Melodyne Tutorial

In this tutorial, learn to use Melodyne directly inside the Pro Tools Editor Window so you can start tuning vocals now. Melodyne Essential has now been integrated directly into the Pro Tools editing workflow with the release of Pro Tools 2022.9. This integration allows you to save immense time without having to transfer audio into or out of Melodyne. 


New Pro Tools Carbon Pre

Oct  27, 2022 - Avid Technology just released a new multi-mic pre audio interface at the AES Show in NY last week. The Pro Tools | Carbon Pre uses built-in DSP derived from the flagship HDX systems to give you incredibly low-latency recording and the flexibility of the Hybrid Engine. 


New Features Pro Tools 2022.9 Workflow Improvements

With the release of Pro Tools 2022.9 on Sept 28, 2022 there has been a lot of talk about the integration with Melodyne, but there are also several other workflow improvements that are equally as exciting. Some of these changes include a new Quantize feature sure to help with Music Production, new timecode overlay features for Post Production, and several other tweaks that will make your day-to-day work smoother.


New Pro Tools Software 2022.9 With Melodyne

Avid has just released the latest version of Pro Tools: 2022.9. Amongst the many changes, the most anticipated change is the addition of Melodyne ARA directly in your Pro Tools session. You no longer have to use Melodyne as a separate plug-in, and can now be accessed directly on your audio tracks allowing you to make changes to pitch,tune vocals and fix timing as part of your editing workflow.


Clip FX In Pro Tools

Clip FX in Pro Tools allow you to apply EQ, Compressor and other Dynamics changes directly to audio flies and individual clips on a track, without the need to use traditional plugins. This feature allows you to put effects on individual parts "clips" of a track but not necessarily on its' entirely, which also saves processing power. Clip FX is also non-destructive, allowing you to add or remove changes without having to process any files or use alternate edits. In this video, Avid Master Instructor Frank D. Cook shows you how easy it is to start using Clip FX along with step-by-step instructions.


Split Notes to Separate MIDI Drum Sequencing Pro Tools Tutorial

Sequencing drums has always presented a challenge to music producers. While it is easy to create the sequence on a single MIDI track, this doesn't allow you individual control over each elements of the drum mix. An easy way to overcome this challenge is to use Split Notes, which enables you to separate each MIDI note onto its own track giving you control over your drum mix. This article shows you how easy it is to utilize Split Notes in Pro Tools.


Advanced Automation Preview Mode

One of the most powerful features when mixing in Pro Tools is the ability to Preview different automation settings without changing the original mix. In this Video Tutorial, Avid Master Instructor Frank D. Cook shows you how to use Automation Preview Mode to try out different settings for your mix, or plugin parameters without having to worry that your original mix will be altered.


MIDI Merge Recording

MIDI Merge allows us to add, or "merge", MIDI musical sequenced performance data to an existing MIDI track without overwriting any existing data on that clip. This allows you to layer your parts. When using this mode, we can layer MIDI parts one-at-a-time, building a full MIDI performance from multiple passes. This article and video tutorial shows you how easy to build complex musical parts in Pro Tools.


Setting Tempo And Advanced Tempo Changes

Tempo is one of the foundational elements of a song’s composition. Tempo is simply the speed at which a song is performed, or in our case, the speed at which Pro Tools will playback your session. In this article and video you'll learn how to apply tempo, and make advanced tempo changes in your Pro Tools Session.


Create Fades In Pro Tools

Fades are an essential component of the editing workflow in Pro Tools. After trimming, editing, and comping audio clips, fades help mask the boundaries between clips, ensuring smooth transitions and seamless playback. This video tutorial, and article will show you different methods of applying fades in Pro Tools.
