Thank you again. For a sentimental moment, you have created legacy for those that follow. There are less than a dozen who have a wide scope and have stuck it out past a dozen videos, and you are one of them. Thank you.
2 mins in and I already got what I was looking for. Such a relief, I was going nuts. Thanks a lot !
Thanks ever so much Joel!
He's a witch!!! Thank you. You just saved my recording partner $1000 on an external board for fader rides and automation. I told him we could do it in the box. Now I have to translate all this PT knowledge to Reaper for another project.
PS - got the rough mixes from the band we are mixing and there were 17,023 automation points from the band member using the mix window fader to adjust volume!
Thank you so much Warren. With my class included, you were the only person who explained basic automation in the way I needed and now I can feel more confident in using it. You are an awesome teacher! Same as with your weekly feeds. Please don't change! Rock On! ~D
Thank you Warren. I can't believe how much quality content you are producing at the quantity you are producing it at!
Hi Garrett Sale Wow! Thank you I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks for teaching so freely.
I've now got "while you were workin' on your prayers" permanently etched into my brain for the the rest of eternity!
Mike Davey. Well done Warren your a star!.I may not be doing -Marvellously well yet! but the improvement is exponentially upwards
I always learn a lot from your videos
Brilliantly helpful and well executed tutorial video's. Thank god for this channel! Much appreciation for the time you put into these.
6 minutes into the video and you have earned my respect. Fruitful. You touch on things simply and efficiently! s/o.
I had to plug into my live console to record today because I needed the 20db pads. It saved me a ton of time miking the guitar amp, because I could play with the basic eq it had, and will hopefully save me time in the mix. And the older, analog sound was perfect for what I wanted.
Hi Jacob Toohey fantastic!! That sounds great! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Dude! Thank you! Working on the automation with the line "Prayers" I've always wondered how you can take a vocal track and add extra reverb or delay on a certain section/moment. Previously I thought you had to duplicate that section and just make it work. To me this is the in depth Pro Tools mixing I want/like! I've watched many hours of you on RUclips. This is definitely an "ah ha!" moment. Can't wait to try this out! Everyone shows the basics, but it's the more intricate things like this that I love to see! Basics are easy (in there own right), but loved that tip. My mind is exploding with ideas now.. :-) :-) Thanks :-)
OMG! I want this record! I’ve got to find it and have it! LLLOVE that sound!
Thank you for this great video series.
Wow, Warren, you're a great teacher. Cool track, by the way!
Thanks!
Thanks ever so much Alex!!
YES!!! NEW VIDEO!!!
Absolutely loving this channel, you've single handedly given me the confidence that all this is entirely a possible thing to learn. Before It just seemed far too daunting, something for other people who studied it in college. Very excited to start building a studio, these videos will become like the gospel for referring back to. Thank you so much for putting your time into this channel, it's so well made!
Phil,
Ireland
Hi ThisLittleShow wow thanks!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Where about in Ireland are you from? Good luck with your studio! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Dublin City Center, there'll be a free pint for you next time your here, haha, Cheers!
Hi ThisLittleShow I love Dublin! Beautiful City! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thank a lot , Warren
Great video as always! I wish you would have touched on some of the other "shapes" you can draw (sine, random,...) with the pencil tool, which might speed things up for many people, but I understand this is a video on basic automation and it's hard to go in depth without confusing some. Please keep those videos coming, I've come to anticipate them even more than Pensado's Place! All the best!

Hi Warren! Your work is simply amazing! Could you post videos about how can we edit guitars,bass and acoustic guitars. I would be grateful! Thank you!
Hi Marcelo Santiago Gonçalves perfect!! Just did a basic Pro Tools editing video! Will be up very soon! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks warren
Hi warrent, thank you very much for the tutorials all the way from Panama City, Panama Central America. Small question here, what is the difference between level and level trim in the automation for the plate? Thanks!!!
As usual, a thorough and helpful video. Thanks for thinking of these video's from a perspective a 'hobbyist' can relate to and apply. Quick question. I'm going on a holiday and won't have a guitar or internet. Books! Can you recommend a few books you would consider important to read, whether they be biographies or manuals on recording, mixing, or the music industry in general. Thanks for your time and effort.
Hi DistortionBlues 44 Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! That's a great question, I have seen a few people answer that with many different books. I personally like to read Producer/Engineer Biographies, I love the Phil Ramone book and the Geoff Emerick, both are great! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hello dear Warren!! Thanx again!!! If it's possible, let us know how you use latch, write, read, etc!! Thank you again!!!
Hi Luiz Ronconi absolutely! I will be doing an 'Advanced' Pro Tools automation later, this one was part of my 'How To Record' series which I'm aiming to help beginners. Please feel free to ask me any questions, I'm always happy to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great video Warren... I was Wondering when are you going to do a video about all those great converters you have and
the reason of why you have so many different ones and what they each give you One vs the other
Hi lbsmoothmusic Thanks very much for your great question I really appreciate it! I am doing videos on different convertors, watch out for them! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi ***** absolutely! If there's anything else you need to know please ask away! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi ***** you're welcome! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
As per usual thank you!! Do you have any tutorials for latch automation?
