Great content thank you for explaining it so I can understand much appreciated glad I found your page I love the no nonsense you get straight to it. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love this💗💗
Good video, and good tip, Cato. Lots and lots of little things Pro Tools can do that can save time or make workflows easier. I especially liked the "bonus content". Awesome.
thanks! ^_^
Super helpful. I guess I never knew that the other DAWs I had learned were already doing solo safe for bus and aux tracks automatically. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you !
Very knowledgeable. Thanks for the shortcuts insight
Sure thing, glad to help! Thanks for watching 😊
Subbed to your channel a week ago. Very glad I did. You teach in a way that I understand.
Awesome, thanks for the sub! Glad to have you here, and I hope my videos help sometimes!
@@CatoNoise They most certainly will! Don't even worry about.
Great video! Another quick tip is right-clicking (control-click mac) the I/O on tracks and auxes allows you to rename your busses to "DRUMS" instead of "Bus 1-2" so routing is easier to keep track of.
you're awesomeeeee!
Awesome. Really helpful tip!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! 😊
I love you thanks you solutions me a terrible problem thanks you
Thanks for that!
Sure thing! Thanks for hanging out on my channel 🙂
really useful💗
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! 😊
thanks you saved me
Cate has been that lady who can teach the simplest of the simplest things which most of those big time composers miss on, and very effectively in an understandable manner. I can quote the videos like stems, how to do Background film mixing and their challenges and many for that matter. She is so simple and humble enough to understand any project and is wide open to the world asking for reviews and feedback even for her personal website which she herself designed.
I really love the way she handles the Music and Teaching.
Cheers,
JG
wow, thank you so much!
Thank you Cate!!!
Thank you wonderful
Glad to help, thanks for hanging out!
newbee here thanks a bunch. I was trying to figure out why a tom sound would still come through no matter what channel i would solo. It was solo safed thanks !!!
Thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for hanging out!
Thank you ! I've accidentaly do it on a track and it give me crazy because it wont solo... Thank you !
Oh, yeah, it'll get ya if you're not careful! Glad to help ^_^
THANKYOU i had some things safe muted it was driving me crazy
Is there a way to turn off all of the solo safes at once with a key command?
Can you solo effects?
Thumbs up to you! Is there a way to solo safe two aux tracks at the same time? Thank you.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Hrm, I don't know if there is a way to solo safe two at once: I always just use that command clicking shortcut. I'm not in front of the computer right now, but maybe if you held shift or option in addition to clicking while you have multiple track nameplates highlighted? Or if you group the tracks? Although, that might cause more annoyance later on than it's worth, and something tells me those modifier keys wouldn't work for this function for some reason - but I'm not sure if I've ever tried it! I'll have to try it out; let me know if you figure it out, cheers!
@@CatoNoise Thank you!
Thank u! Now I'm more confused.
Oh no! Do you know what part still has you confused?
Quick question. Let's say you have several AUX tracks. For example, one for drums, one for vocals, and one for guitars, and each AUX track is in solo safe mode. Then 1 more AUX track that is a master mix bus to which the drum, vocal and guitar aux's feed and it is also in solo safe mode. In other daw's with this setup you can solo the AUX tracks. In Protools 2022, this doesn't seem to work. If you try and solo an AUX track that is in solo safe mode (for example say you want to hear just the drums and guitars through those two AUX tracks) it doesn't work. I guess you can just use the backwards approach and mute the AUX tracks you don't want to hear. That gives you the same result but takes more steps. What am I missing?
Yeah, that's kind of how it is. I'll sometimes either mute the aux tracks I don't want to hear, like you suggested. Or, I'll also group the original audio/instrument tracks based on instrument and then solo those by clicking solo on one of them. It's not the best, but does the same thing.
TIL: cmd+shift+g: all this time! going to manually deactivate the group. oh really like the new video format, more personable!
Thanks! That's good to hear ^_^
nice video...also you have beautiful eyes
Thank you so much! And thanks for hanging out!
