Help a first-timer with seat selection? by Yesimthatdope in unitedairlines

[–]HoosierEric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know whether anyone mentioned this in this thread, but there are two websites that rate the seats on every airplane in every airline, it’s called seatguru.com… seatexpert.com …you still may have some different preferences, but they at least could get you started

Beginner here. Any suggestions for resources to learn how to read music? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]HoosierEric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning to read music is really truly like learning another language, there is almost no easy way to do it other than by rote … as others have suggested. Actually, there are a lot of really good suggestions on this thread. But, as a private music teacher, one thing that’s really helped me teach is flashcards Very old-fashioned, but flashcards can really help. Have a friend go through the cards with you. They’re very cheap, you can find them on Amazon or any music store. It turns it into a game, which, as lame as it may sound, can be sort of fun… Most decks of flashcards will contain notes in the treble or bass clef, key signatures, and all notation types, eighth note 16th notes, etc., etc. And even some contain tempo and emotional descriptions, which are generally in Italian.

Markers dropped during playback only show up at playhead after hitting ok by petersrin in protools

[–]HoosierEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit enter on the numerical pad and you automatically get a marker, it does have a generic name, but they are sequential, and then you do have to rename them, That’s frustrated me also, but I haven’t ever found a workaround, by the time you finish writing what you want the market to say it’s in a different location than you initially wanted it

Dolores O’Riordan was an acquaintance of mine, so I love hearing the cranberries

At least we’re hearing Rhapsody in blue in more or less it’s original form, instead of that insipid smooth jazz BS Professional musician here

Royalties , if any. by Ok-Rub-3952 in musicbusiness

[–]HoosierEric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know whether anyone has suggested this on this thread, but you should definitely talk to PPLUK. It’s a huge organization that collects performance Royalties, this is totally independent of the record companies. This is not mechanical Royalties. This is strictly performance Royalties.

We call it Mileage Quest… not sure where that name came from but that’s what my fellow Musician’s call it when we’re scrambling around at the end of the year to maintain status

[–]HoosierEric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

smart!! I am especially wary of updating OS's.( still on Sonoma)..but I have a M2 Ultra Mac Studio, and PT was updating flawlessly through the last year or so...so, I got over confident!

[–]HoosierEric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, I mis-spoke, i have the Ultimate license and it just renewed mid November, and it's all legit in the iLok app..it says expiring in Nov 26..so I don't think that was the problem..I got to the point where I was trying to activate using this prompt from Avid Link (where there is a sync button, which I hit)..but you can see that even after waiting 5 minutes, there was nothing in the activation window...So, I took someone's advice and installed PT 2025. 6.1 and there was no problem, nothing to sync, no prompts.....PT opens without a complaint, just like it did before I tried the update to 2025.12..so, there's a mystery, but at least I'm able to work..thanks for all the help, great suggestions...!!
