Really good instruction thank you
Very Helpful Thanks!!
Thank you for this! I'm trying to set up a way to make my sync process faster using this. For this- when I insert a video clip and want to then insert an audio clip from an external recorder, I'd like it to be that the playhead stays at the beginning of the previously inserted video clip- any chance this is possible without having to switch focus to the timeline (keeping focus on the bins)? Happy to explain further in case that wasn't articulated well. Thank you so much!
I don't know of any way to do this. Sorry!
@@erickuehnl No problem, thanks for the great tips in the video!
Hey man, so my current project is live-streaming (application capturing) a live performance. I’m pretty sure this will work nicely for what I want to do. It would be really awesome to have 5.1 paired with dub reggae music. Anything I can do to make the quality authentic I’m going to try. Plus who needs to export if your application capturing right?
I guess my only question is, is there a way to template these settings in ableton?
You are goated for this
Haha. Thanks!
so u cant trim from the left side? what if there is too much empty voice in the start of the recording?
Yes you can. Just move the cursor to the beginning of the clip.
Спасибо дружище огромное!!!!!!! Поломка произошла внезапно. С вашей помощью исправил!!!!!!!! Жирнейший ЛАЙК!!!!!
Been searching for this to speed up editing and have less mouse milage - thank you!
In my i/o I dont have the output set to "mix" the way you have it in my latest pro tools version. I'm stumped. I'm stuck at this step. I'm not getting any sound.
I just renamed the default "A 1-2" output. If you look at Setup > Playback Engine what is it set to? If you're on a Mac it should be "Pro Tools Aggregate" or your audio interface.
If I get this right this is just a solution to use ableton as a surround mixing device only in live situation but you can’t export this multichannel mix into one multichannel track to use on other systems (like in movie theaters)? If this is right, how can I export as such a single track ? And if there’s no way to do it, why bother using ableton to mix in surround and not using another DAW that can also export multichannel mixes? Thx
No, Ableton has no way to natively export a polyphonic WAV file for 5.1. So you'd have to export the returns and then combine them in another application. I use the Dolby Atmos Renderer to create Atmos, 5.1, and Binaural deliverables from Ableton projects. It works nicely, but probably not worth the cost unless you are making money on surround work.
@@erickuehnl thx for your detailed answer!
Wow the select split notes "all notes" checkbox no longer exists in PT 2024. You are forced to choose a range and it defaults to C2-C3. So I decided to copy some notes and paste them 2 octaves above and below and highlighted the clip and pressed alt-y, thinking it would know to fill out the range automatically with the note range in the midi clip (after all, why would they remove the option otherwise)?, but nope, C2 to C3. That's pretty darn dumb.
This is brilliant to this day, but I am wondering if it might be easier just doing it all on an instrument track, so will try that now and see how I go. Such a great video.
Tks bro,
Thank Eric :)
Thanks How about undoing deleted plugins by mistake on the mixer??
Nope. Sorry.
Came here for clip definitions. Beautiful. thanks Eric!
Great video - so I can't wait to see the follow-up video.
Nothing ever works for me like it does in these HELPFUL INSIGHTS... I have a complex session up that i've been working on for 13 years. And I would have been done 13 years ago if I could simply do what I did in the analog world with a little more precision. As I am trying to do now. Its' SUCh a F(%#@$ PAIN... So I wanted to do this and label the parts of the song for quick access... but I do what you say here and it all works... but when I get done... there is no mark there... I'm trying it again... stupid fucking thing says "now adding marker 23"... and it never occurs to this or the people that engineered it that after TWENTY THREE MARKERS, that maybe whatever the FFF is wrong with this, that they PROBABLY want markers they CAN SEE... and maybe whatever is making them INVISIBLE, was a bad idea, because when you THINK ABOUT IT, markers are really ONLY THERE FOR THE VISIBILITY OF THEM, HENCE THE TERM.... THE WORD... MAR-KERS... THEY MARK THE GD thing... NO ONE AT ALL ... not so much the stealth abilities of SAID MARKERS to exist and then alert NO ONE AT ALL to their existence... I would say that MARKERS OF THAT VARIETY are probably a bad sort... one that NO ONE AT ALL! wouldn't really be markers at all... Makes you wonder why the makers of pro tools are EVEN HANGING OUT AT ALL with these pointless markers that exist... but not so much in the world where we live and do our job... they're TOO COOL to be a marker and MARK something... they do it a different way... a way which makes me want to attach needle nosed vice grips to their nipples... and clamp them down, slowly, tightening them over a span of three days as they turn black and fall off, then sampling the screams and making a big DANCE HIT from their screams, called NIPPLE LIPPLE ECTOMY... and with the money I got from that, set them free, set them up with some prosthetic nipples and take them to a glamor shots, who advises me and shaves their asses, inverts them and teaches them how to look like vacant asses in their pics. Because they sure as hell didn't make it as markers... I'd like to turn them into a marker... a greasy blood stain... that would mark and denote that marker that F'd around and found out about the dark side of hanging out with the sordid bunch of markers that were assembled by protools on this most modern edition I have on my computer here... maybe the kind of spot that if I were to shoot it out of an actual cannon at a 200. year old oak tree... I bet THAT would heave a MARKER... blow the bark off and then embedded in the living wood... SO MANY OTHER THINGS if these GD things actualy LEFT A GD MF MARK in the first place... how's it feel? Reading this whole diatribe? Do you feel like your time is important? That this is the best thing you coule be doing, with a record label, hot to get your recordings with you late wife... and of course they do.. she's awesome.. and so now, you have to revisit old sessions that were awesome...but the STUPIDITY of the platform THEN and NOW stats to GRATE on you SO MUCH... you fantasize about RIPPING the nipples off the aging folks that should have retired instead of engineering advanced obsolescence in to something brand new, instead of finding the necessary 12 year old firebrands that speak HTML advanced to each other... TOO LATE... your time has been served... this will suck for years to come.

