Wow I went from ZERO to got the basics so fast. Thanks that is a phenomenal video.

[@bai]

Very welcome!

[@citizenworld8094]

It's not the "rhythm" but the "TEMPO" that changes at 4:00. Many folk get confused over the two. Rhythm has to do with the breakdown of various beats within a bar that is managed by linear time, whilst tempo has to do solely with linear time that can accelerate or decelerate or remain static. This affects rhythm but it remains a constant until it's changed. Rhythm is affected but not governed by linear time because the breakdown of rhythm never changes. I think this confusion arises from "rhythm guitar" or "rhythm section" but they're merely traditional terms attributed to drums who was usually responsible for the tempo but not how the guitar would play his crotchets, quavers etc. Hope this helps!

Real talk - Pro Tools was like a roach on the wall that you act like you didn't see. Years I avoided PrTls and stuck w/Logic. Thank you and I'm in

[@monicato1240]

THANK YOU for this introductory video!!! So many other Pro Tools videos expect you to be a racecar driver already when you don't yet know which pedal is gas and which is brake...

[@angyfugolo]

Very knowladgeable - way over other paid lousy courses. The amount of information per second is fabulous.

[@bai]

Thank you very much :D

[@MikeGrahamDSM]

I am an experienced DAW user using Reason, Logic, Ableton, FL, GarageBand, and now happily staying w/ Reaper, but being that I want to pivot from my current day job into something more into my skills’ field (audio), one quickly learns that ProTools is still required - at least working knowledge. So, thank you for this!!

[@bai]

You are welcome!

[@andypianoman]

This is the best video on how to learn pro tools I've found so far and I've seen many

[@bai]

Glad you think so!

[@RattlesnakeJakey]

Really appreciate how quick and concise this is, and for the most part focused on DAW functions more than music production tips. As somebody just trying to pick up on similarities and differences between ProTools and my current daw, Cubase, it was nice to not have to sit through loads of tips for music production newbies just to see where I go to do automation.

[@rell0223]

Watching videos on other daws really makes me appreciate how streamlined and intuitive ableton is

[@bobberino4775]

Fr lmao. Beeb making beats on ableton for years but needing to learn pro tools to get into the pro audio world. Shits horrifying

[@AT-eh2eo]

There’s no reason you should have to manually create a metronome track lmao…pro tools is literally the standard because it got there before other programs could fully developed lol

[@BritishBoy]

@@AT-eh2eo true, and also pro tools just tends to work better with large audio desks and studio equipment.

[@Gavin.n.p]

This really made Pro Tools WAYYYY less scary then when I first opened it... Thank you!

[@bai]

Yay! We are happy to have helped with this one!

[@GemLargo]

Currently watching this as a crash course coz I have a practical exam in my audio subject... But watching this makes me wanna switch from Ableton to Pro Tools. I feel like I could maximize my potential in audio engineering and production with Pro Tools. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@bai]

You are welcome!!

[@LeChapeauMusic]

That's a nice getting started guide. I need to mention though that you shouldn't set the track's output to your speaker outs, but to the mix bus. If you're not hearing anything, you should just set the mix bus's out to your speaker outs.

[@bai]

Thank you very much for your feedback, we will improve this in our next tutorial.

[@MSYF9]

I’m a beginner and I’m having issue of not hearing anything when I inserted .WAV stereo track. I tried selecting track’s output to Bus1-2. Not able to figure how to set bus output to speakers. I’m stuck, please help. Thank you 😊

[@M00nSquid]

I have severe ADHD and I actually was able to focus on and understand every part of this without backtracking so great frikken vid.

[@GeorgeKarolemeas369]

Same. Adderal XR x changed everything. The instants were too inconsistent. I’m having 5 out 7 productive days in a week. Where as the instant felt like playing “ whack a mole” and maybe 2 days of productivity. And rage fits. XR is the way to go. No crashes. No dips. Not speedy either. Just right. For me.

[@dunit5555]

Looking at Avid I was lost but pretty much everything I know from Logic translates over. I just need to find the buttons for everything. I'm also studying audio in college! And I'm fanatic!

Excellent tutorial!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@niallsbasstones9713]

Hello from Dublin, I hope you are well I hooked up my Bass Guitar to my new SSL12 Audio Interface today and connected it to my DAW (pro tools artist) and monitored it via Headphones. Unusually, while the Bass tone sounded really great on my headphones prior to hitting “record” on my DAW, once I actually started recording, the Bass Tone changed significantly and emanated a very “hollow” sounding tone. Even more unusually, I went ahead and recorded anyway, and during subsequent playback, the tone sounded great again, exactly as it did prior to the recording. So I’m wondering, why does the SSL12 tone that I’m hearing in my headphones reduce in quality, once I engage the record switch on my Pro Tools Artist DAW? Thanks for reading Cheers Niall 🎸

[@gitarman666]

There is also a dedicated midi edit window not covered here it’s selection allows much more real estate and tools to work of midi data completely independent of the edit or mix windows Simply double click a midi track to open it

[@bai]

We will improve this in our next series. Thank you

[@Chrystabell]

wonderful and helpful!

