From the DUC (extract from the "AES daily"edition, page 30):

"Digidesign Rolls Out New Pro Tools Software
At Booth 1447 Digidesign is featuring a number of new products, including new Pro Tools software, 6.0 for Mac OS X, and TDM 5.3.3 for Windows XP.
Pro Tools 6.0 boasts an all-new look and new features on Mac OS X. Shipping the end of the year, the new software offers improved performance and support for dual processor Macintosh G4 computers. Pro Tools 6.0 has improved organization and MIDI support, increased mixing options, and much more control. In this new version, Pro Tools has received a MIDI makeover, fully supporting the Mac OS X CoreMIDI engine and including MIDI Time Stamping (MTS) for sample-accurate MIDI timing with software samplers and synths (TDM, RTAS, HTDM and DirectConnect), and sub-millisecond accurate MIDI timing with MIDI I/O and other supported MTS-capable interfaces. Pro Tools 6.0 also has intelligent tools for groove creation and modification, including the new Beat Detective 2.0 that supports extraction and generation of DigiGroove templates based on audio performances for timing and velocity of passage. DigiGroove templates are compatable with new Groove Injection templates.
Pro Tools TDM 5.3.3 for Windows XP includes many of the features previously released in Pro Tools 5.3.1 software for Macintosh computers. Features include integrated control of PRE, mulit-DSP 48 bit mixer, Increased SYNC I/O options, and more. Pro Tools 5.3.3 software for Pro Tools|HD offers Windows XP users improved workflow efficiency through trus simultaneous sharing of media assets."

TDM and HD owners might enjoy this, while PTLE owners might, once again, be left behind...

Boy, you're really out of your mind...

Glad to see you're working on that ad hominem thing.

So your inexcusable abuse of your Moderator privileges in publishing that kind of private information was completely wasted, wasn't it?

...you would have noticed that the time a post has been written can be found (by any normal member...) at the top of the post... No need to be a modrator for that... Stop being paranoid...

Nice try. You posted the AMOUNT OF TIME I was on the board. That is not part of the time stamp. No paranoia was involved: just a moderator abusing his privelges, and being called on it.

I've asked to the people who created this board to erase me from the list. I find it harder and harder to keep my cool with people like you around and I definitely agree that a moderator should always...well, moderate. Meanwhile, don't be too proud of yourself, you're not the only troll that made me loose my cool these past days...

I'm not proud at all or pleased at all. I'm sure you've made many valuable contributions to these forums and helped many people. In fact, I urge you--URGE you--to take a walk and soberly reconsider it, weighing your knowledge and experience and ability to help against the momentary upsets with some people, like me, who manage to get under your skin. Which isn't something I set out to do to begin with.

I'm not a troll at all. I've been expressing my views--backed up with facts--about music related products and OS problems. If this isn't a forum for free expression, then what's the point? If it's supposed to be only a continuous feel-good free advertisement, then how will any of us, as consumers, ever be able to bring pressure on the marketers operating in a free market to improve their products and services and stay competitive?

I have nothing personal against you at all. I call 'em as I see 'em, and that rubs some people the wrong way. But I'm not trying to stop you from expressing *your* opposing views, or even DigiDesign from trotting out a PR rep to extoll its virtues. You, however, seem bent on trying to gag me, and to be as abusive as possible in the process. I didn't pick this fight, and don't want a fight.

I also think it would be a great loss to the MacMusic community for you to step down as moderator. I hope we're straight on that.

So I'm not going to bother attempting to dissect or respond to any more of your personal insults. I'm genuinely sorry if something I said about a music product developer and their policies and products got to you so personally. It certainly wasn't directed at you. I genuinely hope you'll take a little time to reconsider your decision about moderating, and will continue to use your knowledge and experience to help others.
