Re: Very important question about a long-term ProTools project I'm working on.

Hey Mark!

You'll have to do your home work re publishing for the album. The truth is, you 
can record anything you want without permission unless it's being held for 
another artist wich I don't think this falls in that catigory. All they want is 
they're money Usuall it's $15 per song, based on 200 releases. Therefor, 13 
tracks will cost you approx $200 bucks. Is that to much?

Good luck man.

 OK, I am not proceeding any further with this project under any circumstances 
 until I get some help here, as, if I mess this up, I could get in some really 
 seriously hot water.
 
 So here's the situation.  I am working on an album which is going to contain 
 probably about 13 or 14 tracks all total of Christian treditional hymns. 
 Granted, some of them might be done more contemporary style, but the bottom 
 line is I am creating my own arrangements, music, vocals, and all.  I'd like 
 to have the disc ready and up on ITunes and on Amazon etc. by Christmas. Now, 
 here is the major concern however that I face.
 
 I need to know where on the internet I can go to cross reference these hymns 
 in a searchable database and get their current copyright status.  I can't 
 afford royalties, so, it's going to need to be things in public domain that I 
 record.  I know one could say, most of your treditional hymns will be public 
 domain, but... don't? count on that!
 
 For example, I want to record How Great Thou Art.  Someone told me that they 
 were almost completely sure that either the Billy Graham Evangelistic 
 Association, or George Beverly Shea himself owns the rights to that one.  I 
 know there are sites out there, for example, Brian Howerton told me about 
 Hairy Fox, but I'm not really seeing a way up there to literally type in the 
 song title, and see it's copyright status.  I don't necessary wanna know 
 everyone who's done the track, and their copy right.  I just need to know, is 
 it currently still considered private material, or can it freely be used. I 
 just need the general yes or no, or if yes, what the conditions for yes would 
 be, if  there be any.
 
 Yes, I do know about copyright.gov.  Are you kidding me?  That's where I 
 registered my It Takes Time track.  So, yeah, I know about the copyright 
 office, but even on that web site, maybe I'm just too impatient, but I'm even 
 finding it really hard to track down the actual search tools that show the 
 year, date, and if the song is copy written, and if so, for how much longer.
 
 I juszt don't wanna get into a pickle where I make the disc, release it, and 
 then have artists contacting me going: um... excuse me? I never gave you 
 permission to do this track, you're in big big trouble, Sir!
 
 If anyone could point me to where I need to look, I'd really be greatful. 
 Just for example, some of the hymns I'm at least considerring, now again, 
 this is not a track listing.  These for now are just ones I know very well, 
 that I feel very comfortable recording.
 
 Amazing Grace
 In the Garden
 How Great thou Art
 Because he Lives
 Jesus Loves Me
 Holy Holy Holy
 I Surrender All
 Fill my Cup, Lord
 Peace in the Valley
 What a Friend
 
 etc.  I just need to know what of those are in public domain.  I'm not doing 
 any of these until I know beyond a doubt.

Folks,

I just wanted to briefly give you a little synopsis regarding
accessibility issues in Pro Tools. As most of you know, there have been
some changes of late. Actually, there are the changes in Pro Tools, of
course, but more importantly, there have been significant changes at
Avid. If you keep up with the business section of your paper, you'll
have read about the investments and divestments involving Avid, their
staff, their affiliated companies, etc. This is truly a difficult period
for the company.

At any rate, I did speak with Bobby Lombardi and we talked about
possible solutions for the future. Part of it might involve taking on an
intern, not unlike the last time, and tackling the most pressing issues.
There's another possibility that involves a sort of hackathon where
programmers take on special projects and run with it to see how far they
get and, if their work seems successful enough, they incorporate it into
the application. Without delving into more details (because at this
point, we know which is more likely), we're going to touch base in a few
more weeks and to see where we stand. I'll be going out to San francisco
at the end of October and will have some face-to-face time with Bobby
and others with whom I've kept in touch.

There's another development that might potentially help push things
along a bit but it's too early to discuss. As soon as I have more
information, I'll share it here.

Reading counters

2012-08-20 Thread Jon Solitro
All this talk about reading counters has popped a question in m my head.. 
I've got the hang of reading counters in Pro Tools 8.04, which I'm using, 
but VO doesn't tell me what the Grid and Nudge values are. I can change the 
Nudge value by hitting VO space when I'm in the Nudge value, but it doesn't 
do the same thing for the Grid value, nor does it read either.  How can I 
read either value, or change the Grid value?

Re: Reading counters

2012-08-20 Thread Slau Halatyn
Press the nudge button and enter the value. You won't be able to read the 
value. Keep in mind that you have to enter it according to the format, that is, 
bars/beats, or minutes/seconds. In other words, to enter a nudge value of 1.5 
seconds, you need to enter 0 decimal 1 decimal 5 and hit return.

