Select

Step #2
Locate your mic which should be right above the board on a
boom. The earphones are usually resting on the mic. Put
the earphones on.

Step #3
Now speak into the mic. Adjust the slider so that your audio
doesn’t peak into the red too much on the VU meter. When
you feel your level is correct. Go to the next step.
Adjust your
volume

Step #4
On the computer screen closest to the audio board locate
the icon that’s named Pro Tools10. Click on it once.

Step #5
This screen will open. Make sure “Create Blank Session” opens.

Step #6
Now select where your session will save. Select the Desktop icon.

Step #7
Now name your session. This will name a folder where your audio is
stored.

Step #8
I named this folder “testproject”.

Step #9
Now select Save.

Step #10
This screen will open. It’s a blank session in ProTools. Now you need to
create some tracks. For this tutorial you only need one track for your
audio. You’ll edit the audio in ProTools or GarageBand on another lab
laptop.

Step #11
Click on the word Track and drag down to select New.

Step #12
Create one Mono Track.

Step #13
Re-name “Audio 1” to “yourlastname-storyslug-audiotrack”.
One example could be “dillard-bloomfieldfire-audiotrack”.

Step #14
For this tutorial I named it Esther’s voice

Step #15
Another screen will appear. You will have to rename this the
same name.

Step #16
Click on the Red Record Button. When you hover over it
you’ll see Track Record Enable. The button will highlight.

Step #17
Now go to the upper right portion of the screen. Click on
the Red Record button. When you hover over it it will show
the words “Record Enable.”

Step #18
If you have taken the headphones off put them back on.
Move the mic in a position that is slightly above your mouth
pointed at an angle downward. Don’t have it directly on your
mouth or you will get popping Ps. Now go to the next step.

Step #19
Now press the space bar and record your script.

Step #20
You should see the wave forms in under a red bar. This
shows that ProTools is recording your audio. Press the
space bar again to stop.

Step #21
When your finished your recorded track will turn blue.

Step #22
Move your mouse so the arrow is on the upper portion of
the ProTools Window on the purple edge. Hold the mouse
while you slide the window over to reveal the icons
underneath it on the desktop.
Here is the folder
that was saved.

Step #23
Your recorded folder should be on the desktop like this one.
Click on it to open it.

Step #24
Inside this folder are a number of folders. Click to open the
“Audio Files” folder.

Step #25
You should see the audio track you named. For this tutorial
its Esther’s voice_01

Step #26
Now take out your zip drive.

Step #27
Look at the side of the monitor. There should be an iLOC
and another connector. Don’t remove these or you will
erase your session. Put the zip drive in the port underneath
both of those.
Put zip
drive here

Step #28
The zip drive should show up on the left side of your screen.
Here is the
zip drive

Step #29
Drag your audio to the zip drive and drop it. It will copy to
the zip drive.

Step #30
Now you can close and quit. Don’t save the session. We
need as much space as possible on the main WBCR studio
computer as possible. Edit your audio on one of the lab
laptops in either ProTools or GarageBand.

This concludes the ProTools Tutorial for the WBCR
