This is gold- More stuff like this! Love all the efficiency talk, commonly used shortcuts and such.
Didn't even know this level of editing/automating was possible.. INSPIRED!!
same here awesome info
So kind of you to say!
Dude you're missing the Texas BBQ supper in 10 minutes!!
Ha just noticed this years later!
Thank you, Brad. I hope there will be more videos from you in the future
Best automation tutorial! I loved it! Pure Gold!
You mentioned using R and T to zoom in and out. I'm constantly zooming in and out, and I use Opt + MouseWheel which works great for me. Having to click R.R.R or T.T.T seems kind of tedious in comparison.
A similar thing with increasing or decreasing wave height. You showed how you have mouse button software to make your mouse buttons do this function. For me, I use Opt+Shift + MouseWheel to increase or decrease wave height. It's super easy considering where my hands usually are. Also, important to note, that to return wave height to defaults is Command+Option+Control+[ (power claw + left bracket).
Overall, really great info in this video! Thanks!
absolutely right about that. I kinda feel like I have more control over the amount of zoom wen I use the keys but that might just be making excuses to not integrate this method into my workflow.
This is honestly the single most useful post tips video I've seen, I keep coming back to it. Thanks Brad!
New to pro tools, came to learn about automation left with that knowledge and 300+ new commands I didn't know 🤣🤣
That shift solo shortcut is awesome.
Just upgraded to Ultimate, and it's been quite some time when I last used it. Wwwwery helpful recap. Cheers!
This was so helpful, I've been looking everywhere for this exact tutorial! Thank you, Brad!
Thanks! Thinkin' on what to add to an update.
Nice vid here, Brad. Excellent tutorial... Thank you for posting!
Thanks for this great video and tips.
Thank you for doing this! This was very helpful!
Super helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Brad, thx for sharing these tips!
Quick tip for maximizing and minimizing waveforms in clips is to press ctrl+shift and then use the mouse wheel. Works even a bit faster than the way he showed it with the custom mouse buttons.
awesome brad thank for the information I just record audio but I'm always learning thank you very much
Thank you for many useful tips
0:57 I heard once from a guy who works for bigger projects here in Germany who programmed a "sort of" auto-click for that Warning-Window Pop Up everytime unless the Warning contains the word "Session". So there will be 1) no chance that he accidentally writes an automation to his whole session and 2) the auto-clicker clicks the "Ok" button on the pop up window if he just wants to write to his selection. Pretty dope imo but I dunno if he ever made it available for download or so
Very helpful stuff, thanks a lot!
Great video. Quick and super useful. Thanks
Great tutorial. Thank you Sir!
you're the best! Thanks!
Excellent video
Great useful video!
Brad, I truly appreciate it, the knowledge you have given me in this tutorial is immense and and awesome, thanks so much. Your creativity has truly inspired me. It is a great help for me. Where do I get the 3rd-party apps you have used in this tutorial?
it was great learning for you
thank u. Great video. Very good advices
Thank you so much for this!!!!
Excellent video! Liked and subscribed! :)
Thank you!
Great stuff, Brad. Thanks for the tips. One thing I would add, instead of using mouse quick keys for waveform size, I like to hold [Alt]+[Shift] and use the scroll wheel. I'm not sure what that would be on Mac, but this is what I use for PC.
This works on mac as well and it might be the mouse that I use but it always feels imprecise when I do it that way. That might be something that I just need to knuckle down on till I can integrate that.
Thank you so much, this is amazing.
Great video Brad. Do you think, you could make a video about Disk Allocation please? I know guys in postproduction like to keep stems on separate locations, especially when working with large track counts. Any tips on that subject would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,helpful for me!
I’ve been looking for so many tutorials on protools about dialogue and mixing for film. Thank you Pro Sound Effects for all the videos you provide. I have a question which version of protools was he using
It was great . thank you
this is brilliant!! Speaking of trim automation - if you would want to coalesce a set of automation levels that are just right (relatively to each other, in my case main track volume + 3 reverb sends) and want to apply that relative mix to an already active volume automation - how would you do that?
