Just want to add my profound thanks for your lecture series.
I am a mature student with minimal digital skills, and Pro Tools seemed like a impossible hurdle.
However, you have been a huge help in getting started with recording and I am so grateful.
I have watched them all several times, (making detailed notes) and I can now use my home recording equipment, slowly, but with minimal stress , to produce course work.
You're a star!!
Thank You so much Jason. I am 63 taking this new but fun journey. I have a computer tech background and was looking for an inexpensive to record my beginner Accoustic Drum sections and varuous gutiars and bass. My youngest son is a producer so I always wanted to delve in music production. I didnt wanted to expend a lots of money so I got the Focusrite Scartlett Solo interface that included Pro Tools First and Ableton Live 10. I look for I got familiar with the Navigation Windows in Ableton first before attacking Pro Tools. I found many tutorials on Mixing and Mastering and EQ and compression but not on recording. So finally found you and thank you a million for sharing this basic tutorials just exactly what I needed. I intend to become an student as soon as possible. Thank you for your kindness in sharing with the world your Passion.

Hey Jason, I am freshly out of the burner and clueless. I got to say, these lessons are awesome, and really helpful. I feel like I can do some damage with just the first four lessons I watched! Thank you so much for sharing that wealth of knowledge. As a musician, It felt right to get the wheel rolling faster and build my own little studio to do my own production. You know what they say, if you want something done right you got to do it yourself. Well, I am in that boat now, and feel I have the know how to at least get my tracks recorded.
Probably the least boring and most high quality online lectures I've seen, thank you so much for these.
Yep...definitely agree with everyone who has commented about how helpful, useful and well done these videos are. Thank you SO much for posting and sharing. VERY much appreciated indeed.
Excellent Jason. Thank you so much for your flawless step-by-step teaching which makes me to love and learn Pro Tools.
I am just a beginner.
I am thankful that these vids are out there
Another great video,probably the best pro tools for beginners series on you tube.
Great job Jason, I know Pro Tools is a very complicated program but the way you explain it makes everything easy to understand. Keep the tutorials coming!
Ryan Schrader Hey Ryan. Cheers for that. Next one happening soon.
THANK YOU!!!! THIS IS THE BEST PRO TOOL TUTORIAL I SEEN YET!!!! Thanks seriously!!!
love this channel - much appreciated
Excellent training videos by you.
Totally the best Pro Tools tuition Jason, thank you, greetings from London UK
Great videos! I am attending the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in America and this is great to come home to after classes with pro tools and get the same info from another person as well. The info is delivered quick and easy to understand! You made a 3 hour class pass by in less then 20 mins, and included info that was not pointed out yet. Great job!

Hi Jason, these lessons are excellent both in terms of content and delivery. Thank you so much.
+special-photos Cheers for that. Lots more to come. Greetings from Sydney! Jase
And these are awesome by the way
Thanks a lot. I was searching for such explanation. I recorded multiple time but unable to control clipping and output is not professional but now hoping to do best from your next video.
HI your video tutorials are awesome and very thorough!! I was wondering if you had a lesson on playlists-specifically how you create one that is an alternate to the main track. Thank you so much if you have detailed directions on this.
Thanks heaps, it was very interesting & informative. I play guitar & am looking to start recording at home.
Coolio! Thanks for the comment.
Thank you
This is Studio college! Incredible!!
Hi there Jason, Just want to say thanks for this series. Can't wait for Ep 5. Doing my 4th year portfolio and it's great to understand Pro Tools as I don't freel comfortable on it !
You are Great sir, thanks a lot for your hard work and teaching, really appreciate for that. I subscribed your channel. so far from part 1- 4 they are clear to me no question yet,,
But it might be soon i will have some,,
Keep bringing us more tutorials..
Thank you
Thanks very much Edu. One day I WILL have time for Part 8!
Been using Cubase for years and now I've got Protools 11 for windows. About to start learning that and your videos and super helpful. Thank you so much for this!
No problems at all and thanks for the comment. The PC and Mac versions are the same with the exception of the shortcut/modifier keys, and there might be slight differences in Pro Tools 11 (I'm using version 10). Good luck with it all.
jason, thank you very much!
