How to create Pro Tools templates for post production – with Paul Maunder:

In this video I cover the process of creating two templates for audio post production. The first is a template for a stereo post production mix which includes layback tracks for the full mix and an undipped DME mix. The second template is for a 5.1 feature film mix and has provision for a variety of bounces, including the full 5.1 mix and a host of 5.1 and stereo stems.

I go into detail about the process of creating each template and explain my reasoning for each and every step of the process. The video also contains explanations about how to understand and cater for a variety of different audio deliverables for a film mix. You can follow along and create your own templates based on the information in this video or, for a limited time, you can download the two templates I create in the video for free. Just drop these into the Session Templates folder within the Pro Tools folder on your system drive.
