Thank you David, I finally got the feeling I can work with it. Very useful.

but the wired ones do not have the Touch ID

Thanks David for the detailed explanations on batch resaving! Just curious, if we use more than one different version of Kontakt, do we redo the batch resaves on each version? (Kontakt 5,6,7 etc)

Beautiful piece!! Hope to have a chance to listen to it plaaed by a live orchestra

Universal music the music mafia

Brilliant job, DAVID!

I started with Apple many years ago in College and after graduation. The corporate world then finally moved me to Windows. I do use an Iphone and am writing this on my Ipad. So the Mini got me interested in moving back to Apple for PC’s. I do have a Mircosoft Surface use now as my daily PC.

Merci beaucoup serait il possible d'avoir le mode traduction automatique ?

Thank you David for your insight. As an unwilling ex-Finale user, this has been a hard transition, but I'm grateful to be moving to Dorico. Although my work as a transcriptionist doesn't often require contemporary/aleatoric etc methods of notation, it's been a huge caveat for the software I use for my own composition. I'm going to make the migration to Dorico this month, and I'm feeling at peace about it.

It is kind a “duh” moment to say that the M4 Mac mini should not be at the center of professional music production. Now a discussion about the M4 pro Mac mini is an interesting discussion. Certainly an upcoming M4 Max Studio will certainly deserve consideration. But I think it may come down to cash flow of the business and how much GPU power that they need. The CPU power of the M4 max chip isn’t a lot more than the M4pro. So, it will come down to the needed GPU power.

Hi David. Do you know where I can resort to get help setting up the EastWest Hollywood VSTs in Dorico 5. I mean from the bottom up? I am a computer programmer and musician but I probably don't have that much experience with these libraries or using Expression maps or Channel switching etc. I know the basics though.

Another great video!

Dorico is such a great program. Thanks for the walkthrough.

This is great, as I am a Long time Mac user. If you could include how you started your Kontakt category smart folder categorization that would be of primary importance how to get this organization started. How to begin this smart folder organization might be missed by many, so some details on the first few steps would be most helpful to many folks.I find this fantastic. Great job!

David, such a wonderful and informative video - thank you for sharing all of this critical research with us! You've saved me so much time and energy and it's really appreciated! One question: You mentioned that you glued a heat shield to the Lexar drive before sealing it inside the enclosure. Does the shield come with the drive or did you buy it elsewhere? I'm asking becauseI at about 5:55 minutes into your discussion, the Amazon page of the Lexar drive does show an option to purchase the M790 with a Heatsink, but it looks like you selected the one without it. So I was wondering whether the Maiwo enclosure might not be large enough for the heatsink that Lexar makes -- or the Lexar heatsink might perhaps be inferior to one you found elsewhere. Many thanks in advance for the clarification!

Nice video, David. Personally, my strategy will be to sit tight with my M1 Max Mac Studio until there’s an M4 Mac Studio. At that point my M1 Max is going to become one hell of an overkill office computer!!

It's not free...

Good technique and beautiful cue as well!

Awesome! Thank you!

I have to try and figure out how to do this in Cubase 🤔

WELL THE POWERS THAT BE OWE BLACK MUSICIANS AND WRITERS BILLIONS FOR ALL THEY STOLE FROM THE BLACK CULTURE

GET RID OF THE MIDDLE MAN

UDIO IS THE BOAT * BEST OF ALL TIME

SUNO IS THE GOAT 🐐

This is an amazing technique, and a great demonstration. Thank you! You mentioned scoring to picture and hitting sync points. Have you come up with any procedures for accomplishing that with this technique? Would you create a video with punches and streamers and conduct to that?

Great video! Only concern is fan noise-if you have three NVME drives, must add up a bit. Do you know if the OWC Express 1M2 enclosure is quieter or the same as the one you're using?

It outperforms the M1 Max and it’s only $599 and $499 if you’re a student.

David, this is great and I was just thinking about this the other day on a piece I started. Do you think there is a consideration on length of certain samples such as cymbal rolls or programming versus presampled harp glisses? What are your thoughts on having to go back a tweaking or replacing those types of events? Thanks. M

Nothing new or original, just copy, copy, copy. Moronic.

Musicality + extreme technical DAW proficiency = awesome channel!! DP has timecode-locked streamers and punches so you can still hit your important moments!

If I curse and swear at you, will you block me please? Please block me. I don’t wanna see your crap videos in my feed. Please please please block me.

How can we achieve this in logic pro?

Why making such a big thing about SSD capacity. You don't know you can use an external SSD to increase capacity. I have a 2 Tb NVME external SSD and very happy.

There are a few tutorials on upgrading the RAM but they are not for everyone. Some risk involved and not beginner friendly.

So glad this video was randomly recommended to me. Natural sounding tempo changes are not easy to achieve. This is a great option. Cubase supports it so can't wait to try it out. Thanks for posting this!

A topic that is not raised enough when it comes to achieving musicality in the DAW. Great video. Thanks.

This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic during about a year of research; clear, not too long, & straight to the point.

Thanks David!

Just a quick question when where who in the Apple company promoted to Mac mini as a pro computer? Mac mini is and has been promoted as to entryway into the Apple ecosystem so there is no issue with the Apple. The buyer may have an issue in that case, if you are a pro user then look for a pro computerMacBook Pro or something like that. See there is no issue. There is no problem.

I think NotePerformer is in a different league. Thank you for taking the time and effort to demonstrate professionally why this is the case, I think it's not easy to do well.

The only thing wrong with the machine based on your view is the price of the more-fully configured machines. Big deal. There is nothing "wrong" with the new Mini.

the 2019 Mac Pro is dead, according to Apple. It's out of warranty by now and Apple is really pushing on sales of the Arm chips over Intel.

This piece is beautiful! And I can clearly see what you’re talking about “conducting” the tempo of the piece.

The fricking power button is on the bottom!

I would love to see Eternity and Genesis from Audiobro. Definitelly we need another comparsion/review film like this one ;)

I used Finale from the first year it was announced and I had used it up until 2023. In-between I tired Sibelius and found it was no easier to use that Finale. I became proficient in Fanile over the years and I did not want to go through a steep learning curve with Sibelius. When Dorico came out it looked like a plus, but after some time working with it I still found it was not what I was willing to learn. Then I found MuseScore. I have found MuseScore very easy to use learn and get help when I had a question about note entry. The Hand book is very helpful. I have ported over much of my music from Finale via music XML. I have done the same with DP 11. Working within MuseScore has be very easy. I hightly recommend.

Thank you. That simple "Audio Only" render setting threw me off for too long.

What’s wrong with the title of this video?

Apple only updated the memory to 16gb because the AI eats up 8gb of that I’m sure.
