Re: There's much about PT i don't understand despite having RTFM

Hi, In regards to reading the Pro Tools 12 manuals what methods work best as if I use preview and do a say all I find that the first letter gets cut off of the text which does not make it very helpful? Is there a good method for converting the documents to html files or something that the talking book players can read so I keep the header navigation of the user guides? I mainly want to brush up on the Pro Tools 12 user guides so I would like some method for remembering where I left off or setting up preview not to cut off the first letter of words. Better yet is there a method to convert the documents to audio files by chapter using the mac voices? Nick Gawronski On Tue, 19 May 2015, Krister Ekstrom wrote:

Ah ok, thanks Slau for the info, the bits i found in the reference guide were a 
bit over my head but then again it was probably due to the fact that i wasn’t 
particularly interested in that section of it all back then.
I promise to look it up in the guide should i need it.:-)

Hi Krister,

Beat detective is used for things like generating bar|beat markers to an 
existing drum track or to separate clips based on transients in drum track. The 
Clips can then be quantized to the bar|beat grid. I've used Beat Detective only 
a few times but many years ago. It has recently become more accessible and, 
yes, you can use it although it'll take some trial and error. With the scope of 
its capabilities comes a learning curve best attacked by reading the pages 
devoted to it in the Reference Guide. The concepts are essentially simple but 
their implementations depend upon what the end result needs to be. In other 
words, if you're trying to match a tempo map to existing drums, it requires a 
particular approach and if you're trying to slice up a drum performance to 
match an existing tempo, it takes a slightly different approach. There are 
elements that define how the existing audio is categorized in subdivisions and 
how sensitive the detection will be for the analysis. There are visual markers 
that help a sighted user determine the desired level of sensitivity which makes 
it a little more difficult for a blind user but that's where the 
experimentation comes in.

As I said, I've used it in the past but the kind of music I record doesn't call 
for Beat detective. The music I record is very much not on the grid. If you're 
doing dance music or hip-hop then it'll be more useful. Keep in mind that 
anything Beat Detective does, you can do manually. Beat detective is just a 
tool to make the job easier and less time-consuming. If it's the tool you need 
to use, then it's worth learning its ins and outs.

HTH,

Slau

Hi there,
Ok, that maybe was a pretty pathetic subject line, sorry for that. Anyways what 
i was about to ask is can a blind person use the so called beat detective and 
what do you do with it? Is it for imported tracks or such?
