See this content in the original post

Pro Tools Expert Deputy Editor Dan Cooper continues his free video tutorial series that shows you his entire GeorgieDAN music production workflow in Pro Tools. 

In this episode, Dan puts his instruments to one side to focus on the tracks that he has already recorded for the song. Dan likes to correct timing issues midway through a tracking stage to avoid being caught out later in the production when he records keyboard and overdubs.

Tracks that have timing issues are very off-putting to record along to, especially when a song's instrumentation develops and gets more complicated. It's good practice to tidy up timing issues during a tracking stage as these little fixes along the way will provide performers with a solid foundation and groove to play too.

Watch this free tutorial to learn how to fix audio timing issues in Pro Tools using a very simple method that makes great use of the smart tool, clip separation and fades.
