As a fresh Pro Tools user your videos are gold. Thank you very much. Hope you're having a great day.

This is probably the best video I've learned from! I mean I follow all your videos. But understanding transients and how to edit them (and not all of them! but hey everyone will have a slip on that downbeat) as well as how to duplicate a whole section in a track. I often record something and I am like "man that chorus needs to be doubled!" or the break needs to be longer. And you've already recorded some good tracks. So thank you for this!

When I edit I generally turn the grid to a sixteenth or thirty-second subdivision, depending on the track tempo, and as long as a note is within half a subdivision of where I want it, I consider it good enough. I almost never try to move things directly onto the beat.

Warren Huart , even as a Cubase 8 user I still loved watching this to see how very detailed you are with your editing. I really think that this kind of attention to detail elevates the entire track. You're totally right about working within the groove too, it's so easy to just get stuck aligning to the grid and then you end up with something that just doesn't bounce. Great job!

Hi Howard Hedger thanks very much! I really appreciate your positive attitude! Yes I know as a non Pro Tools user it's great to hear you understand that I'm demonstrating basic techniques! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

Well color me corrected. I should have known you knew way more than I ever will. I just want to say that I still learn from your PT instructions. And I really love your videos cause I always learn something I didn't know and I'm not trying to be a downer I just am not a PT fan, it's a preference. I have heard from producers I know that to upgrade to PT 12, I believe, is very expensive. For me getting my studio set up with Logic Pro, Apollo 8P, Mic's, monitors etc was expensive enough. You're the best Warren and I always gleen something from every video I've seen and I really appreciate it. More than I can tell you, it's truly a blessing to have your mentor ship. God Bless You Warren Huart!!!

Hi, I use < to move into slip, grid, etc. Thanks, pretty useful video!

Thanks for sharing Warren, though we do not have Pro Logic the techniques can be applied, all the best.

Hey Warren, thought you fell off the grid there (sort of speaking...) Great video! I appreciate someone that is so very proficient with the tools they use showing me some tips and tricks! I've always said, "You can't teach someone how to use something until you excel and spend many years using it yourself!" Thanks for taking the time to make these videos! Keep up the good work! Cheers!!! Danny.

Very useful video, I put these to my favourites, so I can watch it again when I'll try out Pro Tools. The function to put a piece of audio back to its original position is super handy! Kinda like a permanent undo for this - very clever. Studio One has a function where you can move the audio inside of a clip, without having to move the clip itself. Quite useful, I use it more and more. For instance, when you want to move a certain part of a recording a little further back, you make two cuts, but then you don't need to move the clip itself, just the audio inside the clip. Many thanks, David

Cheers Warren, Always a pleasure soaking up all of this information that you've kindly shared with us netizens. You've really saved me a few times during some critical sessions with clients. Truly grateful! I'm currently in South Korea to record a few artists' records and there's one minor issue that I feel would save a lot of time if knew the remedy--Re-arranging sections in a complicated mix. Sometimes the artist will ask to switch their verse with another artist on the same track. I was wondering how you'd go about switching the regions around without it getting too messy and confusing. I still don't know how to use Spot mode very well, and I finally learned what Relative Grid does, from this video. Would these be applicable to the situation? My current method of switching sections around is cutting from my location markers on the grid. Sometimes that leaves stray tail ends of other sections. Do you know of a cleaner technique? Thanks in advance!

Hi Cha Cha Malone great question! Firstly and most importantly I would definitely do a save session as before trying any major edits, so that way you can always go back to the original session. You should be able to cleanly cut and paste sections, if you remove a section on the grid in shuffle mode everything will butt up together. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

Hey Warren, it would be very helpful if you could put keyboard shortcuts (Windows) in the description

What a lesson Warren!! Thanks!!

