… and lets you try out odd shit like this. But when looking at it I start thinking that I maybe just should get a mixer with decent EQs and remove pretty much all the plug-ins!

Bob has not only made Skootch - the window manager, but also Rx - a backup program for Pro Tools. Here’s what he has to say about it.

Dr. Bob’s Rx Backup is a data backup application, with some interesting new additions. Some of these new features were created for one specific market; that being a recording studio that uses Digidesign Pro Tools running on Windows XP or Vista.

Ever heard of a program called Skootch? I’m not surprised, to get it, you need to get ahold of the creator. So what does it do? It improves Pro Tools’ support for multiple screens on Windows. Here’s what Dr Bob has to say about it.

I was never happy with the minimal support Pro Tools has for multiple video monitors. It’s just not all it should be. So I decided to do something about it, and Skootch is the result.

My posts on Musikmesse is about to come to it’s end. I can hear some sighs in the back, and some “FINALLY!” in the fronts. Here are some random notes and pictures that didn’t really fit into any other posts.

It almost seems surreal when you’re running around with your girlfriend, almost racing through a section of the guitars, and bam! There stands Kerry King signing posters. I’m a Slayer fan, and Kerry King is of course a legend, but I’ve never been someone chasing after stars, and could never understand the whole idolizing bit - so I didn’t bother with standing in the autograph line.

… That’s what we say here in Sweden. The word “jul” derives from an old tradition that predates Scandinavian Christianity. “Jul” (sometimes written “yule”) is a time of food, drink and feasting. Yesterday we took a bite of the traditional “Jul” ham which some scholars believe is an old sacrifice to the old Scandinavian god Freyr.

That’s enough history/religion for one day. Loopmasters has been sending out a special loop pack in case your running low on inspiration this holiday.

The Pro Tools wish list really brought to attention what people are missing in Pro Tools. While much of this is still valid (as you’ll see further down in this post), I gotta hand it to Digidesign. You really gave me a cock punch with 7.4! And that’s a good thing (don’t ask about my sexuality). I find that stability and performance is improved. Not perfect, but improved. Kinda sucked much of the heat from my original list didn’t it? Thankfully, ProTooler have a lot of readers that just happen to be a pretty observant bunch that found lots of other flaws I agree with! And being a whiny snob myself, I had no problems coming up with a few more things myself.

Here are some pictures I found through the Digidesign Scandinavian newsletter. It’s not uncommon to see Peter of PAIN posing with the Mbox Mini here, but these pictures are a little on the whackier side.

Anyone experienced this? It seems to be a very rare error and I’ve been told Digidesign doesn’t even consider it a bug. I had one of these errors last night and the session was totally corrupted and couldn’t be opened today. Most of the backup sessions were corrupted as well and it wasn’t possible to import session from them either.

“Could not complete the Open Session… command because bad data encountered while translating MIDI Chunk List”

Anyone had this and lived to tell the story?

Please stop it with the dongles… They are just plain horrible.
