*SWEETWATER OVERVIEW*

*REFERENCE GUIDE* —>

-CHAPTER 11-
(SESSIONS / PROJECTS / TRAX)

*PAGES 202 – 203*

*2 PAGES LONG*

.

*by default, all ‘templates’ are stored in this folder on your computer* —>

.

.

*these folders contain all the built-in ‘.PTXT files’*

(regular project files are in .PTX format)

(the 2nd ‘T’ designates a ‘template status’ in the ‘file extension’)

.

*FILE PATH* —>

/Users/joga/Documents/Pro Tools/Session Templates

.

*if ‘pro tools app’ is closed* —>

*when you open .ptx files, the ‘pro tools app’ opens to the ‘edit window’ of that project*

*but .PTXT files WILL NOT*

.

*they will open to this ‘panel’* —>

.

*they assume that you are creating a new ‘project’ (.ptx) file from the ‘template’ (.ptxt) file*

.

*include with all ‘sessions’* –>.

“instrument track”
(for ‘click’)

.

*sends*
(for headphone monitoring system’)

.

*reverb sends*
(for certain ‘drum tracks’)

.

(your new template will be available as an option when you create a new project…)

.

.

*in this example…

*10 MONO AUDIO TRAX*

(8 drums)
(1 bass)
(1 electric guitar)

.

*create 10 new audio mono trax* –>

[SHIFT] + [COMMAND] + [n]

.

.

*click on the right ‘plus sign’ to add different types of tracks* –>

1 stereo piano track

1 click-track

.

.

.

.

.

(rename each track by clicking on the ‘default name in the ‘track timeline row header’…)

.

*navigate to ‘track list’*

.

*MIX WINDOW* –>

[COMMAND] + [ = ]

.

(for the 10 mono tracks, ‘pro tools’ automatically assigns ‘sequential inputs’)

(meaning that if we had 10 inputs on our ‘pre-amp’, the 10 mono tracks would each get their own ‘input’)

(i only have ‘2 inputs’ on my pre-amp)

(‘mono track 1’ is ‘input 1’)

(‘mono track 2’ is ‘input 2’)

(the next 8 mono tracks are all assigned to ‘input 1’)

(the stereo track is automatically assigned to ‘input 1 / input 2’)

(if you have 2 more inputs, you can re-assign them to the ‘stereo track’ for ‘input 11’ + ‘input 12’)

(the ‘instrument track’ does not require an ‘input’)

.

*the ‘template’ also includes GROUPS + PANNING*
