The global setting for grouped plugins was a new one for me. I usually use the groups to create different views in large sessions. Group only drums, only vocals, only bus/aux tracks. Then you can recall the memory location and only view the selected tracks in the group.
This is why i love my job. Ive been doing this for about 8 years and i can always learn something new 👍🏾.. your never “to good” to learn. Thanx for the tips my wavy brother 🌊
Also, the “Do to selected function” has another level you can add shift + alt + command (windows key) and it will cascade your input/output selection. So if I’m setting up 6 fx busses - select the 6 aux tracks, press alt, shift, command the click input -> bus 1-2, then the other tracks will auto fill 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 , 9-10 and 11-12. That one I figured out by accident. Saved me a lot of time.
I actually knew a lot of these, But def learned some new stuff too. Subbed. On the first tip - playback at half speed, I use that trick in editing when I need to hear really small differences in rhythm or hear exactly where the down beat is to make a cut. Also you can use it to record really fast midi parts. I’ve written some parts that are just too fast for me to pull off on midi keys for example. Boom - hit record, shift, play and then record the midi part at half speed. Plays back at normal speed. Also midi doesn’t playback pitch shifted down an octave when you do halftime playback, only audio tracks do that.
Been using PT since 2000 and I still knew to watch this video. Grouped plugins? I’m so annoyed thinking back how many times I’ve needed that and will need it 🤦♂️ this video kinda makes me want to take the courses
This is a great video for people who do not have Pro Tools Certifications. I have taken 5 Pro Tools classes and have received my User and Operator license and if everyone one here really LOVES these tips then go get your Cert's!!! This is just the tip of the iceberg! Also ear training will help immensely to tell if something sounds good. Also What Cert's do you teach?
Great video and I did learn a couple of things which isn't easy bercasue I've been using PT since Day One! lol Anywa, one of my favorite tricks I use when I'm dealing with a grid track is using the Set Sync Point function. This is very useful when you need to copy a clip that starts a little before the downbeat of a measure or any grid value like Qtr Note or 8th note or Bar. You select the bar or beat you want to mark within a clip or region with your cursor, hit CTRL Comma on Windows or COMMAND Comma on Mac to set a symc point. Now you can grab that clip and Use the CTRL Copy function to slide it to a new spot on your grid and it is perfectly in sync with the grids.
Wavy Wayne, I appreciate everything I have learned from you RU-vid presentations. I would love to be able join the study, but I am not available enough because I work everyday, try to spend some time in the my studio in the evenings, and some on the weekends, I am on stage. When I have time for studio, I find you. My DAW is a Tascam DM3200 (which I am still learning). I would be awesome to link up with someone has my setup. What do you recommend Wavy? I would great the speak with you. Thanks.
Show them how to map a tempo in protools. If the audio is recorded without a click track but you need to add a midi instrument, you will need to make a tempo map so that you can use a click when you overdub
Im glade ive seen this frfr it was more stuff i didnt know like in my last song on my channel i didnt use all those tip thanks wavy your a real blessing my guyy yee
Dang..i also use nudge.. old school tape. The last tip almost hits my current problem. I have two bars in yellow with dots on either side that i cannot seem to get rid of. •| |• 👈like that but in yellow. I have to place the blue marker manually every time.. it's a pain.
WaVY WAYNE , My question is what type of faDER CONTROL THAT YOU HAVE IN THIS VIDEO AND DOES IT COME 32 CHANNELS AND OR WHAT AMOUNT OF CHANNELS DOES IT COME AND WITH?
MAAAAAAAAN... that last one, 😂✊🏿💥. I've just been dealing wt it for years and never bothered to look it up. The *nudge is going to be a huge help, too. I normally drag clips wt the mouse, by ear. This will help me get it more spot on.... Wtout sliding too far either way. Good look! #burnstrumentals
I also use import session data.. I would like to ask also, I'm still on protools 9 I'm stuck in finishing a record and need to obviously upgrade my system.. what is the best protools equipment to get these days. I am really out of touch.
