Pro Tools 9

What? You can apply FX offline directly to tracks via audiosuite. Real-time bouncing is only for printing tracks with real-time insert FX or bouncing the entire mix.

Yes...for example when I have to flip the phase I use the audiosuite's Invert and it works offline like an offline bounce.

Have you seen this latency problems with 8 or 9 version? Here is the linkhttp://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=285575

hmm, something I am very curious about is does PT9 have those couple ms of blank space added before a bounce like LE did?
or have they finally fixed that in 9?

If anyone can let me know much would be appreciated.

Where do you get the new iLoks I am on the website but I dont see them

I know!! i wanna get one because the other ones look like green dicks...

...I once had to do a rough mix on a plane and the guy next to me looked at the ilok every time he could...pretty awkward...

He probably wanted to use some "plug-in", too. Only the plugin was hardware and the host his asshole

 

[pipaguapique]

wow...you made that analogy so real! haha

This is definitely huge news. I'm happy with Cubase actually and was never even considering PT but this makes me think about it at least...

I would like to know this as well... this issue has caused me quite a bit of trouble in the past...

Any sign of Avid releasing a PT9 demo?

If it's like the earlier demo versions where you can't save or export, I wouldn't want to touch it.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Not sure if anyone posted but looks like you can import session data and match tracks now as well like you could in Hd. This feature is huge when your mixing albums and such a time saver.

omg, 10 more mins on my download.
this is going to be the longest 10 minutes of my life.

I love car analogies, so let's do one! Say you're buying a new car. You're looking at the basic model that costs $20.000 and the business model with all the goodies for $50.000. You get a free set Wunderbaums (New Car Smell, I can't stand the others. Yuch!) as a bonus with the business model. Now, do you think "That's nice!" or "What? The Wunderbaums cost, like, ten bucks. Why can't I have them when I buy the basic model?" even though you'll probably never even open the package.

And yes, I know that's a horrible analogy. It's just that whenever people discuss Pro Tools, someone has to come up with even one car analogy.

It doesn't really apply because the little comforts and features some people like (Wunderbaums) are not just easily put behind the windshield of the expensive car for a dollar but rather completely impossible to integrate into the expensive car/daw.
This has nothing to do with reaper or protools, but its kind of a price problem in general.

Basic PT 8 vs PT 9 features compared.

Any reason you guys use the actual Bounce feature instead of just printing to a new track and exporting that region?

Any Pro Tools dudes I've ever worked with always print their mixes to a new track in the session, trim and fade it however you like then select it, opt+shift+3 to consolidate the fades, cmd+shift+K to export the file and save it anywhere you want. Shouldn't have any extra ms at the end of the file this way, I certainly never noticed that problem doing things this way.

This is what I have resorted to

It's better than bouncing anyways. If you hear one tiny section when you are printing it that could use a change, you can easily change something and just punch that section back in instead of rebouncing the whole track.

I've always felt like an idiot because of this, but honestly, I always use a master track in PT, and haven't found a way to route that to a new audio track to record it. Didn't bother trying to figure it out and just used the bounce to disk feature

Depends. What are you trying to edit?

If you're editing vocals or bass, then Elastic Audio, rendering using the X-form algorithm, is astoundingly intuitive and fast - much better than slipping for me. The rendering can take a little while on current CPUs but the actual workflow is second to none.

For drums you've got beat detective, and for anything that you have to get intense with you've got tab to transient, quantization and 'regular' slip editing.

One really cool thing about ProTools for me, as far as editing is concerned, is that the UI is so much more pleasant and readable than any other DAW I've used. You can tell most of the time where the transient is... and even when you can't, tab to transient will help you find it most of the time. Half the time I'm slipping in Cubase its mostly guess-work looking at those fugly non-anti-aliased waveforms.

Auto-fades would be really handy though.

this post single handedly made me re-intrigued with PT9 haha

editing with elastic audio is really easier/better for you than slipping around in cubase? how about for editing guitar DIs?

I'm all about streamlining my editing workflow. I can go pretty fast in cubase but if I could get better results faster in protools I could see myself maybe tracking in cubase, editing in protools, then going back to cubase for mixtime.

Wouldn't bother me - a demo would at least allow me to see how PT9 performs on my machine. Only then would I consider buying it!

The setup basically looks like this:

You monitor your mix through the Mix Bus aux, and just record arm the Mix Print track to record your mix to that track. The master fader is assigned to the "Mix Bus" bus so that you can still use that track for your mastering chain.
