Hi people, The MIDI connection from my Digital Piano (Yamaha P45) and the audio input from my Synth (Roland SH201) seem to be having some sort of conflict in ProTools. I can record audio from the Synth fine at first. But as soon as I connect the Digital Piano via MIDI (USB), it seems to...

Hello all, Not sure if I can explain this correctly.... I have a pretty good mix going, but one instrument, a piano that plays the melody, sounds way to "close up". Since it's the melody, it needs to stand out, but how do I make it sound further back? Almost like I want to step about 10ft...

Hi Steenamaro, I'm really interested in how you mentioned about "eliminating the urge to mix with unnecessary plugs on the master bus". Does that mean that most of the effects are done when mastering? Still trying to figure this all out (and yes, my next stop is going to be the mastering...

Thanks guys for the info. I don't really have a format preference or need, so I guess DDP 2.0 would work, and I just need to make a wav or mp3 file. Besides ProTools, any recommendations on good software for mastering? I'd be willing to spend some money for something good, and user friendly...

Hi, I'm a little confused. Although I have ProTools 12, people are telling me that I should mix in ProTools, but do my Mastering with different software. Now if this is true, I have TONS of questions, but maybe I can get started with..... what software should I use to for Mastering after I've...

Thank you, again, Steenamaroo! I actually did have the 003 driver installed. I just wasn't setting the playback engine to the "AVID 003". I was choosing ProTools Aggregate instead. side note: I was confused because I could hear playback when selecting ProTools Aggregate (coming out of my...

Hi! I seem to be having trouble getting audio input (my guitar, voice, synth) from my 003 rack into my Mac (Version 10.11.1, El Capitan operating system). I believe everything else is working properly and have narrowed it down to this. So, any thoughts? It worked perfectly in the past...

Hi again, Steenamaroo, you were right about iMovie. El Capitan came with an update to iMovie, and not only does it work now, iMovie 2015 is way better than the previous version. Because of this, I'm now hooked on El Capitan. So now I'm planning to upgrade my ProTools LE 8.0.5 (with my 003...

Steenamaroo, Change in plans. I'm going to dump El Capitan, and revert back to Yosemite. I discovered that iMovie is not working well with El Capitan (which I will henceforth refer to as El CRAPitan). Jeez, the two programs that I work most with, ProTools and iMovie, both affected by this...

Hi Steenamaroo, Thanks for the follow up. Ever since upgrading my Mac to "El Capitan" from Yosemite, I haven't been able to open ProTools 8 at all, so I've been unable to resolve the tempo issue I posted earlier. So that's on hold until I get ProTools working again. The interface I'm using...

Sounds like upgrading will help my interface issue. I was worried that ProTools 8 was getting a bit outdated. Thanks again Steenamaroo.

Hi! I'm about to upgrade from ProTools 8.0.5 to the latest version, ProTools 12 it sounds like. Is this a good idea? Long story, but I updated my Mac with the new El Capitan (from Yosimite) and now my ProTools 8 no longer works. Now it's "imcompatible" based on the following plugins...

Hi! I'm trying to automate the tempo change in ProTools (a gradual ritard, the back up to faster tempo). Screen shot is attached. It did actually the exact opposite of what I was trying to do!! I drew the tempo line going down, but when I play back, it goes faster and faster at that part...

quick and easy. Thanks Schwarz!

Hello all, How to I change the time signature in the middle of a song? For example, I'm working on a song that starts in common time (4/4), then changes to 6/4. Not sure how to do this, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
