I always use the quantize box to snap the soundbites to 8th or 16ths... just set up a Key Binding, mine is the default 'command+0', but i guess it could logically be 'Q'! So just select the bite/s when yur ready , hit the shortcut and headbutt Enter.....took me a while to get into it, but thats jus...

unlike pt, the grid in dp isn't a mode of editing, it's a unit of measurement by which events will move/select. events will not snap to the grid, but they will move by the unit of measurement determined by the grid setting (whole note/quarter note/frame, etc)... ...it's a bit different, but i think...

this is how the grid behaves in dp. it will not quantize your data, but will allow you to move/select by the grid unit you choose. there are a lot of ways to line up soundbites and notes to the grid, but turning on the grid in itself will not allow you to do it. really? wow, that's REALLY unfortuna...

yeah, if you mean the "edit grid toggle" box that says "unit=" right next to it. the problem I'm having is that my soundbites don't grid to 9/1/000 if I have it set to quarter notes say, if it's already at 9/1/017 and I move it, it grids to 9/1/017 or 9/2/017 or 10/1/017 etc. but...

confused by grid

as I struggle along, this is the one that's killing me. my audio wants to snap to some sort of grid that I can't figure out. the book says very little about the grid modes that I can find. I thought it might be a sync point, but that's not it. if I turn the grids all off I can move the soundbite fre...

I think many would think of a software sample player as one of the ones that you can't load your own samples into. isn't sampletank like that? machfive and kontakt and the like let you load your own samples.

I wasn't understanding what a chunk was before. Why they call it that, I don't know. I never liked that term (it blows chunks). It's a sequence.......they even say, "Copy Selection To New Sequence", "Create Sequence", "Duplicate Sequence", etc....Oh, but they do say, &...

hey thanks for all the tips, very helpful. I tried the "copy to new sequence" thing, that's insane! I don't totally understand all that but it gives me a start to dig back in to the manual. I wasn't understanding what a chunk was before. I guess turning the voice off is the closest to what...

how to do this in DP

hi all, when working in pro tools I will make a track(s) inactive and get it/them out of the way, something I'm not going to use right now (maybe never) but I don't want to get rid of. say I blend a bunch of tracks and bounce them down and now I'm going to use the bounce but I might go back and re-b...

5) B.t.w you DONT need Disk Warrior for this. You can boot up OS-X in "Single User Mode" and at the black terminal command prompt do the exact same reconstruction much faster then DW. uh, OK. and what is that, exactly? I'm not sure I believe this, but this information doesn't really say a...

info on switching to DP from PT

hey, does anyone know of a guide or any info that would be helpful for someone learning DP after using Pro Tools for many years? I like a lot of things about DP so far but I still find it frustrating to have to stop constantly and spend an hour looking through the manual for some simple little thing...

It's a workflow issue. In Protools, I select a region, select Consolidate Tracks, and PT creates a soundbite of that region. Done. In DP, the newly merged soundbite starts with the first soundbite in that selected region, NOT from the beginning of the selected region. For file transfer and archivin...
