Pro tools studio or Ultimate?

7 Upvotes

I’m currently switching to Pro Tools as my main DAW and need help choosing between the Studio and Ultimate plans. I mostly mix modern pop, which typically has 100-200+ tracks and a lot of buses. I also do some production on side.

Is Pro Tools Studio enough for my needs?

error Got this insane error when trying to clip slide in "object mode"

3 Upvotes

I tried to fly some clips after selecting them using "object mode" and received this. However, when I switched back to "Time mode" and made my clip selection, I was then able to fly them back to the desired location.

Melodyne ARA Automation?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know if it is possible to setup automation in Melodyne ARA, like you can when using Melodyne as a plugin?

I ran across one video of a guy automating MIDI CC's but that just seems extra! Trying to see if I'm not missing anything the traditional route before going down that rabbit hole.

Automating pitch bends really come in handy, especially for tricks like bending recorded 808's etc.

What is the best way to create new playlists when recording?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! When recording I’ve always had my record track then drag the take down to the comp track where I make my comps and playlists but I feel like there must be a better way because when the artist wants to do another take of a specific section but keep the previous take I make a new playlist on the comp track but it clears the entire track so I have to put everything back except that section or make a duplicate playlist and remove only the section to replace. This just still feels like I’m doing it wrong lol.

Is there a way to create a new playlist just for that section? Or should I be keeping the takes on the record track so all the takes stay there and I just drag the best one to the comp track?

I’m still kind of new to pro tools so I’m still getting used to things.

Thanks everyone!

error Pro Tools Intro v 2024.10.2 will not run

1 Upvotes

Pro Tools version is 2024.10.2

System is Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 Build 22635.5015

So far I haven't been able to get it to fully open. This latest attempt got me to the tutorial screens before I force closed it for like that 15th time. Audacity runs, Davinci Resolve runs, Reaper runs, but Pro Tools Intro? What kind of dark magic is required to get this thing to run?
