Yes, if that would be possible... I know this probably means a lot
more effort (and thus time) on your side, so I don't know how
feasible it is, but personally I have the feeling that the LUG
becomes rather unreadable at the moment.
Then there's also the problem that Sascha notes -- that many
completely crappy threads are, strictly speaking, ON topic, like all
the "when will 4.7 be there" posts and such. Maybe it's true that
these threads waste even more bandwidth than the truly OT ones. I
wouldn't know how to deal with this either...
Personally I still believe that forcing every LUGger to subscribe to
the OT list would be the best solution...

I don't know if you should just move stuff or what Joeri, but I'm
beginning to think that's the best idea. At least then we can let an OT
digest sit until we have time to read it, and scan the main list for
info or questions we may be able to help with, and be less likely to
miss something "important." It's very frustrating to have the mix
we've
had lately, and simply putting OT in the subject line deosn't seem to
tip people off that IF they see to do THAT, the message should be SENT
to the OT list. Damn! I dunno if it's brain damage or what, but for
Logic users, there sure seems to be a sudden plethora of illogical
assholes, flamers and political junkies invading an otherwise usually
sane forum. Anyway, my $.02 is yeah, move the crap outa the main
list... <sigh>

I mentioned something to this effect in the last reply I made to
someone, and a request to at least take the BS to the OT list. The
traffic didn't change a bit and I KNOW I'm missing some things I'm
interested in by scanning through all the garbage quickly, since there
are so MANY digest every day as so MUCH off topic bullshit. Joeri, no
offense but you're pretty quick to let us "old timers" know when
we've
left out the proper acronym from the subject line, and I think we'd all
be better served by eliminating the bullshit and fuck what's in the
subject line as long as it relates to using Logic Audio. This is
getting WAY out of control.

Hi,
I appreciate all the feedback I'm getting and there are many different
opinions. Either I'll have to ban all OT from the LUG, or push all problem
threads into a direction. Both will need a lot of time and effort.

Hi,
I've found a way that I can put more time in the LUG: as some of you might
know: all Emagic lists which I administrate have the following
"protection"
system: it's a unmoderated list, except for the fact that all new members
are
automatically moderated until I set them in unmoderated mode. This takes a
lot
of my time, but it's a "waterproof" system to guarantee there's no
spam on the
list etc. I've put the Sounddiver and TDM list in full unmoderated mode
since
those lists mostly don't receive spam anyway (not enough members for
spammers
to be worth the effort of subscribing). I'll use the time that I put in
those
lists, in the LUG from now on. That should (hopefully!) make a difference.
(I'll still keep an eye on the other lists of course!)
Bye,
Joeri

Yes that is the best idea, and also if the OT list gets busy- perhaps we
could have a "Digest " option as well. I have the LUG in digest,
or it would
be too much to errrr "digest". :-)
I think you're doing a great job Joeri- ask everyone's opinion, then make up
YOUR mind, I for one, trust your judgement in matters of list management.

Every list has a digest setting. It's up to you to set your account in the
mode
you prefer.

Doing my best, although I know it's often not good enough... sometimes I
make
mistakes and people come up with better approaches to problems.
I'd love to subscribe everyone to the OT list as it'd then be very easy on
the
LUG: no OT messages. On the other hand, the transaction will take a lot of
time
and effort + in the beginning there will be a lot of extra work. Right now I
don't have that extra time that's needed. So right now I'll try to find
another
way, but eventually, subscribing everyone to this list is the solution imo.
Bye,
Joeri

Don't take offense to this but I don't completely agree with this. I use
Outlook for mails from this list. I like to have differnt folders for Gen,
OT, etc. So I can then sift through the OT's when time is more permitting.
So when things aren't labeled OT they go into another folder and I have to
go through every e-mail. This isn't a problem for people who get the digest.
But that has got to be an even bigger pain to have to scroll through a lot
of huge OT with tons of qoutes and comments.
If everybody was subscribed to the OT list atleast it could be sorted
better or read at convenience. Or maybe not. As already mentioned most of
the recent problems have been with kinda "on topic" discussions.
So is there
a solution? Will this thread become bigger than any of the problematic
threads of recent? --Roger

No offense taken, and point taken, Roger. I forgot some people use the
acronyms
for sorting purposes, and it really screws you up when stuff doesn't have
one.
And Joeri, you're doing a fine job and I didn't mean to imply otherwise,
it's a
fairly old problem, and with the list growth, I suppose that's what's made
it "new"
and so unmanageable lately. Anyway, your idea of splitting your time to keep
a
closer eye on the LUG seems like a good one, and hopefully one that won't
put a
crimp in your style. The fact that you do this for all of us goes way
unappreciated IMO, and my friend, if you're ever in Colorado, I insist on
buying
you the biggest steak or veggie burger (if that's your thing) you've ever
seen. ;)
Last thing, maybe a note to the main list informing people that there IS an
OT list
(some still don't seem to realize it and it is in a different location than
the
main list on the Yahoo server), and a reminder that if one feels the subject
is OT,
it should be in the OT list in the first go 'round, and NOT the main list.
Thanks
again for your hard work, Joeri.

