Heads up. You need to install Quicktime 7.6 for Windows not the 7.7.9 version as it willl not allow you to finish installing it if you have the 7.7.9 version :)
Why doesnt it let me convert the beat that I downloaded I clicked in the convert tab and nothing. When I click on the beat in my downloads file it does switch over to those two little boxes
im importing from cubase pro into pro tools and pro tools keeps making two files of the same file why? evrytime i import it imorts the same file twice.
Chris, I'm a total beginner. I have a track of guitar and drums. All I want to do is record a bass track onto the guitar and drum track. I can listen to the guitar and drum track and play bass along with it - audio interface is Focusrite Scarlet 2x2 - but I don't understand how to record the bass and then merge them together. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Peace and love, Brady
I appreciate your tutorial. This is the first one I've watched but I will be watching more. I've subscribed to your channel. But a question: I am pretty sure I done this trying to import audio and they didn't copy to the import or clip windows. They were Mp3 files and I tried "convert" as well. It done nothing. It appears that it supports Mp3 but should it be a wav file? I even went to preferences and made sure it was set to be able to. I'm not home right now so I can't tell you exactly what I done. Also, the area in the bottom right of the import audio window was grey and could not be changed. What might be the issue?
hey nice video really informative and your not beating about the bush , so heres my problem i am sure u can resolve it : my imported audio is not giving me any play back neither in the import window nor in the imported audo track , An audio track is created but it plays it seems like the audio track is empty as there are no waves in the track
I gotta watch all of your content on daw's. I had/have fl studio 9 producer's edition. I just got fl studio 20 and pro tools. Thank you for making the info easy to understand. I'm a beast with fl studio 9 but 20 is night and day different. Im'a get it though. Just gotta use it and get familiar with it. Thank you bro.
Cannot open the the selected file because it does not contain data that can be imported via import session data . What does this mean ? Plzzzzzz help lol
no no no what do i do when i want to load my track stems and theyre all at 441? i didnt make the beat but i need it to sound the same same as it does in itunes and match it to my 48000 khz..thanks
for some reason when I try to import a beat, it stays stuck on a number and tries process but won’t ever fully import. if I click cancel, then pro tools will crash. Can anybody help?? I’ve redownloaded it too
I did what you said on the tutorial to import a instrumental but that second arrow to look for the Is not popping up. Also it keeps saying I need to download apple QuickTime player but I have a Windows 10 computer software and it does not support it. What do I do now?
hey Chris, im a total beginner in pro tools. When I import an audio (beat) to pro tools it sounds very distorted and noisy. And the problem is that, where you have "convert files", I only have "copy files". Really don´t know what to do man
Icy Red try copying files. One thing I will say is make sure the sample and matches. Also sometimes when you have too much other things using the hardware as the main driver that causes issues as well. I usually make sure my computer main sound source isn’t using the interface so pro tools can. Sometimes restarting works. Sometimes trashing the preferences. But trying matching sample rate first and making sure the computer and no other program that uses the sound is open
I have tried this several times and I always get a message at the bottom of the Import Audio screen that says "this file can not be imported because Quick Time is not installed" I'm using Windows 10 which should not require Quick Time as windows 10 is supposed to have all that built in.
@@UnitedDestinyEntertainment I found a work around. I found a free on line converter that converted the .ptx to a .wav and then imported it I to ProTools
@@UnitedDestinyEntertainment I use windows and need to purchase protools, new to recording software. I write using Finale Notation software. Will have to import midi from finale into protools. Your video answered a lot of questions I had on how to do it.
@@UnitedDestinyEntertainment the new version has features that allow it to export files directly into protools, using older version and will update when I purchase protools '19.
my pro tools was working fine ,now when i go to drag and drop my instrumental or import audio , it never completes the import , a little window pops up and its some kind of error ? anybody had this issue ?
This week, I've tried importing audio into Pro Tools and it will go through the motions as usual. However in the end, the track I created doesn't show. It's the same issue when I'm trying to bounce a track. However it only works when I drag and then drop the track. Anyone know an easy way to fix the problem? P.S. I don't receive any error issues.
@@UnitedDestinyEntertainment It's crazy. In my case, I have had import nor export issues until this week. I'm going to call Avid customer care to see if they could update me on the matter.
Try getting pro tooz to work on a 32 channel mixer that you have never used before along with the fact that you've never used Pro Tools before. I'm sticking with Ableton and I'm burning the piece of s*** presonus
Pro Tooozz
HAAA !!LOL
Lmao was jus bouta say that
First time he said it, I was like, what? By the third time though, shit, I'm down.
Damn you you beat me to it
Man I'm glad I stumbled on your videos. This is very informative! I've always wanted to learn how to use Pro Tools. Very helpful!
THANK YOU!! Easy to follow as a beginner to Pro Tools. I will refer back to help understand this crazy language that is Pro Tools.
Thanks! I am working on that "Control-Shift-I
When I go to import my beat it comes up mute like completely flat no audio. How do I fix that
May not be a wav file. Check the file on something else
@@UnitedDestinyEntertainment thanks man I just converted it to WAV from MP3
I love pro 2s
Great channel name. Thanks for the help.
My protools keep crashing when I try to import an audio. I also get an error message "Cannot create new document because basic_string" Can you help?
Try trashing the preferences. But before you do right click and open as administrator
DUDE YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!god bless your awesomeness. love this. straight to the point, im binge watching these bad boyzzz rn
Starting in protools first. Can I import audio files from abelton, and amplitude software into protools to use in creating tracks?
Heads up. You need to install Quicktime 7.6 for Windows not the 7.7.9 version as it willl not allow you to finish installing it if you have the 7.7.9 version :)
Thank you, I will update that
Great stuff. Right to the point, and no BS.
This definitely helped. I’m watching how to import auto tune next if you have that
great video bro. but how do we get around the sample rate problem if it is 44100
You have to make sure whatever the host is says the same exact thing
Good info bro. Subscribed. Keep up the good, informational work.

