Cool. I'm using 7.3.1. I have maybe white gold ears at best. So I doubt that I'll hear any artifacts. However, one of the other guys that is going to be doing some work on the project is using 6.4 on PC as well. So it sounds as if he may have some trouble. Right? Arrg. That's why I wanted everyone t...

.AIFF + ProTools on PC

Apologies if this has been covered or if I'm just being an idiot, but I'm at work and don't have time to UTFSF. I will be recieving a PT session from a friend that lives overseas, and he said all of his stuff was tracked in .aiff format. I've always exclusively used broadcast wave's since they're so...

Colin F. wrote: Do your automation with the "volume trim" parameter instead and you can make your moves and just have the fader control post - auto levels. Oh wow. That's a GREAT idea! I feel dumb for not having thought if it. Thanks! Yea. That idea rocks. All really good suggestions. Thanks again.

Kick ass! You guys are the best. Thanks so much, this will be a huge help tonight when I'm tweaking mixes. I had wondered what that horizontal trim tool was all about. Makes sense now.

You are all lifesavers!

ProTools LE Volume Automation Question

I apologize if this has been covered previously, but UTSFS didn't help me out much, so here goes. Say you've written a line of volume automation on a track in PTLE and there's various moves that occur throughout the song. After writing the automation, and moving on in the mix, you decide that the en...

That's exactly what I did with my MX24. I looked at it like drive maintenance since i couldn't defrag or anything like that. I could tell when I was getting bad sectors, little weird things would start to happen. It wasn't too bad since I had a smallish drive in the machine for working projects and ...

I used to get that back in the day with my Tascam MX2424. It was caused by heat troubles if I remember correctly. I think the power supply was overheating - some people switched out the power supply and that took care of it, but I just cleaned out the completely clogged grill on the exhaust fan, the...

Thanks for all of the great suggestions so far. I'm still a week or so away from tracking the saw, but I will definately experiment with different mics/ placements. When I'm done, I'll post a sample so you guys can check it out.

Any other suggestions? Keep them coming!

Thanks.

sounds like the other guy didn't consolodate his tracks and then discard the unused bits and pieces from the session/ audio files folder. he should consolodate all that stuff, and then clear everything from the region list (preferable delete the audio files completely that aren't used). that should ...
