this shit rocks

[vbluez]

@PHUCMESLOW hah.. thanks!

[LilJokeDeToned515]

Hey man, I have pro tools SE, and I cant upload any beats to it. Do you know how?

[vbluez]

@LilJokeDeToned515 From the File menu, select Import -> Audio. Try going from there. When the dialog asks if you want to import it as a region or a new track, select "New Track" and hit OK. Hope this helps!

my pro tools looks nothing like this. iv looked at all vids on youtube and everyones pro tools is different from mine. im gettin reallly pissed off that i spent 100$ on this when it wont even let me record vocals

[vbluez]

@KushSmokeProductions What version of Pro Tools do you have?

[nfarnham2008]

Hello, I use Pro Tools SE. I have my thing setup and my mic plugged in, I can hear myself, but when I hit record, nothing happens, the bar thingy doesn't move (time) so what is wrong?

[vbluez]

@nfarnham2008 After you hit record, hit the play button. Hope this helps!

[nfarnham2008]

@vbluez Yeah i got it lol, I felt so stupid. You know of any tutorials or helpers? I am a noob to pro tools se, and want to make the most of my recording vocals.

[ThePoetOflove7]

So does this apply to,if I just want to use vocals over already made beats? I have the instrumentals I want.I just need to know how to add the track to Pro Tools and record over the instrumentals.With my vocals.

[vbluez]

@ThePoetOflove7 This will work, just import your beat, and follow the directions in the video.

[SquadRecords]

Change the out put on the track to the input of your mic i.e input 1-2 to output 1-2

[JonasWsm09]

i purchased pro tools mpowered everything is right installed, got them m-audio buffers..and on the mixer and edit window when da mic is on i can see it workin but no sound comes out of the speakers! anyhelp? thnkx

[vbluez]

Dont forget, when you are in mix down, you might want to go back into Playback Engine settings and raise the latency / buffer time to around 1024 or 2048 for additional horsepower ;)

[BlackMalukuFlames]

thank you sir!!!!!

[BlackMalukuFlames]

Hi there just subscribed to your channel...anyway

If i want to record vocals & guitar........i hear echo in my headphones....like a after delay in my headphones!!! its very annoing i just can'tfigure it out!!! could you help me please??? So if i hit a chord or sing something there is a bit of delay...the sound comes later 'bout 1 sec later COULD YOU HEEEEEELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

[vbluez]

If you go to Setup -> Playback Engine and lower your playback engine latency to around 128, you should be good. Play with that setting a little bit and try to record. The higher the number, the more latency you will occur when monitoring live audio from your LE interface. Hope this helps!

[ShaySmiiley]

you might to sound proff your room so extra sounds wont come in

[energydrain]

lol once u created the new tracks, this is the screen u'll have up..yep...but only if the program likes u enough to put it up
