Re: Which PTools will perform as good as MIX24+?

Can you give me some more details? I mean - how many plugins you could use per track?

What I need is about no more than 40 tracks per mix plus reverb/delay and at least 30 plugins on not all...

Re: Which PTools will perform as good as MIX24+?

I don't have c600. I don't have 3 monitors.

I'm searching, because I want to buy PT to replace my PT5.1.3 with similar power, but HD is out of question. To expensive as a hobby.

That's why I'm...

Re: Connect PC to MAC TDM Mix + synchro problems

Still DIGI pushes for PT HD.

Sorry DIGI, costs to much and d/loads of mp3 are still free!

Time to learn Sonar. Wondering if I can synchro...

Re: Connect PC to MAC TDM Mix + synchro problems

Of course. The problem is - PT will synchro with Mix +?

For years DIGI made it a mission impossible and I'm wondering, if they have changed their policies.

Connect PC to MAC TDM Mix + synchro problems

I use a PC with bunch of synths with my MAC, but I want to run PTools M with Mac in synchro to have some more power. Is it possible? Or would I have to use Sonar (Many praising that one!) or Cubase?...

How many reverbs on one track or in the whole mix?

Automation tricks

Can't afford a PT Controller at this stage and moving mice in order to try to rise up a volume of strings or cymbal rolls drives me nuts!

Some hints to make it a little easier please!

The mix can sound so different, good, brilliant or bad, just with different levels and I'm not talking about some ridiculously crazy levels.