I wish I could like this 1,000 more times. One of the best and most useful pro tools videos of all time
Yeah, it keeps going strong. Maybe Avid will add something native someday...
Also I think I say "go ahead" about 50 times. Funny to hear it again after all these years.
Maybe not what avid intended but SO👍
Never knew this exsisted. Appreciate it! I've been on an optimization spree and this is very very useful for inserting clips into the timeline without the audio quickly as my broll almost never need the audio tracks
Yeah, it's a bummer that it's quite complicated to set up. There really should be some default commands for this stuff. But I think it's worth it.
9 years later and still fire!
Yeah, Pro Tools doesn't change much. I guess that something folks like about it.
hi, how would I highlight one bar of a track, instead a whole clip or every transient?
Set the Edit Mode to Grid (upper left of the Edit window). Then you should be able to make precise selections.
@@erickuehnl thanks for the quick reply. What the shortcut be though, whenever I do shift > tab or shift > ' it selects an entire clip region
@@zeppelin8019 There's not really a shortcut for this. If you have the grid set to one bar you should be able to use the Selector tool to click and drag and select exactly one bar (or several exact bars). If you make the selection from the Timebase Ruler it will select across all tracks which can be useful.
Ah shame, thanks for the help 🙏🏻
@@zeppelin8019 Actually, you could use Nudge for this. If you set the nudge value to one bar, you can hold shift while you nudge and select a bar without using the mouse. czcams.com/video/7pHg_YqpBP8/video.html
Same setup not getting any signal to the sub
thanks man I´m starting out with Pro Tools and these are great Tips
Till this day, rewire confuses me sometimes lmfao
Well, it’s pretty much dead now so you can move on!
So helpful🎉
Is there a way to "cycle thru alternate takes" In the Manual it says that Cmd + Shift + arrow key do that, but it´s not working on my Pro Tools. Also do you know why sometimes alternate takes are colored orange? Thanks for the help!!!
That feature requires the following pref to be enabled -- Operation > Record > Automatically Create New Playlists When Loop Recording
@@erickuehnl Thanks for your kind reply Eric. Unfortunately, Cmd + Shift + arrow keys don't do anything, even after enabling that setting on Preferences. I am working with Alternate takes, not Playlists though.
@@MrJetanaipe Those key commands rely on the alternate takes being placed on alternate playlists. That’s how the feature works. If you enable the pref, then do more loop recoding it will work. But it won’t work with existing alternate takes unless you manually place them on alternate playlists. So it will be automatic in the future, but with your current takes you will have to manually place them on the alternate playlists.
@@erickuehnl That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
@@erickuehnl I just found it! You need to enable "Field Recorder Guide Track" on the track, and then you are able to cycle thru Alternate takes, using the Cmd + Shift + arrow keys shortcut. No need to go for Playlists. (we sound post people hate Playlists haha)
how can i setup my 18i20 in the ontrol software?
shout out to avid for being inventive! thank u for the vid
Thank you, this is amazingly beneficial
When i hold down the shift to select multiple regions it always selects everything in between! Please help i wanna trim multiple regions at the same time
did you figure this out by any chance??
