I've started using Neutron 2 Advanced and Ozone 8 Advanced in my projects, and noticed I can rarely get the spectrographs (such as in the EQ modules) to display smoothly. During playback, they will lag or freeze when more than just a few tracks are playing. Closing one of the DP windows (I usually d...

Been using DP for a number of years now and didn’t know this existed yet. Thanks!

That works great for fitting the whole soundbite to a new fixed tempo, but it doesn't look like it allows you to change the tempo over time.

I can't seem to get any of this straight, even after reading the manual's section on soundbite tempos. I'm simply trying to have a soundbite linearly increase tempo. I'm guessing the only way to do this is to have it "locked" with the Conductor track tempo? I've tried "Analyze Tempo&q...

Is there a way within MIDI Editor to move/cut/copy/paste all the MIDI data of multiple tracks? When I have multiple tracks selected and I shift a measure of notes, velocities, and expression I want to move, it only shifts all the notes of the tracks but only the MIDI cc data of the Master-Selected M...

Thanks, guys. Sounds like lawyer review is worth doing despite the size of this job. I will find someone. If it's a national spot, then get a lawyer or someone you trust who's been around that block. It's national. And that being said, could I contact your lawyer? I'm guessing this isn't state-speci...

Yep. Paid off rather well in the end...

Then I guess that's the thing to do.

All the advice here is helpful, but maybe I should clarify my specific situation since, as MLC mentioned, all scenarios are different. In my case, we're talking about a job that's paying a little more than a few grand. The work is done, the client has the master, and nothing has been signed yet. I k...

Nothing has been signed yet, no one's getting screwed, and I have all 3 (and read 2) of those books :| . Those books unfortunately don't come with boilerplate contracts so I'm guessing most composers just wing it until they have made a large enough fortune to afford a lawyer, or they use dad's lawye...

Do not sign "perpetual" anything (unless you get paid a lot)! At least negotiate the license to end after 5 years... Otherwise, they will most likely NEVER use the music again (typically they need it for a year at the most), and it will effectively die with them. If they liberate your mus...

Surprisingly....no. I thought this would be a work-for-hire job, but I am able to keep all the rights to the music and retain publishers share. So they are treating it as a licensing contract.

I wrote a cue for a 30sec tv spot, and it's being treated as a perpetual license agreement for use in that ad. Hiring a composer is a first for the production company, so I may need to provide my own perpetual license agreement. I have some messages out to lawyers to hopefully purchase one, but I'm ...

What about when cutting up the parent file and needing to rename the newly cut soundbites and have those reflected in Finder/Explorer? For example, I am sampling a piano and have each note recorded in one long audio file. I'd like to clip each note into a separate soundbite file, and have each clipp...

Is there a way to rename soundbites in DP so that the associated .wav file changes names as well? Whenever I rename a soundbite, the new name is in the soundbite list and on the soundbite itself, but when I "Show in Explorer" the .wav file never changed. On top of that, when merging a soun...

MOTU is looking into this as they were able to recreate the problem. Will update.
