Did Pro Tools look like Chinese math on your first try?
When you first open Pro Tools, there’s basically nothing there.
No tracks, No mixer, No familiar layout…
Just a blank canvas
That’s because Pro Tools isn’t built for just ONE type of workflow.
Recording, music production, mixing, post-production, film… it can do all of it.
The mistake beginners make is being intimidated by that blank canvas. But don’t be. Here’s what you need to know….
You just need to customize your window layout and workspace around what YOU actually need.
In this reel, I’m setting it up specifically for recording vocals without all the unnecessary distractions.
So if Pro Tools intimidated you the first time you opened it…
Give yourself another shot.
Save this for when you’re setting up your Pro Tools session.
