    Not sure about how trim works in PT but in digital consoles, especially consoles networked through Dante or AES, it acts more like gain. Changing trim won't change the gain settings on the actually preamp but if your sending signal to something like a compressor or reverb, lowering the trim will effect how much signal hits your compressors and/or reverbs. Where as, the fader on the console controls the volume without effecting the signal being sent to your compressors and effects. I.e. eliminating the dry signal while you still here the wet signal. Granted, this is all kinda dependant on if your sends are set up as pre fader or post fader.

    When I put my midi recording in the score editor it is not accurate to the time signature because of natural pauses in my playing. I'd like to know how to fix that. I imagine I'd have to quantize it. Would you recommend that as the best option?

    • @CatoNoise
      @CatoNoise 7 днів тому

      I'm not sure about that exact combo, since LE 8 was a while ago, but I've opened sessions that were created in older versions of Pro Tools before. If you're really worried, then make a copy, and open the copy. If it opens, then the biggest issue you will probably/definitely run into is that your plugins in your old session will probably be inactive, because they won't work on the newer system.

    • @stevegeorge7773
      @stevegeorge7773 13 днів тому

      Sorry another query, with saving presets or saving as for a new preset of a setting.... Does the 'system' auto create the folder within the Pro Tools file structure. What is the method you use for organising, given the context of the question?

    • @stevegeorge7773
      @stevegeorge7773 13 днів тому

      Another question. Have you set up presets as instrument specific for initially starting the tracking, edit, mixing; across these stages?

    • @CatoNoise
      @CatoNoise 11 днів тому

      Hi! Ok, so I looked at the shaded out thing - and I think that might just be the blur that I put over the name of the session throughout the entire video. I just didn't delete the blur during that moment when I selected the plugins because it wasn't in the way, haha, sorry for any confusion! For your question about auto-creating a folder - in my experience the system does create a folder for the plugin presets, and there's some variety as to where that folder is placed on your system, depending on your OS, and how the plugin developer programmed it. Sometimes we create a new category for presets, and a folder is created then, and that is done because of a user action, but the system will automatically create the folder when the user creates the new category for preset - does that make sense? For your third question about setting up presets for specific instruments - yes! I've definitely done that in the past, and should probably dig into that more. It's a great way to save some time by getting part of the way where you know you'll want to be, and I would *definitely* do that if working on an album, or if you tend to work on songs with the same or similar instrumentation. Hope this helps - lmk what I missed here and if you want clarification on anything - I'll do my best!
