Pro Tools Le 8 ( Midi Controller-Audio files/ Send Channels)

[sweetambition4real]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Pro Tools and I am starting to figure it out... but I am having trouble with the following things...

Was hoping somone could give me step by step instructions or any useful videos? pleaaaaaaaaasssse.

1) How do I loop a section or the whole track?

2) I have set up my Midi controller keyboard and it works fine, but I noticed when i try to use Audio samples in Pro tools, I cannot control these with the keyboard... I can only control instrument Tracks via Plug ins e.g Grand Piano etc.. How can I control Audio samples with my keyboard?


3) How can I set up A Send channel so that I can place a nuber of effects and have numerous sounds/vocals coming out of that channel so the effects are applied to all and I dont have to add the same effects to each mixer channel...


Would realy appreciate your help

Thanks
