Pro tools 9 vocal recording




















Always use a pop filter to prevent this problem. The proximity effect is an increase in bass or low-frequency response when a sound source is close to a microphone. Your ultimate goal is to get a good-quality recording the first time, to avoid a lot of damage control in the mix later. The most common problems in vocal recording come from bad microphone techniques, especially from plosives and proximity effect. For this recording, you should use a condenser microphone in cardioid.

For some reason, the first time I tried this in PT9 it wouldn't let me collect anything, but after that, it worked as expected. For more advanced video work, though, you'll want to add the Complete Production Toolkit 2, which enables HD features such as multiple up to 64!

Assigning a VCA fader to multiple audio tracks in your mix allows you to raise or lower their levels simultaneously with one fader move. The benefits of working in this way may seem subtle at first, but can be substantial in practice.

Here, I have two guitar tracks, each of which has its own volume automation graph. These tracks are, in turn, assigned to a Mix Group controlled by the VCA track below, which has a further layer of automation. The blue lines show the resulting composite automation graph for each track. Hand in hand with VCA groups comes a slew of advanced automation features, again available for the first time in a native system thanks to the Complete Production Toolkit 2.

These are too many and too complex to describe in full here, but include various useful ways to write multiple layers of automation for a single fader, which can later be 'coalesced' to a single curve, plus support for snapshot automation, where settings for the entire Pro Tools mixer, or any subset of its parameters, can be stored and recalled for individual sections of a Session. Again, most of these features were introduced or updated in Pro Tools HD 7.

Also included as standard are the more powerful version of the Digibase browser, complete with Catalogs, and the Export Session as Text option. Oh, and remote control of Avid's PRE mic preamps is now universal as well, though I don't suppose there are many of these about in native systems. Pro Tools 9 is an unusual update, in that nearly all of its 'new' features aren't new at all. Admittedly, support for ASIO and Core Audio is a deal that's about as big as they come, but apart from that, almost everything was already there in HD.

In practice, this is not an issue unless you need to use large sample libraries, but it probably needs to happen soon. At a stroke, they have removed almost all the frustrations afflicting the many users who wanted or needed to belong to the Pro Tools world, but lacked the budget to go HD. The same is not likely to be true of HD users, though.

Unless you want to take advantage of the ability to run a native Pro Tools rig when away from the studio, there's almost nothing in Pro Tools 9 HD that wasn't in 8. I do better work in it, and I do it faster. Avid's pricing positions it squarely in the DAW pack: around the same as the full versions of Cubase and Digital Performer and slightly dearer than Logic Pro or Sonar, though if anything, it's perhaps the much cheaper and highly customisable Reaper that can most closely match Pro Tools' functionality.

Each of its rivals can boast features that the basic Pro Tools 9 lacks, but the reverse is also true; this is no longer 'crippleware', but a very powerful tool. While the Core Audio implementation appears pretty solid, ASIO support in Pro Tools 9 still feels a little immature, both in comparison with other applications such as Cubase, and with Avid's own hardware drivers. If you're planning on using a Windows system, check carefully that your preferred audio hardware works properly: the AIR Users' Blog maintains an unofficial list at www.

But it's already very usable with the right interfaces, and this is such an important and central issue that I'm sure Avid and other manufacturers will be working to improve it. In other respects, Pro Tools 9 is remarkably free of bugs and teething troubles, because so much of its functionality has already been tried and tested in the HD world.

Having used Pro Tools 9, I'm no longer sceptical about Avid's new corporate openness. In fact, it's exciting to speculate about where it might lead next. VST and Audio Units support? The release of an open RTAS software development kit?

Macro support? Full session compatibility with other DAWs? If enough of us say we want it, there's a good chance Avid will implement it. Until then, I'm off for a skate on the River Styx However, there are one or two neat additions that weren't in Pro Tools 8, and a couple of them are really useful.

Top of my list is the 'New Track' routing option that appears when you click on a track send or output slot right. Now you can do it all in one go. Select New Track, and Pro Tools will not only ask you what sort of track you want to create, but automatically assign an unused bus to it, and rename that bus into the bargain. And, of course, the usual Pro Tools shortcuts apply, so holding down Alt will route all tracks or sends to the new track, and Shift-Alt will route all outputs or sends on selected tracks.

Easy peasy. It would be better still if you got the option to automatically solo-safe the new track — perhaps that can be added in a later update. On the subject of shortcuts, in previous versions of Pro Tools, when you wanted to create a new Playlist on a track, you had to click on a tiny arrow icon in its Edit window track header. Since this is something you need to do often when overdubbing, it was a pain in the neck, and mercifully Avid have now added a keyboard shortcut for 'Create New Playlist on Selected Track'.

Harder to evaluate, but probably more important in the scheme of things, is support for the EuCon protocol. This, as far as Pro Tools users are concerned, is the first fruit of Avid's purchase of Euphonix, and adds welcome new possibilities for hardware control of Pro Tools.

I don't have either, sadly, so was not able to test the EuCon support myself, though I've seen Pro Tools running with a System 5 MC at industry events. I'm sure it won't be long before there is more choice.
