Just finished watching the film at an MPSE event in Toronto with Scott in attendanceā¦still a great looking and sounding film that engaged the audience entirely. Thanks to the MPSE and Vaughan International Film Festival for a great evening.

Understood, thanks. I donāt feel quite so archaic! Is your SM / Radium Scratch recorder directory a permanently referenced folder in one of your SM databases or, at the end of a film, do you take the time to tidy it up and re-folder the ākeepersā elsewhere? My Radium record folder overfloweth!

Either way, do you simply rely on the default file naming out of Radium for those ātemporaryā sounds (which, I appreciate, can now be used more methodically with Radium UCS naming in 6.2)?
I struggle with quickly ending up with many auto-named SM REC files from Radium to later sort through.
Thx!

Do you allow newly recorded radium elements to show up in your SM database (as they do by default) and then spot them to your PT timeline from SM to continue working on them?
Or do you have a script of some type that sends the new sounds to PT from a Finder folder?

Tim, if I may, I have a question about your workflow unrelated to the 6.2 update.
At 01:05:15 in your video you mention something a practice that I also have: Using Radium to create āsource materialā that you then bring into PT to work with further.
Iām curious about your workflow in doing so.

Given that those machines canāt be upgraded by users (if I recall correctly), I would put as much RAM in as you can afford.
Also, in our labs, I used the old rule of keeping picture files on a separate bus/volume. We stored QuickTimes on the internal drive and PT sessions/media on external volumes.

Pro Tools? Once you add picture, it will start to strain.
In 20+ years of teaching, the greatest challenges I had with students using their own machines were traced back to the *other* things they will do with those machines. Conflicting software, installing Media Composer *and* ProTools, etc.

Congratulations, Frank. The track was wonderful, a perfect compliment to the entire film and one of my favourites of last year. Well done!

When I first read this, I saw āwhinersā as āwinnersā. Both words make a true sentence. (At least recent history.)

Ahhhhhh yesā¦the Newsletters. Entirely sensible! Too much so for me, I guess. Thanks very much.

We have a chain of book stores here in Canada (āIndigoāā¦similar to Barnes & Noble) that seems to always do right by Yalebooks. When I was doing my post-grad, they seemed to always have what I was looking for or could get it quickly. I was pleased to see yours listed as āpre-orderableā!

Pre-ordered!

Sympathies to you, Tim. Donāt beat yourself up too much. I bet that Don was chuffed to be able to follow the progress of your career and that your successes brought him great happiness. Our industry is better for what Don brought to it and you continue his legacy with your own efforts and skills.

British explorer George Vancouver, if my memory of high school Canadian History serves me correctly. But that was a *long* time ago in my studiesā¦George might still have been alive thenā¦ š

Nearly as useful: CTRL+CMD + touch on an encoder brings up the corresponding automation lane in the edit window. (If youāre on a control surface of some kind.)

Yeah, agreedā¦Iām just hoping it pushes Avid towards a fix. That said, Iāve been working in a different room for the last two weeks and I havenāt had a single one of these errors, nor has the other mixer on the dialogue sideā¦and we both have (at least) a dozen folders openā¦ š¤·š»āāļø

Frank, did you see my post on the DUC about an open folder track possibly being a contributor to this error?

Congratulations, Steve. Just back from seeing it in the cinema. (Resisted watching the screener until Iād seen it in a proper room at least once.) Brilliant work.

I thought you might enjoy Nathan and Dustin shooting in the garage under the mixing stage in the middle of the night. Elements that are featured in Silo S02!

Alsoā¦āqualityā vs. āquantityā (no, not looking to open a debate on the merits of any artistic creationā¦Iām in favour of it all, especially amongst youth and marginalized people). Lastly (and without having read too deeply): Surely the 90 second āsongsā that are so popular today skew this stat.
