Using Track Groups to Mix in Pro Tools

[theinfernalhess]

He's right in the pocket. If you will notice, he isn't exceeding his avail. headroom. (usually with most digi gear you have about 4 db of headroom.) agreed though, if he is going to send the track to master software he should eliminate all headroom presence.

[adamskio123]

the clip indicator is lit before he plays any audio... And if he's showing you level changes (esp. visually) it's bound to peak at some point... get over it!

[biggaflex2gs]

dude why you show us a track that peaking on the master track???? cmon put each track at 9.2

[Trapz47]

does pro tools work with the MPK 49 MIDI??

[cmead626]

Yes

[GI0PRODUCTIONS]

yes it does

[Stundek]

Ok, I'm gonna sound like a prick here....

But someone assign a group to his Master Fader!!!! :-P

[44danoc]

Stundek, no you can't assign a group on the master or the master fader to a group. Why would one want to anyway? it's the master fader you want total control of that master fader. Peace

That's Jeff Baust, crazy pro tools, SSL and Logic Pro guru. If you have a chance, study under him.

[Musiccalculater]

hmm........i dosent look anything like my LE setup.

[44danoc]

I have the Le setup and it works on mines. I have 7.4, have you tried it?

[thebasswithin56]

wo confusion all i know is push button, pull button and different noises come out. i might not even be right then=)

[Captnuendo]

what version of protools is that!!! that is great grouping!!!!

[raiphdude7]

Hey all you know it alls, shut up and take a lesson

[SYSDmg]

Pro Tools cherries are meaningless. You're not peaking out you still have like 20 db of headroom.

[Captnuendo]

Umm... how loud is too loud?....thats rhetorical.... you want a small amount of headroom for mastering

[44danoc]

^5 Exactly you are 100% right! I don't know some of these guys really don't know protools nor know what they are doing.

[eighttracks]

He probally clipped it once when showing us the group and it stays on if its on inf in the clip settings

[kastout]

whats up with that clip on the master! i thought that was a no no!!!

[Jurt]

It is a no no, in protools the little red part stays lit if it clips once, you have to click it to make it disappear.

[44danoc]

Not exactly you can set the red clip to 1.infinity, this lets the red clip stay forever up. 2. you can set it for 3seconds, where when the red clip hit it will stay for 3seconds and disappear, then 3. you can set it up where it will only hit in the red and disappear just as fast and the level bar leaves. Infinity you would have to click it with the mouse. I use the 3second motion.

[Captnuendo]

he is demonstrating.. this is not about clipping...recording..masterin­g...its about flexible routing capabilities in protools.. if you already know about clipping and headroom you  would not be asking such a question. by the way he was raising the volume considerably. dont mean to sound like a dick.. :P

[expressmusic]

good..
