Jeff Wexler Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thank you, Alex! This is a really goo real world response for all those trying to figure out how to do playback properly with ProTools. Thankfully, I don't have to do it myself (I always make sure I hire someone who knows what they're doing) but I don't always get someone as knowledgeable and meticulous as you.

Marc Wielage Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Very helpful! Thanks for the tips, Alex. This is one of those things I usually get saddled with once in a blue moon. Usually by the next time I have to do it, enough time has passed that I completely forget how I did it before! I'll clip this one out and file it away, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Brandon Pert Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Alex had a great answer. Here is an old Sound on Sound article that discusses the topic as well. I just had to do playback on a show. I had the composer provide a separate click track for each song ahead of time with the heads of the files lined up. This way I could mute sections of it as needed and didn't have to worry about breaking out beat detective or doing any extra work. I would think if you can get in communication with them early enough, most composer's would provide this since they usually have a click track in their session already, all they need to do is print it.
