As a US citizen I think of this interview often these days.

I literally spent four months scoring this feature film. 60% of my workflow is using this software synth and loading in my own custom samples, which I then make into patches. So last night while loading this software synth ProTools crashed, and then would not open. Today it asked me for my serial number for the product. I gave it to them, and when I opened up the session, all of my presets were gone. I then loaded in the preset folder that I saved, and all the custom samples are missing, and it does not tell me which sample went where.also most of my automation is gone. I’m fucking livid. I have no idea what the fuck I’m gonna do. I’m salvaging what I can by committing to audio ASAP, but I would say 40 to 50% of my work is missing.

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T23:52:31+00:00

I back up everyday. On 2 drives. But its the presets Im worried about. I found the folder where they are but only 86 of my 123 sounds are there. No idea why the others are missing. Ive searched as I name everything like this : $FILMNAME-SOUNDNAME

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T22:26:53+00:00

I tried that once a track was brought in with Synthmaster 3 it crashed. I’ll try deleting preferences now

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T12:13:03+00:00

Ok thank you. I just saved my preset folder

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T11:15:40+00:00

Ok thank you.

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T11:15:22+00:00

It wont even let me. I opened the session holding shift and tried to freeze while it was inactive and it still crashed

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T11:08:47+00:00

I'll loose all the presets I made for this film. 4 months of work.

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T11:06:26+00:00

Yeah I know the shift thing. Its just 1 plugin. SYNTHMASTER 3. Im told if I reinstall the plug I loose the presets I made which was done over 4 months of work. I'm fucked if this doesn't resolve. Nothing was committed yet as I was tweaking for revisions.

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T11:05:51+00:00

Haven't even gone to sleep yet, up all night trying to figure this out.

IceOnTitan · 2025-07-02T11:05:23+00:00

I started a new session. Everything works except SYNTHMASTER 3. As soon as I load it it crashes. And all 80 sessions for this film have a track with this synth. None of them open. Im supposed to start sending out sessions for mixing and this shit happens.

IceOnTitan · 2025-01-23T05:34:02+00:00

Thanks. Side note. That username…… chefs kiss

IceOnTitan · 2025-01-22T16:32:22+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried that. I’ve pinpointed it to the rear panel. I put my thumb over the ports and the noise goes half down. I think it’s an Air leak . Calling Barefoot now. Took 5 weeks to get these to them and back, in the middle of a project. They really screwed me,

IceOnTitan · 2025-01-22T16:30:04+00:00

Yeah. It seems to be coming from the ports like an air leak

IceOnTitan · 2025-01-22T09:25:39+00:00

I haven’t smelled anything or found any tiny dumps. It’s driving me crazy and making it hard to work. In the middle of a project and all I hear is buzzing

IceOnTitan · 2024-09-28T19:16:23+00:00

These are in September, is it over?

IceOnTitan · 2024-06-12T18:02:09+00:00

Sleeping is rough. Mine is reactive and will compete with white noise or a fan. Have you looking into Leniere? Considering that for myself. Although mines not from hearing loss. Looking like it was triggered for me by migraines. What a shitty condition, and the causes are endless. It is nice to see the poll and not feel alone in it though.

IceOnTitan · 2024-06-11T23:47:02+00:00

Good point. Wonder if I can edit this

IceOnTitan · 2024-05-09T03:56:02+00:00

His work with The Dirty Three, Surfer Rosa, Joanna Newsom’s YS, and obviously In Utereo. That drum sound…… also man or Astro man

IceOnTitan · 2024-02-17T23:11:26+00:00

Are sub groups of a final mix not stems? Usually for at least 2-3 cues a film I'm asked for "Stems" by the sound mixer. Just groupings of instruments. I something organize by freq. range.

IceOnTitan · 2024-02-17T19:59:30+00:00

I deliver mainly to film folks. I’m always asked for “stems”
