Re: 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.

Re: In Addition

I'm using VST 3.55 on 166mhz PENTIUM. 64M RAM. I have few problems. Have a bit of outboard gear (Compressers, Reverb etc, Mackie 1202, HiFi amp & speakers. Make good recordings without buying more & more software. CONCENTRATE ON THE MUSIC!!

You know it makes sense!

Converting items???

How do I convert the .wav format to the broadcastwav format in order to edit a song???

Simple Recording Help!!!

I have followed the manual, record button on on track, record light blinking on transport, and I can't push the play button to start the recording process. It has to be a simple thing that I am overlooking please help.

Re: Simple Recording Help!!!

You can't push the play button to start the recording process. Try pushing the record button to start the recording process. You mentioned that you made sure the blinking light that tells the user that the recorder is not recording, however you did not mentioned that you changed inputs or not. Make sure the inputs are set Mic/Input on the track or tracks you are recording on. When you are readying to hear your recording that you just recorded, move the input switch or slider whatever you want to call it up to Tape.

audio cd

HI,
I am completley new to pro tools. I am using version 5.0.1 on a PC and would like to know if there is a movie menu with the option to import audio from another movie as there is on the MAC.
So that I can import and convert tracks from an audio cd
thanks

Perkele...what's wrong with Pro Tools?

(First, sorry for my broken english - not a native speaker...)

I just downloaded ProoTools Free early this week (it looked very
attractive compared with some other freewares having more limitations).
However, after a couple of evenings I have spent with this program it
seems to be just another pain in the neck.

First, the program got my computer (600 MHz Celeron, 128 RAM) totally
jammed every time I tried to open it- and it is still doing it 50% of the time.
Secondly, when I tried to record some audio voice, the latency was
TERRIBLE! Yes, I have tried to decrease the buffer size, but the program
doesn't accept less than near the maximum values. I have also minimizied
the graphics boost, killed the extra tasks, etc. Nothing seems to be
working.

Based on the earilier messages, it seems that I'm not the only person
with this kind of experience. If I have forgotten to adjust some
"settings", please, let me know. If that's not the point, please
let me know as well... (I have also tested some other programs, which all worked out fine. For
instance, with nTrack I made the first real recordings faster than I
read a half of the manual of ProTools.)

Re: Perkele...what's wrong with Pro Tools?

: (primero, apesadumbrado para mi inglés quebrado - no un nativo...) Acabo de descargar temprano libre de ProoTools esta semana (miraba muy: atractivo comparado con algunos otros freewares que tienen más limitaciones). Sin embargo, después de un par de tardes lo he pasado con este programa: se parece ser justo otro dolor en el cuello. Primero, el programa consiguió mi computadora (600 megaciclos Celeron, el ESPOLÓN 128) totalmente: atorado cada vez que intenté abrirlo y le todavía lo está haciendo el 50% del tiempo. En segundo lugar, cuando intenté registrar una cierta voz audio, el estado latente era: ¡cTerrible! Sí, me he intentado disminuir el tamaño de almacenador intermediario, pero el programa: no acepta menos que cerca de los valores máximos. Tengo también minimizied: los gráficos alzan, matado las tareas, el etc adicionales. Nada se parece ser: funcionamiento. De acuerdo con los mensajes ma's earilier, se parece que no soy la única persona: con esta clase de experiencia. Si me he olvidado de ajustar alguno: los "ajustes", déjanme por favor saber. Si ése no es el punto, por favor: déjeme saber también... (también he probado algunos otros programas, que todo resolvió muy bien. Para: cite como ejemplo, con el nTrack que hice las primeras grabaciones verdaderas más rápidas que mí: lea una mitad del manual de ProTools.) respeto,: Puli, el muchacho de Escandinavia. sea:

STEREO TRACKS

GREAT PROGRAM AND RUNS FINE FOR ME BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN CREATE STEREO AUDIO TRACKS?

Re: STEREO TRACKS

: you have to arm 2 mono trackz and record the left and right simultaneously. This suckz it essentially means you have 4 tracks available if you record in stereo.I'm not sure if you can bounce the trackz or not.

Pro Tools is freeware allright!

Well I guess I can see why Pro Tools is freeware. It fucks up your computer. You know I downloaded Cakewalk Guitar Studio 2. and my computer went to a blank screen. After I installed it. I thought my computer had crashed, so I tried manually restarting my computer and it worked. I am glad I haven't installed Pro Tools.
