So what about the Pro Tools Setup -> Peripherals -> Midi Controllers? What do I put there? The choice for controller type does not include Akai, only "None", "Command8", "HUI", "Surround Panner", "M-Audio Kbd", and "Komplete Kontrol." So how do I setup my Akai controller keyboard here? No one has said anything about this yet... Thank you for all your help to others, if you can help me figure out what I'm supposed to put in here, I'd really be very happy.

Hi! For these specific menus, it refers more so to a session controller. Like a presonus control surface and other devices of that sorts. I’ll be making more videos in the future covering these specific types of menus. I’ve been extremely busy the last year or so. I’ll be making KZbin videos on a consistent basis again starting next month. My apologies!

It’s okay, you don’t really need an interface if you’re not recording with a mic or instrument. First and foremost, make sure that the track you are using is record enabled and that the output is set to your main speakers/headphones. Also, in the drop down menus, go to “setup” and select “playback engine”. In there, make sure that in the device section, your have the proper selection for which you want to use.

Hi, great question. I’ve only connected one and that’s the Ensoniq ASR10 that I have. I haven’t worked with it much digitally but what I’ve been able to do is use it as a MIDI keyboard by using the MIDI IN and OUT connections with an interface that has those same connections. As far as playing their sounds, I route the audio output to an input on a mixer or interface. Does this help? I think I’ll make a video covering this.

@DezaviProductions
@DezaviProductions 2 жыл бұрын
Congratulations on your Avid Carbon Interface 🎊! There are many brands out there but my personal favorite for ProTools is Akai. A 49 key controller they have is the MPK249. This one has a transport (Play, Stop, and Record button) that you can use to control ProTools. Other great brands are Alesis, Arturia, and M-Audio. Other brands such as Novation and Native Instruments are great too and are compatible but are typically paired with other software. You’ll find that many MIDI Controllers have settings that are mapped to use with all software and never have settings for ProTools. This is because ProTools isn’t typically used as much for beat making. Other software such as Fruity Loops and Ableton Live are much easier to get creative in than ProTools. I personally use Ableton Live to create beats and experiment with music. I use ProTools for all editing, mixing, and mastering. I use both. Ableton for creation and ProTools for perfection.

Hi Ariel thank you for watching! There is another way to setup your MIDI controller. It is a bit different. I will try my best to explain it here but will most likely make a new video for the explanation. Go to "Setup" in the menu and choose "Peripherals". In peripherals click on "MIDI Controllers". Where is says "TYPE" choose "M-Audio Keyboard". Where it says "Receive From" and "Send To" select your controller. Click OK at the bottom. Let me know if this helps, I'll be making a video for this thank you for your question and I'm glad you liked the video, please subscribe! I have more videos on the way.

ProTools is not the best when it comes to creativity and can sometimes make you hit creative blocks because of it. They just recently updated their softwares and added a drum machine finally after so many years. I’ll be trying many different things and post videos in regards to the new updates and drum machine as well as the synth machine. Thank you so much for subscribing and watching!

Hi Alberto, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your MIDI controller. Did you download MPK Mini Editor for your controller? Also, it seems as though you have a "Click/Metronome" on your instrument track. It must be a virtual instrument that must be used in an insert of the instrument track. Virtual Instruments must be in the AAX format. Do you have any virtual instruments that you can use? Xpand2 is a popular default virtual instrument.

I honestly spaced out completely about the pads when making the video, but they play just the same as the keys. You can cycle thru the different sounds by switching banks but because there’s only 16 pads total combined between the two banks, you’re only limited to 16 sounds on the pads. The pads are most effective when using a drum machine VST.

@DezaviProductions

At the time of the release of this video, there wasn’t a default drum machine in ProTools that would allow you to use the drum pads. Now there’s Groove Cell. You can use Groove Cell from Avid. OR you could use Battery 4 by Native Instruments. It’s much easier and more flexible to work with in my opinion. The plug-in alone is $199. Another option is you could sign up for Native Instruments “Komplete Now” subscription. It’s $10 a month for the use of a bunch of plug-ins with awesome sounds and it includes Battery 4. I’m using them right now to make the next tutorial which is “How to make a beat in ProTools”. I’m not paid by Native Instruments by the way lol. I’m not trying to sell you anything. ProTools is not the best software to make beats in honestly. That’s why I’m making the new tutorial, to help those find the best way possible to make beats in ProTools. So if you’re interested in watching that video, it’ll be released here soon. Hope this helps.

In my personal experiences, the best DAWs that help bring out your creativity without complications is Ableton Live and FL Studio. I first started making music in FL Studio. Then in started using ProTools, and then I learned how to use Ableton Live. Now I make my music in Ableton Live and do all the editing, mixing, and mastering in ProTools. I know a lot of people who have had great experiences with Logic Pro but I’ve never used it. I want to try it though. Don’t be discouraged to learn a new DAW. In the end they all do the same thing basically, it just depends on your work flow honestly. And who knows, you might end up liking one better than the other. It’ll also help you when you collaborate with others who use different DAWs as well.

It takes some time to navigate these softwares, take your time and explore the many functions. Its rather easy and definitely fun to work with once you understand them.

Here's the link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJq1qaSCfdmdmsk. To create an instrument track go to the drop down menu "TRACK" and select "NEW". From there you can create an instrument track and add a virtual instrument that you can play on your MIDI Controller. I hope this helps.

Hey dude, I've done everything, step by step and still no signal coming from my MIDI. ProTools identifies it in the MIDI setup. I create an instrument track and still no signal coming through...Any help?

Okay, and what is the plug-in virtual instrument you are using?

@DezaviProductions 2 жыл бұрын
@@koltonfreck if you’re using a USB cable the interface shouldn’t be involved. Make sure you have a Virtual Instrument plugin on your instrument track and that the record enable button is on as well as the output set to your monitors/speakers. Create a mono instrument track and then add your virtual instrument plug in to that particular track. Let me know if you continue to have issues, I’m here to help!

@@DezaviProductions Just figured it out. It was a volume issue. I have an Akai MPK mini. I noticed I still have to crank the volume way up as the drums and keys have a very low response.

Hi Natasha. Perhaps as a default setting ProTools has your “Inserts” hidden. You can right click at the top between where your tracks meet your ruler where it says SENDS, I/O and choose which slots to hide and show. Does this help?

Before you do that, go to the “View” drop down menu and go to “Edit Window Views”. There you can choose which ones you can see in your edit window. These are also accesible in the mix window.

Peace be upon you, God's mercy and blessings.. Is there anyone who has an idea about programming the midi device page for protools and how to connect the Yamaha a5000 organ via the sound card with programming the midi page to the organ itself so that the protools are the master controller and the keyboard is the slave slaev?

In input enable settings my screen says MPK mini 3 (Emulator) instead of just MPK mini 3 and I'm wondering if this is the problem. Thoughts?
@DezaviProductions
@DezaviProductions 2 жыл бұрын
Hi! It very well could be the problem. Couple things to trouble shoot. First check to make sure that “MIDI THRU” in the “OPTIONS” drop down menu is checked and enabled. Restart the software after if needed. If that doesn’t work, make sure your firmware for the MPK Mini is up to date. I’ve attached a link for the firmware update for the MPK MINI MK3. Follow the steps and let me know if this does or doesn’t fix the issue. www.akaipro.com/mpk-mini-mk3
