Quicktime Movie Audio lags in ProTools 8
There have been a couple threads on this recently and they relate to the same problem. Dennis Scott asked…
When I hit the spacebar, there is 1 to 3 second delay before the audio plays back.
Eric & Craig pitched in with the answer…
Switch the system output (in the Sound panel under System Preferences) to something OTHER than Digi hardware. This bug has existed for quite a while.
There appear to be few problems with automating some parameters in the GRM Tools package. D’Animation asks…
Anyone having problems automating parameters in GRM tools Shuffler? Wanted to automate the fragment and delay parameters at once whilst using the 2-D potentiometer (i know this can’t be directly automated though). So went to ctrl+option+cmd click the fragment parameter and i get a main thread error – Protools crashes and have to restart, trash prefs etc.
Reichman suggests
Create snapshots, then automate only the superslider, and things should go more smoothly.
Finally GRMTools support pitch in with….
Here’s a tip about automating the 2 D Controller in GRM Tools. The 2 D Controller in GRM Tools plug-ins, controls different parameters in each of the plug-ins. You can tell which ones are being controlled by looking at the sliders and numerical values that are being changed by the 2 D Controller. In the Doppler plug-in for example, it’s the X and Y positions. If you select those parameters for recording automation, you’ll see the 2 D Controller become activated to record the automation you perform.
We’re also about to post a video on automating GRM Tools using the Band Pass plug-in as an example and it addresses automation of the 2 D Controller. You can check for that at our web site. Please be sure to report any bugs or support questions here. We’ll do whatever we can to help.
There have been a couple of posts on this one too recently. The problem seems to have come about after a re-install f the OS and Pro Tools. The problem is that TL Space stores its IRs in Appliation Support which of course is wiped on a reinstall.
If you are about to re-install make sure you copy your folder called Trillium Lane that you will find in the Application Support folder in the Library folder on your Mac HD. Once you have done the re-install put it back and all should be well.
If you need to re-install them from scratch ten either use the Install TL Space IR Package menu from wihin the plug-in from the menu on the right hand side if they are downloads from the Digi site. Or use the wav import from he same menu if they are wav IRs.
Conforming audio tracks to video edit
There is an interesting thread about conforming a live show edit from a video edit that used a guide audio mix. I am not going to attempt to describe it here but if this is something you need then pop over to the DUC and read. Lots of great advice.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