...z

Ahw, come on! We are your FRIENDS Joeri! I mean, "private life"
"having friends, a social circle, and all that", right? Isn't that
the same as "LUG"? So where's the problem...? And do you realise
how much love and affection and appreciation you get through all the
Good Work you do here? Doesn't _that_ count then? See, it isn't
that bad at all, now, is it...?

Haha, good try! :) Well, one thing is for sure: the LUG got me in contact
with
people I would otherwise never have met. So indeed it's part of the
"social
circle", but let's be honest: it's not "da real thang". :-) I
prefer really
going out with friends and going for a drink e.g. (for those of you who
didn't

Where is Colorado again? ;-) Actually, I might be visiting the States this
summer (not sure yet though, depends on time and money) and it'd be very
nice to
meet up with some LUGgers.

Well, I'll more and more promote the OT list: every time I feel a Way OT
thread

Joeri,
Let me also thank you sincerely for your work on LUG; it is much
appreciated.
With regard to the general topics, such as :-
When is..........?
Mac vs. PC.....?
What monitors, headphones etc. ?
are entirely OT. Could you move them all to the OT List?
Discussions of techniques of using LAW or LAM are the reason that I use the
list. The tips are worth their weight in gold, especially anything by
Hendrik, Sascha et al.
Perhaps, for a period of, say, a week, you could bounce mails which do NOT
use the headings protocol, which quote excessively and inappropriately,
which show an intolerant attitude, and which add nothing to the list. You
could see how the quality and quantity of posts is affected.
best wishes to all LUGgers

Hi,
After installing DirectX8 on my Win98se partition, Logic didn't start up
anymore.
I've tried to remove it by editing the registry, using DirectX removal
programs (3 of them), reinstalling DirectX 7.0, 6.0 and 5.0.... nothing
helped. For some people DirectX 8.0 works, for some it doesn't. Some can
uninstall it correctly on their system, some can't. All I can now do is
format my harddisk. So, my tip to everyone: do NOT install DirectX
8.0!!!
Over and out... gonna format now,

Hi !
If you're interested. I have started a session in Emagic Pro
studio center [http://www.emagicstudios.com] called 'Audio Round-Table'
It will kick off this wednesday [Mar 28] at 8pm. [just look for it in
the Emagic Pro public sessions list ]
> A discussion forum [chat] for Audio Pros will be held in this session
on Wednesdays (at 8PM [pst]
> (thursday,0400 GMT) initially, until it can be extended further for
other time-zones).The purpose will be to
> exchange experience on anything in the audio realm which has been of
concern to Pro users during the week. If
> you're having a 'learning curve' kinda day, let's help each other out
:) Or just come and 'chew-the-fat'
> [thanks to RedSky for suggesting this forum]
I know that every 'Pro' user has a unique studio setup, and often
approaches the way they work with Logic Audio, ProTools etc. in quite a
different manner. So often one user may have valuable info and
experience to pass on to their peers, and vice-versa, when needed. It's
good to get in a forum where people have similar expeience levels, so
that they don't have to sweat the basics too much, and where we can all
drop in when we hit a snag in production, and can find someone to confer
with.
At first the session will be only scheduled for the wed 8pm [PST] slot,
to test the waters, but I hope there can be a rolling agenda with
sesions on a bi-weekly basis and covering several time-zones. Also, I
would like to see the session used as a drop-in , so it will be known
that anyone logged in there is prepared to chat about nerdy stuff, or
swap war-stories, a litttle :)
if you feel you are interested but the time-slot prohibits you from
joining, just drop me a line and I'll keep you informed of any new
sessions we schedule that will suit.
Also, when this takes off, we will be looking for volunteers to moderate
sessions in other time-slots.
Lets make this a lively discussion forum for Audio Pro's in general .

