Hi Del,

Seems overly long to me. Also, I don’t know if it’s true now but there was a time that some operating systems couldn’t handle a file name that long. It also looks like you had spaces in that file name, another potential problem. But the real problem is the length.

Same here Michael. I transferred all of my multitracks through the years. From 8 track, 16 and 24 to ADATs and finally to wav files.

You also just reminded me that I have some great live tracks that I need to go back and turn into cues.

[Art Munson]

Yes indeed Michael. Happy Soy Turkey Day to all!

I never throw anything out, I just work on it until it feels right. It just so happens that I’m working on one right now. It took a bit longer for everything to fall in place (about a week) but I’ve learned not to freak out and just put the time in. At least that’s what works for me.

Spammers are hitting MLR hot and heavy so I’ve been trying more robust spam tools to keep them at bay. Recently the latest update of the spam plugin has been locking some folks out and causing various hiccups. I just went back to an older version that I think is better. So, patience please.

Thanks
Art

Yes, congrats Cari!

Hi Scott, please check this link:

I’ve been working on my relational database for years. It keeps track of everything. Titles, re-titles, lengths, bpm, writers, contacts, etc and they are all inter-related. It’s humongous but I can pull anything I want out of it into a spreadsheet.

Is there any logic to submitting a full track (for example) to one library as exclusive, but saving all of the variations (30, 60, drums only, etc.) for non-exclusive use by more than one library?

I think the library you had the exclusive deal would take issue with that. Most contracts would cover any variations of a track.

I don’t believe that is an issue with BMI/ASCAP.

Do I have to pay for my own music when I publish it?

Sorry but I do not understand that question.

Hi euca, I don’t even know who owns the Bigfoot master now. I should just post it anyway as a number of people are interested in it. Bigfoot was the band that other musicians came to see. It was quite something but like most bands it just blew up and swore me off bands for good!

Hi Alan,

I have 3 swappable drives and 2 internal. Here’s my setup.

1.) System Drive – Swappable – One drive Win 7, another drive Win XP
2.) Audio Files – Internal
3.) Backup of Audio Files – Swappable
4.) Sample Libraries – Internal
5.) Extra – Swappable – I use this drive for various chores such as making backups of backups, backing up sample libraries and archiving. I rotate these drives with those I have in a safe deposit box for offsite protection.

One of the things I did when I went Win 7 64 bit was to keep a separate Win XP install on another drive. I have removable drive bays so I just swap to Win XP if I have to go back to older projects.

I’m having a few quirky bugs also but I’m sure they will get sorted out.
