[danson480]

not very in depth with the "how-to" part...but sick beat..bout to cap a mothafucka after hearing that

[VinceOwl]

Can you use a Midi Controller on Pro Tools?

[mgthaking]

to much work just buy logic pro

[Hoodtip101]

hey man, great video, however, i just got my hands on protools 9, and i i just would like to know the easy step by step on which tracks i should create to record my sounds, to opening and setting up and using the metronome, which grid sheet you use, and how to use certain plug ins, that pro tools come with, you should make a video on the step by step process,

[lafucil]

This was so simple, clear, effective and in under 5 minutes. You should make an entire series for all th different DAWS...5/5 video for you old school youtubers!

[ihrtskrlx]

this is VERY cool

totally interesting

i still dont know how the fuck he did any of that though

[MrShakbo]

Sweet dude, you made a concise and easy to use video. I took classes on Pro Tools but forgot a lot of what I learned. This is software you have to stay on top of.

[1Erikthomas]

Thanks bro, this was helpful. Let me know if you have any other video posts on production and beat making with pro tools.

[whitewanksta12345]

[YoungNovaCaneEnt]

[mixmasterbiggame]

can you show me what to do if you want just a plain freestyle beat? with no chorus, bridge, etc, just a repetitive freestyle beat.

[nedelpimp]

[EseWonder]

[nughaga]

[nedelpimp]

[1gr8sk8r]

So many questions....just purchased the mbox 2 and have pro tools 8 loaded on an AMD quad core, 8 gigs of mem, Ederol MA-10 speaker ibanez guitar with a midi GK-2a pickup, Line 6 JAM amp and a GR-30 Midi pedal (midi sounds like piano, drums etc.) My question. What is the next essential equipment to have? Keyboard? MIC, Dont want to break the bank though...I am a guitar player. consequently lesson are non existant in the area.

[joe0404]

this is a cool video, but hows come you dont use midi? its much easier to work with than audio from your keyboard...you can record midi and edit it for perfect timing...

[8bloc]

@joe0404 Hey hey.....he's a student....give him a moment...he'll figure it out like we all did....no? I was advised for a couple years to go midi.....but not knowing how to make it work made me think I didn't like it....LOL....

[joe0404]

@8bloc Ehhh, but once you get the hang of it..its amazing... As long as you are using decent virtual instruments on instrument tracks you'll be set!

[quadj69]

Thats pretty good man. I just got pro tools the other day, and just have a midi controller with no sounds built in. You know if I can use the drums in pro tools to create my own drum loops and what not? I'm goin crazy tryin to figure this program out... Appreciate the help man. Good instructional video btw...

[joe0404]

@quadj69 midi controllers dont have built in sounds, they send data to pro tools, which a virtual instrument receives...then the virtual instrument plays the sounds. Open up pro tools, command+shift+N to get the new track dialogue, pick a stereo instrument track...insert xPand2 on that instrument track...now if your midi controllers plugged in, you should get some sounds...cycle through the presets for hundreds of sounds...good luck and message me if you need any help
