Done a little searching and found 155 posts about solo'ing auxes in tools.
I get that it doesn't work like other daws. I'm well versed in using groups and even folders. No problems.

My frustration is that in other daws, I will often solo an aux with a verb, or delay, or some sort of effect and really dial it in. Hear exactly what it's doing.

What's my workaround to acheiving this in tools? It's seriously stopping me from using it as my main mixing daw.

I have a pro tools 2023.9 studio perpetual licence. I upgraded my computer to M4 Sequoia and it looks like i need to upgrade Pro Tools.

If I upgrade with the 199$ License Upgrade deal, Do i get the newest version and thats my new perpetual version? And i'll have to pay another 199$ for another upgrade?

If I upgrade with the 239$ 1 Year Subscription do I get the current version, upgrades for a year, and if I don't renew I'll keep the version that I stopped at?

I've always locked my system until i really need to upgrade so i dont want to go to subscription mode and if i dont renew i go back to 2023.9

Hello, I have finally got MIDI somewhat working with my roland after all these years. However I can still here the piano sound behind each instrument I select on xpand!2. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

I have Protools Intro+ and a Roland FP30 piano. Thanks :)

Is there a way to drag-move these two points together equally after highlighting them? I am currently only able to drag one point at a time.

Plugin problems

So I recently purchased a 2290 from TC electronics plug-in. It says it’s authorized on my iLok and ProTools (most current version) keeps asking me to activate the plug-in so what am I missing? I’ve synchronized the iLok. authorized and re-authorized it synchronized again restarted the computer. I’m on a Mac. I’ve never had this problem before. Is anyone else experienced this and if you have, is there any way to figure it out cause customer service for media tribe is not that great. Thx in advance.

Is there a way to select and move these clips (red) with out selecting the blue clips?sorry i just switched to pro tools and i can't figure out selecting all these clips without the blue clips.

Anybody use an MC Mix still? I've got a set with 2 MC Mixes and 1 Control in the middle

I'd like to set the right bank of 8 faders to control the sends of whatever track is selected (I suppose in "flip" mode it'd be technically) and have it set there by default (permanently I guess) And then the other bank would be the audio tracks etc as usual

Possible? Impossible? Stupid idea? All of these are fine answers and I welcome input Thank you!

If I don't get Pro Tools running TODAY I will be in Dire Straits. Have clients that I will have to cancel.

All the info I have:

when I log into Avid online it says my subscription is active, but in my ilok it says it expired on March 8th. I have recieved no warnings from AVID and my most recent bill for the subscription was PAID. When I boot pro tools, it says: "Pro Tools Studio Subscription could not be loaded. Please contact the software publisher for support using this software."

Yes I am connected to the internet.

Thank you SO MUCH to anybody who is able to help.

OSX version: 14.0

Hi everyone! When recording I’ve always had my record track then drag the take down to the comp track where I make my comps and playlists but I feel like there must be a better way because when the artist wants to do another take of a specific section but keep the previous take I make a new playlist on the comp track but it clears the entire track so I have to put everything back except that section or make a duplicate playlist and remove only the section to replace. This just still feels like I’m doing it wrong lol.

Is there a way to create a new playlist just for that section? Or should I be keeping the takes on the record track so all the takes stay there and I just drag the best one to the comp track?

I’m still kind of new to pro tools so I’m still getting used to things.

Thanks everyone!

I’m currently switching to Pro Tools as my main DAW and need help choosing between the Studio and Ultimate plans. I mostly mix modern pop, which typically has 100-200+ tracks and a lot of buses. I also do some production on side.

Is Pro Tools Studio enough for my needs?

Pro Tools version is 2024.10.2

System is Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 Build 22635.5015

So far I haven't been able to get it to fully open. This latest attempt got me to the tutorial screens before I force closed it for like that 15th time. Audacity runs, Davinci Resolve runs, Reaper runs, but Pro Tools Intro? What kind of dark magic is required to get this thing to run?

I tried to fly some clips after selecting them using "object mode" and received this. However, when I switched back to "Time mode" and made my clip selection, I was then able to fly them back to the desired location.

Windows 7; Pro Tools 10.3.

I imported some session files with my portable back-up drive plugged in. Currently, the previously imported files are whited out unless my portable drive is plugged in. What can I do to remedy this? Can't re-import because the old file is gone. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if it is possible to setup automation in Melodyne ARA, like you can when using Melodyne as a plugin?

I ran across one video of a guy automating MIDI CC's but that just seems extra! Trying to see if I'm not missing anything the traditional route before going down that rabbit hole.

Automating pitch bends really come in handy, especially for tricks like bending recorded 808's etc.

I’m working in pro tools to troubleshoot for a friend, and I need to get into the “Hardware Control Panel”. However, there’s no drop down menu so the only way is through the “Pro Tools Search” window. When I select it, nothing happens or opens. Any suggestions?

Hey friends. Having a weird issue on my Pro Tools rig. When session playback is paused, there's this awful buzz coming from all of the tracks. I created a new session and found the issue carrying itself over. There's no audio recorded in the brand new test session.

I've reinstalled Pro Tools, reinstalled all plug-ins (Softube, Izotope, Waves, Slate, fabfilter, accentize), and even reinstalled the Clarett8 Pre drivers + Focusrite Control. This hasn't fixed the issue.

I found one other person with this issue, they were able to single it down to an Antares plug-in. But I still have this issue even when it's a fresh session. No plug-ins added.

Any thoughts?

PT 2024.10.2, Windows 11

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or T least can point me in the right direction? I watched a few videos on this and it seems like a common problem? There was recently a MAC update. So Im wondering if Sequoia is the reason behind this.. I am using the most up to date PT version, just updated it lastnight.

I checked the activity monitor to see if the “iLockPace” was there.. but unsure of what the next steps are

Its like every week there is another problem with pt.

Now suddenly everytime I delete a midi region the corresponding Synth plugin gets reset/altered.

Happends around 7/10 times so its not always, but most of the time, sometimes playing is enough, sometimes it does not happen at all.

Help would be greatly appreciated since now the only option i have is to render the track and re render it when i make changes

Pt version 2024.10.2

Win 11

Focusrite 18i20 3rd gen

What's happening here? In my regular sessions, if I want to drag something I highlight and press ctrl-E to separate that bit from the main clip. Only then can a drag it around. This is super handing when comping vocals and making crossfades between clips. I have a session that was tracked elsewhere and when I try to drag a crossfade, it leaves an empty spot and the cross fade is now sitting in the middle of another clip. I can see great uses for the behavior it has now but it's super lame when comping. Where is the setting that controls this?

Hi folks! I have tried downloading my copy of pro tools 12 (perpetual license) and it just won’t run. Tried uninstalling/re installing. With and without avidlink and with security adjusted. Any tips? Running a new MacBook Pro m4 pro. Thanks!

I use this to remove unwanted frequencies. And then i rendere it.
Sometimes this produces a click and even nudges the audio in the clip slightly, like if there were latencys rendered. wonder if its protools related. or some setting i miss.

So I'm having issues with blank handles being left when I process a clip using the audio suite. I wondered if anyone else has had this experience.

I'm running pro tools version 10.2.2024 on Windows 10 and I have my handle setting set to 10 seconds in the processing tab. Even when I select whole file, it only leaves about 4 seconds of handles. I usually process it clip by clip, create individual files.

I'm wondering, is this a plug-in feature? It's happening when I mainly use Izotope plug-ins to clean up audio.
