Pro Tools Basics Part 1 | Creating a Session & Toolbar Overview

[@muhammadnasser9170]

Honestly, you are the best person I have ever seen teaching..Pro Tools

[@jacobhaine8297]

I definitely gotta say, this is the best informational video on tools for this DAW that I’ve been able to find after months of looking!!!

[@emily_bowie]

I’m so glad it has been helpful! Thanks, Jacob!

[@synthoelectro]

Used many DAWs in 23 years, and so far using Pro tools is the most helpful for workflow among the others I've used, including Cubase.

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

Thank you. I have used Pro Tools off and on since 2006 as I taught Radio Editing at a college. There were items in this tutorial that I have never used or knew about.

[@BassSeries]

Great Video! You are not assuming that people come here and prior knowledge and taking the time to go through basics. As a user who moves from Logic Pro to Pro Tools, this helps a lot!

[@emily_bowie]

Hey thanks, friend! I’m going to be making a lot more of these types of videos. I’ve been seeing a lot more folks switching to Pro Tools like yourself. Thanks for the feedback!

[@graceheartsound2486]

Just added Pro Tools 2021.7 to my studio software. (Studio One and Cubase user) I found your “Pro Tools Template” video, very good, and now watching this one. All good stuff! Thanks!

[@bluecityfilmsLA]

[@BorisDiRocco]

Thanks so much for the excellent tutorial.

[@BryanGrigsby]

Great video... just getting started with Pro Tools, this was very helpful.

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

I stopped by. thanks for sharing this overview of protools I have been curious about protools for a while. just going through your videos.

[@chavisgrandpa]

I cannot thank you enough for this video session. It is like the light has finally come on for me. I have wanted to understand Pro Tools for years and just always got so frustrated that I would give up. But for some reason I am understanding it now. Thank you! On to part 2!

[@emily_bowie]

Hey Tony! I’m so glad it’s been helpful! Thanks for being here! ⚡️

[@chavisgrandpa]

@@emily_bowie Thank You Emily! I'm still navigating around the Pro Tools system. I was able to lay down a guitar track tonight. Then adjust the waveform so I could see it better. I have so much to learn. But I feel more confident now. Cheers!

[@hms1]

Great videos, well explained and thorough! I’ve been using pro tools for a number of years and have learned so many helpful tips from your vids. One thing I didn’t see, and this is a beginner mistake - when you add a new audio track to a session, name it… right away, before recording anything on it. If you change the track name after, the takes don’t follow the name change. Not impossible to fix but time consuming and much like untangling wires after a messy setup 🫤😉

[@drumcoversbysean9802]

Thanks for creating tutorial series. I’m very new at Pro Tools and you will be my online guide.

[@ida_sriyaka]

Bless you for this 🙏🏽 ❤

[@hoperobinson8218]

[@kevinbrandman8893]

i hove found you to be making sence compared to many other pro tool teaching youtubers

[@msongs]

when i open this program it kills all the sound on my computer. have to close it to get my sound back.

[@jae6220]

I’ve watched this a few times. It’s helped me get somewhat started. I’m brand new to this protools stuff. Does your online tutorials go into even more depth for a beginners?

[@emily_bowie]

Thanks for watching! So glad it's been helpful. Yes, all courses are a step-by-step style of teaching with explanations and examples.

[@jae6220]

@@emily_bowie which one do you recommend?

[@emily_bowie]

@@jae6220 I have one that focuses on vocals and a masterclass that covers how I mix entire sessions from start to finish. They both come with my mixing template and practice multitracks. I have all the information on my website www.fairairmusic.com under the Products tab.

Hi Emily. Thank you for this video. I don't see those last buttons on the right around 22:03. I'm using PT 2021.7.0.

[@emily_bowie]

Thank so much for watching! Are you saying you don’t have these buttons?

[@ronconnatser8889]

Hi I have a question. When I record there are dropouts. It’s like it stops recording them start: recording drop outs. What’s causing this? Hopefully you can help

Hey Emily .... So basically you jumped from the page where you literally created the name of the "song"/project and the route to save it . . . . to completely skip the building of tracks, I/O, MIDI vs Instruments (etc), and so on. So you went from "Pro Tools Basics Part 1" to some other level that has to do with "importing tracks" and "navigation features". Shuffle mode, moving tracks, etc. is obviously important and great but a person using Pro Tools Basics Part 1 would expect to learn how to set up the program in order to record sounds from different sources, i.e. a MIDI keyboard, Pro Tools onboard library, etc. You just skipped right past all that. Why?! Do you come back to that part of the setup at some other point down the line?
