Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
As a new user of Transport and Mix, I've set up some things I use often as shortcuts, but got to wondering what many of you have found super helpful to have and how yours is set up to make things move as quickly as possible.
Anyone like to share their setup ideas and what works well for you? Thanks Tom |

I have an artist control and would enjoy seeing other peoples setups as well.

Re: Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
Hopefully these captures are explanatory enough :) I'm mostly a post-production guy and I use these primarily for my dialog editorial and during the mix. I use a combination of hotkeys, macros, window layouts, and memory locations. Hope these give some ideas to you.
Here's an old template I made, but it shows what it looks like on the unit. Surface - Page 1 Surface - Page 2 Touchscreen - Page 1

Re: Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
Only slightly off-topic:
Is there a way to take my personal setup to a different studio? Is there a way to export/import the setup and then import a page into the other control without wiping the custom settings on the other unit? Also: How can I move my softkey sessings from page 135 to page 1 without manually setting everything up from scratch again? Cheers, frank.

Re: Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
On the soft keys mine looks like this...
Preview - Suspend - Latch - Touch - Trim - Read On the number pad it's... Write to end - Continuous (No Scroll w/Shift) - Enable plugin Punch Preview - Enable volume - Enable send volume Auto Match - Enable pan - Enable send mute Mem Loc - Mem Loc - Mem Loc Mem Loc - Mem Loc - Mem Loc Show all tracks I'm a post guy as well. Hope that helps. JR

Re: Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
Im new to PT world (have been using Logic for years... just installed PT10 and making a slow migration over).
Is it possible to setup MCContol softkeys to insert a specific plug in (say in the first available insert slot of the selected track)? ideally i'd like to have a screen of softkeys with my most-used plugins and use that to insert them onto a selected track. (btw, if anyone has figured out a way of doing something similar in logic -- would love to know too :) but dont think you can actually do that in logic. Looking at some of Ryan's screenshots -- looks like you have softkeys/hotkeys assigned to specific plugins. is that for PT? Quote:

Re: Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
Im new to PT-World (have been a Logic user for years and now making a slow migration to PT10).
Looking at Ryan's screenshots - looks like some of your softkeys (or hotkeys) are linked to specific plugins. Is this possible in mcControl w/PT10? ideally, what im trying to do is have a page of softkeys with a bunch of my mostly used plugins so that i can insert one of the plugins into the first available insert slot of the selected track. I dont think its possible in logicpro (if anyone has figured out a way to do it -- i would love to know as well). is this something that can be done with PT? thanks |

Re: Share Your Favorite Transport Setups..
Unfortunately, you can't really pull up the RTAS plugin on a selected track, with one hot key. What I did was recalling a window configuration with AudioSuite plugins. Here's what you'd do, if you wanted to do that:
Open the plugin of choice. Place the plugin (and everything else) where you want on the screen. Store a new window configuration (lets use #1) Set your McControl's button to perform a EuCon action of recalling window configuration #1 or have it execute the following keystrokes (for #1, perform the following keystrokes on the numerical keypad) . 1 * Name the button to whatever you'd like Enjoy!!