I am using my HP I have pro tools are you trying to drag instrumental but it won't do it it's only play the song that's already done
How I do I get my beat is it something with the waiver to MP3?
@@maccpheen2137 do you have quicktime player installed?
but how did he get his tracks to work individually after the import? mine after the import stayed grouped
Your tracks should automatically be individually. What version are you using?
what about if i imported a wav file with notin on master is it the same as a split tracks
Glad I saw your video..super detailed

I can’t add audio :( I did exactly what u did but when I press done it only shows “choose a destination folder to open” rather than import the audio
You still hit up or choose this folder
Cannot open the the selected file because it does not contain data that can be imported via import session data . What does this mean ? Plzzzzzz help lol
Hey, great tutorial man. This is exactly what I needed to watch! Have u done any videos on correctly exporting tracks from pro tools??
I can go ahead and do that
no no no what do i do when i want to load my track stems and theyre all at 441? i didnt make the beat but i need it to sound the same same as it does in itunes and match it to my 48000 khz..thanks

Yes you have to download quicktime for pro tools. Install the latest version your computer will allow
If the latest version doesn’t work install 7.6

After import or just when you hit the play button?
How to add more tracks to the vocals after you add the instrumentals
Shift control N
why tell me I have to install apple QuickTime if I have pro tools in my window
Me too. And I don't have the option to choose which type of import I want
Same here pointless
If you install QuickTime it will allow you to install audio files
Victoria Fernandez del Casal did you install QuickTime?
@@UnitedDestinyEntertainment but I heard quicktime isn't supported anymore and is very vulnerable, is it safe to install?

Try reinstalling QuickTime or trashing your pro tools preferences

Good video, but what is “Pro Twos”??.
Exactly what I said lol thanks
New sub! Thanks Chris. Super helpful video

Install QuickTime on the computer. 7.6 version may work best.
All you have to do is install it
New subscriber bro! SUPER helpful video 🤙🏾

How do I import with windows 10? It says I need to install Apple quicktime to import the music file
Install quicktime

Depending on the version on system you’re using that happens. My MacBook is a 2012 model and only allows me to drag and drip audio but not import.

Good information

If it still doesn’t work for you install QuickTime player to your Mac or PC, that’s what worked for me
thanks bro
Pro tools won’t allow me to convert my mp3 file into a clip and add the track into the software. Anyone else have this problem? If so please help haha
you have quicktime installed? you likely wont need to convert it. Can you showme what you are doing?
Ive downloaded quicktime already and it still keeps saying download quick time when i try to open the file(instrumental) from protools
I can’t hear any Audio in pro tools🤣 I’m not sure why
did you figure it out?
I like how sometimes it sounds like hes say bro too's. Hehe. I love his accent.
