Groove3 Pro Tools Things You Should Know Vol.1

Join Pro Tools expert Thomas Cochran for a Pro Tools video course filled with handy and useful tips to improve your workflow, save time, and take advantage of little-known secrets. By the time you're through, you'll be ready to implement any or all of these ideas on your very next Pro Tools session and wonder how you ever managed to get by without them. These videos are designed for intermediate Pro Tools users who would like to increase their workflow efficiency and improve their familiarity with some of its hidden gems.

Thomas welcomes you and begins by introducing you to clip-based editing, which is a great way to adjust or fix certain elements of a performance, for instance, before applying processing to the entire track. Then he covers the Lo-Fi plugin, demonstrating how it can help to easily and quickly place sounds within a mix.

Next, you'll learn about linked effects inserts and see how they can be used to keep the same plug-in settings for all doubled or multiple tracks. This is very handy for making sure your processing stays the same for each. Thomas will then show you how to create and recall entire effects chains, which can be easily loaded as presets on a track to save valuable time. Other topics include importing templates into sessions (for importing full tracking or mixing projects into an existing session) and Melodyne ARA integration (useful for quickly editing all aspects of a vocal).

If you've never taken the time to really explore Pro Tools and get familiar with these concepts, you'll be amazed at how much they speed up your process and increase your effectiveness overall. Even just a few of these ideas will make a big difference in your productivity, but employing all of them will set you onto the path of becoming a Pro Tools power user. See the individual Pro Tools video tutorial descriptions for more information on everything that's covered and how it can help you realize your musical visions more quickly and easily. The small amount of time you invest to learn these tips will pay off big time in saved hours every week. What are you waiting for? Watch "Pro Tools: Things You Should Know" now!
