Pro Tools - Tips & General Discussion

If anyone needs any tips for 'tools I can try and help out, although hopefully theres some bigger guns than me because I don't know that much. Sticky?

ill sticky it if it gets some responses but i dont think anyone uses pro tools that much on here.

Yeah, I think PT is the kind of thing where you're only going to run it if you already know how to use it.

True. I find it works pretty well on the mastering side of things though.

Its a fair outlay for mastering tho, still would like to see it working one day...

It's really more practical for recording live music though. I wouldn't mind having a go at recording a live dnb band on it.

Mastering doesn't really have anything to do with the DAW though.


You're bang on the money there, ProTools absolutely rocks for tracking and audio-related stuff. 

Yeah, something like live really isn't practical for a full band recording. Especially if you're overdubbing etc. I'm also really not a fan of stuff like cubase and sonar when compared to pro tools

I actually prefer SX over ProTools

That's probably because I don't use a lot of audio though, it's pretty much all MIDI and VST's, even samples I tend to load in to Kontakt or Battery. If I was to track a band then I would definately want to be running a PT rig, but as for everything else I heart my Cubase!

I should mention I have both here, SX3 on this computer and another box in another room with a 002. I still use SX3 99% of the time.

I spose im the same a bit, I have cubase here as well as pro tools le with an mbox 2, but seeing as I use pro tools at uni I have no idea about cubase. I didn't like Pro Tools at first, as I was a logic pro guy before that, but I don't have a mac at home so theres no point of using logic
