More then an awesome Pro Tools tutorial, this is a masterclass on how to do a non-bullshit, straight-to-the-point tutorial on a software. These were the exact tools I wanted to start playing around with PTF =D
Thank you! I was unknowingly editing in grid mode, which was super frustrating! What I wanted to do was be able to move/cut my audio freely and in any spot other than the grid locations, and slip editing was what I was looking for!
thank you for this!!! my class assignment is making us use this, and they didn't exactly go through the program properly. thanks for saving my grade :')
The problem with pro tools is the price for the full version. There are other daws that are just as good for much less money. The industry standard argument doesn't apply anymore unless you want a job where they insist that you use it. There are other studios that do not use PT. Of course I understand if someone has been using it for a long time that there is no point switching but if you are starting out, why go with the most expensive daw for no advantage. Just my opinion. I am open to learning otherwise. I use Reaper and can do anything that pt does and more especially the ability to personalize the interface.
hi I was using audacity and liked it. but timing wasn't spot on. so I tried reaper but it's way to complicated for me. pro tools is the next easiest one to use I think. can you recommend any other. easy to you but not expensive to buy?thanks.
Eugene Flanagan Logic Pro, Cubase . You have to get the demos and choose one that you feel good with, but don't start switching from one to the other. All the main daws do all the important things. Read up on them and make sure that the ones you try do the things that you need. Take your time deciding but once you decide, I suggest you stick with it after a month or so. The worst is to become very proficient with a good daw and switch and take another 6 months to learn it and then go back. You want to be good at your career path. The daw will not determine your success . Training your ear and learning to deal with people is much much much more important. A successful professional will succeed no matter which daw they use, because it's their knowledge and talent that counts, not the daw they use.
Eugene Flanagan it's worth taking the time to learn it. Once you get it, it will become easy. The fact that you can set it up any way you want is incredible. You can create your own personalized interface. Reaper is the best. It has features that will blow your mind. I think you want to have a daw to make your music career better. If it's just for fun then it doesn't matter, but if you are into it for your future then you have to invest time instead of always going the easiest way. If you want easy then go with garage band. You can do all the basic stuff and it's free. You know it's like anything in life, when you accomplish something that was difficult, you feel better about yourself. You feel proud because you learned something challenging. There are 2 great reaper channels, reaper mania and reapertv
this video was very informative! im literally walking through my ProTools with you!! But it is rather complicated AF! How am I supposed to rememeber all of this??😂😂
thanks for the video, useful for me whos transferring from fl studio. Im wondering if you are able to insert plugins in pro tools first? I havnt been able to get get my plug ins in. I also do not have the preferences button under set up which everyone else seems to have?
For some reason, when I open the inserts, I cannot see any plu-ins. I even bought an external pack of plug-ins for reverb and I can't figure out how to get it in my Pro Tools First. Would you have an answer for that? As for the rest of the tutorial, very clear and straight to the point. Thank you so much for that!
Can anyone clarify, that only 3 projects can be saved? Does this mean cannot be saved in another location? Is this the catch to being "free"? Thank you in advance.
Great introduction - thanks very much. How do I change the destination for recorded audio? I want to store than on an external harddrive? The should be an option in Create but I can't see it anywhere.
Thank you. No where could I find a Basic Tutorial with clear and detailed instructions on Pro Tools First. Thanks you again. I do have an issue. There is no Template List when I start Pro Tools First. It is all grayed out. Even the Button to select Templates.
Most probably you have not downloaded the templates (when you installed??). Perform a proper search on internet, there is for sure someone that has resolved this problem.
I am looking at buying Pro Tools and was trying to figure out what the difference was between the Standard perpetual license and the Ultimate perpetual license. There's a huge difference in price ($599 vs.$ 1899) and I can't figure out what extras you're getting for that price jump. Thanks. Phil
@@bai I did try and find a list of what plugins you get with Ultimate vs Standard, but so far I did not find such a list, unfortunately. If you know of one that would be great. Have a good day. Thanks. Phil
Hey! It's very informative. But I have one problem. Please help me out. Pro tools is not recognising my audio interface so I'm not able to record, while in other software it does easily. Please, how can I fix this?
Hi there! few days ago i purchased a Mackie profx12v3 bundled with Protool first and waveform 11. Can i use or can i incorporate that mixer with this bundled software? can you teach us how to set up this things? I am new guy for this. Thank you in advance cheers!, Rick
I am new to pro tools. I have loaded pro tools first on a brand new laptop to use with an audio interface. I have not been able to create one session. Each time I try to create a session, it launches the session and then closes 5 seconds later. After searching I cannot find a solution, and there are others who have encountered this same issue. Any suggestions?
@@zandrioberholzer5495 Another thing I just started doing and I like it is researching mixing tips from different DAWs then try to apply them to FL Studio.
See my problem is when I go to press the record button on the track with the beat it says it doesn’t have both input and output assigned but it is... I’m pretty sure
I understand your tutorial because I already know how to use protool. A beginner no way can understand this stuff. It's well done though. I would call it more of a refresher for those who already know.
Pro Tools is the software that the industry has recorded for all of humanity to witness, while they're supposed to be hoping for the rest of eternity, that very few people in the industry can make it past the first 4 options in the "new recording" dialogue without failing to record very much of history at all for us, instead. You must all be seeping private juice during every sample, recording engineers. Good work. Everyone else can be doing whatever else you have to do for your jobs better than you, too, because of that, suckers. Don't worry, RUclips is smart, and makes you make smart guys cut the crap out of your junk, even though it also ends up doing something that makes yours start off slightly worse, but doesn't do that step for the paid commercial video's.
Sir I need a help ..I am not able to sign in to the protools first. Although, there is internet access to the PC, protools is saying "Please connect to the internet before signing in." Please sir, Give me a solution. Is there any setting mistake or any other problems, then please suggest me.
So when I select my playback engine is as ASIO4ALL this shows up- Assertion in "E:\code\238949\ProTools\AAE\Source\AAX\CficAAXWidget.cpp", line 994 I'm not sure what to do and how to proceed. Someone please help me out!
Hi can you help me everythings are ok except there no Sound out i have choose the default output speaker on my PC . When i open the pro tools first it cut the Sound on my PC thaks

