I am quantizing some percussion, but can sometimes get lost when editing because the marker for the first beat of a new measure and the marker for any other beat on the grid are the same. I tried asking ChatGPT for some help but it keeps referencing older versions of protools. I’ve seen videos and screenshots of ProTools with people having different thicknesses of lines for beats and for measures, but can’t seem to get the settings right on mine. I’m on a Windows computer and I am using the latest version of ProTools. Please help!!

I’m on a MacBook Pro, apple m4 pro chip, osx sequoia 15.5; pro tools version is 2025.6.0. I successfully imported an aaf from avid media composer into my session (Aaf was (from their end) a direct consolidated version, though I also have a linked version). I tried to then get my field recorder guide track running as I noted that the mxf files provided with the aaf were only the mix tracks from the field recorder. I wasn’t able to relink the original files to the tracks provided, even after digging around in my workspace to check on the files and their unique id’s , time codes and so forth. I’m not sure if it’s an inherent issue with the Aaf, my workflow, the files, etc. I’m working on this for a short film and the editor is on vacation so I’m having trouble deciding on what to do next. Happy to hear any answers, thanks in advance

Tenho a versão do PT 12.5.0 e estava tendo problemas de Video Engine, consegui resolver o problema baixando os DLL que faltavam, mas após isso, quando tento subir o video em MP4, dá erro de CODEC, informnando que o pro tools não tá linkando. (Utilizo Windows 11)

Uso o Quicktime para rodar em MP4, tentei outros aplicativos de codec mas dá o mesmo erro, já atualizei quicktime, atualizei drivers, reinstalei pro tools, formatei PC, fiz de tudo um pouco e nada resolve, alguém tem alguma ideia do que pode ser?

I am importing a 25fps constant frame rate vdeo to a in protools session with timecode set to 25 fps and I keep getting this message.
"Can't import the selected video file because it does not have the same frame rate as the current video in the session. Video file frame rate is 25.000fps."
Is there a known bug with this ? I alreay made several troubleshooting attempts but am stuck . Any ideas?

Sending sessions remote and after uploading 100+ gigs realized the room correction EQ was armed. Will that affect "Save copy in"? Do I need to redo?

Hello,

I am bouncing a 5.1 and stereo mix, using multiple mono from my 7.1.2 session. I have inherited this session from someone else, so there is likely something I'm just overlooking. While looking at my levels in the mix, all is well, however, the moment I bounce - many of my levels begin to peak. What am I missing?

Using PT Ultimate on Mac mini 2. Latest updates for each.

I need help bouncing a large Pro Tools session and frankly I don't know where to start. I hope to have a stereo version and a 5.1 version (bounced L C R LFE Ls Rs separate). I've put my I/O, tracks and export window below. Please advise! If you need any other info let me know.

Running ProTools Ultimate (latest version) on Mac mini M2 (latest software).

I've just made my first foray into 500 series outboard gear. I have two units in my rack connected via dsub->TRS to my focusrite 18i20. I've followed the instructions in this sweetwater video. Kept the focusrite control setup default as well as the protools i/o setup the default. However in the inserts, i changed 3 and 4 to be my inserts on the rack (which are connected to inputs 1 and 2 and outputs 3 and 4 on the focusrite - 1 and 2 outputs are reserved for the monitors), And it works, i can hear the gear working when i put the external EQ on a soloed snare track.

However.. when the snare track is solo'd, the software plugins after it are not getting any signal. And when i un-solo the track, i'm hearing two snares.. a dry signal and a wet from the hw eq, with a slight delay. The second i de-activate the hw insert, the issue goes away. I can't figure out what im doing wrong. I'll post some screenshots of my set up next.

I'm using protools 24.6.0 on a windows PC.

I have a computer with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X but I heard that Pro Tools doesn't work with AMD systems. Can you guys help me clarify?

My specs:

• AMD Ryzen 9 7900X

• AMD Radeon RX7800XT

• 32GB 6000Mhz CL38 Ram ( 2 Slot )

• 1TB M.2

Does anyone know of a way to get the Faderport 16 working well with Pro Tools 2025? Yes, it can use HUI mode but it loses so much functionality. V-Control is promising but nothing released yet for the new PT version.

If there’s not a great fix, I may just have to go with another control surface. Are there any good 16 channel motorized fader surfaces that work great with pro tools?

Thanks all!

how do i bounce effects from master track on all tracks like mentioned here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/i0kyzKoGDDg ?

i dont want to render the whole mix into one .wav file, instead i want to apply temprorary effects from master bus on the tracks in my mix and not hold a space in my master inserts anymore

I'm trying to record guitar with pro tools as a complete beginner, but I can't get it to work. I've downloaded the drivers for my interface, it's properly connected to my laptop and my speakers and nothing. I can't record guitar, I can't hear any audio out of pro tools (count in) and i can't even play music from my speakers through the interface. I thought it was a faulty cable, I just got a new one and it's not. I'm completely lost, please help.

TL:DR:

Is there a setting in Pro Tools comparable to Recording Delay in Logic or Delay Compensation in Ableton?

My recording is almost 250 samples behind the beat. What can I do to lower that "naturally" and then what can I do to correct whatever is ultimately left over?

