wen they have
quick access to read /load the data they need to be playing back in real
time while you are playing the instrument. Recording is writing  to the
drive and your standard HDD is plenty fast these days to handle the writing
of recorded files. Also HDD's are a lot cheaper per Gigabyte than SSD's are.

Hi Andre,

 

It's perfectly normal to use the second Thunderbolt port for things like
drives. Some folks use peripherals like Thunderbolt Docks to gain multiple
format I/O for more flexibility. It's definitely recommended to use a
separate drive for the system and recording/media. If you're using an SSD,
it's not as critical to use yet another separate drive for samples but, if
you have the resources, it's definitely not a bad idea.

Hope that helps,

Slau

Hi Nate,

I've had great experiences with both Western Digital and seagate drives. In
every case, they were either seventy-two hundred or ten thousand rpm drives
for the HDD models. I've used the same brands for the SSD drives for sample
libraries but not for recording. I've never used them via USB, although
these days, USB 3 is plenty fast. Thus far, I've used 1 terabyte drives but
now looking into eight or ten terabyte models for HDD. As always, SSDs are
crazy expensive when getting into those capacities. If this is for
recording, 7200 rpm HDDs are plenty fast and you can pick them up for around
seventy dollars.

RE: APOGEE Thunderbolt & monitor decoupling

2017-11-14 Thread Phil Muir

Brian.  Great post.  Just to add that long term there could be some better
options available also on the Mac side.  E.G. the Open Sound Control app
that has been developed for use on Windows is also being ported to Mac
although Can needs to work out a few bugs on it.  Still if your interface
uses the Open Sound Control network protocol then this could be potentially
great news.

Subject: Re: APOGEE Thunderbolt & monitor decoupling

Extremely well put, I am coming from the perspective of using an analog
oriented workflow on the tracking side, I supose my underlying point is we
should carefully examine our actual needs and what we can and can't live
without.

The UA stuff is great and tracking through unison would be wesome to have
access to, but they are great products without touching that I'd imagine.
Presumably you could save a preset work space to always track through a neve
front end or something, which would extract some of the extra value/fun of
unison. 

Audient interfaces are another fine USB option but again no accessibility on
their mixer software, so to me RME is the most accessible I've found once
you have a control surface and some patience. 

This is an important discussion to have I think because blind and visually
impaired users are almost more restricted with interface options in the
medium term than with software. 

As someone running a studio as a business myself I tend to feel I am best
served by letting as little of the work as possible to the
software/interface systems, but that isn't the entirely the way to go
because of modern workflows and creativity. 

Sorry for the meandering message! 

I better get mixing!

Also FW ports are disappearing so you will need a dongle or a doc to use
them in the future. Also if you notice on the Antelope devices the USB
limits the number of I/O which isn't limited when the same devices are used
over Thunderbolt. So yes I agree a lot of it is marketing hype, but my real
world experiences of having used all 3 (I too had an A FW mixer for years)
and especially having used TB and USB in the last year especially, When it
comes to running big sessions and tracking through plug ins, USB still feels
sluggish in comparison to TB devices.I say all that to say , the AudioFUse
is USB 3, and claims to get 3ms of latency which is only about 1.5ms more
than TB devices, and has everything you will need available on the physical
hardware unit so you will probably never need to launch its control panel.
So yeah, exceptions to the rule and all.

Yes I have had Focusrite support remote in and set up  Focusrite Control,
and pair the iOS app. Also saved presets for different scenarios I was
likely to use before the iOS app was available. All that is great but there
have been times I wanted to change or set up an interface for the first time
outside of support hours . Would be curious to see if they would stay on the
call long enough to do an extensive keyboard maestro set.  That being said
It would be nice if more interface went the route of the Behringer UMC or
the AudioFuse. All single knob/button per  control on the hardware and all
the routing can be done from your DAW. The AudioFuse Latency is supposed to
be down to 3ms, so I suppose its as good as USB is gonna get, and should be
low enough to track through plug ins without issues.

Well if you had the Focusrite hardware you could then call technical
support.  They are quite happy to remote into your machine with Team viewer
and no doubt would help create an accessible solution for their software
with Keyboard Maestro.  Had them take a look on machines here and they are
always happy to help.

