Protools FREE reverb plug-in

Protools free - FANTASTIC. But, I want to add simple reverb. The included plug-in suite does not do this (or do I miss something?). I've tried programming the delay procesor (usually used for chorus!), but it's not easy or convincing. Any suggestions on where to get a free reverb plug-in?

Imagine...8 followups and no one knows how to post a comment. I've never seen such incompetence on a message board before. Wow.

Protools not for players!

Protools is the most used pro editing and recording system. If you got problem with it it´s not digidesigns fault, it´s your computer!!
When working in this class you gotta realize you cant do it on a celeron 500mhz or something!!??.
I´m sorry to tell you, but you´ll need a real computer. Celeron may be good for playing games. But if you wanna do music for real you gotta get a P3700 or AMD athlon 800 or more!.
Try cubase or cakewalk if you wanna use your 50$ soundcard, these program are made for non pro use. All digidesign products use digidesign hardware, and with that hardware you don´t got any problems.

If you wanna make music for real and not for fun go for Protools, other stick to VST and Cooledit!

I've just recently finished a cd, completely produced at home. For editing I used cooleditpro,for the rest plugins fm cakewalk, antares, timeworks, etc. for mastering I used timeworks. It sounds great and we are even negotiating with emi. So, sure protools is great if you have the money for the hardware to go with it. If not, then those 'silly little programs' do the job anyway. So you should better climb of that mountain of yours and shut your mouth(really; good hearing, good mics and even better hearing actualy do the job!)

Eric, you're full of it

You show your ignorance with these comments, Eric. Many professionals use Cakewalk and Cubase. Being loyal to Protools is fine, but don't deceive people who do not know better by making ridiculously biased comments.

Re: Protools not for players! Yea it sucks

It sucks. We all know it. Cake Walk and the rest
are for real. This thing is infested with bugs
out the wazu. Please avoid it and destroy it if
it is on your system. Trust me

protools problem!!! HELP!

i have a prob with my Digidesign... protools installed beautifuly and it opens swell when the 002 rack interface is turned on... BUT! as soon as you try to make a new session, the whole computer shuts down... and I tryed to open the demo session and the computer restarted as soon as it was to open... it happens every time and im getting pissed!... HELP!

Re: Protools not for players! Yea it sucks

Pro Tools and Digidesign 001 are awesome together! I havent ever downloaded the free version before I got the above but I should imagaine with a free copy, downloading off the net, different pc's etc I should imagine there is much more scope for errors! as is downloading s/w This kit is so versatile its unbelieveable. You can pretty much cut vinyl off devices connected to this h/w. Ive got an access Virus connected up and it is fab. You can connect DAT machines, synths, speakers etc.
It has been made simple but you can get as complex as your knowledge allows or increases!!
Bit of advice. Read everything you can and remember this is pretty NEW s/w!!! so its not going to be perfect and for those of you out there with cracked s/w this does not help matters either!!!
You do need to configure it to your system in control Panel

PT Free doesnt support digidesign hardware so you are dumb

Re: Protools not for players!

Youv'e all missed out Emagic's Logic.. this is found in soo many pro studios along side protools.. It's a well known fact that the Midi Imp' in PT is kinda bad, most pros use PT for recording and Logic "syncd" to it for Sequncing.. thing is.. Logic will do audio with any tin pot sound card.. It's perfect for pro home users that find cubase a lil basic (don't call me biased.. I write with cubase and use PT, Logic, SoundScape, ADAT and Cakewalk systems all the time) i'm doing a HND in sound eginnering.. i have to know ALL of the systems inside out.. i like logic alot, and recormend it to anyone.

Re: Protools not for players!

Yeah

Re: Protools not for players!

I went to a pro tools studio with a demo and the owner said he couldn't help me improve my sound much because I had it down as far as he was concernd. I use Cooledit, cakewalk and wavelab 4. Seems to work for me and my CD's could compete with the pro's and actually have. This Eric guy must be some rich spoiled rotten kid with a pro tools rig he got for christmas last year......
Frank R.

Wow, every other sequencer I've ever used is dead!!!

I now understand why so many producers that influence me use protools!!! wow, It's got the easiest interface of all the sequencers I've tried (cubase,logic,cakewalk,vision etc...)

Nothing comes close when it comes to entering midi data and the way you can create groups for everything and the lack of screen clutter make it way better than anything I've ever used before!!

I'm glad I've got 192Mb RAM though, I don't think I could cope with any less running protools free and my software synths. I'm definately gonna get one of the Protools LE packages, my Mac was built to run this program. I've been able to do stuff in a matter of minutes with protools that were either very time consuming or imposible with anything else. I love it!!!

Reason why It's crashing for MOST of you guys...

From most of the Messeges I've read it seems like its crashing for you guys is because you aren't using a Pentium II/III/IV based processor. Understand that there's a world of difference between Celeron, AMD's, etc, and the Pentium II/higher. Pro Tools LE and FREE experience problems working with those processors, It doesn't matter whether you have 1G of RAM and 1Ghz speed.

In Addition

: From most of the Messeges I've read it seems like its crashing for you guys is because you aren't using a Pentium II/III/IV based processor. Understand that there's a world of difference between Celeron, AMD's, etc, and the Pentium II/higher. Pro Tools LE and FREE experience problems working with those processors, It doesn't matter one bit that you have 1G of RAM and 1Ghz speed If its not running on a Pentium II/higher based processor.

In addition, Your CPU clock speed should be at LEAST a good 500Mhz(on a Pentium II/Higher) 1G-Better and at LEAST a good 192MB of RAM, Minimum requirements are just that, barely squeezing by with likelihood of problems.
But if You guys are really serious, you should be looking toward a Pentium IV 1.5G workstation, with a good 1G of RAM, and using the MIX line of Protools Hardware(full version of Pro Tools LE 5.0.1 software is included) But then again very few people can shell out near 6-figures(ouch!) for home recording. But hey, Its top of the line Pro-Caliber gear.
