Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I also just want to say that I hate "dark mode" and turn that off first thing (then it's good unless I'm asked by Avid support to clear prefs - which is the first thing they ask you to do whether it is relevant or not). Also, probably because I'm using track coloring (which I'm guessing maybe you h...

Re: Channel Strip Plugins

Another really good one if you have an Apollo is the UAD Century Tube channel strip. It has a mic pre, a subtle EQ and an opto compressor. I've been using that lately at home for vocals and acoustic instruments. That opto strip is really good, I’ve used that for some thin vocals and it’s nice. That...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I really need to lose the buss numbers and go into the I/O set up and just give the buss routing "names" so it's easier to organize.

Screen grab..

Drum Buss, then Drum Parallel buss, then Drum Distortion buss, then ambience and reverb returns. All are AUX tracks.

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

I love logic and it's definitely better at some things for sure, but the buss situation ain't one of them. I finally built myself a nice mixing template to use as a starting point and that was when I really figured out how like you just can't do certain things once you've committed. Hey on that, I ...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I don't know if plugins count as "new gear" but I gotta say that the Kazrog True Iron and True Dynamics plugs are fucking tasty. I've still not messed with "HEAT" but i've been throwing True Iron on individual tracks as well as busses, and really like the subtleness. I've also been stacking instanc...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

Yeah, I don't do subscription anything, so I am not sure if I'll end up doping a perpetual license or what. What is the cost of the support thing for a year? Honestly, other than some just plain stupid stuff, like not being able to arrow up and down between tracks and having to create a group every...

Re: Duane Eddy, RIP

Damn. Definitely was an influence on me to pick up a guitar, and that was in the late 80's!

so if you had a collection of these, and the world was ending I suppose you could chew on these for awhile?

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

So I dove into the monthly subscription for now and I am really digging it. The playlist comping is unbelievably easy, especially for drums. Anyway to your post I went through all the Avid plugins and found a few that were pretty great. The Mooger Fooger, Real Tape effects, the Studio Reverb actual...

Re: Mono Auratone - who knew??

I had a pair of the Avantone "auratones" and just couldn't get them to work for me. I do much better using my old boombox with a line in for "real world" or "crappy speaker" test. I"m sure they could have been "broken in" more, for they just seemed "stiff" and shitty. A single mono one makes more se...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

Back to "Freeze" and "Commit": 1. I use Commit A LOT for when I've used Auto Align 2 to fix drum phase - I want to use a lot more plug-in on these tracks after and the Delay Compensation can get overloaded. 2. I will use PT's Multiband Splitter feeding 4 Aux tracks, Commit (must be done in real tim...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"

that site that I put a link to earlier in this thread has an email they send out maybe every week (or two?). It's not spammy, and while I'm not really looking for training (or at least not to pay for it :lol: ), they often have a short, free video (or blog) on new features. I don't always read the ...
