Finally a tutorial where the goal is not to impress us but to help us understand! The most valuable moments on KZbin is the little silence after an important sentence! Thank you!

[@scottwolfguitar]

Thanks, so glad it was helpful!

[@joymattey]

KZbin recommended this video to me, and I was so glad I found it because I’m starting to mix on pro tools and saw a lot of tutorials with this folder routing organization but didn’t know how to set it up.

Extremely well done with awesome clarity, precision, and professionalism.

[@scottwolfguitar]

Shift alt is a big time saver, thank you!

[@scottwolfguitar]

Glad it helped!

Been using PT since 2004 and never bothered to work out what the folders were for....who feels stupid now? Thanks for that mate!

[@scottwolfguitar]

Haha! I’m not sure they have even been around for that long? They still feel new to me too.

[@rishardlampese8947]

Thanks so much for this. That was all previously a mystery to me (probably because I didn't take the time to study the manual.) Your PT videos are a great help indeed!

[@scottwolfguitar]

So happy it helped!

Such a great tutorial, and great to see Pro Tools making it into the 1990s.

[@scottwolfguitar]

Thanks! 90s?

[@MichaelCryne]

@@scottwolfguitar just a little joke. It’s a great tutorial and thanks for putting it together. 🙏

I know wth you meant. On every other DAW in the 20th century you create a bus, click solo, and you hear every track that's routed to it. In Protools, before folders, you route all your tracks to an Aux/Bus, click solo and hear nothing.

[@familydiscount-ne5nz]

@@coldskoolbeatz😂😂😂 yeah ima logic user and this would get me HEATED😂😂😂😂 going back to check touting seeing everything right and hearing NOTHING?YOOOO🤦🏾‍♂️😡🤬🤬🤬😂😂😂😂

[@charenadhanraj3682]

[@Cowri]

Ah man - you just saved my bacon. Thank tou 🙏🏻

[@scottwolfguitar]

Haha! Glad to hear it!

[@josephloesch9270]

Thanks--good clear teaching. Nice vocal and band too--who and what is that?

[@cassandrabangel572]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Just wondering, what do you use to screen capture and capture audio from ProTools to make your videos? Thanks:)

[@scottwolfguitar]

I used Camtasia (it’s a bit buggy on my Mac and I’m probably switching to something else) and Loopback for Audio it’s awesome!

[@DVTOM]

So is that Routing Folder like creating a Bus out? Can the routing folder be treated like a Bus meaning can you add FX and other routing options to it? What if i wanted to have 3 toms as its own sub mix then go into the routing folder, can that be done too?

[@scottwolfguitar]

As I understand it, a routing folder has the same benefits as using an aux for a submix.

[@roberto_siahaan]

How much is this Pro Tools sir, looks cool

[@tonysboris1]

I notice that you use superior drummer. How do you route drums to separate tracks?

[@scottwolfguitar]

Is it the multi out version? I’m pretty sure I found a video a while back that walked through it.

[@Wrconstruction]

good afternoon, i was wondering if you could help me, i have artist that dont want to him themselves while recording, but i still need to hear them how do i do this using sub mix

[@scottwolfguitar]

I’d suggest using sends to create a headphone mix
