Re: three questions about audio, protools and blind people...
Hello Everyone, yesterday I was too hasty and its a completly other subject but I want to react on the hyperbraille subject. I went to the link Nickus posted and there was one thing which intrigued me. that was the pixelmode of the display. From what i could gather was that the display was able to display immages and with the technique of the ipad and iphone you can draw immages the flash moovie was too short to figure out all the details but I think it'll be an enormous improvement when this display comes into production. As far as i know now its a project which has to be evaluated. Thanks for the information Nickus.

Frank, no problem. This is on topic. Nickus, historically, the tracking or mix engineer receives income from either the studio that employs them, or else was contracted by a project's Executive Producer. In either case, upstream of those people, the money came from larger projects, such as producing demo or album tracks for an artist, work on a film or television project, music for commercials, etc. The studio was the music and sound factory, and the engineer was one of the technicians. 1. Music sales are profoundly low when compared to historical figures. The huge music markets of the 20th century are gone. Since people aren't buying like they used to, no one wants to invest the huge amounts of money to elaborately record artists. From small time to big time recording artists, album production budgets have shrunk to the bare minimum. This is the case in all media. Instead of hiring live musicians, most film and television music is now sequenced. When people are actually recorded, in many cases, recording is kept to a minimum. It is cheaper to edit than to spend lots of expensive time to get the great take. 2. Without the huge in-flow of large recording budgets, the money no longer is available to support most of the large recording facilities of just a few years ago. As the facilities close, that means less steady work for lots of people formerly employed by the technical side of the recording industry, including engineers. 3. Anyone with $1,000 can record a passable version of a song at home, and anyone with $10,000 and a few years of practice and study can do a competent job of recording and mixing an album at home. There are wonnabee producers and mixers under every rock, and there are so many that they work for little to nothing. They might not have golden ears and decades of experience, but even those that do have found it harder to insist on past pay when there is so much competition and less money available to pay them. Why rent studio time to cut a demo when your buddy can run GarageBand? Why pay someone to write and arrange music for a commercial, and book musicians and a studio to record it when someone can be contracted through a web site to throw together some loops with a few overdubs for a couple of hundred bucks? Everyone is trying to make their project happen for less money. So, in summary, there is less money available to support a larger number of people that are attempting to perform this work. It's important not to live under illusions when trying to turn this sort of work in to income. The day of the mega studio and the

Version 9.0.3 is out, certainly for HD and, most likely, the regular version as well. I haven't looked at it yet and won't have a chance to update until this afternoon but I doubt we'll see any changes regarding accessibility in this update. that said, I think it's time to follow up and see what's doin' at avid.

Hello Evreryone, esspecially the American ones. For three or more years i subscribed to the same day music newsletter. I was wondering if they ship to other countries or is it just for the us? With regards, Peter.
Re: three questions about audio, protools and blind people...
Hopefully it won't cost $12,000 like the VideoTim, but, given how expensive it is to manufacturer cells, I doubt that this will be anything approaching affordable, even for those of us with good jobs/income. Thanks for the info, but this isn't really related to Pro TOols, or even recording, so we should take this thread off list.