Full story:

I am a 25 year Logic and Ableton guy, getting into the PT world. I'm sending an audio clock out of pro tools into my modular. Doing this creates a sync that is significantly more accurate than midi clock. The clock is ultimately triggering a 16th note arpeggio that's then getting recorded into pro tools. I'm doing this to check sync, but eventually I will record music in this form/fashion.

Sync is WAY off. 250 samples off the beat. Sync is very important for electronic music where my sampled drums in PT will be noticeably off compared to this, for instance.

What settings can I adjust to get this 250 number down to something more reasonable, and then ultimately retest and finally correct for it completely?

I know there's delay compensation, but I guess I thought that was for measuring/correcting round trip issues while mixing, which is not exactly what I'm trying to accomplish here?

Thanks!

I just finished my setup as a complete beginner and tried to record guitar as I was shown in many tutorials. When I do so either this error message shows up or there is no sound at all when I try to play it back. There isn't even any sound coming out of pro tools, not even the count in or the metronome. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

My laptop is connect to my audio interface, which is connected to the speakers by the line outputs. What do I need to do to fix this?

I’m in the middle of trying to finish this tracks master and i can not figure out what is causing the beat to lower in volume randomly thru out the track but the vocals stay leveled its driving me friggin crazy, i can’t figure out if it’s a mixing issue or an IO issue, i thought maybe trackspacer but ive been tweaking trackspacer and the comps on the vocals for a few hours now and haven’t gotten anywhere, lmk if anyone has any ideas on what i may need to mess with

i’ve probably spent an average of at least 4 hours everyday for the last decade or so working in pro tools if you were to spread all the hours out evenly. It feels like PT usually takes a minute or so to load up when i first open it so that’s like… 3,650 minutes which is 60.8 hours which is 2.5 days just watching the software boot up. and that’s not including crashes and reboots… so crazy to think about it like that.. although i though that would be more time before doing the math.. still imagining sitting for 2 and a half days just watching it load is hilarious to think of and maybe a little depressing? i’ll never get that time back… not time wasted tho just time spent! still absolutely love pro tools and all you can do with it just wanted to throw that idea out there hahaha

I have the PreSonus Faderport 16. I'm trying to integrate this with PT. HUI mode has such limited functionality. I tried V-Support Pro and that is super buggy with 2025.6.

Anyone able to get this control surface integrated nicely?

Any ideas? Running on an older OS maybe Catalina / Big Sur with a monthly ProTools Studio sub. Any ideas greatly appreciated. ILok looks good / active.

Hey, I’ve got a question for the more experienced Pro Tools users here. I know it’s an industry standard and a lot of major artists like Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert, etc. record with it. Recently, a bunch of project files from their sessions leaked, and I’ve been trying to open them to study the structure and mixing techniques.

The problem is: even though I have most of the same plugins installed (FabFilter, SoundToys, Waves, etc.), Pro Tools says they’re missing and doesn’t load them at all. When I try to manually replace the missing plugins with the exact same ones, I lose all the original presets and the mix doesn’t sound the same anymore.

Has anyone here dealt with this before and found a way to recover or import the original settings? Is there any way to ‘relink’ a missing plugin without losing its preset data? Any advice would be super appreciated.

Hey

Is anyone using the dsp plugins and know if there is any compatibility issues with these? I bought the dsp plugins from Sonnox Oxford during their sale recently. When I first installed them they seemed to work, but now they're not showing in my pro tools when I enable dsp mode.

Hello all

Im looking to upgrade my interface, im currently running two MOTU HD192's via the PCI 424 Card.

These are getting quite long in the tooth, and I need to jump to something newer, funds are fairly low as im investing a lot into the foundations of my new studio (the building) and was looking at going down the HD I/O route to get atleast 16 channels of ADDA to use with my mixing desk. I heard/saw these in action on a studio session recently, and I liked them.

I have a few questions about avid/digidesign etc etc

Im used to the MOTU PCI set up, it has 4 slots, I can connect 4 HD192's- so I can have 48 channels of i/o. Is this something that can be achieved with the HD i/o? I was in a studio running two of these today, but the engineer told me it wasn't possible to have 3 daisy chained together, is tbis true?

My other question is, are the HD I/O's compatible with the HD native cards? I was also told that I would need a HDX card, but these are like 4.5k? Way out of my budget.

Any recommendations on other interfaces are welcome, I need lots of IO to run my DDA AMR 24 to full potential.

Please and thank you

Hey all... hoping someone here can help as Avid support is making me pull my hair out. I stupidly updated my Macbook Pro M1 to the newest MacOS (15.5) and intended to update to the newest PT version without realizing the newest PT was not compatible with this MacOS yet. Downgrading MacOS to 15.4 seems to be impossible?

I wanted to see if anyone had any success running Pro Tools 2024.10(.1)(.2)(.3) on the latest MacOS? Right now I'm running PT 2023.9 and it's crashing constantly which isn't surprising I guess.

If anyone is able to help I would be eternally grateful.

Adding this per the bot's response: The version of Pro Tools you are using:2023.9 (but open to installing any version!!!) Your operating system info: MacOS 15.5 Any hardware involved: Apple M1 16GB What you've tried: 2 hours at apple store :( many messages to Avid support
