11 years later, this video is still super helpful, thank you bro- i appreciate how concise and organized you made everything and it was well explained. hope youre doing great man!
Again, I want to Thank you for taking time to teach a lot of people,(myself included ) important parts of tools making it easier to get a job done without reading 4 chapters on the HOW TO section in a manual.
Yes, organizing is the key for any session, making the workflow much more easier. Your presentation and explanation was cool to the point. Keep them coming !!!
Hi there! I'm very grateful to find your tutorial on here Sir, you're doing a marvelous job 👏 Quick question!, Are the markers automatically colored or you did it somehow we didn't see it??
I have a way of doing locations that you should try. I make my first verse location one, my second verse location four, and if there is a third verse location seven. My first chorus is location two, my second chorus is location five and my third chorus is location eight. Turn around after the first chorus is location three, solo after the second chorus is location six and the Outro is location nine. I have always designated the top of file as location 77 and the end of fade is location 99. If you have a long verse then you name the second half of it 11 or 44 or 77. If you have a long chorus you name the second half of it 22 or 55 or 88. Simple Nashville stuff but it works.
What would be your guys approach to organizing a session with multiple songs? I made a mistake of using the same session, we recorded 9 songs and overdubs now I have a super huge session with a hundred tracks that goes on forever. I'm looking into exporting the individuals song as new sessions. I dropped markers for every take and made a playlist for every overdub. Just wondering if there's a better approach. Thanks!
Thanks Ben so many pitfalls learning Pro Tools. I love the program but when I began this PT's journey back in 2014 I had no idea what I was getting into. Up until recently a year ago I had spent more time NOT recording because of the learning curb it really sucks. I am a player who has to be an engineer by default
I concur… I got frustrated and decided to just take an expensive pro tools course at Berklee online college … I am in the 5 th week of the first course and I have learned more in that time than the last 5 years or more. I was going down those TH-cam rabbit holes jumping from one concept to the next and not getting a structured basic understanding of Pro tools may levels of functionality. I am no longer intimidated by the nuances of the software it”s like learning advanced math..hard to do trig and calculus if you never totally got the basics of algebra and geometry.
Thank You! Strait to the point, extremely clean and efficient... Thank You!!!
thank you for the kind words

@@leftofcenter4 thanks maybe I will do the same
Worse when the session is sent with no audio files
how come my clips in the edit window aren't color coordinated with the track color,s which are correct?
being color blind makes the coloring part hard. Shades start lookin screwy lol
Luckily I've stayed organized since I started making music so I Don't waste much time reorganizing my projects
God, I hope by today people don't send out a sessions to be mixed that looks like yours did at the beginning. Smh