The second gen scarlet and the Clarett are using the same control software.
The difficulty  with Keyboard Maestro may be if it shows a different

I am not for any brand just as long as it is not one of those fall apart

thunderbolt is best as that is what the future is going to version two of
thunderbolt or better probably is best but if it only supports version one
that is fine I want to buy for the future. Anymore questions please ask.  I
am going to look into a control surface as well would think it is best if
that is not part of the interface and if there is one that has automated
controls that move when Pro Tools moves the fadors and supports changing
plugin settings that would be nice.  Nick Gawronski

Hi in my opinion FireWire is pretty much dead, yes you still get the
converters to connect FireWire devices to newer Mac's, but buying a new
FireWire device at this stage when you can go for thunderbolt directly,
won't be such a smart move.

Thunderbolt is much newer technology with much faster throughput and it will
be supported for some time to come, where some manufacturers already started
discontinuing support for FireWire.

As for your issue of only having one thunderbolt port, most fundable devices
monitors, drives, and audio interfaces,  have more than one port on them
which allows you to daisy chain devices.  Look for a interface with 2
Thunderbolt ports, run out off your computer into the interface, and out of
the Interface into your monitor. 

Look at the Focusrite Clarett interfaces, just keep in mind from what I
understand there Control software isn't accessible on the Mac.

Hi All,

I need to choose a new audio interface, and looking around suggests that 
Thunderbolt may be better than FireWire.   I only have one Thunderbolt 
port which is used by the monitor, so what would be the best way of 
connecting an interface?

Secondary question, do you have a recommendation for an interface with 
at least 4 (but not more than 8) independent inputs and MIDI in, from 
the likes of Focusrite or Mackie, whether TB or FW?

RE: Thunderbolt or Firewire

2017-08-25 Thread Phil Muir

Doesn't matter really because firewire is still a good choice.  Also you are
still future proofed because as long as there's thunderbolt then chances are
you can get a firewire to thunderbolt converter and still use the firewire
device.

Subject: Thunderbolt or Firewire

Hi All,

I need to choose a new audio interface, and looking around suggests that 
Thunderbolt may be better than FireWire.   I only have one Thunderbolt 
port which is used by the monitor, so what would be the best way of 
connecting an interface?

Secondary question, do you have a recommendation for an interface with 
at least 4 (but not more than 8) independent inputs and MIDI in, from 
the likes of Focusrite or Mackie, whether TB or FW?

Best,

Peter

RE: Accessible loudness meter plug-ins for mastering

2017-08-25 Thread Phil Muir

Hey Nickus.  That's one reason I still work in Windows as I can use the TT
Dynamic Range meter to check levels when mastering in Samplitude using
iZotopes oZone 6 Advanced.  Can also easily check LUFS in Sound Forge 11
again on Windows.  Don't know of any tools like this on Mac OS.  Also the TT
Dynamic range meter is now discontinued.  It's been replaced by the MAAT DR
Meter witch is inaccessible because it uses the Juce platform.  I have been
in touch with MAAT who develop this and there isn't anything that can be
done at the moment but they would like to make it accessible if at all
possible.  Really glad I have some great tools on Windows to do this.

Hi all
Are their anyone who found a usable loudness meter plug-in enabling you to
master to specific loudness standards? From time to time I must master some
things for TV or radio and I'm finding this harder and harder to do with the
enforcement of loudness standards getting more strict.

All these type plug-ins like Izotope Loudness Controll are purely visual,
making them impossible to use for a blind person. Anyone came across a semi
accessible plug-in or have some clever work around? I'm sure there are some
of you on this list who came across this problem before, I know there's
someone on here who does a lot of mastering, I can't remember the name now.

Hey Nate,

If there was an easy way to simply copy and paste the hundreds of plug-ins
into my reply, that would make things a whole lot easier :) To generalize, I
take full advantage of all of the stock plug-ins plus the bundles that Avid
has put out over the years. That includes things like the Pultec, Fairchild,
Joe Meek, Voce bundles, among others. I'm also a fan of the stomp box
plug-ins that came out a couple of years ago. I use the Sound Toys plug-ins
a lot and a number of Plug-in Alliance offerings. There are some things that
I use all the time and some things that occasionally get instantiated. There
are the meat and potato plug-ins that virtually always get used like the
stock plug-ins and there are those that are more utilitarian like Pitch'n
Time, RX6, Drum Leveler, SPL Transient Designer, etc. Then there are things
like Altiverb, Arousor and some of the Sound Toys stuff that are more a
matter of taste from project to project.

All of that stuff is, of course, more on the audio side. Virtual Instruments
naturally includes Komplete Ultimate, all of the AIR expansions, Mach 5,
Ravenscroft, Ivory and… I can't think of what else off the top of my head
right now. Hope that answers your question.

