It's not the "rhythm" but the "TEMPO" that changes at 4:00. Many folk get confused over the two. Rhythm has to do with the breakdown of various beats within a bar that is managed by linear time, whilst tempo has to do solely with linear time that can accelerate or decelerate or remain static. This affects rhythm but it remains a constant until it's changed. Rhythm is affected but not governed by linear time because the breakdown of rhythm never changes. I think this confusion arises from "rhythm guitar" or "rhythm section" but they're merely traditional terms attributed to drums who was usually responsible for the tempo but not how the guitar would play his crotchets, quavers etc. Hope this helps!
THANK YOU for this introductory video!!! So many other Pro Tools videos expect you to be a racecar driver already when you don't yet know which pedal is gas and which is brake...
I am an experienced DAW user using Reason, Logic, Ableton, FL, GarageBand, and now happily staying w/ Reaper, but being that I want to pivot from my current day job into something more into my skills’ field (audio), one quickly learns that ProTools is still required - at least working knowledge. So, thank you for this!!
There’s no reason you should have to manually create a metronome track lmao…pro tools is literally the standard because it got there before other programs could fully developed lol
Currently watching this as a crash course coz I have a practical exam in my audio subject... But watching this makes me wanna switch from Ableton to Pro Tools. I feel like I could maximize my potential in audio engineering and production with Pro Tools. Thanks for this tutorial!
Really appreciate how quick and concise this is, and for the most part focused on DAW functions more than music production tips. As somebody just trying to pick up on similarities and differences between ProTools and my current daw, Cubase, it was nice to not have to sit through loads of tips for music production newbies just to see where I go to do automation.
That's a nice getting started guide. I need to mention though that you shouldn't set the track's output to your speaker outs, but to the mix bus. If you're not hearing anything, you should just set the mix bus's out to your speaker outs.
I’m a beginner and I’m having issue of not hearing anything when I inserted .WAV stereo track. I tried selecting track’s output to Bus1-2. Not able to figure how to set bus output to speakers. I’m stuck, please help. Thank you 😊
Looking at Avid I was lost but pretty much everything I know from Logic translates over. I just need to find the buttons for everything. I'm also studying audio in college! And I'm fanatic!
Hello from Dublin, I hope you are well I hooked up my Bass Guitar to my new SSL12 Audio Interface today and connected it to my DAW (pro tools artist) and monitored it via Headphones. Unusually, while the Bass tone sounded really great on my headphones prior to hitting “record” on my DAW, once I actually started recording, the Bass Tone changed significantly and emanated a very “hollow” sounding tone. Even more unusually, I went ahead and recorded anyway, and during subsequent playback, the tone sounded great again, exactly as it did prior to the recording. So I’m wondering, why does the SSL12 tone that I’m hearing in my headphones reduce in quality, once I engage the record switch on my Pro Tools Artist DAW? Thanks for reading Cheers Niall 🎸
There is also a dedicated midi edit window not covered here it’s selection allows much more real estate and tools to work of midi data completely independent of the edit or mix windows Simply double click a midi track to open it
Same. Adderal XR x changed everything. The instants were too inconsistent. I’m having 5 out 7 productive days in a week. Where as the instant felt like playing “ whack a mole” and maybe 2 days of productivity. And rage fits. XR is the way to go. No crashes. No dips. Not speedy either. Just right. For me.
What's the reason my mp3 128kbps SOunds pretty good with proper volume with earplugs. But If I pay the song through a sound Like minibox bluetooth device, you have to put up the volume very high to hear proper sound. Is there a way you can edit your mp3's to one high bearable level? not that one mp3 is soft and the other one is good
With Pro Tools Artist, is there only one type of interface you can use ? I am having trouble getting it to work, also it says to plug in dongle even though I purchased a digital one, do I still need to purchase a physical one ? Cheers to any advice 👌
I bought an m audio interface last year, and only this morning I read on the box that pro tools is "included" but how do I get it, when on the website they direct me to says that Pro tools is discontinued?
