Broadway Big Band Dilemma Resolved
Alright, I got it all worked out. The clues were kind of in the manual - but only if you read it in the right order and made a few assumptions along the way.
Here is to get it working (thanks to kaver for helping me out):
1) If you didn’t already know (I didn’t) there are […]
Broadway Big Band Dilemma
I have spent the last 2 days trying to get Broadway Big Band from fable sounds to work.
Needless to say, I am having a tough go of it.
I am trying to get it to work with Digital Performer 5 in rewire mode. As far as I can tell there is no AU support for 5. […]
First Call Horns and OS 10.5 Leopard Kontakt Update
I am trying to install the update to first call horns and I cannot get it to show up in Digital Performer.
For OS 10.5 you need update your kontakt player to version 2 if you are like me and coming from OS 10.2.something (also known as the dark ages).
I found this seemingly helpful link […]
Digital Performer 5 Configure CoreAudio Driver
This is the first issue I had when installing Digital Performer 5.
The install was easy and it looks like the install disk has some good tutorials on it.

Creating The Perfect Demo: Pt. 1
My partner in sound quit a few weeks ago which left with the arduous task of trying to replace him. He was very talented at so many things and a pleasure to work with for so many years but it was back to the drawing board as far as trying to fill his shoes.
Since I […]
Desconstructing Golden Tee
This is a book that was written a few years ago for the release of Golden Tee Live but it is a pretty unique book so I wanted to share it here.
It covers all aspects of what it took to bring the game to life , from programming to art to sound and even gets […]
Silver Strike Bowling Sound Design
Silver Strike Bowling has been a very strong product for Incredible Technologies. Players seem to like the simplicity of it and after 3 years or so, are still engaged by it as we have done multiple updates. The game features what I have dubbed "Sports Rock". I didn’t create the genre but I think I […]