Hey if you click the waveform button you can see all the playlist takes you did from all the puch-in recordings you did and that will save you space instead of duplicating tracks.
Amazing 😉
One word awesome. I wish you were in USA.
AimTV!
thanks so much :-)
Great tutorial. How do your tracks have numbers assigned to them, when you didn't manually type them in?
hi sir you are a teacher nice one ... sir also please you have answers that answers intutive questions
Hi Jason, your tutorials are very much helpful to me . By the way, I have a doubt. While recording the karaoke track comes in my speakers instead of coming in my monitoring headphones. i expect a reply from you as soon as possible.
Hi Jason, thanks so much for all the great tutorials. I am really struggling to get pro tools to recognize my interface (alesis IO4). It won't even show up on the insert drop down menu of any track I create. I've already set it up on my computer from the control panel and the playback engine is on ASIO4all but still... nothing happens. Do you know what can I do? Thanks a lot!
Respect
I have a 3channel mixer that has 2 balanced xlr stereo outputs which feeds into my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. How would I go about recording lets say drums? The 3 channel mixer holds my kick mic, overhead left, and overhead right. Thanks and I really enjoy the tutorials!!!
Great vids. thanks. One thing, I don't get the setup windows when i launch the program. ie i cant set up bit rates, i/o's etc like you did in this video no4?? any comments??
Hi!! I'm very happy i found these videos and i'm still impressed of how helpful they are, right now i have a question about the click track and its uses, you explained that when you work with jazz music it's better not to use them, i would like to know why. As i don't have a lot of experience i would thank your help a lot, and, again, these videos are amazing, really interesting.
hi Barbara. In my experience, jazz musicians (and classical musicians too) prefer not to use click tracks. They find the strict tempo of a click off-putting and an interruption to "feel" of the performance. In jazz and classical pieces, players want the freedom to divert away from a set tempo in order to enhance some of the emotional aspects of the track (tension, mood etc). Hope that makes sense. Cheers from Jase
Thank you Jason, for your answer, i understand what you meant, and i really apreciate your answer and your work, I'm interested on aplying for the Aim courses. By the way, i am Antonio Lauro's granddaughter, he was a musician and classical composer, maybe you are familiar with some of his work, and, as you may spect, i wanna keep on the family business, Cheers!!!!
Hi Barbara. Be great to see you at AIM. And it would awesome to keep it all in family business!!
That is mass because it is neutral, this reveal une content that is empty and that can be fill it. I learning much with this videos for beginners.
I completely lost my Red icon where you would see it start to record. i.e. It starts playback 2 measures before the Red icon is located. Also when I hit the stop function and hit play again, it picks up where it left off instead of going back to where my cursor was. I turned on Protools one day and this is what it was like. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Fantastic! When will pt 5 be avail?
monkeyattackedmyass Cheers for the comment. Pt 5 is in the making right now.
So fucking emotionally charged piece of music!
Thank you so much, these videos are so helpful and useful to beginners like me! :D I only have one question: What did you do to eliminate the click track from getting in when you recorded the audio track? Hope i get an answer! Thanks again
This is a late reply but all you have to do is press the small "M" to the left of where your music will show up. It's the mute button
please advise me ,which is the better mic" focusrite cm25 2nd gen" or "at2020 "? ,thanks
I've got an:
Elite Core PPS-2 +48V Phantom Power Supply
Maybe this one answers my problems!
In 28:21, you recorded from the 4th compass, but started the music from the 1st compass. I tried to do it in the Protools 10 for Windows, and it did'nt work. Whenever I try to record from a specific compass, it does'nt start from before.
Is the quick punch no.3 button on the numeric keypad? Because pressing the 3 on my laptop (numbers across the top) doesn’t do anything...
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
31:00 haha this guy is great!
If not what qould you recommend a beginner?