HTH,

Re: Pro Tools 10 and Mountain Lion

2012-08-20 Thread Chris Norman
OK, lemme try and lay this out as clearly and fully as I know it.

I can't try pt 9 on Mountain Lion, or I would, but with PT10:

In the edit window, when you interact with the counter display, none
of the values there will read. That is to say, the start, current, and
end selection boxes. They just say text or something like that.

As people have said, the same is true of the edit boxes in the tempo
settings, and I'd bet it's the same in the time signature
configuration thingy too.

I'd be willing to put money on it being the text fields that Avid use,
that require you to use the numberpad to enter data.

Other than that, everything else is working healthily, hardware, etc, etc, etc.

Cheers, and hope that clears it up a bit Slau. If you need to know
anything else, please let me know.

point, we know which is more likely), we're going to touch base in a few
more weeks and to see where we stand. I'll be going out to San francisco
at the end of October and will have some face-to-face time with Bobby
and others with whom I've kept in touch.

There's another development that might potentially help push things
along a bit but it's too early to discuss. As soon as I have more
information, I'll share it here.

Best,

Slau

Folks,

Avid have worked very closely with Apple for decades and have ready access to 
all kinds of resources. No need to concern ourselves with those details right 
now.

OK, thanks for confirming that in no uncertain terms.

 OK, lemme try and lay this out as clearly and fully as I know it.
 
 I can't try pt 9 on Mountain Lion, or I would, but with PT10:
 
 In the edit window, when you interact with the counter display, none
 of the values there will read. That is to say, the start, current, and
 end selection boxes. They just say text or something like that.
 
 As people have said, the same is true of the edit boxes in the tempo
 settings, and I'd bet it's the same in the time signature
 configuration thingy too.
 
 I'd be willing to put money on it being the text fields that Avid use,
 that require you to use the numberpad to enter data.
 
 Other than that, everything else is working healthily, hardware, etc, etc, 
 etc.
 
 Cheers, and hope that clears it up a bit Slau. If you need to know
 anything else, please let me know.
 
 Cheers,

 Hello,
 
 You can also try going to the events menu and  tempo and constant tempo, you
 see it does the same thing there. Infact you will notice it does the same in
 all edit fields in all of the different event dialog boxes.

 Hi, Where should I go in pro tools to see if these fields work as I am
 still
 in the process of learning pro tools?  I should be able to let you know
 if
 the proper fields read if I am told where to go and I will also try it on
 my
 lion installation to see the difference.  Nick Gawronski

 Nick,
 
 Can you read the Start field in the edit window under Mountain Lion in
 Pro
 Tools 10?

 Hi, Some edit fields read fine like the file names to save projects
 as and when you bounce tracks to files.  I am using mountain lion but
 do have lion still around should I need it.  I think it is possible
 to down grade to lion if you need to but don't know if the newer mac
 books will support the down grade.  My digi 003 works fine under
 mountain lion and I did not need to reinstall anything.  The only
 thing I had to reinstall was the drivers for my express card for my
 sata drive and that was not even an upgrade I just opened the folder
 where I had the pkg file and ran it and things now work great again.

 So, am I understanding this correctly? With Mountain Lion, no edit
 fields are being read in Pro Tools versions 9 and 10? Can someone else
 confirm this? Version 10 reads fine with Snow Leopard and Lion, from
 other
 accounts.

 Hello,
 
 It appears to be an edit field where there would be text you could
 edit
 or change thats not reading in ML with PT10. This issue doesn't happen
 with
 PT 9 or 10 on lion. And if i remember correctly PT 9 on ML had the same
 issue. As i was planning to keep my air running PT 9 in case i ran into
 any
 showstoppers in version  10. But when i upgraded my air to ml i realiezed
 none of the edit fields read at all. That was when i upgraded to version
 10
 on ML to se if it would fix the issue. So if appears for now If pro tools
 is
 an everyday necessity at the very least you will need to keep a lion
 partition around for a little bit.

 I still haven't updated my HD system to version 10 but, since I also
 have a 003, I decided to update my regular LE version to 10. I'd like to
 clear something up and I will need verification of something:
 
 I'm running Pro Tools version 10 on Snow Leopard and there are no
 issues with any counter displays not reading. Now, I don't have Mountain
 Lion and will not run it for some time. Can someone verify, specifically,
 where counters are not reading properly? Even in Mountain Lion, that
 would
 be fairly strange, that is, for a text display to not read correctly.
 That
 said, technically, Mountain Lion is not approved for Pro Tools so I'm not
 concerned.yet.
 
 Again, someone with Mountain Lion and Pro Tools 10, please let me
 know
 precisely where a counter display doesn't read correctly where it used to
 read correctly in Snow Leopard or Lion.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Slau
