Creating Your Own Sample Library With Pro Tools

NOTE: Don’t forget about the FREE SAMPLE LIBRARY DOWNLOAD at the bottom of the article

No matter what music "genre" you are into, chances are you will at some point need to use Samples to augment your music production. Music producers & creators have for years depended on pre-recorded audio files (Samples) to add enhancement, reproduction, and replacement in order to fulfill their musical creativity. Sometimes this is due to the lack of that particular instrument/musician being available, or to simply replace the existing sounds with ones that are more appropriate for the song. Regardless of why Samples are utilized, there are several different way to acquire and organize your audio files in Pro Tools. Let’s take a look at some of the most common workflows utilized in music production. Also, don’t forget about the FREE DOWNLOAD at the bottom of the article.

Game Plan! Learn Pro Tools 11- Speed up your Session Workflow and Organization

Have you ever had a moment when you are working on a project where you started to encounter one challenge after another? I’ve been in that situation often enough that the one thing I’ve learned from this is to plan ahead more effectively with building your Pro tools sessions. Many of you might be thinking… "Planning? Who has time for it?" Indeed, this requires effort, but it has to be done to work efficiently on projects, especially ones with large number of tracks. Improper preparation can result in major delays on a project, misplacing data to where you can't locate it efficiently, as well as investing more time and money. The more information you have at the beginning of a project, the better prepared you will be to flow and work through the project. This means understanding what type of project you will be working on; what is the genre, the tempo, the style, time signature, etc. Who is involved in the song or project? How many musicians would you be working with? This allows you to set out how many tracks you are going to need.

This week we will look at Gobbler, a "Cloud" based application that allows for collaborative workflow as well as media and session sharing to anybody in your email list. Let’s see how it works and how it can help you to collaborate with others and maximize our creativity with Pro Tools sessions or other forms of Multi-media.
