A couple of simple Pro-Tools tips that are not completely obvious and are super helpful<\/p>\n
1- Import session data is your friend<\/strong><\/p>\n Build up a library of channel strips and effects chains and save them as templates. This can be a massive time saver and a go-to inspiration bank! <\/p>\n 2- Sends as a fader mode<\/strong><\/p>\n I giggled like a school girl when i first saw this! Right click on a send in the mix window and select “that”. Now you can see the levels of everything being sent to your aux<\/p>\n 3- Use memory locations to make your bounces exactly the same length<\/strong><\/p>\n These are super handy for marking out sections of the song, but theres more to them than just that. Set a “Start” and “End” markers so that all your bounces are exactly the same length… just click ‘Start”, hold down shift and click “End” <\/p>\n 4- Use the quick switch to slip mode when in Grid mode<\/strong><\/p>\n Next time you’re paisting something on the grid and you need to give it a little off grid nudge, hold down Ctrl\/Command to temporarily suspend the snap to grid<\/p>\n 5- Change the auto save frequency to 1 min! <\/strong><\/p>\n How often have you crashed and thought “oh $h!t, can’t remember if i saved!” Auto save takes the stress away, but the default time is to save every 5 mins.