RE: Pro Tools Accessibility for pupils who are severely sight impaired

2017-08-03 Thread Phil Muir

I wouldn't personally recommend using Pro Tools on the Windows side.  Note:
this is from someone who uses it on the Mac and have occasionally used it on
Windows in order to get out stuff.  Having said that if you were to move to
Windows then other options such as Samplitude Pro X 3 Suite which is
basically 9697 % Sequoia is extremely accessible using the Jaws screen
reader and the scripts available on:

 

http://www.samplitudeaccess.org.uk/

 

.  Reaper is another option on Windows although not personally used it much
and I appreciate all of the above may be taking you away from using Pro
Tools.

Hi Christopher,

 

I appreciate your candour here. Pro Tools is complex and the priority needs
to be the development of their VoiceOver skills. 

 

One work around, given the limited time available in a single school
session, would be to use a laptop / pc workstation with Dolphin Supernova
(screen enlargement) and the latest PC version of Pro Tools. I'm waiting to
hear back from Pro Tools about this. 

 

Thank you again,

Hi Christopher, 

 

Thank you for your swift reply. The pupil's skills with VoiceOver are not
that advanced, which in itself is an issue, and we will be supporting and
assisting the pupil in developing these this session. 

 

Pro Tools is also brand new to the pupil and the licences that we currently
have are dated versions of Pro Tools. We will be addressing this also.

 

Can I ask what you would suggest?

Hello all, 

 

This is my first post to this Google Group. I work in a Scottish Secondary
School and we support pupils, who are severely sight impaired, to access the
curriculum and learning.

 

However, we are having great difficulty in making Pro Tools accessible for a
senior pupil, as the level of detail that is displayed on the Monitor is far
too small. The pupil's Near Vision is around N36.

 

Can anyone offer advice in relation to this please?

Re: the pt access dropbox folder that's shared

You are going to have to get some kind of utility that allows you to unlock a 
folder from a drive because you don't have permission for that Dropbox folder.

There are presets for it but the preset manager for it is inaccessible on

Hi All,

Thanks to Chris and Phil for recommending Vintage Reverb from 
ValhallaDSP.  I have it working and it does generally sound good, but is 
there a trick to adjusting parameters?  when I interact with them and 
try the usual VO-up/down the values speak but don't change.

Also, there don't seem to be any default presets.  Is that right or is 
there another trick?

Best,

Peter

RE: putting the full pro tools 12 installers for the mac along with the avid plugins into the ptaccess dropbox folder for ease of location

2017-06-17 Thread Phil Muir

Rather than putting those installers in the folders you would be better to
maybe put them somewhere on your own dropbox then post a link to those files
as those take up quite a lot of space.  Or you could contact Avid technical
support who no doubt would sort you out with direct links to the files.

RE: Juce accessibility, How to get the money?

2017-06-16 Thread Phil Muir

JPR.  Juce can already be made to be somewhat accessible.  You just need to
know how to do that.  For instance.  The Ilok Licence manager on Windows and
Mac is somewhat accessible on both platforms.  I think Slau may have had
discussions with Pace on the Ilok application.  No reason why that same
accessibility couldn't be ported to other apps.

RE: Flo Tools 2.2 is live

Subject: Flo Tools 2.2 is live

 

For those who already have Flo Tools 2.01 installed, the next time you
launch Pro Tools, you should get a notification that the new version of Flo
Tools, version 2.2, is available. Alternatively, you can just go to
floTools.org and download the installer. Which ever way you go about it,
it's out in the wild. Go get it!

 

For what it's worth, I'm pasting the "What's New" below but that's also
available at the web site.

 

Cheers,

 

slau

 

What's New in Flo Tools 2.2

 

Wait, 2.2? What happened to 2.1? What about 2.0.2? While we're at it, was
there a 2.0.1b? Well, let's not get too hung up on the numbers and instead
take a look at what's new in the version formerly known as 2.whatever.

 

Speak / Toggle Tab to Transients  Command+Option+Tab

Blind Pro Tools users are quite familiar with navigating through tracks by
using the Tab key with modifiers to jump to clip boundaries. One of the
really helpful modes when editing with keyboard shortcuts is the Tab to
Transients feature. If you've ever done a lot of drum editing, you'll know
how useful and time-saving a feature it is. However, there often comes a
point where the line between what's a transient and what's a clip boundary
becomes confusing, especially when you begin to cycle back and forth between
Tab to Transients being on or off. You might find yourself pressing Tab ,
thinking you're moving by transient and you're suddenly editing a clip that
you didn't intend to change. Since we often gather information by tabbing
and playing to verify certain things upon playback rather than navigating to
a control to check its status, it can potentially get a bit tedious when
doing a lot of editing with many clips and many transients.

