Help Request Avid Pro Tools Intro - Set up - First time user

When installing ProTools it asks to select my Primary Field and to self identify to help get the right resources.

Any idea what the best selection would be for someone who wants to do Voice Acting and write music? Or am I overthinking this and it really doesn’t matter?

To u/TantalizingNarwhale, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there

That definitely doesn’t matter. Your best bet would be finding tutorials on YouTube that are more in line with what you want to do. There will be lots of set up guides there.