Only practice a little!!
So if you can only work on 3 projects then after you are done with 1 can you save it somewhere and start a new one? Confused.

We are afraid you are using the free version. Some of these options such as the plugins are available only under a paid version.
No, if you want to insert plug-ins you have to pay for an upgraded version.
Can you use this with any interface?
What do you mean?
@@bai Audio interface, I believe. and Yes.
Audio Interface? Yes,
Great introduction! Spending 5 seconds showing a few Xpand instruments wouldn't have been a waste tho, IMHO.
Thank you for your feedback! We will consider it in our future guides!

I heard pro tools 1st does not take 3rd party plugins unless if you bought from them of the 3rd party they in business with

Excellent explanation

Can 8 mics be used in PTF for recording drums into PTF?
Yes. Any number of things can be recorded. Some sessions are 100+ tracks.
Can anyone clarify, that only 3 projects can be saved? Does this mean cannot be saved in another location? Is this the catch to being "free"? Thank you in advance.
Yes, exactly what you said!
can you use like a sampler type thing to use drum samples as if they were a synthesizer?
Of course, but this way you won't be able to compose over it.
Hey from Dublin. Fantastic lesson. Thanks so much 🎸
Rock on!
Can you import plugins and sounds from outside sources?
In First you may not.
I'm having problems changing time signatures out of 4/4. Is it possible to set as 7/8 or 3/4 time signatures on pt first?

1:56 quicktime for windows has been long time deprecated. does pro tools need that bad? it feels like i need to install adobe flash player
I am looking at buying Pro Tools and was trying to figure out what the difference was between the Standard perpetual license and the Ultimate perpetual license. There's a huge difference in price ($599 vs.$ 1899) and I can't figure out what extras you're getting for that price jump. Thanks.

The main difference is that the Ultimate version includes several plugins and effects you do not have in the other.
