    @@jadedickey3261 because I got really pissed off when PT11 came out. I quit on it and came back to Logic and so far I've managed to get by. Now, that I mean to find remote work I believe it's going to be inevitable to get PT... Technically, the only thing I've always missed from PT10 it's being able to do the audio editing on the arrange window with no need for the audio editor. Everything else does the job perfectly well at this level. After watching the video I thought about for Live ;) Best regards!

    loved this, thanks so much! just out of curiosity, if this were for a film or tv show, how would you deliver it to the mixer? Bounce each group and export? Do you ever use rewire and print directly into a Pro Tools session? Just curious about your workflow because I am a huge Ableton fan and would far rather sound design in Ableton, but have only ever used Pro Tools for post audio stuff. Although it sounds like you mainly sound design for games and I imagine the workflow is quite different... anyways, thanks again!

    Young Man I still believe you are light years ahead of most of us; therefore, you teach at that level, not at most of us level. You often skip a lot. you forget B, C, and D then go to E. This is not a compliment. you are very talented, but you can't teach. I knew a black friend that was like you. he worked with Quency Jones for a while. he knew he could not teach but he was VERY talented. I continue to watch you video hope you teach something I can follow but skip a lot as to how you get to point B then you go one to C. WHEW!