You can get the info here:
http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/mill_g450/pci.cfm
So....how about one of you AGP G450 Dual-Head owners picking up about
3 of these PCI versions and let me know if Logic(LAWP)can run with 8
monitors concurrently? Probably no were near enough bandwidth and
other issues, even with a Hammerfall.
But it's nice to dream!!!
BTW, does anyone know the maximum number of graphics ports supported
by Windows (98,Me,W2K)? I thought I read somewhere that it was 8
but, I can't find any info now.

Uh-oh,
I'm afraid that this answer/thread could become a bit longer... maybe we

Well, that's a common minor scale with some kinda obvious chromatic note
(the F#).
To clear a very basic thing right from the start, in western music's 7 tone
scales there's a common practise of not using ANY note-letter twice with the
exception of chromatics (there are some further exceptions but we might not
want to deal with them right now). It's also that usually EACH note-letter
in a kinda *full* 7-note scale is used once.
The above mentioned scale would originally dericve from some minor scale,
for a start let's say natural minor, that one would look like this:
C D Eb F G Ab Bb C (as you see, each letter is only used once).
The derivative pentatonic scale would then be:
C Eb F G Bb C
and the additional chromatic note would make it look like:
C Eb F F# (or Gb, just as you like, usually depending on scoring reasons) G
Bb C
You might complain that the D is missing here, but that's just not part of
the pentatonic scale
Btw (and that might be important to know before continuing this discussion)
there's a strong reason for only using each note-letter once.
Usually in analysis scales are explained/analysed stepwise, meaning that
EACH letter becomes an appropriate number. To demonstrate, a plain C major
scale woul look like that:
C - 1
D - 2
E - 3+ (as it's a major third, some people prefer 3j, but I prefer the +
sign for scale analysis)
F - 4
G - 5
A - 6
B - 7+ (+ for a major seventh this time)
Having said that, an A allways is some kinda 6th degree on any C scale, no
matter if it's major or minor, so the A# just doesn't meet the theory in
your above mentioned scale. I know that this is caused by Logic as Logic
allways gives the # first. But anyways I wanted to have the most obvious
things in terms of notenames cleared up before we continue with any
discussion
Now, the reason that this scale often fits your needs when improvising over
the above mentioned stuff might be that all of those styles (especially rock
and funk) prefer minor keys as their roots and the above mentioned
pentatonic scale is like an "allrounder" to fit these kinda
chords.

The "goodness" of scales allways depends on the root chord and the
amount of
chord progressions.
(Sidenote: IMO it depends way more on the improviser to make smart use of
phrasing, but well, that issue can't be covered theoretically too easily).
But ok, let's assume you had a lot of stuff where your minor scale allready
is doing a fine job.
For a start you could just try to "complete" the scale, that is
using like a
full minor scale over your loops.
Most likely a so-called "dorian" minor scale (we might discuss the
meaning
of that later on...) would do a good job for this.
That one over a C root would look like this:
C D Eb F G A Bb C
Now you might still add the F# as a chromatic passing note, but there's some
other interesting chromatic passing notes (vastely arranged in order of
"average" appearance): B, C#, E and G#
So the complete thing could look like:
C (C#) D Eb (E) F (F#) G (G#) A Bb (B) C
One very important thing is that for a start most likely you shouldn't use
those chromatic passing notes as target notes for your lines as they allways
cause some "need" to be resolved into one of their neigbour notes
for ears
trained to listen to western music. It's especially true for the E as that
one would be the major third over a minor chord, most likely the most
clashing note in harmonic theory.
With the above mentioned scale that might also be true for the A, but that's
more up to your phrasing-wise interpretation of it.
As soon as you go the feeling that the A might not fit at all (not even as a
passing note when playing the scale without any chromatics) you might try
using an Ab, which would give you a C natural minor scale.
Hrm, I think this answer could go outta hand, I don't even know if you have
the slightest clue what I'm talking about... I should finish for now and
wait for your reactions...
> ps, I have no formal musical education. ok maybe thats the problem?
Just because of that.
Honestly, there's some books which explain chord-scale relationsships, you
should get one of those.
I don't know any proper ones that are internationally published, but I seem
to remember a reasonable one of Jerry Coker (piano based I think, personally
I'm a guitar player).
Oh, eventually a good idea comes to my mind... I think I will be hanging
around on the RocketNetwork servers this evening/night (CET that is), so you
could just download the latest RocketControl and join, might be a nice thing
to clear some of these things online (my current username up there is
SaschaBeta, you could do a search or mail me before). Of course everybody
else might join as well, maybe we could have an interesting discussion.
So far,
Sascha
