New to PT, use as Final Delivery still standard?
Hello, new to the Forum, and new to Pro tools..
I think I need Pro Tools for final delivery as I am doing more and more TV, and Ad work (music scoring) and PT is still a must, even though I use a bit of Ableton (Sound Design), Logic, FL Studio, and Reaper which is close, but obviously isn't PT when it comes to delivering sessions. This maybe a stupid question but does anyone else 'compile' audio from various DAW's, like an old school 24-track tape machine, (so you can pick a bit of each and their strengths) and compile them all into a Pro tools session at separate times? It may sound daft, but I don't really see anyone else doing this, as it mostly seems to be just Logic etc. Maybe I'm wrong? But I would like to 'compile' in Protools as final delivery, but use it as a big Tape Recorder (with no sync to any other DAW but same tempo audio) so that i can play a few sounds or tracks/loops from Ableton, (record into PT), then load Logic, with its Instruments, and fx, (record into PT), maybe even play some piano live on a Pro tools track/take? and so on... maybe people are doing this?... or not, as there's flaws to it? So then this way everything at the end is in one place and in Audio in PT, and you can edit, manipulate audio, and sync it perfectly to a video/film, for sound design and/or composition. My 'brain' seems to work quicker when working on one thing at a time, and moving on, and mixing separately at the end, instead of doing it all at once. This is why i am looking at Pro tools Standard as a 'tape recorder' to do this with? Also can i ask if PT still needs an iLok these days? Hope this post makes sense, or am I way off the mark? - sorry am new :) |

Yes PT uses iLok, regarding the rest well lots of folks use multiple DAW’s that they feel do certain things better or a prefered way. Doing the way I think you are asking I think you would need DAW’s running on seperate puters with seperate DAW’s, audio interfaces....etc...etc. if you are wanting everything to work at the same time and interact with each other. ie you can’t run multiple daws on one putter at a time something is bound to fart. Then you would just need to patch everything together... and prolly hope for no hum in the sys.

Re: New to PT, use as Final Delivery still standard?
Thanks but I probably should have explained that Id use one daw at a time and compile sounds and fx all in pro tools as a multi track, switching between each daw.
Then at the end just concentrate on protocols to arrange and mix all of my compiled samples and audio? 😊 |

Re: New to PT, use as Final Delivery still standard?
As long as your files all line up when you bring them into PT, and this method works for you, your clients are only going to care about what they end up with. So if they want a pro tools session with audio tracks, I dont see a problem. For most people (myself included), Pro Tools is the best audio editor and mixer of any DAW. But, I still prefer logic for the my initial MIDI composing. I start everything in Logic and finish the project in Pro Tools.

Do you compose little parts in Logic at the start against picture, then record or transfer these into PT and line them up exactly in there, against frames? Or do you do the whole thing in Logic, then at the end export as audio and line up in PT? |

When I receive Logic projects, I demand that every track (audio file) begins from zero. Just to have everything properly synced, nothing more.

If you use a physical iLok, understand what happens if you lose the iLok or it fails, and the ZDT insurance option. All described on iLok.com and discussed on many posts on DUC. |
