Kill that background music after a short while and you got a perfect vid.

Lil tip that I don’t see anyone talking about: I figured out if you have a UAD interface, you can use the console app, turn up your vocal monitor fader to 0 so the client hears themselves in real time, mute the record track on ProTools and you don’t have to play with the buffer size.

@10:44 remember to hold down CTRL when you drag to the track/playlist so it stays locked in time

Mad seeing one of your videos from only 5 years ago, but then realising how far you have come on this journey Andrew. Thanks for the Pro Tools tips

[MikeCurleyMikesLegion]

This video reminds me of how much SoundFlow has changed my life. Tons of great ideas for macros in here. Thanks!

Grouping changes your workflow. Saves you so much time

Honestly the background music was absolute awesome. Kept me hooked till the end cause I was just jamming to it.

I love your channel, Andrew. You’re in my top 5 (maybe top 3) recording/mixing/mastering YouTube channels. It’s you, Graham, Colt, Joe, and Warren. Keep rocking, brother. Thanks for providing such valuable content.

Great advice! I knew the vertical fit command, but had missed the option a horizontal one. Totally forgot about it.

One thing I like to do slightly different is on the playlist duplicate. I name the track something like “Lead Vocal” then the first thing I do is duplicate the track. Pro Tools will automatically add a “.01” to the track name. This is when I start recording, making the .01 take 1 .02 is take 2 etc. Then at the end, when I’m ready to comp, I go back to the original playlist that doesn’t have a number and that becomes my comp track. Pretty close to what he says to do, just a few less steps

Great video and tips. One thing was on you were a little off on the hardware buffer setting. Lowering the hardware buffer means the processor has to work “much harder” to keep up with the demand and has little room to buffer the processing.
You can think of it like a assembly line where someone puts a widget on your table then you box it. With small buffer its one person handing one widget at a time to your table and you boxing it. If one worker lags or you lag the process is messed up.
A large buffer you can have more widgets loading on one table while you box them. This is the basic function of all computers (memory, cpu slices, etc). That is why plugs kill the comp on low buffer settings. Also another tip is if you are looking for a low latency as possible, record at a higher sample rate. I record at 96 and I can run my buffer down to 32.

Great tutorial and I will be paying attention. I've had 5 years experience with 10 and fifteen years working in and around Pro Tools studios. Soon will be moving up to latest version but I've not yet run out of things to learn and perfect as it is. You make things clear. Thank you - WA state
