These are the most informative and helpful kinds of videos, the stuff you know as a beginner would immediately stop you in your tracks even though the solutions tend to be simple in nature. Thank you so much for uploads like this bro, much appreciated.

thank you for sharing your knowledge! What if the synth button (other of massive) it doesn't have options with the right click. I can't assign the MPK knobs to the software. Synthcell is the virtual instrument that comes with the protools. thanks again!

Great Video !! Can you please tell us how you use MPC Beats on Protools. And how to download the MPC beats plugin for protools.

How do you setup and play old school synths (Juno 106) (and their sounds) out of Pro Tools through 5pin connection? Thx

hi how do i connect a guitar with xpand?

Good video all day... I'm trying to find out if if Akai Mpk supports HUI.. I recently upgraded to Protools Artist, and the M Audio Axiom worked fine with Protools 8 Le but not with the new Protools version. I want to purchase an Akai MPK but only if I can control my transport and faders

[jsfbay]

So what about the Pro Tools Setup -> Peripherals -> Midi Controllers? What do I put there? The choice for controller type does not include Akai, only "None", "Command8", "HUI", "Surround Panner", "M-Audio Kbd", and "Komplete Kontrol." So how do I setup my Akai controller keyboard here? No one has said anything about this yet... Thank you for all your help to others, if you can help me figure out what I'm supposed to put in here, I'd really be very happy.

[AAAAnonymus]

Great Video! Would love to see your peripheral controls. I have a windows laptop and an akai mpk mini. I just seem to get the setup right! Loved your video btw, you're a great teacher!

I don't know anything about midi but I need to learn since I bought avid carbon. Which midi controller (49 keys) should I buy which will connect easiest with pro tools 2021. Info will be much appreciated. Thanks

[lazzohrusovsky]

Hey Dezavi, great video! I am a complete newbie with ProTools, could you please give me some directions on how to properly setup I/O to hear my MIDI Keystation MK3 in my headphones when using ProTools? Thank you very much

[ScipioBassist]

hi Dezavi, thanks for Pro Tools MIDI Controllers Part 1 & P.2, very informative! Can you please post a video with the same set-up but using the knobs of the controller for volume & pan. I'm told it's easy using the controller in final mixes for panning, volume & EQ automation? Can you please help

[hornsmiami]

Is it possible to use the play/rec buttons from the controller to control playback and record on Pro Tools?
