I've looked all over for any mention that DP supports the fairly new (bit over a year old) AUv3 format. According to Apple, AUv2 is deprecated. There are instructions on the dev portal for supporting both AUv2 and v3 plugins in a single host. The big difference is AUv3's are application extensions w...

FWIW, the MIDI Quest editor/librarian can create midnam files. But the overall quality of MIDI Quest is truly awful and the Kronos version produces midnam files that do not work. I have created working midnam files in the past for gear that doesn't have a lot of banks but gear with lots of banks doe...

Giving up on my old cheese grater and moving to a MacBook Air M2 24G/2T that I had bought for work but since I'm done writing software I might as well put it to good use. This means my 828MK2 Firewire interface is pretty much useless, ( or is it ?). It is also overkill since I've sold all my hardwar...

As someone who's main communication medium is email, it's hard for me to imagine not checking-in with email for days on end. But that's just me. And starting a new service-- then not checking email for days on end-- again, not something that would likely happen to me. What is inexcusable is their l...

In the event anyone is still deluded enough to try to distribute songs to the masses, there are several distributor options around like TuneCore, CDBaby, and the like. I was persuaded to try an up and coming distributor called Symphonic for my one and only commercially released track. It being a hol...

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...

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...

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 ...

Definitely part of our marketing plan. Thanks.

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...

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...

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...

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...
