You know I've always heard mixed reviews on upgrading with a PPC, so I just don't. Doesn't really matter to me either way. The rig runs great and my work flow is ingrained into me. I actually really like PT7.4. I have 8 in studio B and I'm not as fast on it. With HD5 with PCI-X cards to move to Intel is a massive investment that doesn't interest me, maybe one day.
James......thank you so much for sharing this! I was wondering if you could tell me (us) how your getting your SNRVerb.....that big 80's ballad gated snare. I'm always struggling with that! Peace my friend and thank you again!
That REF Idea it's just Killer!...all as an alternative Playlist!...Genius!...Thanks for sharing!...By the Way..How Many Db's are you slaming the Parallel Drums, the Parallel Bass and the 2 buss??...Thanks again...and Greetings From Chile!!!
Not really anymore. You can find Mac Pro's for 400-800 that would roll over the old PCI machines. Get that and and a PCI-X chassis and you're set....under 2k. Plus with that machine, you're stuck at PT8
thanks for answering! do you use d/a converters? how do you mix in the console and then go back to pt again? i mean the patching. sorry for all the questions!
ContraStudio88 That's where you can have the actual audio located somewhere else. So we use a reference track, it's in a folder on out system drive and has 25 songs in it, the songs are on a playlist on one single stereo track. When we import that using session data we select for it to Link to Source Media and not Copy to Source Media. So the track pops up in 5 seconds and all the songs are there, but they are being read off the folder in the system drive, they never get imported. Makes it quick and keeps the song folder smaller cuz you're not importing all these hi res songs. The only thing is if you rename, move or trash the folder in the system drive with the reference songs, you will get a missing audio prompt int he sing session and no audio files.

Man that would suck having to set all those one by one at 5:21 on your import template
So why do you always start with Save As?
hi james, can i ask you something? do you do the mix inside pro tools or outside in the analog console? which one you think gives better results?
Martin Schneider I think guys get good results with both, I personally like summing outside of PT.
thanks for answering! do you use d/a converters? how do you mix in the console and then go back to pt again? i mean the patching. sorry for all the questions!
Martin Schneider Yes Apogee Symphonys and I go back into PT via Burl B2.
4:46 XD what is that ? classic is what
DENVER!
dumb question, whats Link source Media? Can you explain it for a full blown fool as myself?
