The DVD is really great though. |
Thanks for the compliment(s). I'll pass them along.
One Pro Tools feature that Shane uses alot is the smart-tool (F7+F8). When it is engaged, the tool changes depending where you put the cursor in relation to a region. For instance - Place it near either of the top corners, you are able to draw a fade. If you have two regions adjacent, you crossfade by placing the cursor between them, at the bottom...click and drag.
If you're not familiar with the smart-tool, be aware that it is also quite easy to move a region (via grabber "hand" tool), among other things. 'Nuff said.