Can you please. Do videos fro routing skills tips for mixing in protools.( what should need to better know is that’s enough 😊 ) so bit by bit you can give updates on ): example 5.1 mix. Stereo mix etc…
For some reason my screen is cut off . So on the top where it shows the click track audio it’s cut off as if it doesn’t fit the screen. And there doesn’t seem to be away to slide it over or make it fit . No answers anywhere can someone help?
Why dose my dashboard panel doesn’t have the create button I’m in a pro tools subscription so I don’t get it making wanna move to another daw when I really don’t wanna can someone pls help thanks
The very last thing you said in this video I don't think is true. When I drag select part of a single track, it still bounces all of the tracks in that area, unless there's a secret I don't know of?
awesome - so once again, another "tutorial video" that doesn't help a beginner out on even finding the record button after 13 minutes - super helpful...
installed the free version on a windows pc and when I opened the program it killed ALL the sound on my computer...no sound from videos, wavs, windows sound library no sound of any kind. whatta great program eh. went to that place where u choose the sound and tried windows sound and realtek asio and still no sound. closed pro tools and the sound came back.
so here's my problem I knew how to use pro tolls but I disliked it and been using Logic Pro and forgot using pro tools, so now I need help remembering how to
seriously i learned from video games the best tutorial a lockin timers tooltips for concording explanations, it is the best way to learn ingrained mechanism and no other option can you teach you better protool has a audio drivers deactivators so forgot about checking a tutorial and checking in the programs the functionalities in realtime with the tutorial timelines, you cant navigate youtube or the internet or video media player on your own computer, i get it its legality based ownerships copyrighted content laws but its a pain to navigate, especially for someone has hyper active as myself wanting to learn realtime
Disgustingly bad UI for such an expensive software subscription. Industry Standard my 🍑. Needs to banned from Studios and replaced with Logic Pro X. Cubase Pro also needs to be banned. I just don't understand why the software engineers have to make the UIs so awful.
As an Fl user, i hate the way pro tools looks. Yes it might have powerful tools but this is 2024, why does it look like one of the first ever programs for computer
I love it because it is simple and sleek. Designed to be easy on the eyes to look at for long periods of time… and it’s not complicated looking so it’s easy to navigate unlike FL studio… Mind you I started making beats on FL studio, yes it “looks cool”. Like a video game but the recording quality was trash🚮🚮 It’s better to focus on the quality and ability of a DAW more than how it looks😂 I also switched to making beats on Ableton Live and I hated how it looked but thankfully I didn’t let it stop me from using it because it’s the best production software I ever used and I experimented with everything!!!😂😂
I could not watch BECAUSE = the voice-over sound mix cutting off the beginning of words is just silly in a video of a DAW = I'm sure the info was all good ... but I got to about 0:49 seconds - Am I the only one who hears this? Now, think something snarky and pretend I said it ... because you deserve it. I will find another video
I just wanted to know why I don't see the faders in my view and this horrible video didn't show that 1A tip. How is this even possible, the faders is the main thing of a mixers. God what I hate incompetent people!!!!!
Yep ilok is outdated trash. They go to such far lengths to stop piracy. It's literally an educational software. Idk why they gatekeep music production so badly.

Real talk - Pro Tools was like a roach on the wall that you act like you didn't see. Years I avoided PrTls and stuck w/Logic. Thank you and I'm in
Very knowladgeable - way over other paid lousy courses. The amount of information per second is fabulous.
Thank you very much :D
This is the best video on how to learn pro tools I've found so far and I've seen many
Glad you think so!
I am an experienced DAW user using Reason, Logic, Ableton, FL, GarageBand, and now happily staying w/ Reaper, but being that I want to pivot from my current day job into something more into my skills’ field (audio), one quickly learns that ProTools is still required - at least working knowledge. So, thank you for this!!
You are welcome!
This really made Pro Tools WAYYYY less scary then when I first opened it... Thank you!
Yay! We are happy to have helped with this one!
