Re: Is a used 2008/9 Mac Pro Quad Core a good investment?

I have a 2010 and it's worked flawlessly with Pro Tools. The only little issue I have is with the dumb wireless mouse sucking the batteries every 6 weeks or so. I bought a battery charger and...

Re: Fear and Loathing in Pro Tools

Classic Unintended rock comedy! No doubt Deep Purple and bands of that era were models for Marty DiBergi's Spinal Tap Rockumentary due to lines such as you quoted no doubt uttered w/out a trace of...

Re: Fear and Loathing in Pro Tools

Hilarious. I just got a douche chill reading this as 25 years of studio work flashed before my eyes. There's nothing like objective mixing advice from the musicians whose only comment is "[insert...

Re: New to ProTools, Need help!!!

Ask a lot of questions, read everything you can find on Pro Tools and watch as many tutorials as possible. This is not a plug and play system, this is a pro level digital work flow that is not 100%...

Re: Fear and Loathing in Pro Tools

Fear and Loathing in Pro Tools

One of the first recording "tips and tricks" I got was at the age of 17 when a top notch studio engineer told me to "play the guitar better." Yeah, ok thanks for nuttin' buddy; which brings me to the...

Re: New to Pro Tools: Pro Tools 11 Tutorials

What's great about this is there a bunch of good tutorials and videos on this website that go over 9 and 10, not as in-depth as others, but the price is right (free). If you have time to explore...

Re: Is there any sound degradation when turning down a master fader?

To get a better idea of how it can trip people up, read this post (and the few that follow it)

Re: Reverb On Multiple Instruments

I have a love hate relationship w reverb. When I hear it on an old rock and roll song I love it - esp the Elvis/Buddy Holly slap reverb combo. When I put it on my own songs I do my best to...

Re: Is there any sound degradation when turning down a master fader?

Many analog moons ago we recorded w engineers who would record and play back our tracks at relatively low volumes but then try to "wow" us with an extremely loud mix playback. It always sounded great...

Re: Is there any sound degradation when turning down a master fader?

I haven't had to do this in a session yet, but it blows my mind to realize its possible. Does this concept cross analog lines? In other words if I create a distorted analog mix +12db record it to...

Re: Reverb On Multiple Instruments

I think the OP's premise is a little shaky. If I understand it correctly he's saying that the reverb he puts on the snare will create an overall reverb wash for the entire mix thereby negating the...

Re: Clip Gain is your friend

Those are both great tips for making automation more palatable.

Re: Clip Gain is your friend

I've thought about going with the control surface having been born on a mixing console and being able to chew gum and twirl a knob at the same time - it only made sense. Maybe some day, but for now,...

Re: Clip Gain is your friend

Good point. Generally once I start inserting PIs I don't use clip gain as much. I'm sure some people are good at limiting the amount of time they spend on automation, but I'm not one of them - it's...
