Old Fart Needs Help
Hi,
Many of my gigs are moving towards digital mixers, and from what I understand Pro Tools is pretty much the standard front end for these digital desks. I would appreciate any advice on how I could learn Pro Tools specifically for live mixing. I"m am quite proficient in the analog domain, so I already know about mixing, FX, etc. Besides going for training, (which is quite beyond my means at this point), what would be the best way to teach myself? I have downloaded the free Pro Tools First. What should I do next? Thanks in advance for any help. Nekko PS - Here's a test for how old you are: Does anyone remember the Echoplex?

One thing would be to research PT compatible interfaces that can accommodate the amount of I/O channels you will need for your live setting.
PT|First is good for familiarizing yourself with the general workflow of PT. But the full version can accommodate more I/O demand with a compatible & reputable multi-in/out interface. |

Hi, welcome to the community.
I have done lots of live gigs with PT and all I can say less plugins you need to use the better your live mix will sound

I think I remember a Echoplex. Wasn't that a spring reverb? Or a cheap plate reverb box? OK. Googling... Well, far off. Here, wikipedia: Echoplex PS: I remember my first mixer, late seventies, had a built-in spring reverb that had one option; more or less. A 8 or 12 channel thing we used for rehersals. Roland, I think? |

We had an Echoplex, a Binson Echorec and a Fender spring in the rack on our control room wall. The Echoplex used a tape loop.

Oh gawd.., we had a (1972!) Yamaha PM200b mixer and matching powered speaker columns.
A WEM Copycat for my guitar rig. A room mate destroyed it flicking the 110/220v AC switch. Next step up was a Dynacord Echocord MINI... Yes I'm owld...
