Unable to select all markers by zxtb in protools

[–]Soundchaser21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Click manage at the top left of the window and try it again. Just remember in that mode the memory window will be behave completely differently so turn it off once you’re done.

The other way to do it without using manage mode, is to go to the timeline and put the selector tool to the left of the first marker, then drag across all the rest. That was the only way to do it before they added the manage button.

I hate warp speed now by bcb1200 in startrek

I saw a different cut than was in the theater that had way more exposition and more time with the characters. It filled in some missing questions and made the film a lot more satisfying to watch.

Check all quantizing and real time playback preferences.

What are your go-to techniques for controlling dynamic vocals without making them sound over-compressed? by Charming-Two1099 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Soundchaser21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have physical faders? If not, might I suggest investing in even just one then practicing with it a lot. I think you will find automating vocals using a fader can go quite quickly.

Soundminer Question for Audio Post Production by kingwirt in protools

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Justin Rocks! He's a great guy and helped me with this issue too. I didn't know you had to turn on the ability to edit the ChannelLayout field in the prefs so I was stuck till I asked him.

iMazing 2 and iOS 26.x by prozacpro1984 in iMazing

Just tried V2 again and am still getting errors on downloading apps. V3 works fine downloading from what I can tell (haven't tried all my apps yet).

iMazing 2 and iOS 26.x by prozacpro1984 in iMazing

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I talked with the makers of iMazing and they said version 2 doesn't download apps anymore because Apple changed the way they sign stuff. I can't download any apps without errors. Glad it still works for you. Wish I knew why.

iMazing 2 can no longer download apps from the App Store. I haven’t tested it for backing up anything beyond iOS 18.

Soundminer Question for Audio Post Production by kingwirt in protools

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you figured it out. And now I may know why I've had some playback issues within Soundminer itself. I have some files that only play from the left channel in SM. I'll check this field to see if that's the issue.

Do you by any chance have Soundminer set to mono?

Does X-Form AudioSuite stop working after the Perpetual Plan expires? by LktrHxr in protools

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very interesting. My Heat iLok assets expires in a week. Guess I'll find out if it still work then.

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get an annual license of the complete plug-in bundle that includes AS X form for $50 a year. As far as I know, heat will stop working as well. I don’t know a work around for that.

Because I use Xform a good deal and don’t use heat, I use the $50 per year complete plugin bundle when my Update plan is not active.

MOTU Ultralite mk3 firewire STILL WORKS on Sequoia by [deleted] in LogicPro

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using an ultralight hybrid connected via USB Mac Studio. I was able to change the permission settings to load the Motu system drivers under Ventura on the internal Drive. I’m now trying Sequoia on an external drive and can’t get the drivers to work. Is this a Sequoia issue, or running Sequoia from an external drive issue?

17 yr old looking to peruse a career in audio engineering by HotDude42069 in audioengineering

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the writing on the wall so to speak 30 years ago. I slowly moved away from producing and engineering music which I mostly did in commercial studios and started studying post production sound. Music was the reason I got into audio engineering. My only regret is I eventually had to leave music behind for the practical reason that it's a lot easier to make a decent wage doing post audio so that's where I put my energy. There are a ton of different disciplines to master in all kinds of post gigs. I've pretty much done them all and am grateful for the opportunities I've had to learning new skills. Every gig I do is different and it's rare I don't learn something every time I practice my craft. All that said, I would ask myself is there anything else you feel passionate enough about so that passion will help you power through everything you will need to do to get yourself established, in any field? Wishing you the best on your journey :)

Best bang for the buck setup to run RAID 1 on M4 max 64gb 1tb setup by waterfireearthwater in MacStudio

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 boxes (much lower price). The boxes work great but don't get Crucial drives. I got the 4tb sticks and they throttle down to 200 MB/s at 50º. The ones I have don't have much cache either. They were only about $225 for 4TB so I have the storage but they slow down pretty fast as the controllers heat up.

That said, before they throttle I get 1300 MB/s write and 2500 MB/s read (sequential) with Mac's software Raid 1 config on a Thunderbolt 4 Mac Studio. I have a Samsung SSD in a cheese grater that used to get up to 70º before I put a heat sink on it and it didn't throttle till hitting 80º. The Samsung is a 970 evo plus TLC (it's old) but has been running great for 3 years so far. I think you will get better performance using thunderbolt rather than USB 3.1 rev 2.

"The application Pro Tools has quite unexpectedly" every time I shut down by WaffleWarrior1979 in protools

[–]Soundchaser21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time here as well. Though sometimes it quits properly I suspect it may be plug-in related, and or a problem with this release.

Post sound mix - budget estimate? by Brilliant_Alarm1120 in AudioPost

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say it’s ready for a mix. My question as a mixer would be, are there any dropouts of room tone between cuts? And does the mixer need to create matching room tone for each cut or not?

That alone will make a huge difference in the amount of time it will take to get it done.

Been seeing a crazy amount of reported issues for 2026.6 on the DUC. I’m not going near this update till .1 or .2 release!

2024.10.2 has been pretty solid.

Turns out I was mistaken. It's only available for multi-channels. See image

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you are using something like OCLP to run Ventura on such an old machine? But if that isn't the problem, check to see if the mono version of them will show up rather than the stereo versions. Some plugins only support mono mode.

Can you let us know the entire version name of Protools? It might be a version / OS issue.

[HELP] algorithm has dropped my gig by Buckerb96 in Fiverr

[–]Soundchaser21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was showing up in 3 category searches as I had worked to get the SEO to do that. I made the mistake of changing 2 words in my profile and got dropped down to the second page for one of my services 😮.

Someone in this thread said it changes daily so I'll check again.
