    New Playlist For Multiple Tracks?

    I want to create a new playlist for all tracks of a drum kit. Is there a way to do that for all tracks simultaneously, or can it only be done one track at a time? AND if it can be done, please tell me how to do that! Thanks! (PT9)

    Price Cut Heads-Up

    Sweetwater (among others, perhaps) cut the price on the 003 Factory by an additional $545 (!) from what's in their Spring 2011 catalog. Which means if you bought one recently from Sweetwater, you probably paid a lot more than the new price for what is now essentially a blowout/clearance item for...

    Using gates with drums?

    I mic'd up my drum kit, and I'm getting a lot of bleed that I'd like to tame by using gates on the mics. If the plug-ins are post-fader, how.... How does this work? :confused: What to do, and some help with the "how-to", please? Any suggestions for which plug-ins to use and how to set them? I...

    Recording A Stereo Instrument Track

    I set up "Strike", a stereo instrument plug-in. I can enable record on that stereo track, but when I hit "play", the drums stop playing. I have been able to record these fake drums a few different ways; by routing the Strike channel to a separate audio track (or individual audio tracks for...

    Is there a downside to consolidating a track?

    I recorded some guitar and vocal tracks for a friend yesterday. He wanted me to email the .wav files to him, so, for expedience in working with the files, I consolidated the vocal tracks, which had the largest 'gaps' between regions. Is there a downside to this, perhaps adding unwanted...

    Please help with some "How-To" punch in!

    I'm a PT rookie, learning how to do a punch-in using PT9. I can get the track to record where I want to do the punch, but I cannot hear the track to be punched playing back while I'm doing the punch-in. Once I enable record on that track (or any track, for that matter), I can't hear any playback...

    Hisssssssssssssssssssssss

    Using PT9, I recorded two acoustic guitar tracks DI. Both tracks were done using a 6-year old Taylor 612ce with the older Expression System. I wasn't really concerned about the tone because I'm just using the tracks as science projects to learn how to edit and work with plug-ins. What can I...

    Can't Latch Record Enable Buttons?

    I have the "latch record enable buttons" checked off under settings> preferences> operations, but I still can't latch the record buttons. I can only record one track at a time. Any ideas why that might be? I have about 2 days-worth of working with Pro Tools; I pretty much don't have a clue...

    PT9 virtual drums?

    Are they easy to work with? I know this is subjective, but do they sound good to you?

    A computer, an interface, and some recording software walk into a bar together....

    (....hopefully someday I'll have a punchline to that joke, and not actually BE the punchline myself....hopefully....) Hello, my name is Bob, and this is my story.... I've been recording with a Roland VS-1880 for about 10 years, and I'd like to modernize my set-up a little bit by making the...
