    Stretching PT across dual display

    As I start to play with my new PTHD 8 on Windows Vista-32, I'm sure I'll be posting questions to those of you here who have had more experience with it. One thing I've found that is rather strange is when I stretch the PT window across dual display, it doesn't seem to save it when I close out...

    Mac and pc question

    yes...FINALLY. My TDM card started failing me last week so that pushed us to upgrade sooner than we planned. But I'm not complaining! The last time I used a newer version of PT was 6.9...that was when I had my 002 a few years back. I haven't even gotten to play much with 7.x let alone 8!! I'm...

    Mac and pc question

    gonna be gettin' my new HD-2 setup tomorrow centered around a PC with Windows Vista-32. Eventually, once Digi says Windows 7 is compatible, I'll upgrade to that. I heard the same complaints about Vista on PC's, but since I'm getting a Core i7 with 6GB of RAM...I'm hoping it's not going to be...

    pt rant

    I don't think he meant anything by it. I think he was just saying that a lot of the posts were just rehashing the same thing. Mess' cool

    pt rant

    this is actually not true. Just because Digi says they aren't supporting older hardware in new software updates...doesn't mean that tech support won't still help you. I've received tech support via phone and e-mail regarding my old Mix system (which we've just paid $11k to upgrade...so I don't...

    pt rant

    I understand your pain...but unfortunately, as you already know, Digi has stopped supporting the 001 for sometime. EVERY company has to abandon old technology at one time or another in order to concentrate on creating new technology. If they continued to support older systems like you and many...

    Recording fireworks

    hahah, wish I could and is normally something I would do for something like a movie, but again...these are for a big national company. I think they will be using it for selling to vendors. They'll know how their fireworks are supposed to sound ;) My guess is it's for their latest line of...

    Recording fireworks

    well, again these are probably going to be consumer fireworks...not the big ones you see at the state fair on 4th of July. Ones you can stand five feet from and watch them blow up.

    Recording fireworks

    thanks Glen. I'll add that to my thoughts. Hopefully we'll be having a pre-production discussion with the client here this week and I can get a better handle on what exactly they're wanting, where we will be shooting, etc.

    Recording fireworks

    I've got a gig coming up to record a bunch of individual consumer fireworks for a national firework company (we're recording both video and audio). The client didn't like how the audio turned out last time from the previous video company (I think they just used the camera mic) Right now I've...

    Reflexion filter to augment recording setup

    there isn't different kinds for different instruments. It's basically just a small, portable, iso booth that helps knock out some of the room sound. You may also take a look at the one from RealTraps: http://realtraps.com/p_pvb.htm They have some demo vids up too

    Triggering and sampling

    there's plugins like SoundReplacer you can buy http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=115&itemid=1059 If I just wanted a down and dirty way to do it, I'd either separate all the kicks at their transients using beat detective and then copy and paste the new kick in it's place....or use the...

    My mic records too low. What to do?

    are you saying that the volume meters in Pro Tools aren't going very high...or that they just SOUND low when played back in comparison to another track (ie. a drum loop or something).

    hooking up a mixer to a digi002!! Help me!

    without knowing the exact model of the mixer...it's hard to say you'll need to first look for tape or direct outs on the mixer. This will allow you pass right from the mic channel straight to tape. If you don't have that...I'd try to see how many sub outs there might be available. If there's...

    second firewire port on digi 003

    you can use the firewire port...but Digi doesn't recommend using it for hard drives.

    Syncing Video and Audio

    easiest way: video tape yourself clapping your hands together in front of the mic. Do this every time you press record. Then when you go to edit the audio, line up the clap transient in the audio file with where you see yourself clap this is how it's been done for years. That's what those...

    Which Way Do You Prefer To Bounce?

    Most people here will recommend that you record at your target sample rate/bit depth. My target sample rate almost all the time is 48kHz....so I choose that. 24 bit will give you the extra dynamic range with very little extra computer processing power or drive space. Also, recording at 48kHz...