Watching videos on other daws really makes me appreciate how streamlined and intuitive ableton is
Fr lmao. Beeb making beats on ableton for years but needing to learn pro tools to get into the pro audio world. Shits horrifying
There’s no reason you should have to manually create a metronome track lmao…pro tools is literally the standard because it got there before other programs could fully developed lol
@@AT-eh2eo true, and also pro tools just tends to work better with large audio desks and studio equipment.
Currently watching this as a crash course coz I have a practical exam in my audio subject... But watching this makes me wanna switch from Ableton to Pro Tools. I feel like I could maximize my potential in audio engineering and production with Pro Tools. Thanks for this tutorial!

Very well done, perfect length/depth to get started
Thank you very much!!
Thank you for your work. Now I can start my own recording company.
Best of luck! :3

No problem 😊
I have severe ADHD and I actually was able to focus on and understand every part of this without backtracking so great frikken vid.

How do you install the Pro Tools sound libraries?
What's the reason my mp3 128kbps SOunds pretty good with proper volume with earplugs.
But If I pay the song through a sound Like minibox bluetooth device, you have to put up the volume very high
to hear proper sound.
Is there a way you can edit your mp3's to one high bearable level? not that one mp3 is soft and the other one is good
With Pro Tools Artist, is there only one type of interface you can use ?
I am having trouble getting it to work, also it says to plug in dongle even though I purchased a digital one, do I still need to purchase a physical one ?
Cheers to any advice 👌
There are interfaces which are "HD Compatible" that works the best with Pro Tools. Most interfaces do work with ProTools but there are some that dont.
I bought an m audio interface last year, and only this morning I read on the box that pro tools is "included"
but how do I get it, when on the website they direct me to says that Pro tools is discontinued?
I’m curious about this as well as I’ve been in the same situation
What do you mean? Can you add more details?
Very useful video!
Currently in a sound design program, ive used Logic Pro for years, now suddenly needing to use pro tools, it looks so difficult visually haha.
Nice video, thank you so much!
You are welcome!!
Protools is the most insufferable DAW I have ever touched.
@@cantrelate3410 skill issue
That’s too bad. If you can stop bitching And learn to use it you would start making the best quality music you can possible make🤷🏾♂️😂
@@cantrelate3410 it does look pretty complicated
How come? What's wrong with it?
@@cantrelate3410 I felt like that as well, I know my reason, which is I started with FL studio
Can you please. Do videos fro routing skills tips for mixing in protools.( what should need to better know is that’s enough 😊 ) so bit by bit you can give updates on ): example 5.1 mix. Stereo mix etc…
Hope getting my thing understood
Have you got a link to the sample of the dreamy vibe synth at 0:07 to 0:12?
Boutta graduate from bandlab fr 🤧
Great video, many thanks
Good tutorial I am starting to use Pro Tools. I am a filmmaker from Africa
Good luck with your next projects!
Thank you 😊
You are welcome!!!
Which version is this? Thanks
Hello! Ehat seems to be the problem? When I changed my output device via playback machine, protools restarts but didn't nake any changes after.. 😔
I spent $600 for a previous version of Pro-Tools, so why am I paying for a subscription now??
You may ask to AVID if this is mandatory.
@@bai Will do.
PT looks outdated like Digital Performer. Will it ever look less 90s?
This is so nice
I just need to record myself dropping incredible bars to send off to a pro to mix it down. I hope this 13 min explainer helps.
شكرا لك نريد شرح عن الفلاتر
Thank you sm for this
You are welcome!!
For some reason my screen is cut off . So on the top where it shows the click track audio it’s cut off as if it doesn’t fit the screen. And there doesn’t seem to be away to slide it over or make it fit . No answers anywhere can someone help?
I think you can decrease it’s size by clicking right click on mouse and decrease size
Why dose my dashboard panel doesn’t have the create button I’m in a pro tools subscription so I don’t get it making wanna move to another daw when I really don’t wanna can someone pls help thanks
The very last thing you said in this video I don't think is true. When I drag select part of a single track, it still bounces all of the tracks in that area, unless there's a secret I don't know of?
Amazing
Thanks :3
awesome - so once again, another "tutorial video" that doesn't help a beginner out on even finding the record button after 13 minutes - super helpful...
