Pro Tools Basics: Add audio tracks and record

If you’re new to Pro Tools or new to computer-based recording this video is the first in a series of Pro Tools basics and it will show you how to quickly setup and record an audio track. Just about all of the major DAWS (digital audio workstations) use similar conventions for basic setup and recording. On the way we will discuss the edit window view selector and the importance of naming your tracks before recording. The basic process goes:

1. Create a track to record on

2. Set the proper routing for the track (inputs and outputs)

3. Enable the track(s) to be recorded

4. Record

*click the ” Youtube” button on the player to view the larger HD version.

    Nice job. You have a great instructor voice! I have started to use “Guitar Pro 6″ it give classical music scores & tablature scores. I think I will try to finish transcribing my original tunes onto it, and then I can become more familiar with the language (which i should have focused on long ago, obviously). Well, good to be alive.
    Thanks Dan,
    Dan
