10 Things You Don't Know about Pro Tools

[@timinglismusic6707]

The "Spot Mode" tip is a beauty. Thanks dude!

[@SOUNDINTHECITY]

The global setting for grouped plugins was a new one for me. I usually use the groups to create different views in large sessions. Group only drums, only vocals, only bus/aux tracks. Then you can recall the memory location and only view the selected tracks in the group.

[@oscarpatxot659]

Men, as an ProTools Veteran there were a couple of these that will really improve my workflow. 👌🏽👌🏽

[@davidallenjr8503]

This is why i love my job. Ive been doing this for about 8 years and i can always learn something new 👍🏾.. your never “to good” to learn. Thanx for the tips my wavy brother 🌊

[@JustinMoralesTheComposer]

I actually knew a lot of these, But def learned some new stuff too. Subbed. On the first tip - playback at half speed, I use that trick in editing when I need to hear really small differences in rhythm or hear exactly where the down beat is to make a cut. Also you can use it to record really fast midi parts. I’ve written some parts that are just too fast for me to pull off on midi keys for example. Boom - hit record, shift, play and then record the midi part at half speed. Plays back at normal speed. Also midi doesn’t playback pitch shifted down an octave when you do halftime playback, only audio tracks do that.

[@LoftyMediaNetwork]

I love using the half speed playback to do certain automation rides that I can do better when it’s slower you should try it wavy Wayne

[@JustinMoralesTheComposer]

Also, the “Do to selected function” has another level you can add shift + alt + command (windows key) and it will cascade your input/output selection. So if I’m setting up 6 fx busses - select the 6 aux tracks, press alt, shift, command the click input -> bus 1-2, then the other tracks will auto fill 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 , 9-10 and 11-12. That one I figured out by accident. Saved me a lot of time.

[@qemaltorrabeats2241]

nice one bro

[@edwardtaylor556]

Bar and Grill, You always put a smile on my face while learning. Thank You.

[@RideTheFuture]

Very helpful for beginner and intermediate users ! Great job ;-) 1 out of 10 was totally new to me, even after 25 years on PT !

[@Chrisjenkinstvg]

Aye so with the half speed I can just do a print track record it and put that section in as a chopped and screwed or is that too complicated?

[@waynewav]

You can do half soled recording. Just hold shift when you start recording.

[@Chrisjenkinstvg]

@@waynewav boy ain’t no way I ain’t know that 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@TheAerovons]

Just put the tracks in Polyphonic mode and you can play the session back at any speed you want, not just half speed.

[@Chrisjenkinstvg]

@@TheAerovons will try that today in here mixing now

[@inyourworldofmusic8545]

loving this video Wavy Some of the thing i know and used and some i never used before i always over look them thanks man i will start using those ones

[@justjohnmusicchannel8327]

Great video and I did learn a couple of things which isn't easy bercasue I've been using PT since Day One! lol Anywa, one of my favorite tricks I use when I'm dealing with a grid track is using the Set Sync Point function. This is very useful when you need to copy a clip that starts a little before the downbeat of a measure or any grid value like Qtr Note or 8th note or Bar. You select the bar or beat you want to mark within a clip or region with your cursor, hit CTRL Comma on Windows or COMMAND Comma on Mac to set a symc point. Now you can grab that clip and Use the CTRL Copy function to slide it to a new spot on your grid and it is perfectly in sync with the grids.

[@bzakie2]

Aaaaaahhhh that ‘N’ key!!!! This is gonna change my life dude! Thankyou so much.

[@elijahwohlers9945]

This is a great video for people who do not have Pro Tools Certifications. I have taken 5 Pro Tools classes and have received my User and Operator license and if everyone one here really LOVES these tips then go get your Cert's!!! This is just the tip of the iceberg! Also ear training will help immensely to tell if something sounds good. Also What Cert's do you teach?

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

I ain't ashamed to say I didn't know any of them... I appreciate the info, and will likely come back to this when my memory fails...

[@Caldhinoworld876]

When he said we clicked on the video to say I knew this I knew that, had me falling out my chair because I’m guilty of that! 😂😂😂

[@ELMCinc]

I don’t have Protools but I still watch your videos because I enjoy watching the knowledge you share. Still waiting on that logic video Wavy 💪🏾

[@alexmuli]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great tips!

