Man, that Eucon stuff is tweeky.  I got rid of my Artist Mix panels.  I could not keep them up and running.  Bye bye!

 

True true.  I am still struggling to set up Layouts for the S3.  Rarely if ever I'm successful, other times, I'm locked out of the Assign tab (when I click on the actual track pulldown, nothing happens.  AVID really needs to get their sh!# together.  I usually just run a stripped down (no layouts) version and just use memory locations/Window Configurations to get what I need on the board. That's the only work around I was able to manage without too much trouble.

The S6's at work are much more stable with the layouts.  It's almost like they don't really care anymore about this group of products since the S1-S4s came out.

Solved it!  Just deleted all my layouts and it went back to normal.

I'm hoping someone can answer this question for me?  

I have an AVID S3 with the Pro Tools Dock/ipad combo for my studio setup at home.

Usually, after creating a layout in EuControl, I can then just pressed the lefthand buttons on the S3 to call up my layouts.
 

However, for some reason, now when i press the Layout number, the iPad Control App switches to the proper layout but the S3 does not change the Faders themselves (it's stuck on my DX only tracks.

Is there a setting I accidentally set in EuControl Preferences that could have changed this?

Scrtching my head.

Has anyone else noticed that when you pull up the global clip gain  (Shft-Ctrl + -), after you make gain adjustments, sometimes the undo doesn't function? T

Sometimes it works, other times ...nada.

I was doing a bunch of dialog gain adjustments and did about 10 of them, changed my mind and decided to try and undo them.  No luck Chuck.

Not sure if it's just me or if others have noticed.

OH and btw;  I'm using a windows system.

Ha!  This only happens when I have a deadline.  It's like the App knows I'm in a hurry.  

Turns out others on AVID's DUC have noticed the same.  Apparently the latest ultimate 2019.5 has broken's EuCon's Layout and Assign pages.  UGH.

Hello All,

So I'm noticing a weird thing in EuControl when trying to create a layout and assign tracks to it for my S3?  Let me preface by saying I run on Windows.

I'm able to pull up EuControl from the S3 (Shift + Sel).

EuControls Sees Protools (I have my session open with the track's I'd like to add in the Assign page).

But in EuControl's  Assign tab all channel strips (1-16) which are by default set to auto assigned, won't let me change them. 
If I click on the dropdown nothing happens!  (I have display applications track numbers checked).

Further, if I switch to the Layouts tab, it won't let me name my Layout.  If I double click into an empty space everything greys out and nothing happens.  I won't accept any typing.

Has anyone else had this issue?  if so, how did you fix it?

Tried support and it's been hours -- no call back.  

Thanks,  John

Good news!!!! After getting really indignant with the AVID rep and basically showing my complete displeasure (in what I could only describe as the equivalent of yelling via email), they've decided to allow me to reinstate for the lower "renewal" price  instead of having to pay full freight!   Crisis averted.  Persistence pays off! 

My suggestion, for anyone in a similar predicament is to stand your ground and perhaps the same will happen for you.  :-)

Thanks for reminding me, you're right no warning, mine expires next week.

 

If you're interested:

I have extra Pro expander, Pro Limiter, Pro Compressor, Revibe, Reverb One, and Space for sale.

Thanks for the offer.  I'm going to wait and see what they do.  I sent an email in protest and we'll see if I get any traction before going full-nuclear on them.

I'm seriously thinking about ditching PT updates and support plan and just freezing my system as is.  I rarely if never use the support part of the plan.  I can just buy the plugin's outright I guess.

Thanks, I'll email here directly.  Much appreciated.

 

Who's Marianna?  Do you have a contact for her?

So apparently my system's upgrade and support renewal didn't go through in September. Never received an email or anything about the card being declined.  I'm just now finding out about this 6 months later when I opened an old mix project to re-mix it into another format and the pro-expander/compressor wouldn't load..

Now AVID says because I didn't update in a timely fashion (wihtin 30 days) I have to pay the full price for reinstatement (an extra 500 bucks).  You'd think they'd have some customer loyalty since I've been using their software since PT7.  Beware corporate greed. Disgraceful.  

Ha!  Thanks Dalton.  Yeah, I know how the smart tool works.  I use Pro Tools every day at work. 

My question is specifically about the grabber tool switching to this little sideways cupped hand.  I wanted to know how to toggle it off, and also what it's for.  I think this might be a new addition to the tool set because I don't remember seeing it before (I've been using PT since v7).

Hey Everyone!

So I noticed recently that when in Smart Tool mode, some times the Grabber tool (which is normally a 5 fingers outstretched hand) switches to what looks like a angled cupped hand?  Does anyone know what this does AND ALSO how to turn it on/off? (mostly off).  I noticed that when I click with that tool mode it draws a yellow line down into the region.

I tried looking it up in the manual, and in online and can't seem to find anything related to it.

Thanks!

Hello All,

I am attempting to encode a 5.1 source track into a 5.1 AC3 surround matrix using Neyrinck's Dolby Digital 2 plugin in Protools.  I am creating a blu-ray for festival submissions.

I seem to have everything in the right place (I've tested it in Dolby Digital 2's preview and all the correct channels are playing back in the assigned channel). 

However, when I take it over to my home theater system which is 7.1,  I've noticed that the surround channels (Ls/Rs) are playing out of the mid-room surrounds and NOT the back speakers as would just a 5.1 configuration.

When I play a consumer surround disk, they seem to play back properly, just my disk seems to be wonky.

I tried re-exporting with the EX bit extension but the disk still plays the same way.

My question is this:  Is there something in the encoding that I need to configure that might affect the distribution of the encoded channels?  How do I get the disk to map the Ls/Rs to  the rear channels?

Thanks for any guidance you can give me!

I do have vocalign but have had mixed results. Also it’s not really designed for the search and replace function I was hoping for

Thanks Phillip,

I agree it's gonna suck either way I slice it.  All I really have to go on is the original name of the file.  This was done properly and consistently so finding the actual ISO isn't an issue.  It's the relentless searching I need to do in order to achieve this. 

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an environmental documentary mix and the editor/director did not include all the audio feeds into the timeline edit and resulting AAF.    So I am trying to reconstruct the edited version of audio and replace the Lav Feed with the Boom. 

So I have all the original source RAW interviews that were recorded on location copied onto Temp tracks in the project.  

Is there any way to "match" by waveforms in Pro Tools 12HD?  This would be similar to the way PluralEyes and Premiere Pro matches audio by analyzing waveforms.  

Ideally, I'd like to pull up some sort of plugin window, select my "Source" sample, and then Select the 1 hour long "Target" and hit a FIND button and it would search through and highlight the matching waveform from that long interview so I could copy and paste into the timeline.

Is there any function in ProTools that does this or am I wishing for something that doesn't exist?

Thank you,

John

Sorry.  I didn't mean to be redundant redundant.  ;-)

Yeah that is what I meant, the vast majority of the time when a person says 23.98 they mean 23.976

 

I did this to mine. 

Now, I can plug in any straight 3.5mm stereo cable into it.  I use a 3.5mm/1/4" adapter.

John

23.98 is just a rounded up. 

It's shorthand for 23.976

Can I have your CMIT if you blow up in the process?
