Overview of this book

Pro Tools has long been an industry-standard Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for audio professionals, but it can often be overwhelming for new and experienced users alike. The Pro Tools 2023 Post-Audio Cookbook acts as a reference guide to the software and breaks down each stage of a project into manageable phases. From planning a session, editing a sequence, performing a mix to printing the final masters, you can approach this book either sequentially or peruse the self-contained recipes. You’ll come to grips with workflows for music production, motion picture, and spoken word production, helping you gain expertise in the area of your choice. You'll learn aspects of music mixing like side chain processing to keep instruments from overshadowing each other and conforming for motion picture. The author’s expertise with Pro Tools will help you discover and incorporate different techniques into your workflows. You’ll also learn to build consistent and replicable workflows and templates by understanding what happens behind the scenes in Pro Tools. With this cookbook, you’ll be able to focus on the creative aspects of your audio production and not get mired by the technical hurdles. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to handle even the most complex features of Pro Tools to deliver immaculate results for your clients.

Creating tracks

Now that you have set up a session, it’s time to populate it with some tracks. Pro Tools offers up to nine different tracks, each with functions and purpose. We’ll create some simple tracks with two different methods and explain their purpose in brief.

Getting ready

For this recipe, you will need a blank session. You may use the Example session you created in the previous recipe. In your Pro Tools session, make sure that Track Color is enabled in the Edit window. You can do this by going to the menu bar, selecting View | Edit Window Views, and making sure it is checked or using the Edit Window View selector dropdown directly above the track headers on the left-hand side of the Edit window (see Figure 1.5):
