I do most of my co-writing over zoom and often will playback stuff for my co-writer to hear, but I have not figured out a convenient way to do it from within ProTools. I know I can setup Aux I/O with a bridge and feed that in, but I typically want to have several sources to feed at any given time....For example, we may be working on a song and want to listen to a well known song, so I'll stream a youtube video through zoom so we both hear it and can talk about it. Will also sometimes stream apple music through in a similar fashion. Have multiple source capability is very handy.
I currently am using an Elgato Wave 3 with WaveLink, but wavelink seems to have real issues using a PT bridge as an input source. When I do try this, my Wave3 mic stops working and I have to restart pro tools and unplug/replug the Elgato mic back in. Very annoying in the middle of a writing session.
I'd like my "zoom mic" to be studio-ish quality (the Wave3 is good enough) without it relying on PT to be up (i.e. send my voice through PT and out the bridge to zoom)
Any one find a good setup that works, keeping your main zoom audio source separate from a PT playback and/or additonal sources? Wavelink uses Rogue Amoeba Loopback under the covers (last time I check) so I am not wanting to go that route.
Recommendations appreciated. Note: I am open to ditching the wavelink stuff and going with something else if it plays well with ProTools

Screw Zoom.
Check out Session wire.
It's basically Zoom and Audiomovers mixed into one app. So you have stream your mix bus in high quality up to 24 bit 48k(it'll down sample automatically if you operate at say 96k) and has the video feed plus your normal mic to talk to eachout all in one.
I do remote editing, spotting, sound design, mixing, and even mastering with it. Works great!

Wish they had a "5 person" plan - pretty big jump between 1 and 50 people. Price isn't bad, honestly. |

Wish they had a "5 person" plan - pretty big jump between 1 and 50 people. Price isn't bad, honestly. Yeah I know. It used to be a bit better in the base price range. I think you could have 5 people on the call on 2 HQ streams in the early days. Not sure why they changed it. Either way, it works really well and is worth it for me a lot. It does take a bit of setup for first time guests to understand it. But once you get over that 2-10min hurdle(depending on their own technical prowess) then it's seem less. Haven't found anything else that works as good in one complete package. Everything else requires running more than one thing at a time. |
