Site Matters
Greetings From Ottoman42a
Aug 3rd
After some cajoling and discussion and pleading the powers at be at Mac OS X Audio have given me a slice of the front page! I welcome this opportunity and do not take the responsibility lightly. What you can expect from me are some interviews I’ve conducted with various audio professionals, teachers and all around interesting people, reviews and maybe some opinion. Again I thank the admins for letting me write here and I look forward to connecting this aural world we all in habit.
I really like to hear back from people. If there is anything you’d like to see or have any requests on interviews or want me to write about a particular topic please message me in the forum. Better yet post a thread about it in the Site Matters Section!
Finally if you’d like to know a little bit more about me and my professional life please check out my website.
Just in Case….

We’re Back!
Mar 4th
I’m happy to report that the forums are now back online. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of one of our members Glenn (KernelG) who spent the better part of 9 hours working on this. It was a massive ordeal that was way beyond our current capabilities. Glenn, we salute you!
The forums are running the newest phpBB software. You should see far fewer spam posts (if at all) along with some other niceties. The site is now on a modern platform that can evolve easily. The look of the site is also in flux. Kevin will hunt down a cool skin in short order. I’m already really exicted about the new tools avaliable to the moderation team.
In recognition of Glenn’s hard work and amazing ethic today, I’m making him a moderator of the site. He not only brings years of web experience, but an impressive pedigree as an electric musician and Logic expert. I hope you’ll welcome him warmly to our community.
***Note: I was asked to reset my password on first login. Kevin was not. Please let me know if you’re unable to get into the site at all. I don’t forse any major issues.
New Forums
Mar 4th
Hi folks,
I’ve opened up two new forums on the site today. The first is one for Sibelius notation program. We’ve had enough notation questions over the years to warrant the forum. It also helps that I’m a long-time Sibelius trainer and can facilitate helping out. Now that Pro Tools has Sibelius capability built-in, this move seems very timely given the number of Pro Tools users we have here at Mac OS X Audio.
I’ve also added a forum for Final Cut Pro. Many of us audio folks need to dabble in video at one time or another. Some of us do more than dabble. It’s always interesting to see just how different an audio person looks at a timeline vs a video person. This forum will be a place for all of us to discuss using Final Cut Pro. As I’ve gained some amazing FCP experience in the last year, I’m going to start as a moderator. Clearly, FCP is a big app and my gut tells me that there are other experts here. If you feel you can help out, please private message me. We’ll start out with the FCP app as the focus, and see how many questions come from the Final Cut Studio before we evaluate any sub forums.
As you can tell, we’re really looking to grow the forums. Got ideas for expansion? We’re all ears!

We’re happy to have them back, with 100% of the data intact. We’ll revamp the look and feel soon.
Thanks for your continued patience!
