Presentation
The presentation will be centered around the new features of the Pro
Tools version 8 release.
There will be a Pro Tools HD3 Accel audio system on a Mac Pro
synchronized with a Mac PowerBook running Pro Tools LE to display
QuickTime HD video using the new Video Satellite LE software option.
A Pro Tools HD locked up with an Avid Media Composer Nitris DX system
using the new Video Satellite software option to view Avid HD or SD
video in sync with the Pro Tools session using a separate Windows-based
computer. The proprietary ethernet protocol achieves faster lock than
9-pin connections for faster lockup, scubbing and shuttling.
There are also some elegant new features of the Pro Tools version 8
software related to the operation of the D-Control and D-Command ICON
consoles that will be shown.
There are a number of other new features that will be addressed. New
interface, plug-ins, virtual instruments, scoring, track compositing,
midi features, editing & mixing capabilities, ease of use and
enhanced performance.
BONUS
Finally, a preview will be offered by AES Toronto of the video
interview footage shot at the Toronto AES Seminar 2008. Entitled The Roots of Our Toronto Sound:
Recollections and Reflections on the 40th Anniversary of the Toronto
Section of the Audio Engineering Society, the DVD features
interviews with the 28 panelists and guests of the seminar.

John "Beetle" Bailey got his start
in the
mid-seventies in New Hamburg, ON, where he started experimenting with a
tape recorder to get out of violin lessons. Flash forward to 1994 and
he became the head engineer at Lydian Sound, where he worked on
projects that won JUNO Awards, and earned gold and platinum awards.
In 2001, Bailey decided to go
freelance.
He bought the former Arnyard Studios in 2006, renamed it "The Drive
Shed", and was awarded the "Recording Engineer Of The Year" Juno for
his work on "Rain" performed by Molly Johnson, and "The Sisters Of
Mercy" performed by Serena Ryder. John has also received a 2008
nomination for his work on "Something In The Air Between Us" performed
by Sophie Milman, and "I'm On Fire" performed by Kevin Breit &
Harry Manx.
Joining John for the presentation
will be
Vic Florencia (Juno winner for Estero), Jeremy Darby, and Denis Tougas
(Juno winner for Amanda Marshall).
The Drive Shed (formerly Arnyard
Studios)
is a tracking studio with an expansive live room with three large
windows which allow sunlight to stream in all day long. A good-sized
Iso-Booth can accommodate the piano, allowing tracking sessions to have
'drums-on-the-floor'. The control room features a DigiDesign ICON 32
fader console.

Jim Andrerson asked us to
let
members know that there is a position for a DIGITAL AUDIO NETWORKING
ENGINEER available at WNYC.
