    Help! Problem with Pro Tools, keeps creating "glitch" sounds

    I've been having this issue recently and I'm kind of at a loss for how to resolve it. When I track, I get these intermittent glitch sounds recorded over my material in real time. They are printed to the tracks so I know it's more than a playback issue. Maybe something with my clock? Not sure...

    Cable Storage/Organization Method?

    So, the live venue at my college campus is being renovated and I'm looking for a new XLR cable storage/organization method besides piling them all into a bin. Or maybe that's just it.

    Using Inserts as Direct Outs for Recording?

    I'm doing sound for a live show tomorrow night and I was hoping to try using the inserts on the board as direct outs to send to my M-Audio FW1814. The board is a relatively recent Mackie (not sure the model). Are this inserts going to be pre-preamp or post pre? How about pre/post fader? Thanks!

    Shortcuts not working...?

    I use the Pro Tools LE system at one of our schools labs and on occasion I find that the normal shortcuts that I use (T for zoom in, R for zoom out, b for break, etc.) don't do anything. Is there something I need to enable to make sure these always work? Thanks!

    Heavy Rock Instrumental

    This is my first shot at mixing something that I recorded. I am a HARDCORE noob when it comes to mixing so please make your comments constructive (telling me that the lowend sucks doesn't do much for me, telling me do boost x hz or bring up the kick does). I'm not satisfied with the mix but I'm...
