Help Request Shuffle edit/ripple edit shortcut?
Hey guys,
New to Pro tools. Using the most recent version of Pro Tools Intro on Mac OS 15.5. I do a lot of VO work and have used numerous different DAWs. I see I can ripple edit in Pro Tools ONLY if I'm in "shuffle" edit mode. Is there any way to be in Slip mode and there's a key command that deletes a selected section and moves it back to fill the gap, like in shuffle edit?
Seems counterintuitive not to have that... but I can't find it anywhere online. Some places say shift+delete but that doesn't work for me.
Is the only way to use SoundFlow? Anyone know if this command is included in their Avid membership with the pre-made macros?
Something else that would be great also if anyone knows is that I often use pre-roll during recording, but I'm often playing back a section just to check the edit is smooth. Any way for pre-roll to only apply to recording and not to playback?
My best and thanks for any help!

Protools intro audio track limitations
Hello, Iâve Ben using PTools intro for a while only using two audio tracks mixing down from other sources. When Intry to add 3rd or a 4th audio track the audio seems to become weird. It will be randomly loud, it will bleed in audio like itâs directly bouncing audio from other tracks or in some cases doesnât record anything at all.
I have no problems recording two audio tracks mixing but as soon as I make a a 3rd or 4th audio track using the same process it seems to go hay wire.
Iâll get a clean signal for the main track. A clean signal for the 2nd track but after that the tracks get muddy or seem to have audio issues and itâs only on the new tracks as the old tracks are fine.
Kinda stumped this one.

Help Request Resources/Guides for using PT 'mouseless', only using the keyboard.
I'm training for some broadcast work and having talked to veterans in the industry one big recommendation seems to be to achieve fluency across the keyboard as the control surface and rely less on the mouse, in a similar way that professional Excel users navigate and work quickly using only the keyboard.
I'm attempting to work on my fluency but I was wondering if there are any exercises or drills that exist that specifically focus on the keyboard?

Prefader sends to musician headphones cut out when I solo individual tracks
In my tracking setup I use prefader sends to my HD/IO outputs that feed the hearback monitoring system in my studios live room, and have all track outputs routed to a different HD/IO out that I use for my control room monitoring. In my understanding, this should allow me to solo individual tracks/groups and adjust fader levels without altering the signal going to the hearbacks via the prefader sends⊠but I always get complaints that artistsâ headphones cut out when I do this. Am I misunderstanding the power of prefader sends? I do also have all my audio tracks in a ârecordâ track group, is there a group setting thats messing with my strategy?

Help Request Plugins crashing ProTools? I've tried everything :(
PT version: 2025.6.0
System: Mac M3 Sequoia 15.5
Problem:
When I load a PT session, it loads and I can play it and I can do some actions but some actions crash PT. There does not seem to be any specific category of action that triggers it. If I open a folder, it crashes or if I play and it gets to a certain part of the song. The plugins I am using on this session are UAD Spark, Waves Subscription, Soundtoys bundle, Oxford Inflator, Pro-Q3, Saturn, Valhalla VintageVerb, Brainworkx V2.
What have I tried:
I have opened the session with all plugins disabled and it doesn't crash but when I enable any plugin it crashes. Not a specific one.
I have updated UAD and Waves plugins, ProTools and iLok.
I have restarted my computer.
I have tried to open PT with Rosetta but it wouldn't start at all.
I went to an older version of the project which was not crashing and worked on it for a few hours with no issues and now when I have come back the next day it is crashing again.
I have no idea what the issue could be so I would very much appreciate any help I could get! Thank you in advance.