This point is present in the tutorial... have you watched it all?
installed the free version on a windows pc and when I opened the program it killed ALL the sound on my computer...no sound from videos, wavs, windows sound library no sound of any kind. whatta great program eh. went to that place where u choose the sound and tried windows sound and realtek asio and still no sound. closed pro tools and the sound came back.
thats how pro tools audio engine works. youll have to output sound through a different source or try to figure out asio4all.
i never use this daw before, butt i get why they say its the best and that the pro studios use it this daw looks sick wow.
Why when I first load into pro tools an create a new file it’s my screen is blank? An when I go to windows it’s just files by there self
Every time i launch Pro Tools, all of my plugins need to be scanned individually - and this takes forever. Is this normal?
There's no I/O tab on any of my tracks how can I add it?
go to window, then click edit window views
Where can you find samples clips for free?
Anywhere on the internet which applies 'Creative Commons' license.
I sped the video up x1.5 and it was much better.
bro when i try to choose a output its says object 1 - 17 what do i do
i bought focusrite, got 3 months pro tools but i dont understand any of it and it doesnt look exactly like yours
I HOPE SHE BECOME A STAR
Thanks a lot!
Thank you :)
@@bai you’re welcome
so here's my problem I knew how to use pro tolls but I disliked it and been using Logic Pro and forgot using pro tools, so now I need help remembering how to
My session does not open like that its showing my desktop "MacBook pro laptop user"
Hmm, I might switch from Audition to this.
For some reason I don’t have the i/o section in my pro tools. I have the free version of pro tools and that might be the problem but I’m not sure.
This is not a problem. It is simply hidden. Show all options, it will come out.
🙏🏼
I’m about to cry . I’m tired of taking audio production 😩
Hey!!!....Why??
howdy you stop the ticking sound when an audio is playing
You shall disable the 'metronome' located on top.
seriously i learned from video games the best tutorial a lockin timers tooltips for concording explanations, it is the best way to learn ingrained mechanism and no other option can you teach you better protool has a audio drivers deactivators so forgot about checking a tutorial and checking in the programs the functionalities in realtime with the tutorial timelines, you cant navigate youtube or the internet or video media player on your own computer, i get it its legality based ownerships copyrighted content laws but its a pain to navigate, especially for someone has hyper active as myself wanting to learn realtime
i have a problem, when i click play, it doesn't play any fixes?
Changing the buffer size in the settings for playback engine fixed it for me.
Disgustingly bad UI for such an expensive software subscription. Industry Standard my 🍑. Needs to banned from Studios and replaced with Logic Pro X. Cubase Pro also needs to be banned.

We cut spaces to speed up the video accordingly, following the actual standards. If you noticed that, you sure have great ears man :)
Em português língua 😅
Nah, my music tech teacher didn't teach me anything about this
I will go to a non protools channel to learn how to actually navigate the system.
We are not an official channel of Pro Tools.
My advice, avoid Avid's tortuous and ineffectual explainers and get someone with pro tools to talk you through it.
i dont see the i/o
FUCK YEAHHH IM HELPING MY GILR AVERY RAYE
Dose anybody have a protools account I can use😭
Oh brooo I don’t like the way it looks, I guess it’s a new daw I’ll have to get used to😂
why is the music awful? everything else is great
It seems pretty easy to use. Ableton is a bitch
A daw with a subscription? Lol no thnx
I just wanted to know why I don't see the faders in my view and this horrible video didn't show that 1A tip. How is this even possible, the faders is the main thing of a mixers. God what I hate incompetent people!!!!!
Fl studio is better
😂😂😂😂
not a very good tutorial, did not show how to record from scratch
terrible video...including the oldschool DMV instructional video voice.
We are sorry for this, we will improve.
You explained it better than my teacher
Thank you very much!
pro tools seem like too much work for what is everthing from ilok key too doing a download of there software
Yep ilok is outdated trash. They go to such far lengths to stop piracy. It's literally an educational software. Idk why they gatekeep music production so badly.

Great video. Thanks a lot!
so helpful--thank you!
