Guys if you are struggling with Pro Tools check out the DMT Tut on Friday 12:30-13:15 with Matt, I believe he is a Technical Pro Tools guy. Good luck with your adverts (wk 1) and thriller film themes (wk 2)! Franscois

If you are not a keyboardist then instead of playing in your MIDI regions directly into Pro Tools you can record your two tracks in Sibelius by using the mouse to pencil in your notes one by one (perhaps a bit tedious, but more accurate than hitting and missing with the keyboard though) and then import the Sibelius MIDI track into Pro Tools. (Thanx Sipumzo for thus suggestion:-) Franscois.
