hey man !!! sick video !! one thing that surprised me is why not use a compressor on back ground vocals busses ?? you do all your proccessing on bgv tracks no bus ?
Hi Astred! I do most of my BGV processing on a bus, however, I like to do my dynamic processing specifically on the individual tracks. I like to have each background vocal pretty "locked in place" so that I can get really solid consistent stack relationships and so that the imaging doesn't dart around from left to right. Multi mono compression on a bus is a quick and dirty way to keep the latter in check, but it's still not as good.
I don't use Pro Tools but I'm still going to watch as I'll be bound to learn something I can apply to my own situation. Watching someone use their skills is intrinsically interesting.
Even if you aren't using Pro Tools, setting up some of these methods will make tracking much smoother. I just might not know how to do it in other DAWs... but if I know anything about Pro Tools, chances are any other DAW had the capability to do all of these things long before Pro Tools did LOL
Great tips! Just one addition - ready to have your world rocked!? Try your clip gain example WITHOUT doing the split. This changed everything - Clip Gain everywhere without the need to split clips!
The only reason I don't like to do that is because you don't get the gain info in the lower left of the region. But it's true, you don't need to split.
excellent again! I'm a nerd who likes reading the manuals, so I know (and use) most of these already, but there were definitely a few surprises in the bunch that will save me gobs of time over the coming years. And even though you confessed the "click-bait-ey-ness" of the video, it was totally worth it. Not only for the info, but I was geeking over the awesome colour of the mic :-) I used to own a custom Hamer Californian in seafoam green. Never should have traded it out....ah...memories.
Wow what an excellent presentation and with useful info to back it up. The command drag down tip and using a separate record track is really interesting. Question say your recording a vocalist and they want to really focus on getting a specific part recorded. I would usually create a vocal comp by loop recording and comping playlists. It works pretty well for me. My question is would you do something similar? Is there a better way to do this utilizing your record track method? Sorry for the over complicated question.
Not overcomplicated at all - it's a great question. Everyone has a different process. For some people running a take again and again and again to get a comp is necessary. I generally try to avoid doing this because it makes the playlists complicated, but for some vocalists it's necessary. Another way to do this is to just let the track run and have them continue repeating the phrase again and again in real time rather than on a playlist. Doesn't always work if the track is changing chords between phrases, but sometimes we can get away with it.
300 samples at 44.1 kHz is about 6.8 ms (just did the math). Makes sense! Supposedly 6ms is the smallest amount of time most people discern as a difference. I was always switching between 1 and 10 ms for my nudge amounts via the key command. Good tip. But, why command + number for tools? Just use the function keys! F 1- F4 for modes, F 5-8 for tools, any two of the latter for smart tool.
Most of this stuff is very easy to do in Reaper. I've only used Reaper a couple of times, but honestly, it's a f'ing killer DAW. People sleep because the price point is low.
During recording in pro tools my record missing high notes. Do you have any idea, how to fix this big problem for me. I'll be really appreciate. Thanks
Does anyone know if there is a way to control multiple instances of the same plugin in Presonus Studio One? I believe that there are some similarities between Pro Tools and Studio One so I thought it worth asking.
As far a I know, only if they are on the same channel. You can set up a macro to control multiple parameters on multiple plugins but only if they are on the same channel/track. But I'm sure there is someone smarter than me who also uses Studio One, like Marcus or Gregor who may have a better answer for you.

There is something about your delivery that is impossible not to love
Thanks Joey, it took years of practice to sound this nasal LOL

Dude! 20 years in PT and I STILL learned stuff from this! Thanks so much!
I learn new stuff about PT all the time, and I started on PT in 2003... so yea about 20 years.
Recently moved to Pro Tools and these tips would really help speed up my tracking process!
Thanks Matthew!
Brooo . . the insert groups . . HUGE!! Thanks so much great content in this video
Yea, massive time saver. Thanks Mike!

Mos def gunna try that group setting for plug ins, and using 2 record tracks when tracking will use next session forsure
Right on!
one of the best channels out here for us. 🔥
Thanks Mitch!
Very informative. Thank you for covering these elements in Pro Tools.
Thanks Steve!
This is a Dope video for sure just learned a few new things thanks bro!
Great!
Excellent video!
Useful stuff! Thanks.
Always great stuff!
Thanks Andrew!
You videos are fantastic. Great very helpful content.. Love your channel! 🙂👍👍👍
Advanced stuff. Thanks 👍

As much of a badass as I am in PT, I often forget some of the things I used to do that made things simpler. Thanks for the reminder!
That's what I'm here for!
Dang these helped so much
Happy to help!
Thanks!!

Well.. the math checks. I don't know - I always use the command + number, just how I learned it I guess.
Awesome! Now to figure out how to do it all in Reaper :D
Most of this stuff is very easy to do in Reaper. I've only used Reaper a couple of times, but honestly, it's a f'ing killer DAW. People sleep because the price point is low.
@@WeissAdvice Yeah Reaper's nuts, I love it. It has a few eccentricities but the customization and scripting support is insane.
I’d be down to do some Logic Pro x tutorials
When I'm ready to start expanding I'll put out the APB and check you out. Do you have a channel of your own now?
During recording in pro tools my record missing high notes. Do you have any idea, how to fix this big problem for me. I'll be really appreciate. Thanks
could I get this template please
Bars!
During recording in pro tools my vocal start recording very high and long notes, but than stop recording, i have empty space
Does anyone know if there is a way to control multiple instances of the same plugin in Presonus Studio One? I believe that there are some similarities between Pro Tools and Studio One so I thought it worth asking.
My buddy Marcus is a Studio One guru. Once he gets back to me I'll drop the comment on how to do it, assuming someone else doesn't get here first.
As far a I know, only if they are on the same channel. You can set up a macro to control multiple parameters on multiple plugins but only if they are on the same channel/track.

Gregor just posted this on groups.

#1 ProTools hack: use Reaper or StudioOne. 🙃
LOL - true