[@AlexRG8]

Had PT four years now, gotta admit didn't know half of these great tips and tricks. As always this channel is absolutely top notch. 👍

[@KuDolla]

Holding down command key while selecting tracks allows you to randomly select tracks for adding or removing plugins

[@thugstyledevastation3554]

[@ufallo]

Wavy you’ve done it again fam. 🔥 content as always. That group plugins joint was whoa! 🤯

[@MAJORSVNVLOGS]

I learned a lot! Wavy Wayneeee the 🐐

[@JPRWP]

Been using PT since 2000 and I still knew to watch this video. Grouped plugins? I’m so annoyed thinking back how many times I’ve needed that and will need it 🤦‍♂️ this video kinda makes me want to take the courses

[@LethalDos]

These tips are absolute 🔥🔥

[@waynewav]

💯💯

[@anthonysarantakis]

That last tip explained my past month. Lol. Thank you! Much appreciated! Much love!

[@waynewav]

You are so welcome

[@marlowdurden4419]

WaVY WAYNE , My question is what type of faDER CONTROL THAT YOU HAVE IN THIS VIDEO AND DOES IT COME 32 CHANNELS AND OR WHAT AMOUNT OF CHANNELS DOES IT COME AND WITH?

[@edavidmartinez]

Amazing tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing

[@elijahnewman5371]

Shift + Option just changed my life

[@michaeleubanks1446]

Wavy Wayne, I appreciate everything I have learned from you KZbin presentations. I would love to be able join the study, but I am not available enough because I work everyday, try to spend some time in the my studio in the evenings, and some on the weekends, I am on stage. When I have time for studio, I find you. My DAW is a Tascam DM3200 (which I am still learning). I would be awesome to link up with someone has my setup. What do you recommend Wavy? I would great the speak with you. Thanks.

[@allthingsfrench1391]

I also use import session data.. I would like to ask also, I'm still on protools 9 I'm stuck in finishing a record and need to obviously upgrade my system.. what is the best protools equipment to get these days. I am really out of touch.

[@raerondo]

anyone do the avid certification? i’m interested in it but don’t see any reviews

[@allthingsfrench1391]

Dang..i also use nudge.. old school tape. The last tip almost hits my current problem. I have two bars in yellow with dots on either side that i cannot seem to get rid of. •| |• 👈like that but in yellow. I have to place the blue marker manually every time.. it's a pain.

[@ChaceBonanno]

What circumstance would you ever want to solo every track?

[@raymiller8487]

Great video, Wayne. Thanks for making it.

[@Muziq4tune]

Brilliant! You always help me when I need it. Thanks

[@judson8441]

Any way to automate the half speed playback?

[@CDP_STUDIOS]

Thanks for all the very useful tips an tricks

[@Spider._.dust_music]

#10 has been driving me crazy for years!! Lol i just figured this out recently 🤘 great video 💯

[@CoolLava]

Haha. Your last tip was a challenge I learned before this video. You’re right drove me crazy. That “N” is a bugger.

[@mixbybart]

What software do you use to record your video? I tried using OBS Studio but it doesn't show my plugins when I record.

[@courtlandliddell9942]

I remember these from my protools certification course, great shortcuts to use

[@melodyman9162]

Great vid brother. Thank you!

[@Chrisjenkinstvg]

Good look bro 💯💯💯💯💯

[@johnvalther]

Very cool Wayne, thank you for useful tips. I recently discovered Clip Lines. That is a Nice tool too.

[@6ix_paths473]

That second to last Gem is great for aligning your beat/vocals on the grid.

[@jimchim2354]

Show them how to map a tempo in protools. If the audio is recorded without a click track but you need to add a midi instrument, you will need to make a tempo map so that you can use a click when you overdub

[@Patientbetters2]

Im glade ive seen this frfr it was more stuff i didnt know like in my last song on my channel i didnt use all those tip thanks wavy your a real blessing my guyy yee

Any discount coupons for the Elite yearly sub? I'm asking for the penny pincher with the🤒pockets 😁

[@waynewav]

Hey dam. The yearly is the discount. Almost $100 savings Vs paying monthly plus you get extra content.

[@gregphilipmusic]

[@DamienSlingsby]

Are you offering 201 or 210m certification?

[@creatorsofmusiz]

Hey, can you work at you on pace with the ProTools Cert course?

[@envisagefilmshouston]
