Anybody bought into Session Studio?

Essentially intended to be the MOADB (Mother Of All Data Bases) of music business meta data and created by some of the guys from ABBA. The "About" page. https://www.sessionstudio.com/about Rick Beato hosts an introductory talk by one of the founders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TM9foE...

Re: Website Demo Audio: Alternatives to BandCamp?

I use private SoundCloud or YouTube share links. Embeds work ok. You grab the share link from the track page. Downer with youtube is you gotta make a "video" which, using iMovie isn't too bad - I just put up an image for the whole track.. I particularly like SoundCloud in that you can &quo...

Re: "Real bands don't use tracks"

I haven't played out much since the 80s where I was either the guitarist working with a keyboardist with one synth and limited skills (I made her patches for her and showed her what to play) or I was a keyboardist (I'm a very limited keyboardist BTW but a decent synth programmer) who doubled on 2nd ...

Christmas is coming...ho ho ho

I took the family to Santa Fe, New Mexico for Christmas some years ago (I used to live there during the 80s) and somehow wrote a song about it. At the urging of family and friends I have decided to get my feet wet with my first commercial release and use it to teach myself about distribution and pro...

Hey guys, will I be able to put Mojave in my 2009 MacPro 5.1 ? I am just looking ahead at this time. I am on Sierra and happy to stay with that.If so what will I need to do, thanks ! I wouldn't go near it. Reports that things like JetBrains IDE's are running at about half their normal speed imply t...

Re: The news of the Mac's death is being exaggerated

the fundamental software architecture of Mac and iOS is approaching 30 years old, if you count everything that came out of NeXT in the late 1980s as part of modern Mac and iOS device DNA. So, everything needs a re-write and replacement. Why? If you want to look closely, Steve Jobs predicted the dea...

Re: Do you love the song window? Tell me all about it!

I know about Doug Wyatt. However, Studio Vision and Studio Vision Pro, which is what was brought up, is dead, buried, and decomposed. If you go back in time and try Studio Vision and DP, you'll be appalled not only at both, but also at the MacOS which we all used then. ... Shooshie [/quote] I just ...

TS is GREAT for "oh crap I deleted (or messed up) that file that was perfect as of last week! It is NOT a good primary backup. Take it from me - busy trying to restore everything after catastrophic disk drive loss. TS is a work changes log and as such it rocks. You also need periodic FULL backu...

Re: Do you love the song window? Tell me all about it!

DP left Studio Vision in the dust a while ago. To be fair, Studio Vision pretty much committed suicide via mismanagement at Opcode and later Gibson. It was the only DAW that really tempted me away from DP at one point. Opcode Music System lives on. Its called CoreAudio/CoreMIDI though. Same guy wro...

Re: Do you love the song window? Tell me all about it!

Not so for me. DP left Studio Vision in the dust a while ago. Yes. And no. Vision excelled at modularity. DP kind of sucks at it. Thus, Vision's song window and sequences were profound and amazing. In DP we all glom everything into one sequence and work linearly for a reason. Sequences+Song Window ...

Good to hear they work without HS. What is "performant"?
You know, 'snappier'. :lol:

Re: DP Users should hold off on High Sierra

It is likely that High Sierra will break a lot of plugins. HS finally carries through on the threat to remove the deprecated MacOS ComponentManager. Why do you care? Because CM is how a host gets a list of all the AudioUnits available on the system. There's a new mechanism (of which I am not totally...
