In the meantime heres a photo from one of the recording sessions:

> AVID/Digidesign apparently developing a native/pro version of ProTools aka ProProTools Native – hmmm seems the post got pulled before I even got around to reblogging it here…. heres a bit of the hyperbole from the deleted article “TDM is dead. Digi knows this. A new version of Pro Tools will be out – with all of the HD functionality, but without TDM cards. All CPU based. Expect it this year, maybe even in Q3″ which sounds half bollocks – AVID arent about to shaft their HD investors, but if they were to ditch DV Toolkit & offer an upgrade to ProProTools Native I think people wouldn’t mind… UPDATE: bit more speculation here

> In film post production, good organisation & management/coordination is literally worth its weight in gold & I always fear for the worst when I suddenly realise a film I am working on has no post production supervisor: the road will be a little bumpier & I will have to check twice & assume nothing about EVERYTHING, but mostly I feel sorry for the producer as they will end up wearing all sorts of hidden costs that a good post supervisor knows & makes producers aware of from day one…. And it must be the same times a zillion for VFX companies – if people start acting on offhand comments, much wasted work could easily be done….

Nice pic Tim! Looking forward to what crazy sounds you might be coming up with this time!
Tim,
I read the article about pro tools – before it was removed.
It in no way stated that AVID was actually developing this – it was purely speculative – largely based on the idea that to HD process cards are no longer more powerful than the host CPUs that they reside in. At least that’s what I read.
