ProTools 10 and UAD/Waves Plugins in the MM Rooms

The Multimedia Workrooms now have Pro Tools 10, ten UAD plugins and the Waves Diamond Bundle! These new additions make the Multimedia Workrooms even more powerful for computer based audio work. I was playing with the UAD plugins a little bit yesterday and today and they are very nice, especially compared plugins by many other manufacturers. The Waves bundle is a wonderful set of utility tools that includes compressors, EQs, reverbs, delays and more. I recommend checking it out!

I will also take this opportunity to plug the Multimedia Workrooms. These rooms have some of the fastest computers in the building and are loaded with Pro Tools, Logic, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Adobe CS 6 and more. Each room has 3 monitors including two 27'' Apple Cinema Displays and a pair of ADAM A7 speakers. Much of the audio setup is paralleled in the Audio and EMS Studios: Pro Tools, Logic and Waves Diamond bundle. Furthermore, the ADAM A7 speakers are the same speaker set that is in EMS A.

The UAD Plugins include:
Pultec Pro
Pultec
Neve 1073
Neve 1081
Helios Type 69
Neve 33609
Neve 88RS
Roland Dimension D
Real Verb Pro
CS-1

NOTE: Multimedia Workroom 1 has a slightly different set of UAD Plugins. It includes: 1176SE, Real Verb Pro, CD-1, Pultec and SSL 4K Channel Strip

The Waves Diamond Bundle Includes the plugins found in the link below.

ProTools Not Launching in Audio Studio

UPDATE 2/16/12: After running disk utility and trashing the preference files, ProTools in the Audio Studio appears to be responding and working as expected.

----------------------------------------------------------------

ProTools appears to not always be launching correctly in the Audio Studio. If its not working, you will notice that it will just keep bouncing in the dock and not actually launch the software. We will hopefully have this fixed within the next week, however until that happens, here is the work around.

If you turn the computer on and ProTools does not launch, open up activity monitor. You can do this by going to Applications and double clicking it, or by typing in "activity monitor" into spotlight located in the top right corner of the screen.

Tab down to ProTools, select it and press "Quit Process." When it asks you to force quit, go ahead and press Yes. Once ProTools quit, wait a few moments and open it up again. This should fix the problem. If it does not, repeat these steps.
