I can’t promise much, but I will look into it.

Re: Protools subscription question

[Slau Halatyn]

Some folks choose not to do the subscription model and it's separate from the 
copy protection which is the iLok part of the equation. In other words, the two 
are separate things. You need the iLok no matter what. The subscription model 
gets you tech support, any upgrades and a discounted price the following year 
for the annual support plan.

Re: Shortcuts

[Slau Halatyn]

A curated list of shortcuts is a great idea since not all shortcuts will apply 
to blind users. In addition, the Windows shortcut equivalents are redundant. 
I'll try to edit together a document to reflect the most useful shortcuts.

Re: Cleaning up midi files

[Slau Halatyn]

The MIDI Event List is where you'll find those things. Option-equals brings up 
the window. Nobody has done a recent tutorial on the way the MIDI Event List 
works. I'm in North Carolina right now and won't be back in NYC for a few days. 
At some point, I'll try to give an overview unless somebody chimes in ahead of 
time.

Re: Marker frustrations

[John Gunn]

Hello Slau,

preferences and still no go.

(I am wonderring and most likely something isn’t set correctly in the session.

Re: Protools subscription question

[Shawn Brock]

Hello, yes, my MacBook Pro only has two USB ports, that is what makes the 
additional two USB ports only Apple keyboard a blessing. I keep my iLock 
plugged into the keyboard. 


As for the subscription, I had good luck purchasing through Sweetwater. The 
iLock  is included in the subscription price. Or at least it was when I 
purchased from them.
