    Great video! Not sure if this has been mentioned, but...if you name your first take tracks with .01 on the end, then each successive Playlist will automatically be numbered with .02, .03, etc. Doing this means that each playlist's number is equal to the take number(right now, your Playlist numbers are one off from the take). I also name my "comp" Playlists with .comp on the end of each Playlist name(such as Kick in.comp, or Snare.comp).

    • @bradzillarocks

      I do something similar since I hate seeing the number at the end. After creating the track I just name it and then create a new playlist for the first take and it'll automatically name it with .01, and then I use the original playlist with only the instrument name to comp to.

      This is truly the dumbest thing ever. Pro Tools should be able to recognize which is the first playlist by the time stamp, and then just append the name with the playlist number like Cubase does. If you forget to put your .01 on there, you mess things up so bad….

    Thank you Nick and Sweetwater!
    I didn’t know about playlists or the cross fade option at the bottom of the clips (I knew about the top fade in and out option).
    Playlists would be great for comping drum tracks and probably just as good for vocal comps.

    Then, select the length of the entire track (all the way from bar 1 beat 1 until the end of the last fade) and select all of the drum tracks then hit shift command 3 to consolidate all of the tracks to one take. I recommend making a copy of the comp take first.

    How do you use these new VF Bluetooth headphones for tracking? Wouldn’t there be some latency? Can they work for overdubs and live tracking?

    Is there a shortcut for the, "arrow up" button to send an edit to the comp track?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  2 года назад

      Hi, Dave. Great question! Pro Tools has a shortcut for just about every action. From the Pro Tools manual, the shortcut for that Playlist Arrow is this: "Press Option+Control+V (Mac) or Alt+Start+V (Windows) to copy the selection to the target playlist". If you are ever trying to find a shortcut, the Pro Tools manual is pretty good about showing the shortcuts next to the relevant topic, so it is always worth a look! If you have any more questions, just give me a ring, I would love to help out!

    Do not quantize drums. That’s all I ask. You might as well program them.

    • @GearLover

      I think that really depends on the type of music you are creating and what the end goal of the project is.

    • @Burnt_Gerbil
      @Burnt_Gerbil 2 года назад +2

      @@GearLover - Disagree. Electronic music or hip hop, fine. You can do a standard 808 sequencer. Rock and roll is totally different. The tempo does not have to be accurate or snapped to the grid. Humans naturally ebb and flow with rhythm. Keep that element in the performance.

      So recording a sloppy performance, quantizing, and copy paste is a bad idea? What a concept.

      Comping isn’t all about fixing sloppy playing, it can be about composition and tweaking nuances in good performances. Useful tool if you get past the arrogance of perfection in performance.