[@prod.vernacular3933]

Currently in a sound design program, ive used Logic Pro for years, now suddenly needing to use pro tools, it looks so difficult visually haha.

[@praveen_traxx]

Can you please. Do videos fro routing skills tips for mixing in protools.( what should need to better know is that’s enough 😊 ) so bit by bit you can give updates on ): example 5.1 mix. Stereo mix etc…

[@90s-Trance_86]

What's the reason my mp3 128kbps SOunds pretty good with proper volume with earplugs. But If I pay the song through a sound Like minibox bluetooth device, you have to put up the volume very high to hear proper sound. Is there a way you can edit your mp3's to one high bearable level? not that one mp3 is soft and the other one is good

[@VladBoi]

Thanks 😍

[@bai]

No problem 😊

With Pro Tools Artist, is there only one type of interface you can use ? I am having trouble getting it to work, also it says to plug in dongle even though I purchased a digital one, do I still need to purchase a physical one ? Cheers to any advice 👌

[@prod.keystone]

There are interfaces which are "HD Compatible" that works the best with Pro Tools. Most interfaces do work with ProTools but there are some that dont.

[@thefalcon666]

awesome - so once again, another "tutorial video" that doesn't help a beginner out on even finding the record button after 13 minutes - super helpful...

[@bai]

This point is present in the tutorial... have you watched it all?

[@YAMI_MAR_art]

I bought an m audio interface last year, and only this morning I read on the box that pro tools is "included" but how do I get it, when on the website they direct me to says that Pro tools is discontinued?

[@jurassicsurvivor9204]

i never use this daw before, butt i get why they say its the best and that the pro studios use it this daw looks sick wow.

[@SteveVicious1]

The very last thing you said in this video I don't think is true. When I drag select part of a single track, it still bounces all of the tracks in that area, unless there's a secret I don't know of?

installed the free version on a windows pc and when I opened the program it killed ALL the sound on my computer...no sound from videos, wavs, windows sound library no sound of any kind. whatta great program eh. went to that place where u choose the sound and tried windows sound and realtek asio and still no sound. closed pro tools and the sound came back.

thats how pro tools audio engine works. youll have to output sound through a different source or try to figure out asio4all.

seriously i learned from video games the best tutorial a lockin timers tooltips for concording explanations, it is the best way to learn ingrained mechanism and no other option can you teach you better protool has a audio drivers deactivators so forgot about checking a tutorial and checking in the programs the functionalities in realtime with the tutorial timelines, you cant navigate youtube or the internet or video media player on your own computer, i get it its legality based ownerships copyrighted content laws but its a pain to navigate, especially for someone has hyper active as myself wanting to learn realtime

[@chaosevolution]

Disgustingly bad UI for such an expensive software subscription. Industry Standard my 🍑. Needs to banned from Studios and replaced with Logic Pro X. Cubase Pro also needs to be banned. I just don't understand why the software engineers have to make the UIs so awful.

[@BlakeHall-fe4yu]

i dont see the i/o

[@mikepetry4299]

I could not watch BECAUSE = the voice-over sound mix cutting off the beginning of words is just silly in a video of a DAW = I'm sure the info was all good ... but I got to about 0:49 seconds - Am I the only one who hears this? Now, think something snarky and pretend I said it ... because you deserve it. I will find another video

We cut spaces to speed up the video accordingly, following the actual standards. If you noticed that, you sure have great ears man :)

[@ProfessorProspect]

As an Fl user, i hate the way pro tools looks. Yes it might have powerful tools but this is 2024, why does it look like one of the first ever programs for computer

[@cverswnathan]

fl looks like it was made before the wheel..

[@mikeslickmix8840]

I love it because it is simple and sleek. Designed to be easy on the eyes to look at for long periods of time… and it’s not complicated looking so it’s easy to navigate unlike FL studio… Mind you I started making beats on FL studio, yes it “looks cool”. Like a video game but the recording quality was trash🚮🚮 It’s better to focus on the quality and ability of a DAW more than how it looks😂 I also switched to making beats on Ableton Live and I hated how it looked but thankfully I didn’t let it stop me from using it because it’s the best production software I ever used and I experimented with everything!!!😂😂

[@rainydayyz5244]

Nah, my music tech teacher didn't teach me anything about this
