One of the essential playback features you'll find in every DAW is a loop playback or cycle feature. Loop playback is precisely that: playback that loops around the selection. Loop recording is different, and is accessed by right-clicking the Record button.
There are several record modes, and these are beyond the scope of this article; suffice it to say that if you want to record over the same guitar solo over and over again in search of the perfect take, loop playback is fine for rehearsing, but you'll need loop record to capture it.
In loop playback, looping only occurs if there is a section of the timeline selected, and it is the timeline selection which dictates the loop.
If you find you are selecting clips on the timeline and playback is beginning from somewhere else, you might have the timeline and edit selections unlinked. It's very well worth understanding the difference for the five percent of the time you might want them unlinked: so much so that I recommend the Pro Tools Techniques column from SOS May for anyone who needs to know how it works.
A related playback mode which is useful to anyone using loops in their projects is the oft-overlooked Dynamic Transport. Three things happen automatically when dynamic transport is activated: loop playback is switched on, timeline and edit selections are unlinked, and the primary timeline ruler doubles in depth, revealing the Playback Start marker.
Dynamic Transport mode introduces the Playback Start marker — the blue triangle in this screen at — which sets the start position independently of any timeline or edit selection. One feature that Dynamic Transport enables is dragging timeline selections. If, say, you are looping bars and you want to loop bars , simply drag and drop the timeline selection to the right. However, this is secondary to the most useful feature of Dynamic Transport, which is that you can start playback from anywhere on the timeline, meaning that the timeline selection no longer controls playback.
Firstly you should note that recording in Loop Playback mode does not work for audio tracks; Loop Record will need to be engaged for recording audio in the same way that you did for MIDI see above.
The default behavior of Pro Tools is to record one whole file audio clip each time you press record, which is then divided into a number of separately numbered subset clips, one for each pass, with the most recent subset clip created being displayed on the playlist, and therefore the one that plays back if you stop recording and play the session. Previous subset clips known as takes can be accessed in the same way as MIDI takes see above. One whole file audio clip, and four subset audio clips, which represent four takes, shown in the Clip List.
Note: if you stop recording less than half way through a take less than halfway through the playback selection , that take is not captured.
This allows you to complete the final take without capturing a further partial take, by stopping recording after the end of the final take. Again, one whole file audio clip is recorded each time you make a recording, but each subset audio clip one 'take' per pass is placed on its own playlist.
You can view the playlists created by choosing 'playlists' from the Track View Selector. Look out for a companion article to this one on The MPV Hub which will show you how to organize and edit your takes and playlists. More articles by this author. That sounds like a strange one, firstly have you tried closing the session and Pro Tools completely and reloading it?
Where abouts within the window has it disappeared from? Your email address will not be published. Introduction In this tutorial we will be looking at the different recording modes available to you within Pro Tools, while users are of course aware that you can record within Pro Tools, most newcomers may not be aware of the various recording types available and may be missing out on oppertunities to simplify their recording tasks… Pro Tools systems, by standard, offer four recording types including Normal Nondestructive , Destructive , Loop , and QuickPunch , if you are fortunate enough to own either a HD system or a Pro Tools system with the Complete Production Toolkit installed, you will also benefit from a further two recording modes in the form of TrackPunch and DestructivePunch.
Destructive Record Mode Destructive mode is generally favoured by those who may not have sufficient storage space on their computer to have the luxury of storing each and every take. Loop Record Mode Loop record mode allows you to record over and over again between recording markers in a nondestructive manor, providing your selection is at least one second in length.
QuickPunch QuickPunch mode allows you, at the touch of a button, to instantly either start or stop nondestructive recording while playback continues regardless. MIDI Recording While we are discussing the different record modes available within Pro Tools I thought it would be a good time to quickly touch on some options you have when recording MIDI data into your sessions as well. Final Words So a pretty lengthy article, but hopefully one you have found beneficial. Tags: setup.
How can i normalize and gain and silence in Pro tool 11 Reply. Hi Axe, That sounds like a strange one, firstly have you tried closing the session and Pro Tools completely and reloading it? Also, my Mbox 2 is not working as my computers audio output either. Still strange. You shouldn't be able to hear anything without the meters moving, unless you've turned the input monitoring knob on the mbox. If not, go to the input tab, select all, hit delete, then hit default to repopulate the list.
Do the same for the output tab. Do you have a soundcard that is on the motherboard? If so, you need to go into your bios and disable it!
Click to expand But, I will give it a shot I have no ideas of my own. And I have turned the mix knob on the Mbox 2 , I just thought to point that out as the Mbox 2 is at least processing some audio.