 

The "Speak / Toggle Tab to Transients" macro reports the status of the Tab
to Transients button. Double-tapping the shortcut toggles the state. This
macro makes it easy to quickly verify the current mode and switch back and
forth swiftly and reliably.

 

Speak / Toggle Insertion Follows Playback   Control+n

If you had to guess what this macro does. you'd probably be correct. Need we
say more?

 

Speak / Select Shuffle Mode f1

Speak / Select Slip Mode f2

Speak / Select Spot Modef3

Speak/Select Grid Mode  f4

Naturally, these macros are virtually self-explanatory. All you need to know
is that a single tap reports the state of the edit mode and double-tapping
the shortcut toggles the state, just like the aforementioned macros. Note
that Grid Mode has two states: Absolute and Relative. Once Grid Mode has
been selected, further double-tapping will toggle between Absolute and
Relative Grid Mode.

 

Speak / Toggle QuickPunch  Command+Shift+p

Speak / Toggle Loop Playback Command+Shift+l

speak / Toggle Loop RecordOption+l

Speak/Toggle Pre/Post Roll  Command+k

Most users will remember that these record and playback mode shortcuts are
found under the Options menu. You've probably gotten used to the shortcuts
and maybe even have them memorized. The thing is, most of these modes cannot
be changed while the transport is engaged. Now, imagine you've hit the play
button and are getting ready to punch in a vocalist's performance but you're
unaware or at least forgot that you turned off QuickPunch earlier in the
session. That singer might  very well the about to give the performance of
their lives while you're about to sit there listening to the previous take,
unaware that pressing the Record button won't work because QuickPunch is not
enabled. Well, now you can verify whether QuickPunch is on while the
transport is rolling. While it is true that if QuickPunch is not enabled,
you won't be able to turn it on before the punch-in point but at least you
can instantly stop the transport and double-tap the same shortcut to quickly
toggle it on. What's more, if QuickPunch was on to begin with, you will have
saved yourself the trouble of stopping in the first place.

 

The same idea holds true for Loop Record and Loop Playback although the
stakes might not be as high as when it comes to the pressure of a punch-in.
Still, it's nice to be able to verify before engaging the transport rather
than having everything stop at the end of a selection when you thought you
were in loop mode all along.

 

While it's possible to toggle Pre/Post-Roll during playback, having the
ability to report the state before toggling it, if necessary, Helps avoid
having to toggle and playing to verify the Pre/Post-Roll status.

 

Increase / Decrease Instrument Volume Command+Option+up/down arrows

The Flo Tools Inspector offers shortcuts for just about everything in a
track's channel strip.

Hi Brian,
Marker info is not embedded in a WAV. Clip information can be but I'm not
sure if Logic will interpret clip info in the same way. In other words, clip
info for a continuous WAV file is embedded and the host application imports
that file and sees the associated clips and recognizes their timestamps.
Pure Marker location information can be exported separately as text and
imported into a spreadsheet or text editor but then you'd have to manually
recreate those markers elsewhere in another DAW. Come to think of it,
markers can only be imported into Pro Tools from other session files rather
than from text so there's certainly a limitation going the other way but,
who knows, maybe Logic can import markers from a text file.

Ok, this is probably so far beneath most of you that it doesn't bear asking,

I'm actually an assistant prof. who teaches software development and HCI
who mucks around with audio stuff in whatever spare time is available.

 

So to the point.  I've got my hands on a Mackie MCU-Pro.  I've connected it
up to Protools, and opened the mixing session from the fantastic Protools
with speech tutorials..  Now:  Can any of you point me at an "idiot's guide"
to using PT with a control surface?  I've done my work (and it's basic basic
stuff) using keyboard only thus far.  I've produced a few podcasts,
screencast audio tracks (and the like) but that's about it.  however, I may
be undertaking an M.Sc. in music technology in the autumn, and part of that
is based around Protools; so I'm trying to get a head-start.

 

Thanks again for any answers, and your patience.

Subject: album pre order and are there any mastering engineers on this list?

Hi everybody.

Two quick things...

Using the link below, you can pre order my next solo album for only
$5! If people want to put another amount into the kitty, I have
different things at various levels. please check it out and feel free
to send feedback my way! You'll find background info as well as the
first batch of demos...

http://www.gofundme.com/2kjjphuh

Everybody that shares this link on facebook will be entered into a
drawing to win a previous album of mine either in mp3 format, or, a
physical cd if you'd prefer something tangible.