How do you set up a count-in without having a click track playing? Like if I want to record something and only want the count to tell me when it starts recording, but not having the constant click track.
can you make a video on track punch. thank you
My pro tools duet is plugged into my computer, and my microphone is plugged into my duet.. but for the input, after you click interface, the only option is front left / front right (stereo), what do I do? Please help
I believe that I followed your steps, however there is no input signal getting to the Master Fader. At 22:20 your Master Fader has no input signal. Then when you come back at 22:21, it does?
i just tried the quick punch mode and am i the only one that struggles to avoid the 'click' on the buton going back to the recording mic? Might be good for a vocalist or whatever recording in another room but in the same room is quite tricky. Or perhaps i am missing something out.
how can i pull up another play back and record track..the main one that records your music
I have a USB condenser mic that doesn't plug into my interface. How would I get that to work in Pro Tools? Thanks in advance!
thank you alot its been very helpful (:
however i have a light problem i am not able to hear through my headphones what i recorded ? i am able to hear while i am recording but at the moment i finish and i want to hear the work i am unable ):
Two things to fix this. You can either take the track out of record mode, but this is not very efficient. A better way is to go the Track Menu and choose Auto Input Monitoring. This way you should be able to play back what you have just recorded. cheers from Jase.
what is the cheapest headphones for pro tools
shure sm58 should i have it on mono?
If someone can help : New to PT, I can't figure out how Jason has zoomed in that much into the "overall' user interface. Everything looks too small for my eyes & makes everything really difficult to work with... There's no way around to scale everything up ? (Searched Forums etc, no success...)
Thank so much for your videos ! finally someone putting these "beginners in depth guides" out for free ! Eveyone else puts a 3min video & say : "if you want more, click here to purchase my full 15min video for a 100 bucks only !" Thank You. Subbed
Very helpful, especially the punch in recording bit, but how about auto punch? There must be a way to do that. Invaluable if you're recording yourself.
Hi Bruce. Thanks for your comment. To auto punch, you make a selection with the Selection tool across the area that you wish to record in. Then you program a pre/post roll (open up the Transport window to set that up). Record Arm your track and press Record. The session will play for the duration of the pre-roll and then commence recording in the selected area. It will then punch out and continue playing for the duration of your post roll. Hope this makes sense. Cheers from Jase.
When do we get part 5?
HI. I GOOOT A JOB! but i am not a pro tools expert. Just now adobe audition, fl studio ad digitl performer. Buuut now thanks to you im able t take the job at the agency using pro tools !!! time to make money brrrr real g 4 life
Can someone tell me what it means to "drop in" or "drop out"? I'm not familiar with certain english expressions or names like this.
Hey. Just a quick question (hopefully). Just got Pro Tools 12 and I have followed all your tutorials (thank you by the way, very helpful). When I set an audio track, the microphone is not showing in the input section at all. I can use it outside of Pro Tools in any other Windows program and it works fine. How do I get this to show as my input in Pro Tools? It is a USB microphone by the way, but not a cheap one. I have downloaded ASIO4ALL but it did not help. Any suggestions? Thanks mate.
Never mind. Played around for a bit and got the mic to work. But there is no playback sound even though I can see the sound waves from the mic.
Sorry for the constant posts. I have worked out that if I go to Setup > Playback Engine and select "ASIO" I can record. However I have to then go to Setup > Playback Engine and select "Windows Audio Device" to hear it and play it back. There must be an easier way to flick between record and listen. Please help. Thanks heaps.
you're like the Bob Ross for ProTools
When I create a new track and put it in the edit window (I want to record my voice) I can't get it to go because it keeps saying *"the track could not be recorded because it doesn't have both an active input and output assigned"*. I don't know how to fix this because when I go to where it says: "no input" and click it, the word Interface does not light up. Then I go below that to Output 1-2 and I only have one choice which is Output 1-2 stereo or below that rows of buses. What I am supposed to choose? I've tried everything but can't get it going. I just got my interface and pro tools today, so this is all new to me. I'd love it if someone could advise me.
Ok, so now you have a I/O issue that can be fixed, but its tricky to relay this in words. You need to tell Pro Tools you have some inputs on your system. You need to go Setup> I/O and create paths on the "input" tab. They should correspond to the inputs your audio interface uses. Hope this helps.
Thanks Jason. I was actually able to fix it, but it took a long time to figure it out. On this latest Pro Tools you have to select Pro Tool Aggregate" for your audio Input and Output. Then check sub boxes that come up where you specify which interface (or interfaces) to use. That's when I select Scarlett Solo for in and out. Then I have my lit Interface on the input button and I can select the interface. I figured this out totally by accident, after trying everything else!
