Back in the olden days, when #Fairlight and #ProTools were still their own companies, I was trained on the Fairlight Constellation at a sister studio of one running Pro Tools. I came back to the Pro Tools one and was talking about how badass the Constellation was, including (but not limited to) this wonderful "rotate" knob on the panner. A traditional pan knob moves one dimensions at a time. There are also panning joysticks that enable to you two dimensions. The "rotate" knob pans around the circle. It's the same as spinning the joystick around the outer edge, but if you're starting with something panned closer to the center of a surround image, it's moving around a much smaller circle than you could do with a joystick, and if you're panning a stereo sound, it's rotating that stereo image around the circle, something I'd defy anyone to do very accurately with a pair of joysticks. I thought this knob was amazing, but one of my coworkers at the Pro Tools studio poo-poohed it, saying he'd had one of those on a console he used and thought he'd use it all the time, but he never did. I never got to use the Fairlight enough back then to tell him he was wrong, but I'm using it now and he was wrong. That knob is my new favorite way to pan things. It's amazing.

Yamaha přišla s novinkou CC1 USB Controller. Control surface, který má být kompatibilní se systémem Elgato Stream Deck a míří nejen na hudební produkci, ale i na streaming, podcasty a video.

„Kompatibilní se StreamDeck standardem“ bude podle všeho znamenat hlavně těch 12 LCD tlačítek (fungují přes Stream Deck software). Zbytek zařízení je spíš „klasický“ DAW control surface (fader/knoby/transport). Uvidíme, co ještě Yamaha doplní v dalších materiálech a updatech. Popř. zda další ovládací prvky budou podporovat např. aplikace od Bitfocusu.

Co CC1 obsahuje:
• 12 přiřaditelných LCD kláves + neomezené banky (konfigurace přes Yamaha Control Center, mapování i přes Stream Deck app)
• 100mm motorizovaný fader s touch sensing a jemným rozlišením (10-bit)
• AI knob + 4 multifunkční enkodéry pro rychlé ovládání parametrů
• DAW sekce: transport, channel/EQ ovládání… a přímá podpora Cubase/Nuendo a podpora Pro Tools
• Integrace pro streaming: Yamaha zmiňuje kompatibilitu napříč ekosystémy Elgato + OBS + Steinberg
• Foot pedal input (Yamaha FC5/FC7) – praktické pro push-to-talk, marker, start/stop apod.
• Budoucí rozšiřování: Yamaha avizuje další integrace (včetně ovládání vybraného Yamaha HW)

Uváděné MSRP je $435 v době psaní novinky cca. 9 100 Kč.

okay Mac people, is this a thing I want or should I drag my feet on updates as long as humanly possible?

I just need #ProTools and #ReaperDAW to keep working.

What's a good #DAW for Mac to use for #recording demos and scratch tracks for "real" recordings?
I need to set a click & record scratch guitars, send them to the rest of the band, who will record drums & bass.
Something not-subscription based would be nice. Something that doesn't take over your computer would be nice too.
I had the lite version of #ProTools it added too much garbage to my sound settings. I'm told #Reaper exports don't work well with other DAWS.
What are my options? #LogicPro?

If you're a #composer or #editor sharing #AAF files between #ProTools and #DaVinci (admittedly probably a niche audience) - this one's for you...

A tale of two NLEs

I was recently providing technical assistance to writer/director Suki Chan and sound designer/composer Dominik Scherrer with file interchange between Suki’s preferred editing application DaVi…

Spent last half hour chatting (so slowly) over #JS8call on 40 meters with a radio and music nerd from 470 miles away. All via magic radio waves going out over wire hanging from a painter's pole, powered by a measly 2 watts.

And what do we do with this magic communication method?

That's right, we shit on #Avid and #ProTools.
