Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
Yeah, having spent a bit of time tinkering with SL outside of PT this morning to make comparisons, I see what you're saying, a lot has changed lately. That got me wondering about a dual boot, but with only a 128 SSD in there it seems like an excessive waste of space if there's no big advantage to being back in SL when it comes to PT use. Lion it is then I guess, unless anybody else chimes in with a dealbreaker.

How do you roll back your system? I am interested in possibly doing this as well.

Re: Audio Studio Manager
Hi John, very good news! But is it for free or you have to pay something? Moreover, at Home Recording Show did they talk about other programs used for recording and audio editing, different from Amadeus Pro, Garage Band, Pro Tools or Logic? In other words is there something new about? Tell us, if you want, about Home Recording Show! Have a nice day. Bye. Diego. 2012/8/29, Jon Solitro soli...@msu.edu: I just downloaded Audio Studio Manager from the App store, which I heard about on the Home Recording Show. It's great! Mostly accessible, and fantastic for keeping track of projects and clients. LOve it!
Re: Audio Studio Manager
Hi John, The home recording show is indeed good, although the title is becoming a little limited for its scope in ways. If you end up reading through this thread Slau I hope you feel peer pressure to make another episode! haha. That reminds me, I'm going to go back and listen to the episode about the Cascade ribbin mods as I'm going investing! Back on thread John, I couldn't seem to find audio studio manager when I searched in the ap store on my phone last night, is it spelled exactly as is? Maybe I'd just been mixing too long and I typed it in wrong, must check again. Also, how would he do a keyboard shortcut for iPhone exactly? Great to hear the developer is listening. Thanks for passing on the news about its level of accessability to us, If only I was in a position to charge per hour in my studio! Its useful none the less for logging hours put into a project.

Re: Audio Studio Manager
Brian, It's in the Mac App Store. Yes, it also has an equipment inventory section for your studio and also helps you chart your progress on a project, as well as get you reminders for stuff. I've been emailing the developer and he's very responsive.
Re: Audio Studio Manager
Ah, so I had the wrong end of the stick entirely, thought it was an ap for the iPhone. No mac here so that's the software out for me. Ah well, thanks for the info. -- From: Jon Solitro jon.soli...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 7:00 PM To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Audio Studio Manager Brian, It's in the Mac App Store.

Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
Hi, I have had no major accessibility issues in mountain lion. What major issues have you had as lots of improovements have been made in mountain lion and if Apple broke accessibility you would not want to hear the complaints? Wipe my mac in icloud needs major accessibility work as none of the web buttons on icloud.com are labeled.

Re: Audio Studio Manager
Yes I'm running Snow Leopard
Re: Rolling back my Macbook Air for PT use, how far should I go?
The only accessibility issues in ML is with Pro TOols outside of PT its is a great OS with improvements in accessibility. How to wipe your disk and do a clean install. Get a bootable copy of the os you want to install on cd or usb thumb drive or on sd card if your mac has an sd card reader. Go into start up disc in system preferences and set that install disc as your start up disc, then restart your system. Give it a minute or two then turn on voice over. in the table navigate to disc utility and select your macintosh hd,, delete it, and then choose that new untitled drive as the place to install your new OS. If you have an air with an SSD or an pro, a multi time wipe to erase the data is not recommended, and disc utility may prevent u from doing it.

Re: Audio Studio Manager
Have to chime in here again and agree HRS is a great resource if you are interested in sharpening your skills in a daw agnostic manner. And the fatheads are great mice as i own a pair. Great for guitar cabs, acoustic guitar, flutes, horns, etc. Oter mic in my collection shine way better on vocals than those do IMO though, but they have others better suited for voice if thats your main instrument.
