As reported in my MOTU TechLink... Movie linked here. In any sequence or project in DP 10 (and I think it was also in DP 9) the tracks overview (TO) window doesn't reliably update to the beginning (measure 1) of the sequence. If measure 1 isn't showing in the TO, setting the start time on the fly, o...

And I assume we're talking middle to late career at this point. I've been doing this and nothing else for the last 50 years or so. In my early years I had a different motto: never refuse work! And I was burnt big time more than once, from non-payment to infringements of my work (all of which were pu...

And, to the o/p FM: if the client is that lame, you're better off without them. They'll rip you off eventually or, at least, cost you headaches in the future, related to payment and content. I say: good riddance! Agreed. It's just a shame that they already extracted so much of your time and effort ...

Well, like I say, I read something on this board recently that indicated the counterintuitive method was actually the cool guy setup. Glad to know there's no real alarm. Define: cool guy. lol Perhaps there are some highly technical situations where the contrary advice is perfectly valid. I don't pr...

Exactly.

FWIW, I snagged Cinematic Shades and Atmospherics, as they will come in handy in more than a few projects.

Now what to buy with my $100 voucher?

Caved? As in co-habitated in the same cave?! I'm sorry, but I don't remember that episode of my life, but it explains the hemorrhoids. Wait, what?

Well, damn! That's another $179 I'll never see again... lol. And to UVI's great credit, I was a couple of days late to get onboard. I wrote to UVI and got the sale price, the $100 voucher, and the two expansions (which I've yet to decide on). Any suggestions? So like MachFive, and that's a plus. I p...

Anybody who charges $50 per finished minute of score will be out of business soon. Oh, I don't know. I see a lot of cheap ass "producers" who are unable to HEAR music and who would buy that crap. What do the music libraries charge? I just finished video (and audio) editing for an online p...

Thanks for the replies. MLC, I'm reading you to say that running large projects from a separate drive is A-OK? Still standard practice? It makes sense to me, but I just wanted to make sure that the truth is wasn't counterintuitive.... I'm told that is also what MOTU suggests. I've been doing it lik...

I wish I hd the ability to have internal drives on my trash can, but no, that ain't an option. Booooo!

I've had a few DP 10.13 problems. When a movie is present, I can't access the HELP run items. DP hangs with partially drawn screens. It eventually recovers. The workaround is to close the movie window. This is a bug that was quashed in DP 10 and 10.11, but after the update it reappeared. Weird. Now ...

Well, there's also the "insurance" aspect. If my project drive goes out, all I have to do is restore that. But if my system drive goes south or the machine bites the dust, so does my project drive. I've had that happen. I have backup machines or I could go to another studio with the projec...

I always have working projects on the internal SSD, but move them to an external when they're done, or won't be worked for a while, if only to save space. I think this has been a standard practice for quite a while. Standard for who? I had the Library of Congress send me a file a few months ago to ...

Wrong thread... lol
