(How do you embed a youtube video?)

...the syntax will look like this (each argument separated by commas):

Code: Select all

Using the video ID used in our example it would look like this:

Code: Select all

One stupid question: you said somewhere about 2.5 minutes in, you're using a new Mac Pro with Mavericks, and then that your entire template is on a PC.

Are you ready for a zillion questions?

I'm in the process of redoing my entire studio and rethinking everything from the ground up, so it is interesting to see how other people work. Starting with the very basics ...

Where did you get the desk you are using? (I'm thinking of getting new studio furniture, trying to get everything facing in one direction.)

- Robert Beijer of Beijer Workstations

What is that controller thing in front of the Mac keyboard that you are using? (What does it do and how are you using it?)

- That is a MIDI fader controller. It controls MIDI controller data.

You have all your instruments on an external PC? (I assume that will change some time in the future now that you have a Mac Pro.) My previous studio was a G5 and two external PCs, but I am currently experimenting w/ ditching the PCs and doing it all in one box. Still getting used to trying to develop new work style. So far I have resisted temptation to fire up one of the PCs.

How are you busing your stuff back into DP to record the stems? ADAT I assume. What audio interface(s) are you using? Looks like you've got like about 20 buses, divided by ensemble types -- String, Brass, Winds, Perc, but then other special categories. This all comes from one PC? I guess that is all set up in Kontakt? Everything you're doing here is from one sample library and Kontakt? No Play or VSL or any of that?

- All Audio and MIDI goes over an ethernet cable linking the machines together. VEPRO is the software.

Also interesting to see how you are using track color coding.

OK, maybe not a zillion questions ... May have more after I go back and watch it again.

Thanks,
Babz

And VEPRo is the bomb Babz!

What's your secret on getting your template so big?!?! Ever since DP8 I've had to DOWNSIZE my huge template just to get DP to not freak out! Maybe PC's are the way to go for that? ..and here I am with $10k worth of Mac Pros..
