PT6 "officialy" Announced..., at last Options

[Mr.T]

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...

[Levon River]

Excuse me Levon, but I will back up the words of Mr T.

Well, since he hasn't said anything on-topic to me yet, I can only understand that to mean you're here to endorse his off-topic personal attacks, insults, and ad hominem. Is that correct, M. LePetitMartien? As weak and kittenish and ineffective as his attacks were, they need some back-up. Glad the poor boy found someone who would actually help him attempt to insult someone. No surprise that it's you. So quote exactly what you claim you're backing up. 'kay? Then we'll see if you can back it up or not. I don't think you can back up a word of it, but I'd love to see how you do. Are you up to it? Want to play?

THIS topic is about PT6 and its anouncement

Then why are you wasting time backing up the off-topic personal insults of Mr. T?

PT6, and issues about it that Mr. T *HIMSELF* raised (which I prove below) is EXACTLY what my posts were about--until, that is, he jumped in with his personal attacks, which apparently you are reckless enough to endorse. My posting record in this thread proves it. If you, or he, think I'll sit still to be a punching bag for his, or your, snide, rude, unmotivated personal attacks on me, you picked the wrong boy. That's all. It's that simple. He found that out the hard way. Now he needs your help to recover. So far it's a walk in the park. Can't you bring a few more, just to make it interesting?

not a thread on your personnel opinion...on the relevancy of such a product, digi hardware and so on.

Well, apparently you never found out what "forum" means before you lined up to start "moderating" one. Just to prove how willing I always am to help, here is the definition of FORUM, M. LePetitMartien:

"A public meeting place for open discussion; A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas; A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation."

So are you rewriting the English dictionary, as well as endorsing unjustifiable personal attacks? This may seem like a radical idea, but you might think about at least learning to speak the language first before you go changing all of the definitions. If my opinions and ideas and discussion about the topic of this thread, and the relevant issues raised in it, are not allowed in this "forum," why call it a forum at all? That would make it a lie, wouldn't it?

And, by the way, if you're going to censor *my* commentary on PT6 and the related systems and hardware, allow me to humbly suggest that you delete your own opinionated "Pop the champagne" gee-whiz ProTools endorsement in this thread while you're at it so you won't embarrass yourself so publicly as a *total* hypocrite.

As for the hardware connection to the release of PT6, it was DigiDesign, not me, who made PT6 entirely dependent on their own hardware, and who made it available ONLY for *certain* PT systems, so take it up with them--not with me. And it was Mr. T himself who brought up that EXACT ISSUE. So take it up with him if you don't like it being in this thread, not with me. It's that exact issue that I was discussing, raised by Mr. T himself, which I prove below. So are you going to limit everyone to talking only about the software with no address at all to the hardware it works exclusively with? That should be a fascinating discussion. And if you're going to do that, you're going to have to go back and edit out Mr. T's reference to the ONLY DigiDesign HARDWARE-BASED systems that PT6 works with, or else you're really going to be exposing yourself as a hypocrite. That kind of puts you between a rock and a Mr. T, just from where I sit. (Maybe you could solve it by just censoring the entire topic.)

I will tolerate NO INSULTS either against
macmusic fellows, or any other member.

IS THAT CLEAR?

It will be clear once you go back through this thread and edit out every single INSULT from bixpender and Mr. T against me. Until you do that, the only thing clear to me is your hypocrisy.

Will you just censor *all* this to cover up that kind of hypocrisy? If so, it will all appear in a *much* more widely-read forum that's *actually* a forum, by definition. Want to play?

Now back on topic if you can manage it, please.

Well, I couldn't manage to get Mr. T back on topic; he's still slinging insults at me--you know, those things you will tolerate NONE of toward ANY member. Like me.

So let's see if I *can* actually manage getting *you* back on topic. Here are my on-topic questions for you:

1. Mr. T himself raised the following issue in this thread: "you might need to considere that the infos mentionned above [about PT6] only concern really expensive systems (TDM and HD only), not 'affordable systems as the 001, the 002 or the MBox." So is it true or is it not true, M. LePetitMartien, that PT6, for OS X, is not available for the low-end MBox and 001 systems that odrec and aladinsane expressed their feelings about IN THIS THREAD, and which I was responding to? Yes or no?

2. Pursuant to Mr. T himself raising the issue of these systems IN THIS THREAD, is it true, or is it not true, M. LePetitMartien, that the software version of PT that *is* available for the MBox system is arbitrarily limited by DigiDesign to 24 tracks, and the software version that *is* available for the 001 system is arbitrarily limited by DigiDesign to 32 tracks (8 more than the Mbox system), but that you get 8 FREE audio tracks with ProTools Free? Is that correct, M. LePetitMartien?

Maybe if you can answer just two simple on-topic questions based on issues that Mr. T *himself* raised IN THIS THREAD, you will do better than he, and start looking like an actual moderator of an actual FORUM, rather than like a petulant bully. I feel certain that you must not be just a petulant bully, and have very high hopes indeed that I can manage to swing you back on-topic.

Please don't disappoint.
