One of the things I like about Pro Tools is that Digidesign are usually pretty good at responding to user requirements, and the Pro Tools 7 upgrade includes many small enhancements that are nonetheless very worthwhile. So, for many, the fact you can now do so will be a big, big deal! Another feature that frustrated me in previous versions was not being able to drag and copy Send slot assignments in the same way you could drag and copy insert plug-ins, but in PT7 this is possible.
And speaking of dragging, as with REX files, you can now drag and drop MIDI and audio files from the Finder or Windows Explorer directly into Pro Tools , and when adding multiple Regions to the Edit window you can set whether they should be stacked from top to bottom on different tracks or left to right on the same track. You can also drag and drop audio files from Digibase directly to a plug-in window, for plug-ins that support this behaviour — the new version 7-compatible release of Digidesign's own audio loop-manipulation plug-in Synchronic already does.
This means if you select a Region in the Edit window, the track on which that Region is located will be automatically selected. In previous versions of Pro Tools , all processing on MIDI data happened off-line, and involved manipulating the actual Regions on tracks. PT7 introduces real-time MIDI processing via the new Real-Time Properties window and display section in the Edit window's Track List, the combination of which allows you to process all Regions on a track with a set of global parameters, or set specific parameters that affect only one Region.
If you've ever used other sequencers, you should be able to draw parallels to these new features in Pro Tools from concepts like Cubase 's Inspector and Event Infoline and Logic 's Track and Region Parameter boxes. The resolution menu allows you to choose the note lengths from a whole note to a 64th note, and there are additional flags for dotted and triplet values.
A really nice touch is the inclusion of various 'groove' quantise settings in the style of other, well known sequencers, which you can also access from the resolution menu, including Logic the infamous 8A, 8B, and so on , Cubase , Feel Injector and the Akai MPC series.
Pro Tools 7 introduces a new track type called Instrument tracks, consolidating an audio-based track and a MIDI track into one. Notice how MIDI controls are provided in the Instrument View section on both the Edit and Mixer windows, in additional to the standard audio controls on the channel. The Duration parameter lets you change the length of notes in a variety of different ways.
You can simply add or subtract to a length in musical time which you can specify either in ticks, or in whole notes to 64th notes of regular, dotted or triplet values , or you can adjust a legato parameter, either to widen the distance between notes or introduce overlap, also in musical time.
Finally, you can scale the lengths via a percentage value as well. Velocity enables you to either add or subtract a value from all velocities, or scale the velocities by a percentage.
And, finally, Transpose enables you to either transpose note pitches by octaves and semitones, or set all notes to the same pitch with a useful Transpose To command.
There's also a separate Real-Time Properties window, which allows you to set up these five properties for the selected track in more detail than is possible from the Edit window View, with additional options for the Quantise, Duration and Velocity parameters. However, it's also possible to set these properties individually for specific Regions, by choosing Region instead of Track from the Apply pop-up menu in the Real-Time Properties dialogue.
Disabling Region-specific Properties again won't set the Region back to using the track's Properties until you click the Clear Region Properties button in the Real-Time Properties window. Clicking Write to Region will process just the selected Region, while clicking Write to Track will process every Region on a track with the track-level Properties. If you have a track that contains Regions with both track-level and Region-specific properties, Pro Tools will display a window asking if you want to process only the Regions assigned to track-level properties, or if you want to set all Regions to track properties and process everything.
The Select Notes and Split Notes pages have been combined, generating more options for selecting notes based on velocity, duration and relative position. There's also a new option when splitting notes that enables you set whether the split data gets cut or copied to the clipboard, a new track, or a new track per MIDI note pitch. This puts notes of each different pitch onto a different track, which is useful for 'exploding' MIDI drum parts. Here you can see that the first and third MIDI Regions are affected by the track settings as indicated by the 'T' icon in the upper right-hand corner while the middle Region is affected by the properties in the window as indicated by the 'R' icon.
The quantisation options have also been consolidated, occupying two pages in the MIDI Operations window, rather than three as before, and including a Randomise option.
There's also a Remove Overlap command, and Transform Sustain Pedal to Duration, which uses any sustain pedal data to adjust the note lengths. Finally, the Transpose page also includes the new options from the Real-Time Properties window as well. A nice touch in the piano-roll MIDI editor is that you can now click on the mini-piano-keyboard with various modifier keys to make pitch-based selections and audition notes.
This should be familiar to users who have worked with other sequencers like Cubase. For me, though, the thing I miss the most when working with Pro Tools as a sequencer is the fact you can't open Regions from multiple tracks in an editor simultaneously.
I like the way Pro Tools is mainly a two-window application, for the most part, so I wouldn't want to advocate a new window, but if there was some way of expanding the Edit window to show one large piano-roll-style editor displaying several Regions across different tracks, I think more people would feel comfortable in sequencing with Pro Tools.
It's important to see multiple Regions superimposed on top of each other for harmonic reasons, and a dedicated graphical MIDI editor window would also help when you want to see and edit MIDI Controllers and MIDI notes simultaneously without switching to different views. Pro Tools 7 is a pretty impressive piece of software, and it's an interesting update in that although there are many great new features, it doesn't feel like there's a single really dramatic, life-changing feature.
But I don't mean this as a criticism because, instead, it seems Digidesign have just focussed on making the application simply better — every new feature, whether big or small, leaves you thinking 'Oh great, that's really going to help me. In terms of stability, I might put my neck out and say that Pro Tools 7 seems like the most stable initial release of a Pro Tools version to date, and this is a good thing.
In two weeks' use albeit only on Mac OS X the application only crashed twice, and once was when I was trying to push the RTAS processing to the limit for the performance comparisons. But that's not to say PT7 crashes when you run a large number of RTAS plug-ins, because after I had to Force Quit Pro Tools due to the 'spinning beachball of doom', I reloaded the application, performed the same test and everything was fine.
The other time was when I was dragging a converted REX Region Group from the Region List to an empty Edit window so that Pro Tools would create a new audio track which is now possible in version 7 , which is a little more worrying, although I wasn't able to reproduce that problem either.
For audio recording, editing and mixing, Pro Tools is hard to beat. It's ironic that these days Pro Tools is regarded as an expensive option, when 10 years ago, Digidesign were hailed as the company to bring affordable hard-disk recording to the masses. And while a Pro Tools HD system is indeed more expensive than purely host-based options, the quality and guaranteed performance it offers are hard to argue with.
I'm not sure if I'd want to sequence in Pro Tools myself, mostly because of the lack of a really powerful graphical MIDI editor; but depending on your sequencing requirements, Pro Tools 7 offers the best functionality yet for this task.
A friend of mine recently was working with a couple of composers who sequenced an entire film score in Pro Tools 6. If you're a Pro Tools user already, the version 7 upgrade should definitely be considered a must-have. In terms of an audio environment, I still think Pro Tools is the standard to beat: it might not have every feature offered by competing products, but it works and is dependable.
While there is no single killer feature in Pro Tools 7 , Digidesign have instead focused on making the application better for every user, releasing what is overall a must-have upgrade.
See Digidesign web site for options. Even so, it is a highly recommended tool. Helpful 0 Unhelpful 0 You have already voted this. Reply WinningPC February 4, at pm. Reply Mehmet July 24, at pm. Leave a reply Cancel reply. Your total score. Register New Account.