Hi Jane, no not yet! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks for the great videos warren, What's the key command for the highlight tool that you use a lot to the left of three tools?
Hi Tim Nienhuis Thanks very much for your great question I really appreciate it! I think you may be talking about the zoom tool to the left? I double click on that as a quick way to get back to the full screen view. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
hi warren have a real weird question. whats the difference between volume and volume trim automation?I've really stucked into this for a while.
At 18:51, which key command did you use to automate two tracks at once?
While you were working on your prayers
Can someone tell me what is the chord played by the guitar at the beginning? Thank you in advance!
Great vid as usual Warren. Do you have any suggestions for an affordable hardware full/half rack compressor just to run a mix through and to experiment with bounces. I was thinking JOEMEEK C2. What do you think?
Hi ***** Thanks very much for your great question I really appreciate it! Honestly I would stick to plug ins unless you spend a lot on a hardware compressor for your mix bus. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks Warren
Hi ***** thank you! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Fabulous series! as usual! You're the man Warren! I DO like your channel and now I've been watching it from the first vid! Very educational!
I've got some question:
I've subscribed to your email list on your site and youtube channel about a month ago, but where can I find all great "extra" stuff ("secret" vimeo account with extended versions of drum/piano recording videos, files for drum editing, drum samples, etc)?
All I receive via mail from "producelikeapro" are notifications about new video, on the site itself there are just subscription form, social media, and list of videos.. Please can you help me with that?
Many Thanks,
Phil.
PS - I've noticed pictures on your studio walls - are you a fan of airplanes?
Hi deathblowhere yes I LOVE Planes! My studio is called Spitfire Studio! I really appreciate your support! Please email connor@spitfiremusic.net and he can double check everything and make sure you have all the current emails! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Yes! Me too, Airplanes and spacecrafts are my passion, besides of music of course)
Spitfire of British air force - great vehicle!
Thank you ever so much for your support! It's actually awesome to see you answer almost every comment here on youtube - I appreciate this much!
Rock on!
Hi deathblowhere thanks very much! Of course it's not a community unless we all engage! I love planes and of course spacecraft! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Warren...first of all...thanks for all this...there is so much...I've been doing this for years as well...but am constantly looking for new/different ways of doing things...!...I run PT 11.3.1...I call this the "off the shelf" version as it isn't HD...(I'm looking for an HD license because of all the cool things it does over the off the shelf version)...!
My question is "what are all the other lines displayed in each track aside from the black one your working with...(gold...blue)...?
Thanks...David
HI +Dave Smith Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! I'm sorry I'm not entirely sure what the question is? Do you mean when I go to the view which displays Volume, pan, mute etc? Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro Yes Warren...the displays that show the automation...sorry I wasn't clear...!
Hi +Dave Smith Not a problem at all! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, I'm kinda getting started in producing again. I'm starting using pre recorded sounds and instruments, nothing live yet. Besides Pro Tools, what other DAWs would you recommend? Is any of the following good and which is best, or do you know of a better one than these? (Garageband, Logic, Reason, Fruit Loops)
Hi John Gabriel Figueroa I use Logic for Keys and Programming, it's great, the sounds come up ready to use! I use Garageband for quick easy demos on my lap top, really easy to use as well and I use Pro Tools for recording Vocals, Guitars, Drums etc, editing Audio and Mixing. I haven't used Reason for few years, a lot of the guys I work with love Ableton for building tracks and there are a lot of users who love Studio One, which I hear is amazing value for money! I hope that helps! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Honestly I respect you as a producer, always very professional but mostly patient with the many people that must write to you every day. I want to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to reply to me, a person you've never met before, as if we were neighbors. The info you gave me is more than satisfying you always going the extra step to help us out as best as possible. I always say that good help is hard to find, but thanks to your videos I feel like I have my own private school at home. Thank you Warren for your help...and I will keep looking forward to everything you post. Happy recording to you sir! 🎶
Wow John Gabriel Figueroa!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Yes I love being able to what I love for a living, I am truly blessed!! I hope that I can contribute in a small way and help our wonderful musical community! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Do u ever copy and paste entire chorus’ instead of recording them again? If so would you use relative grid or grid?
Typically I record everything fresh. However for demos and Jingles etc I will cheat! I use positive grid if it’s cut to the grid or relative if it’s not super tight and breaths
@@Producelikeapro ur replies are much appreciated! Thanks a ton
You where moving fast what's t h e sh I r cut command to copy your automation for panning and adding etc to different wave for great video
Hi producer_fuji Thanks for the great question! I highlighted the region I wanted to copy, hit 'C' and then pasted with 'V' or for multiple pastes I will do option 'R' and put in how many times I want it to repeat. I hope that helps? Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Is this Billy sheehan? I'm pretty sure I have this album
Hi +Lee Thomas It is Billy Sheehan! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