Hi Gustavo Justus do Amarante thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

Hi Warren, another well done and concise video. I have a question that probably has a simple answer, which i haven't been able to find anywhere. You answer quickly and straight to the point so i thought i'd ask you. Apologies if you've covered it somewhere else. I'm obviously new to PT, and i'd like to know the easiest way to transfer sessions between my laptop and desktop. I know about the "save session in" and including all audio files, but what then? Do i email it to myself and open it on the other computer or is there something i'm missing? I don't use an external hard drive. Any help would be great, and i apologize for something thats probably simple, but i can't find a simple answer anywhere. Thanks for everything you're doing on your channel. The transferring of files and sessions might be a good topic for a video!

Hi DistortionBlues 44 thanks for the great question. I would strongly suggest using an external hard drive, it will really help you! Otherwise yes you will have to probably email yourself the session or put it on DropBox or the Cloud if you either of them. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

Had a question! Do you ever have issues with the DI being ahead/behind the mic'd track? I assume you simply line them up before editing? Also was wondering if you can do a guitar editing video using elastic audio? Thanks

I'm just seeing this from 5 years ago, but it reminds me how glad I am not to be using ProTools ever again. It doesn't deserve to be "industry standard," in fact, there shouldn't even be an "industry standard." When I see people in online recording support groups having technical problems with their DAWs, it's nearly always somebody running ProTools, and nearly always on a Mac, another undeserving "industry standard." I guess some people have money to burn.

@@FreshnessStudio1 Studio One, since 2012. My computers are always custom build PCs. Nothing inherently wrong with Macs, I just prefer to spend less and specify components. Before that, it was ProTools on Mac at work, and PARIS (with Cubase for MIDI) on PC at home. Studio One for me was analogous to the setup and workflow of working in an actual recording studio, so it was very intuitive. I was recording and mixing before I ever opened the user guide. It was like somebody took ProTools and streamlined its functions, and made it more stable. I don't think there is anything ProTools can do that Studio One can't do, and probably do more efficiently. I don't know if that's true of other DAWs because I haven't used them. I watched some Reaper tutorials just to see why Reaper fans are such proselytizers, and saw nothing special about it except that it's cheap, which isn't necsssarily a good thing. The GUI is terrible, not intuitive at all, so I think maybe the Reaper fan boys are suffering from "sunk cost rationalization," not monetarily, but the time and energy spent trying to learn and use the clunky thing. A friend bought Ableton, but switched to Studio One without bothering to learn Ableton. Something about the user interface put him off. I never actually sat down with it myself. I'm not even sure if it's true that "all DAWs do the same thing," as people like to say. It seems like some are designed more for recording and mixing audio and others lean more toward MIDI and assembling loops and samples. ProTools still seems to be locked in as "industry standard" for professional studios, though I'm pretty sure Logic, Cubase, and Studio One have pretty much the same capabilities. I'm sure that's more than you were asking for, but I hope it was of some use. 🙂

How to basic?

Warren. I know that out there in " not many can afford it but for some strange reason it's considered the standard which gave Pro Tools way too much power to way over price their recording gear and made them the elitist, you can only use our AD/DA converters hardware, plugins, bloated behemoth it has become but are pricing themselves out if the market DAW you use". The problem is, many pro and amateur engineers are switching to Logic Pro as well as other DAW's that allow third party everything. Could you maybe start doing some videos of Logic mixing and recording? I'm not trying to start a ruckus or anything, however, Pro Tools is not the be all and end all of DAW's. I have never been a fan. Would you at least consider it? Love your videos and even though you are a PT guy I still learn stuff from your PT videos. Sorry if I'm being a bummer. God Bless.

Hi Paul Schmdit Haha it's ok! I use Logic every day for building key board tracks, it's awesome!! I always used other manufacturers external hardware with Pro Tools, ever since the 90's when I first started using it. I still have an Apogee AD8000SE I use everyday for Drums ever since 2000, you can pick one up for a couple of hundred dollars! I have Focusrite Scarlet which is really cheap that I use with my lap top as well and I also use Lynx IO's with Pro Tools and my friends use Lynx, Apogee, UAD and Burl IO's. Most don't use AVID IO's, I would 90% are using third party hardware and always have. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
