Any news on 6.02?

[James Steele]

And we all know how high the quality is for everything on TV.

A useless medium now IMHO

I don't think TV's that bad. Although my pet peeve this days is the overuse of the "montage." For crying out loud... how many minutes do they get to burn off of the TRT of shows like CSI: Miami with shots of test tubes and eye droppers under colored lights while music blares for a full minute? And what's with holographic displays and animation and other technology and database capability that MAYBE the NSA has, but a crime lab in Miami surely doesn't. Okay... nevermind... most TV is stupid and the nightly "opiate of the masses."

There's some good music on TV. Most of it doesn't fit the project (show) and is ALWAYS too loud (so you can't hear the V.O.) or too much (so they can rack up the royalties) or too repetitive (while they wait for DP 6.02 ) but otherwise, it's not inherently bad.

I'm sure there is, but the mainstream, prime time content is just beyond me.

I haven't watched TV in 4 years now and I haven't missed it either.

To repetitive while they wait for DP 6.02 eh, my god that sounds like a sentence of some sort.

I'm starting wonder when DP 9. 000000000000001 is going to be released and if it will make prime time TV any better.

Oh, THAT TV. Never watch it. Really, NEVER. science & nature channels, Comedy Central, Public Broadcasting, various news channels, movies, NASA, etc.

Network TV? Couldn't tell you what's going on. Is Sanford & Son still running?

I thought they did a good job on the music for Boston Legal, but that's just me.

Your not really Brad, are you!?

i might be mad but I aint brad.....

but seriously - I got kick started back into audio post when I did 1 movie freeelance from my home studio - I made my studio my home is a more accurate description.. . then I bought a home - actually my wife made me - I would have been happy sleeping on the bags of cash.

I hope those motu mofo do liten to us - actually i dont care if they listen to you - they should listen to ME !

I hope they squint this way -

in that little second before they spurt out 6.02 -

change back the truncating of names to how it was in DP 5 - or at least give an option to..

add trimable clip gains,,, ( yes computers do math better than me... turn them all up by 11 - no make them 1 louder all of them.... ( Love the existing feature -

this function will lop of the heads of any overly mortgaged Protools editors - right after they go green with envy and start talking BS about 192 sampling rates being the future of cable TV - yes it's essential before the MPEG encode to have a high sampling rate

take a look a PT and admit they got something right - the "-" minus key for editing volume - hello motu?

MOTU can then swallow the AF app - finally iced audio will stop telling his customers what he is doing and restrict his updates to twice a year... the upside would be importing audio to the insertion point - ( please someone tell me I am missing how to do this..) digi base meets audiofinder - in the sounbites window -

6.02 - they will also allow you to rename files on disc from SE IF it is a whole file ( yes abit like that other application .. )

6.02 - make it so that the names and gain (especially that) doesnt keep moving around - I will then be able to use quick keys to move my mouse over it ever time with a click and use my scrolly strips to turn the vol on audio up and down in that sexy real time manner...

oops getting late for work - why did I ever move out of the studio,,,

Just slightly... it's ok because the question was answered way back on page 2 or 3 .

Martin your house will grow in value the bag of cash would turn in to toys.

DP 6.02 is coming to a upload near you soon.

Unfortunately, the DAE aspect of DP has pretty much been seriously lagging behind the other updates...

{OTHER DAE STUFF SNIPPED}

If I had PT hardware and depended on compatibility with PT Hardware and DAE full time, I'd use Pro Tools. Keep in mind this is my own worthless opinion, but I get the feeling there is no love lost between Digi and MOTU. If it weren't for MOTU coming out with the original 2408, Digi would have had a year or two longer of bleeding dry their user base. I doubt very much MOTU gets a whole lot of help from Digi resolving DAE problems. Again... I don't KNOW this to be true... I just have a feeling. I personally have NEVER expected that DP would be as fully functional on PT hardware as PT itself... or even Logic for that matter as I don't think Digi views Apple as a competitor. I suspect that Digi would love to be able to bury MOTU and get back some of the marketshare they lost to MOTU.

For sure, it's long and probably complicated relationship that was forged when each one was doing a different thing. PT did the audio and Performer was taking care of the MIDI. I only expect, will let's use a different word, I only hope that DP will carry on with DAE. MOTU always had the same DAE features that PT had up until PT7 and DP5. That's when it changed. It was great news when DP announced that they caught up with PT again with the release of DP6. Also I have been told in the recent past by MOTU that they intend to carry on with DAE, and they should. If they didn't, I wouldn't ever have come over in the first place. I would probably have been on Logic now otherwise. I think that with fixing the issues with DAE, MOTU can and will win people over from the huge PT base. I think it's worth the effort. They already have it in DP6 and they've been doing DAE longer than anyone else (outside of Digi) They just need a little more work to fix the bugs left over from the transition to DP6 and it's all good.

As far as I can tell, the issues with DP6 and DAE (and this is just my guess) is that it mostly has to do with GUI - and it's not a DAE issue per se, but a graphical issue inside of DP6. The same plugs and DAE that don't work in DP6 work, work fine in DP5, so nothing has changed on the DAE end. The other issue of track bussing is absolutely just something MOTU missed - and it was a pretty big miss. But they're a smaller company, at least compared to Digi and I'm sure their resources have always been stretched thin, so some things slip through. I don't really hold that against them. I just wish they would at least communicate more with us.

[James Steele]

I think the issue between MOTU and Digi was not only that Performer became Digital Performer and included audio, but rather that MOTU started manufacturing and selling audio interfaces that pretty much blew Digi's offerings to that point out of the water as far as price point... creating a system that coupled with DP blew away Digi's false limitations they created by crippling the software.

MOTU can intend to fully support DAE as much as they want to and I wish them well. I just have never expected that support to be problem free.

Yes, it's just you.

We all know what we're on about … this is the Seinfeld topic: a topic about nothing.

Any news on 6.03?

Reading this thread's a trip.

I really didn't think my comment was that inflammatory - it was quite pc really.

Agreed.

I try not to be too inflammatory in general.

In my experience, you've never been so, Tripster.

And you call me anything you want.....just don't call me stupid

OK, Stupester. LOL

Ok...that got me to laugh.

An easy room. Yay! LOL

Speaking of montages on TV (that is what we were discussing, isn't it?), how 'bout them sports montages, eh? They must know how much we love 'em, 'cause they're all over the sports broadcasts. Heck, we're even treated to random high-res sequences of cars doing 2mph during F1 events whilst the leaders fight it out at 200+. Don't you love the way commercial breaks are effectively extended by the use of these beauties as segues to and from the aforementioned abominations? Fun, fun, fun.
