www.pricewatch.comyou could get some USB 3 hubs and daisy chain via that. I believe the USB spec supports 127 devices on a single chain...

Sounds like a good idea! Ward, i'll definitely make myself available for that.

I believe Wiz lives in Australia, so shipping those Sterling Modular desks from PA, USA is probably not an option. Wiz, i'm gonna suggest you grab Google Sketchup and start designing!

That seems like a ton of extra work for several parties (the original engineer, and the other guy doing the edit in the other daw) compared to just working with the original session, which has all the routing already set up by the original guy.

Maybe this alto music has an avid mbox solo with pro tools 12 and year support for 349.00 The pro tools is the vanilla version so limited to 32 tracks but it is 12 not express version www.altomusic.com/avid-fast-track-solo-with-full-protools-12-software you mean this? I don't think i've seen a pro-tools session that involved overdubs that had less than 32 tracks in the types of music i get called to work on, so that's a no-go. Svart, I don't see how consolidation fits in this situation. The engineers for that big session are not going to want to consolidate all of the takes, just so another editor can load them into a different daw to weed thru them, and then later import them back into a protools session. This is literally a "pick up where the other editor left off" situation.

guys, i'm talking about the raw unedited sessions that have all the different takes unchosen. like, the band just finished tracking their 8th pass thru the song and now it's time to weed thru all of those takes and see what's usable and they don't want to pay the big studio $75/hr to do that.
so, that's the angle i'm viewing this from. I'd be that more economical solution to get the project edited, and then they can bring the unmixed-but-fully-edited project to the big studio they tracked everything at to get mixed.

I sat in on a mixing/editing session last night at a studio in Williamsburg, ny. obviously they were using protools. at the end of the night, they still had to edit the horns and vocals and needed to book another session. The studio was pretty booked up for the next couple weeks and they charge a pretty hefty hourly fee, and it got me thinking. after watching the engineer do what he was doing, aside from being extremely fast with the key commands, I know that I could do what he was doing if I had ProTools. Now, Avid dropped their monthly subscription price to $24.92/mo or buy it for $599. So, i'm kinda thinking that I could pick up some extra work doing editing (definitely not mixing yet) for ProTools Sessions. Now, Sweetwater has PT available on their 24month thing, which makes buying it cost $24.96/mo for 24 months. You guys know that I'm a logic guy, but I learn Faaaaaaaast. Ask Tony.
Now, Sweetwater has PT available on their 24month thing, which makes buying it cost $24.96/mo for 24 months. You guys know that I'm a logic guy, but I learn Faaaaaaaast and I really only saw the engineer use 4 key commands during the process for editing: resize region, crossfade regions, fade in region, fade out region. That, and the take folders/playlists thing were all that he used over the course of editing the drums/percussion.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do?
(apologies for the gearslutz style post lol)

I did a null test between protools and logic 9 and ableton Live a couple years ago. Once I set them to all use the same Pan Law (-3db), the test file generated by SpectraFoo and rendered by each DAW nulled out inside each DAW when I compared them all. www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/813082-curiosity-satisfied.html It's an old thread so the dropbox link is dead.

Most people don't know where that path is tho.. they learn where it is by installing. key word: "most"

John, did you consider downloading the Logic Remote for iPad/iPhone?

I'm prety sure logic will tell you if you don't have enough space to install them. You can choose what to downloadunder the Logic menu via "Download additional content". just don't download everything, then move it, then download the rest after your Symbolic Links are in place.

just to clarify, you have to download them to the local boot drive first before you can move them. there's no way around that.

you have to use Terminal and Symbolic Aliases to get it to work. it works fine over here, all of my logic sounds exist on my external raid5 enclosure.

NoFilterChuck or anyone else, how do you change the meters to show anything over-18dbfs yellow and anything peaking over -12 red or something like that? you gotta "Show Package Contents" on the Logic X.app and edit the actual graphical file that comprises the meter image. Same process that folks use to reskin logic to their own color schemes. logicxinterfaces.wordpress.com/

Software instruments...but the more I think about it, the more it just sounds like a pita... Perhaps it would help if you "sat in on the session" of someone using logic? Lots of dudes here use it, and with apps like Skype/hangouts/Teamviewer enabling screensharing, it would be easy to see the workflow, how to do stuff.

I never got off the ground with software instruments, mostly because of the latency performing them within a DAW. I could see hosting them on another 'puter dedicated with a super low buffer, but I invariably use synths as sweetening once I'm well into a mix, and it's frustrating. Is there some method I should be aware of to solve that problem? I have zero problems here running logic at 256 samples. at 48khz that's 5.33ms delay.

the only reason for you to switch to Logic would be the instruments and sounds that come with it. if you wanted to mess around with Alchemy or EXS24 or ES2, for example... Or the Apple Loops...
