*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…)
*dashboard* –>
.
*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*