Great stuff, Brad! And yeah, I have a pro tip for ya: No need to Punch Preview, but just directly Write to All/Selection right away. It is faster ;) Exit Preview when done with all the passes.
Nice one! Didn't know about that.
thank you!
Good Stuff!
In preview you don't have to hit punch preview before you hit manual write automation to selection. Just hit manual write automation to selection when your happy with your automation.
This is something I've discovered as well. I use preview mode to set-up automation and "write to selection" all the time with out Punch Preview. I'm curious what the purpose of the punch preview is. Or maybe I'm missing something. But really great tutorial - shift S and M? how did I miss that?
Thanks man^^
ty
Damn.. this video made me want to do sound production on film!
Very in depth tutorial, however, I have a question. Pro Tools EQ automation allows users to adjust up to 1/100 of a decibel, but it only displays to 1/10 of a decibel. This blind spot is creating major drag on my work flow. Does anyone know how to display Pro Tools EQ automation up to 1/100 of a decibel? Thanks in advance.
U da man
thanks! is there a way to let the final autommation level stay latched at that level instead of it bouncing back to its original value after pressing stop?
great
Golden content, watched it multiple times! I spotted a strange icon on your Dock, which is a software called Reconformer v2. This makes me believe you have experience with syncing up a PT session to follow edits coming from the NLE. Perhaps i could ask you to give a few words on how you use this in practice? Thank you!
I Always select the region I want to write automation to->pres auto suspend->fiddle my plugs and parameters->and press "option command /" (write to all unabled).
I don't see the Trim Volume option. Is that for like more expensive PT versions?
So let's say I have a plugin and I have a couple of different patches that I want to switch between in a mix in that plugin. Is there a way to automate these patch changes?
On My Protools Ultimate 2018, Shift M doesn't Mute the track, it select le track below the first one selected. Shift S put my track in Solo but i don't know why Shift M doesn't Mute the track
Hi Great tutorial, just wondering you are doing the preview - write to all mode, around 9:00, you have vol, pan, mute, svol, s pan and s mute all selected and when you write to all it apprears only yur noise reduction is written to the track. When I do this is also writes everything unless I only have plug in selected. Is there a setting I am missing? Thanks
The "Preview mode -> Write to Selection" workflow should only affect parameters that are automation enabled and have been altered/touched while in Preview.
Thanks for a great tutorial! What type of headset are you using?
I don’t typically work with headphones, but I have a pair of beyerdynamic DT 770s that I used in this video.
Thank you for sharing this. It's so helpful. Just wondering if you know any keyboard hotkey that can turn on/off "Preview" and "Punch Preview"?
LindsaySu as far as I know there isn’t one. I use the iPad app to do this when I don’t have a eucon enabled console. I leave it in softkey mode and use it for automation control and snapshot automation.
Thank for getting back to me.
I usually use Artist Control for the preview function but it will be nice if I can keep my left hand on keyboard during dialogue pre dub. Really hope Pro Tools will add that hotkey on keyboard soon.
@@LindsaySu Check out Keyboard Maestro application
@@d1eg0marti will do. Thank you
I tried it but it says no automation written I dont why I did all wat u did but still it's not working
what is the name of this pro tools I want to get it
how do i get this radar thing?
F*CKIN THANK YOU!!!!
You missed the Texas BBQ?
What's funny is that I just watched this today to get ideas for an update and I think this is the first time I caught that!
This viseo makes me want to switch to Mac
I feel so uncomfortable when i get on a pro tools where the solo isn't set to X or.. Ha Ha
some people will build a mix using solos, I can't stand working that way and would rather use a mute if anything, but X-OR mode allows both workflows. I had someone fight me on this issue recently, which I can understand, but this was on my own personal machine. Like what gives?
you're going to fast and flying by details without explaining. This isn't about how smart you are. It's suppose to be about teaching.
Then pay for the class. This is a whole class worth of info and cannot be absorbed in one shot. Like he says at the end focus on one thing and do it to death, then move on.
Thank you!
