Curious question: The company I work for is looking to hire a full-time professional audio editor. My boss has asked me for some leads, but I'll admit I don't do a lot of networking outside MOTUNation these days. I know many of you are already employed and in different fields, so this post isn't so ...

I should mention that sometimes I have problems getting 32Lives plugin windows to remain visible. I can't remember whether this is with MainStage or DP, probably MainStage. Often clicking on B4ii controls makes the window immediately hide. 32Lives plugins have always had some interface issues. Lucki...

So far so good with 32Lives in Mojave. I'm still using B4-ii live with my laptop, no problems. MacOS has been fully 64bit for a few versions now, Catalina isn't anything particularly special. I'm not sure why they're reporting that it will no longer work. I suspect the team has just ceased updating ...

Thanks for scaring the •••• out of me... I was sure Bruce Dickinson had kicked the bucket. Either that or Iron Maiden was touring with the late-80s Thrash band.

I'll admit, I really need to study the MIDI2.0 spec a little more. I ran over the features, but they're open-ended enough, I have less of an idea on how they're actually going to be used in practice. Unfortunately, I can't imagine anything but extreme resistance and disinterest by DAW developers. I'...

That would be a decent start. But I appreciate object models as they would behave in the physical world, where properties of a note are attached to the note event itself. 16 streams where notes are randomly thrown around to along with controller data isn't exactly a very elegant model. It's making t...

ApTrigga comes with some nice samples too, the bottom snares are great when I get a live show with no bottom snare recorded. For another alternative to this, if you don't want to trigger samples, here's a really neat way to add bottom snare if you don't have a bottom snare mic: https://www.wavesfac...

It may not be as useful as most as it is to me. My work is kind of unconventional. I'm going through single waveform tracks and making hundreds of minute edits then relistening to the cut to make sure it works. I'm flicking up the trackpad hundreds of times an hour, and my wrist definitely feels it....

I'm game as long as it kicks DAW maker's butts into supporting MPE. IMO, MIDI1 with MPE is not limiting, but MIDI1 without it most definitely is. This said, I still think that MPE is bit of a "hack" to MIDI1, and should be cleaned up for MIDI2 implementation without the need for sending no...

Glad some people got some use out of it! Dunno what's up with XML file, must have been generated by Safari, because i didn't put it there. Just to let everyone know, I've modified it for my own use. Now I simply it the "0" on a number pad, without clicking at all. I figure, if I'm going to...

I thought I'd share this simple but helpful KM Macro I created. This allows you to move the DP playhead by Ctrl-Clicking anywhere, instead of having to find the ~10px vertical region within the ruler. http://www.ericbarker.com/dropbox/Place_Playhead_on_Ctrl_Click.kmmacros Behinds the scenes: on Ctrl...

.mp4 includes more than one file type. It can be mp4a Apple Lossless (16–24 bit), mp4r Ringtone, mp4b AudioBook. Plain mp4 is Apple's version of .mp3 with compression rates from 128k–320k. Mike, I hate to say but this is incorrect, though I can understand the confusion. The ".mp#" monicke...

This is an oddball question, but is there any way to get a readout of how many individual soundbites are currently selected? This would be sort of like "Word Count" in Microsoft Word. Once in a while for reporting purposes, it would be nice to get a ballpark estimate on how many edits I've...

I noticed when upgrading to DP10, some of the Export File Format options didn't overwrite their DP9 versions and there are some multiple copies, specifically "Core Audio Export: WAV". If I accidentally select the second one, DP crashes. I'm wondering if this is related to the "crash o...

My boss really wants to send me to NAMM to do some potential talent scouting for our business. Unfortunately, we're a production company, not a retailer, and a fairly unconventional one at that. He's in the greater LA area, but I'm in Honolulu, so I would have to get on a plane ASAP. I've spent the ...