While we're on the subject, do any of you have recommendations for
getting this link to more people? My facebook and twitter reach isn't
that big and I'm just not getting a lot of traction with this. If I
were friends with Satriani, Santana, or Oprah, getting it to a ton of
people would probably be a lot easier but I'm not in that boat. Lol. I
know there are tons of people doing the same thing I am with this and
I feel I'm not standing out.

Finally, are there any mastering engineers on this list? If so, could
you send me some before and after clips off list please? I'm
interested in finding someone to master this and it'd be nice if I
could pay someone in this community to do the job. You can reach me
off list at: came...@cameronstrife.com

Thanks,

Cameron.

 Hi,


I have two questions:
1. How would you edit mouth clicks?
2. How would you time stretch a clip from 30 seconds to 2 minutes without

Thanks in advance.

RE: Ravens croft Update

2017-04-29 Thread Phil Muir

Ah the joys of shared folders on Drop box.  I suspect you may have copied
the folder from Dropbox on to your system or an external drive attached to
your system.  The problem then is that because you only have read access
wrights then you can't remove the folder from your system or even an
external drive because you are not the admin for the folder.  I too had an
issue with the PT Access Dropbox being locked on my system and couldn't
delete it because I had move my dropbox folders else where so it was no
longer required.  Hat to locate a utility on Windows called unlocker which
was able to unlock the folder from the file system and ultimately remove.  I
couldn't remove it until I had done that because I didn't have file
permissions to do that.  I suspect there would be a similar application
available for the Mac.  You won't be able to get rid of that folder on the
Mac until it's unlocked.

Hi Slau,
That worked.  Now when I am trying to delete the true piano presets from the
folder, it is saying that it cannot be completed because the operation is
locked.  Any suggestions as to why it might be saying that?  It tries to
move them to the trash but then I get that error message.  Thanks,

RE: Superior Drummer plug-in views docs

2017-04-23 Thread Phil Muir

To add a bit of clarity.  You could load up Superior Drummer 2 in Reaper
then audition the MIDI loops that way.

Just to add to this that although Pro Tools can't audition MIDI Loops
without importing them it looks like Reaper can so perhaps an alternative
method to audition all of the MIDI drum loops that ship with Superior could
be to load up Reaper and use that as an auditioning tool then load up the
ones you like into a PT session.  Here's a video showing Reaper in action
doing this:

Hi Steve,

 

It's difficult to answer an "is it worth it" kind of question because it
involves "worth" which translates into money and not everybody thinks the
same in terms of dollars or whatever currency. Before I offer an opinion,
first let me say that Flo Tools offers access to UI elements within Superior
Drummer II which is the only version you can currently buy. While Superior
Drummer does have MIDI loops available, the browser is not currently
accessible. Therefore, one must program drums manually. Manual drum
programming is not for everyone and, even for those who do it, for some it
comes easy and for others it's somewhat time-consuming. If one knows how to
play drums or knows how drummers play, it's a fairly straight-forward matter
of playing parts on pads or keyboard. Superior Drummer comes with one
library and there are about a dozen other Superior Drummer libraries with
the letters SDX before the library name. Superior can also play Easy drummer
libraries of which there are dozens and those have an EZX in front of the
library name. Superior Drummer costs around $300 but it often goes on sale
for $199 or less and that includes the default Avatar library. The SDX
expansions cost around $150 each but they sometimes go on sale for half
price. The EZX libraries cost around $100 but also go on sale for half price
perhaps once a year or so.

 

So, all told, you might spend as little as $150 or as much as a thousand
dollars, depending on when and what you buy. It's hard to say whether it's
worth it. To me, it's undoubtedly the best sounding virtual drum library out
there. I've heard pretty much all of them and, while some are great, I think
Superior Drummer is a cut above. Now that it's fairly accessible in Pro
Tools, I think it's a great way to go if you're adept at programming drum
parts.

 

HTH,

Slau

Long story short (and you'll have to fill in some blanks as I'm in a bit of
a rush right now), if you want to use Phil's multi-out routings:

Instantiate Superior on  a stereo  instrument track.

Use Control plus the arrow keys to navigate to the Load/Save menu and select
"Load."

Navigate to one of Phil's multi SD2 files and make sure it's a library that
you own and load it.

Create 15 stereo aux tracks.

Interact with the input of the first aux track and, with
Command+Option+Shift pressed,  set it to Plug-In>Superior Drummer Insert
A>bus 3-4.

 

Now any sequence on the Instrument track will be split out to kick in, kick
out, sub kick, snare top, snare bottom, etc.

 

This is a very quick and dirty explanation but that's the basic story. Phil
might chime in with more of a description and possibly paste in the text of
the document he created explaining the routing and what's on each set of
busses.