@@tonygregory7133 yes by right clicking the grabber tool and chosing blocks, then it works
Thank you so much for this tutorial Eric. It really has helped to have a clean workflow within fmod and not relying on so many parameters. I would love to see the script how you set it up in unity. Kind regards Patrik
Hi , great video 👏🏻i have a question , When I program drums with a keyboard I usually play a basic beat , Kick , Snare & Hi-hat. Then I play (on keyboard too) my open hihats , ghost notes & drum rolls, cymbals etc on a separate midi track, quantize later & bounce both tracks together into a wav, Is there a way to record the extra midi rolls etc all on the same track without wiping my basic beat ? Also what does the quantize swing button do ? Thanks
You can enable MIDI Merge to add the extra MIDI data without erasing what you already have. Here’s the weird thing: you can’t do it with Loop Record enabled, but it actually works with Loop Playback instead. So if you like to record MIDI while looping be sure to change that. I just combine the two concepts when teaching this: “Loop Playback and MIDI Merge.”

Hello Sir, I have exactly the same setup, all this while I had been using 2.1, the bass management was controlled by Genelc 7040A (2 inputs and 2 outputs). Now I have procured 3 more 8020 monitors to setup surround 5.1 using the same Scarlett 18i20. How would the 7040A control the bass management? Or would it be just one scarlet output going into the 7040A input? I'm slightly confused, the 2.1 setup was different as per the bass management was concerned. Awaiting your reply. Thanks in advance.
The 7040 only supports stereo bass management. So you'll need to find a software solution to handle the bass management (such as the Waves M360 or Dolby Atmos Renderer), or upgrade to the 7050 which supports bass management up to 5.1. Another option could be to continue using the 7040 for the left and right channels, and then use DAW EQ to roll off the low end of the center and surround channels so that they have no bass to be "managed." You'll also need to eliminate LFE in this scenario so just mixing 5.0. I had an older 5.1 Genelec system where the sub only handled L,C,R bass management so I just had to be careful to have no bass content below 80 Hz (the crossover frequency for the subwoofer) in the surrounds. You'd have to experiment to see if such a configuration works for your particular situation, but at least you wouldn't have to spend any more money and could probably still create good sounding 5.0 mixes.
@@erickuehnl Sir, thank you so much for the reply. I will try the possibilities which suits my setup as per your suggestion and update here. I was curious about asking the question, that if along with the 5 Scarlett outputs going to the monitors(L,C,R,Ls,Rs), if I give the 6th output to one of the LFE L/R inputs,( there's no LFE IN in 7040A), will that work? Ofcourse there would be no bass management, however the LFE line would be an independent channel. Can I get signal out of the LFE this way?
Hi Eric thanks for a great video! I wondered if a musician composer works for game developers, does the composer need to use the Fmod or Wwise in order to be part of the audio team ? It depends with which size of company the composer work with? Such as AA developers or indie developers?
In my experience, the larger studios don't expect composers to be involved with implementation. There's usually an in-house team that handles music implementation. I don't think its common for indie games either, but it certainly could be helpful when trying to land that type of gig.
@0:33 What "previous video"???
The previous video was about exporting stems from Pro Tools. czcams.com/video/VE1soAbBwzM/video.html
This video is excellent. I'm on the latest pro tools so I just started following step by step....then the end of the video HERE's The Faster Way!!! LOL -- 0:03 - Creating a Send ProTools 8 & Earlier | 2:07 Send to A New Track ProTools 9 and Later --
Well, I think it's important for folks to understand what is happening when using the faster way. Otherwise, it's going to be tough to troubleshoot the inevitable routing problems that arise. But thanks for calling out the times!
@@erickuehnl I agree with you. I was having a laugh out loud moment about my own experience and followed through on the joke. Your video is great. I also give tutorial tips hoping people catch all the nuance
I've lost track of how many times I've returned to watch this for refresher in the middle of a TV post mix. Thanks again, and again...and again....
Hah that's great. Thanks for the positive feedback.
Pretty cool idea. Thanks man!
How can I add the key switches into protools? Thanks!
You have to play them in on your keyboard or enter them manually onto the track.
Thank you
Very well put together series. Thank you!
Thanks for the refresher course. THIS WILL NOT WORK IN SHUFFLE MODE. Also you can use timeline location rather than a selected clip. For example: You can tab to transient and sync another clip based on where the cursor landed.
Thanks a lot for these pretty amazing videos, so comprehensive, cheers!
You might consider making some note or comment on RMS versus PEAK normalization. Still thumbs up overall. Thx.
ah, man, SENDS! this works great via HDMI out.
Yes. It's kind of weird, but not having native surround support in Ableton has actually forced people to come up with novel approaches. I was avoiding Max for Live in this particular video, but for surround performances I often use the Max for Live "Max API SendsPan" device. Check it out! You can automate the Azimuth value with an LFO and can get a circular pan across up to 12 speakers.
I know this is 9yo but how do I freaking delete a second key signature I added by mistake? >,< !
Option/Alt-click it.
1:40 in this video my problem is solved. Thank you!
how do you hide the clip list? Thanks
Click the tiny arrow at the bottom of the Edit window just to the left of the clip list.
@@erickuehnl Thanks!
