This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on this subject: concise, straight to the point and you explain the various tools and how to get to them very clearly.
This was a really great overview. I had no clue how to navigate ProTools before (I'm very new to it, coming from Audition) and now I can move around and not be intimidated by it. Thanks!
Im considering migration from Audition, too. I'm a bit scary because I have been using Adobe for last decade. What is your experience? Is it worth it to changer habits? In Audition I can use my iMac and MacBook with one subscription - is it the same with Pro Tools? Also I'm a radio spots producer. I think that Audition is simpler than Pro Tools is main task, what is your opinion?
@@AlanPavletta So since then, I decided to focus all my efforts on Resolve, so I will be switching to Fairlight, which is part of Resolve. But I know the filmmaking industry (at least in Hollywood) is powered by ProTools. So it depends what and where you want to wok at.
Randy this is great stuff! I’ve been teaching myself Logic Pro but every tutorial on UA-cam seems to be music centered and I just want to do straightforward voice over stuff. Watching your video makes me want to take the leap to Pro Tools. For clarification, are you saying the free version of PT is all I need? Will my Fabfilter bundle move over to the free version? Many thanks.
Thanks for watching! I don't see a limitation with adding plug-ins for the free version, but I also haven't tried. It seems like the biggest difference between free and paid are: number of tracks, project length. So you might still be able to use your plugins. You can give it a try since it's free. But you can also check out this link on Avid's site that shows a comprehensive comparison between the different versions. www.avid.com/pro-tools/comparison
Thank you! Yes, we have an update to this video with some more plugin information. This video may also be useful for you ua-cam.com/video/h-VIs9WDYWM/v-deo.html
After using strip silence, how do i shuffle everything to the left without having to do it one clip at a time? Having a hard time with this, and it's the only thing keeping me from using Pro tools as my main voiceover DAW
I've heard a lot of talent using it. I believe one of our coaches (Gary Terzza) uses Twisted Wave, and I'm sure many do. He has a fantastic UA-cam channel. I don't have any experience with it, but I'd love to check it out! -Randy
I'm switching to pro tools from Audacity because many of the plug ins dont work (waves) on Audacity. I think this will also help me with podcasting. Thanks!!!
Here’s the thing: I just suffered a massive computer crash. Completely lost my old ProTools template, lost access to all my old audio files and am struggling to rebuild my template. Been so long I cannot remember the settings. I’m loving your tutorial but your ProTools looks and acts WAY different than mine. I must have an older version or something
Sorry to hear about the crash, that sounds awful. In the future, you can also back up a session template to a cloud storage service or external hard drive. It may be a different version. -Randy
@@voices Thanks, Randy. Between your video and a couple others, I was able to rebuild my suite and started recording again just today. Gonna be much more careful about my backups from now on. Cheers!
Thanks for Video ,can you tell the way how can i just using shortcuts can be move track up or down to another track ,you know like in cubase .keyboard arrow
Interesting, I think [Control + p] and [Control + ;] will move a selection up and down. I know p a ; by themselves will move your selected area. Hope this helps! -Randy
Outside is a tough sound to replicate as there are little to no reflections. You can start by removing some low and high frequencies to eliminate the proximity effects caused by close mic'ing. Hope this helps -Randy
Hey Anthony. Generally speaking, people in your situation who aren't seeing any bookings are being blocked by one of two things. This is almost always the case. It's either audio quality or audition amount. It's very rare for someone to be meeting both of those thresholds and still not booking. I'd suggest listening to some of our top talent on our leaderboard. If you audio truly stacks up to theirs (proximity, room noise, compression, total amplitude), then we can rule out audio. Then it comes down to effort. Most talent will start to book gigs between 50-100 auditions submitted. After that, the bookings speed up as you'll build a client-base and have reviews to show for your abilities. You've got this. Hope this helps! -Randy
There's a guy called 'George the Tech' who can do a free sound check of your space. He did mine and he helped with mic placement, the noise floor, etc.
Hope you're having a great day! -Randy
@@MrAnonymous46 Hey! We don't have any audio recording software available for download on our website.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Happy to know that it felt useful for you. -Randy
Hey Randy, I too am a die-hard ProTools fan. Excellent tutorial, keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank You Randy ... You Videos are Very Informative and Helpful.
You are very welcome! -Randy

Terrific video! Are there more on topics like the use of common voice over plugins?

Thanks my dear brother ❤🎉 Jai shree ram ji ❤️💪🙏
Hi Randy, how about twistedwave for voiceover? What do you think? Pros , cons etc… please , thanks 🙏

@@voices thanks Randy, good to know ppl are actively using Twistedwave. Hope you can do a video on it someday…
Hi Randy…question…are u using a Mac or pc?..if Mac what o.s. are u running?
This was on a Mac, and likely during the time of recording, the latest MacOS was Ventura.
Cool…thanks for getting back to me…I’m still running Catalina …was wondering if it’s safe now to upgrade??…lol

Absolutely! The free version of ProTools is fully-featured for VO work. It's a great option, especially for the price (and no subscriptions)! -Randy
@@voices Thank you sir
Why does the Focusrite need to be so difficult to work with pro tools! I cannot get the inputs and outputs right.
ProTools' I/O is the most dated and frustrating thing in the world. Once it's set, it's usually really great, but the I/O sends me for a loop. -Randy
@@voices Thanks Randy! To get it to work, I changed from a USB -> C cable to a C->C Cable and that fixed all my issues!
Oh, beautiful! So glad to hear. -Randy
How do I add a video for lip sync dubbing?
its not available in the free version of protools (protools intro), starts from protools studio

Thna you for the video, I got stuck because ProTools does not detect my mic,

hello my friend ..can you tell how to make voiceover sound like outside ?

i didnt get shit, do that do this whats the purpose huh? and you said beginner voice over
Can you please re-shoot this video? I really find your stuff informative but you talk, so goddamn fast that even pausing the video doesn’t help.
0.5x playback speed on UA-cam may be your best bet.
