So I just started using Pro Tools HD 6.9.1.
I set everything up.
I recorded a track.
I played it back.
Now I wanted to try to do simple edits like fades, silence, gain reduction.
I can highlight a section of the audio file and go to Edit, Silence and it works fine.
But if I highlight a section of the audio file and then click Edit, Fades, everything is greyed out.
Then someone told me to separate a region.
I highlighted an audio section and selected create region and also separate region and both seemed to then allow me to select Create Fade.
So that kinda works for me now.
But I am now stuck on applying any type of feature from the Audiosuite menu.
I want to reduce gain on a section so I highlight it, go to Audiosuite, Other, Gain and I can reduce the gain -20 and hit process and it goes through but does nothing to the wave or sound.
Same thing if I go to Audiosuite and select any type of effect.
I hit process and it does nothing.
In any program I have ever used, you simply use the grab tool or the highlight tool and click on the audio and apply the effect or gain or fade and it goes through no problem.
Theres no need to create a region or separate a region.
A buddy at work has Pro Tools LE 7 and used 6.9 and said he never had to mess with regions, he just selected the audio and chose the effect and thats it.
Just like Nuendo or Cubase would.
Any ideas?
