Hello everyone

I am just getting to grips with protools but the thing that is problem
is this , i can record my singing voice but it doesn't have any
effects on it , what i would idealy like is a 70's sounding reverb /
echo effect and it would be great it could be realtime ie as i'm
singing.

Please if you can help me with this i will be very greatful.

Regards Paul.

You might be better off recording your vocal and adding effects later.
That's the beauty of ProTools (and the whole computer recording thing). If
you record with effects on the way in to the computer you can't remove them
afterwards if you arent happy with them. If you want some effects you can
hear while you record then buy an effects unit and apply them to the signal
you are listening to rather than the signal that's going into your computer.

There's tonnes of effect packages for Protools like reverbs, mic modelers,
etc that would get the sound you are after unless of course you are after a
"finished" product.

Assuming a low-latency sound card, surely ProTools allows input
monitoring with effects? All the other advanced DAW programs do.

Not PTLE, but that hasn't been a problem here.

Easy to do.

Create a new track that's an aux input.

Set the input of that track to come from "bus 1". Output goes to the
stereo mix.

Insert a reverb/delay of your choice on that aux track (start with the
ones that come with Protools, and graduate to third-party plugins until
you find what your heart desires).


On the channel you're recording to, set up a send and assign it to go to
"bus 1".

Adjust send level to taste.