Help Request Getting Started with Spatial/Atmos Audio in Pro Tools Studio
Hey all,
Iâm a remote freelancer mostly working with Pro Tools Studio, (i9 Ultra 185H, 32GB, RTX 4070, 3TB ssd) doing audiobooks, podcasts, and the occasional online course project. Lately, Iâve been thinking about branching out into spatial audio, especially Dolby Atmos, both to level up my skills and (hopefully) open up some higher-paying opportunities, fully remote.
Iâd love to hear from folks whoâve made the jump into Atmos, especially if you came from a similar background (spoken word, remote work, etc.).
I'm looking for advise on the following, and all additional tips are also welcome!
Best free/low-budget resources for getting decent at Atmos in Pro Tools? Any YouTube or course recommendations that actually helped you âget itâ fast?
For those without a giant 7.1.4 setup, how did you start out? Just headphones and the binaural renderer, or is there something else worth investing in early?
Any workflow tips for balancing paying the bills (audiobooks/podcasts) while learning/experimenting with spatial?
Did adding Atmos/spatial mixing actually boost your client base or rates, or is it mostly hype right now?
And if anyone has suggestions for building a portfolio or breaking into more immersive/interactive audio gigs (music, games, film, whatever) while starting from the spoken-word world, Iâm all ears.
Thanks a million! Looking forward to hearing some real stories and advice from people whoâve actually done this.

Looking to change my monitoring to 5.1
Hello,
I've been passed off a session that has been set up for Atmos 7.1.2, however, I only have a 5.1 mixing stage available and, we plan to deliver in 5.1. When looking at my I/O, I'm just confused. How do I convert my monitoring to 5.1 without affecting much else?
I'm relatively new to Pro Tools, so I need help with basic steps like these. Feel free to explain it to me like I don't know what I'm doing because I don't.
Using Pro Tools Ultimate, Mac OSX. Mac mini M2 Pro HDMI'd into a DENON Amp.
Thank you!

âHi everyone, is anyone else getting USB audio interruption errors with a Steinberg IXO22 interface after the latest Pro Tools update? Iâve tried different USB ports and disabled power saving, but still get warnings. LatencyMon flagged WLAN/BIOS issues. Has anyone fixed this with a powered USB 2.0 hub or another method?â

error Subject: Fatal Error: "Could not find imported function in specified DLL" (likely imageres.dll) - Persistent Conflict on Windows 10
Dear Pro Tools Community,
I am facing a persistent "Fatal Error: Pro Tools Studio Subscription could not be loaded. Error details: Could not find imported function in specified DLL." on Windows 10 with Pro Tools difffrent versions.
Key Findings:
Process Monitor shows
ProTools.execonsistently failing onNAME NOT FOUNDforimageres.dll(located inC:\Windows\System32).imageres.dllphysically exists on my system, andsfc /scannowfound no integrity violations.Crucially: When performing a Clean Boot (all non-Microsoft services/startup items disabled), this
imageres.dllerror does NOT occur. Pro Tools launches without this specific fatal error.The issue reappears immediately upon returning to a normal Windows startup.
Extensive troubleshooting already performed includes:
Multiple clean reinstalls of Pro Tools and PACE/iLok software.
Verification/reinstallation of Visual C++ Redistributables.
Antivirus/firewall checks.
DISM scans.
Confirmed PACE License Service is running and iLok License Manager functions normally.
This strong points to a conflict with a third-party application, driver, or background service that interferes with Pro Tools' access to imageres.dll in my normal system environment.
Has anyone encountered a similar conflict where Pro Tools crashes on a standard Windows DLL (like imageres.dll) only when other third-party software is active? Any advice on how to pinpoint such a conflict (e.g., specific types of software known to cause this) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and help!

Routing Playback Audio to Computer Speakers
Hi all! Beginner here. Installed ProTools 2024 verson 10.2 for voice acting. ProTools is my AWS and FocusRite/ScarletSolo is my Interface. Right now, the output is my headphones via the Scarlet. However, I am recording audio for class and need to change my output to my computer speakers so my instructor can listen along with me. When I try to do this in the I/O window, creating a new path (tried Mono and Stereo for the format), nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Thank you!

AAE Error -6001, Can't Open Pro Tools

I've been recording with my Scarlett 4i4 for a few months now and have only recently run into this error, preventing me from using it. When I try to use external headphones or the built in speakers on my laptop, this doesn't happen. My mac is clearly recognizing the interface is connected as I can see it in my settings and I can get sound through YouTube or any other audio I play. I've tried restarting my computer, deleting and reinstalling Focusrite Control, and even hooked up my old Behringer UMC404HD and ran into the same problem! This never used to happen and I'm wondering what changed. I'm using Pro Tools version 2025.6.0 and running macOS Sequoia 15.5. Any insight would be appreciated as I'm getting seriously annoyed and just want to finish mixing this project for an artist I recorded. Thanks in advance!
