>I was surprised to find out that anything anyone says in public is fair game. That would cover Presidential speeches, I think< That is not correct - especially since you intend to use these excerpts in a commercial project. Fair use does not apply to commercial projects except the evening news. Onl...

Try downloading the latest PCI drivers from MOTU

>so after installing anything always boot off the OSX disc and repair the permissions.<

That's just wrong. Apple permissions often change with the OS and software versions. Yes, repair permissions. No, don't do it from the original disk.

Do you have the correct drivers installed? The drivers are a little bit OS finicky so you will need to match them to what you are running. Try that first -- you may not have a problem. You also don't say which PCI card you have. The 324 isn't supported past 10.3.7 (although I got mine working under ...

Agreed.

Also, upgrade DP to 5.13

> It basically is acting like it got disconnected even though its connected just fine.< Uh... no, it's not "connected just fine". Your unit shouldn't do that. This could be anything from a bad cable, bad power strip (I see this one a lot ) to an internal connector not seated correctly when...

>I have no problems using Adat Sync in Audio Desk.< Indicates MOTO hardware as AudioDesk doesn't work with anything else. Of course, you haven't told us what hardware and how you are trying to use it. As for Cubase5, it probably works but a Cubase support group is your best bet for the nuts and bolt...

With any of the MOTU products, DI functionality is present only when you have a Combo jack - a 3-pin XLR with a hole in the middle for 1/4" phone. This is true for most modern audio gear (but not all - some combo jacks are still mic/line). The UltraLite & 828MkII/III have two, the Traveller...

>no offense<

None taken. I was just curious.

FWIW, if I had it to do over again I be ASCAP as a composer and BMI as a publisher. You can be a publisher member of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC (under three company names, of course). You may belong to only one as a writer member, however and the publisher of your songs must belong to the same PRO. Songw...

OK, I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure that ABC/Disney lawyers didn't write contest rules that violate the Copyright law and a few California statutes. Someone did, however . This is why step four would go exactly as planned. There is a major blunder and a few minor ones in those rules. Any lett...

>I want to discuss this: If a songwriter comes into my studio with words and a melody he sings, but does not know his chords, (usually hasn't even a clue as to the chords), and I have to write the chords, am I entitled to songwriter's for this?< No, you are not entitled. I do not have to be a lawyer...

There is no Copyright on anything created by a government agency or person in official capacity. This doesn't mean you can use just anything as sometimes security laws apply - classified information is one example. As for non-government public figures, you either need clearances from the rights hold...

>You conveniently omitted the references to access in your excerpt.< You are correct. I will not play attorney. I had originally cited some links, thought better of it and deleted them. I have my reasons and will not post them online. If we ever meet in person, I'll explain over a beer - heck, I'll ...

Exactly. Step one: Win the contest Step two: Run the contract - and there will be one - past an entertainment lawyer pointing out concerns about rights, ownership and 'in perpetuity'. The lawyer will bring in a Copyright attorney to clarify if not qualified to practice Copyright law. The attorney wi...
