Re: A few questions

Hello Brian, Yes, I have been in touch with Slau and he is being incredibly helpful. I may consider listening to the ProTools with Speech tutorials at some point, because at least I’m sure they’ll give me a better idea of how things work. I can tell that this list will be an invaluable resource

Re: A few questions

Hi, Sorry as you may guess I replied in a rush to you originally, so forgot you had specifically referred to using Voice Over and the mac. As Slau recommended in his replies the standard version of Protools and not HD or Protools first would be the best starting point in my opinion. I don't

Re: A few questions

Not to discourage you from Pro Tools as its definitely the most accessible out of the box and SloTools only seem to make it more so. However what you are describing can be done in reaper on the Mac especially now that the OSARA plug in has been ported. I was just a bit confused since you stated

Re: A few questions

Hello, Yes, my main use for PT would be to record and mix piano. I usually record with 4 mics, but occasionally use 3 when recording chamber music. Most of the time I use an Apogee Quartet. Believe it or not the standard in classical music is Sequoia, because it apparently has some very special

Re: A few questions

Hello, No no, I am a Mac user and own several of them, so I was hoping to use Pro Tools with VoiceOver. What would be the best resource for me to get started? Are the Pro Tools with Speech tutorials still the way to go or would you recommend something more recent? Weren’t those tutorials

Re: A few questions

Hi Ignasi, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by crossfades specifically designed for piano or classical music in general (you didn't exactly specify) but I can assure you that no platform is more widely used than Pro Tools. Also, it happens to be extremely accessible, especially for purposes

Re: New to the list with a few questions

Pro tools came of dominance in an age when you needed the additional hardware processing to do audio on a computer. Even though for smaller projects you may not need it, where it still dominates is in film scoring and post production where the projects and the asset sizes are massive. However

Re: New to the list with a few questions

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe ProTools was one of the first DAW's. As such, many studios invested in it, which meant also buying some rather expensive hardware for hosting plugins etc. Anyone else remember those inflated prices for Waves TDM plugins? Things were vastly different in

Re: Introduction and a few questions.

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.

Re: Introduction and a few questions.

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

Re: Introduction and a few questions.

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

Re: Introduction and a few questions.

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

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
