If you work on an HD system, you’ve most likely come to a point where you run out of voices. When you are trying to reduce the number of voices you are using, knowing exactly what burns a voice will help you to slim down your sessions.
What uses a voice?
Don’t you wish you could just hear your system audio through your Pro Tools rig without the useless CoreAudio? Do you want to use Soundminer, but re-wire just doesn’t ever work? Client wants to watch a quicktime? You want to rock out to the latest Miley Cyrus single on iTunes? Here’s the fix!
Whilst editing in grid mode, you can hold down command to temporarily switch to slip mode. Short and sweet (and I used “whilst” in a sentence!)
The “write on stop” modes are a one shot deal (except “write to next breakpoint”). Once you hit stop, and it writes automation, you have to re-click it to use it again. But if you hold down option and click the mode, it will lock ON. Very handy if you nee to make some global changes to a whole song, especially when used in conjunction with trim mode. Just remember to turn it off when you’re done! (This trick is TDM only, as LE doesn’t have advanced automation modes)
