12:34:26	 From Glenn Workman : If you need to ask a question: you can open the Participants panel and click the Raise hand button. Matt or I will send a request to unmute your mic to ask your question when there is a break in the action.
12:35:43	 From Glenn Workman : Also - typically turn phantom power off before unplugging the mic. Also good to mute the channel first in the software if you can.
12:37:53	 From Eric Witt : How do preamps for mics help?
12:39:37	 From Glenn Workman : Eric: They adjust the input gain of a microphone to get it to the needed electrical level for input. Mic level and line level have different “standard” voltages. Much like a record player, which needs a preamp to boost the signal up to the right level, a mic would need the same.
12:42:29	 From Glenn Workman : An unbalanced cable is fine for short cable runs, say under 20 feet. An unbalanced cable can pick up radio frequency (RF) energy and you will hear it in your signal path. A balanced cable helps prevent picking up RF.
12:44:32	 From Glenn Workman : Hi-Z or Low-Z refer to the overall impedance (Ohm) of a signal.
12:45:20	 From Glenn Workman : (resistance)
12:46:33	 From Glenn Workman : The little icon next to the track name indicates whether a track is mono or stereo. If you see the single waveform its mono, 2 waveforms then its stereo.
12:47:20	 From Eric Witt : Thanks Glenn.
12:50:08	 From Glenn Workman : Stationery pad is a Mac feature. I don’t know of there is a PC equivalent.
12:50:45	 From Glenn Workman : It works with any file on a Mac, choose Get Info (Command-I) to get to that screen.
12:52:09	 From John Flaherty : Love it!
12:52:24	 From Glenn Workman : Even though there was no Audio in the template, the new version will have its OWN audio files folder in the new location, rather than storing audio in template’s audio folder.
12:53:00	 From Glenn Workman : Save As is what lets that happen - if you check the Duplicate Audio in the Save dialog.
12:56:17	 From Glenn Workman : I think Matt hit the return key an extra time after entering the track names, which placed the drums (which were highlighted in Workstation) into the slot where piano was.
12:58:11	 From Glenn Workman : Juno-106 was a Roland synth from the early/mid 80s.
13:00:45	 From Glenn Workman : Always a great idea to name tracks BEFORE you record. The audio files inherit the name of the track they record on. In this case audio files Vox 1, Vox 2 etc. would be created when record is enabled. Otherwise all files would have generic names of Audio 1, Audio 2, etc.
13:02:18	 From Glenn Workman : Each new take on the same audio track has a number added and incremented after each record. Guitar 1, Guitar 1-2, Guitar 1-3, Guitar 1-4 for example.
13:06:04	 From Glenn Workman : Using the option (or alt key) on many functions in Performer Lite can give you a variation. Option-drag track height like Matt just did resizes all tracks, rather than just the one. Buttons on the mixer like Mute, Record, Solo have a different behavior. Option-clicking any of those selects that function ONLY on the track you clicked - turning it off on all other tracks. The command key (Mac) turns that function on for every track EXCEPT the one you click on. on.
13:07:11	 From Glenn Workman : AU (Audio Unit) is Apple’s native format.

13:09:11	 From Glenn Workman : Audio tracks show the level in decibels (dB). If the fader is at 0dB you are not boosting or cutting the level. MIDI tracks show level as a data range from a low of 0 to a maximum of 127.
13:11:13	 From Glenn Workman : You can click and drag across many functions in the Mixer to turn on/off a function on a range of tracks. This works for Solo, Mute, Record, Automation (the green arrow) Arm automation (the little red button in the Auto section).
13:11:48	 From Glenn Workman : Dragging also works for these functions in the Sequence Editor window.
13:13:44	 From Glenn Workman : HUI - Human User Interface (Avid and Mackie protocol) that came out prior to Mackie Control which supports more functions.
13:14:52	 From Glenn Workman : There are software programs that can turn an iPhone, iPad, or other tablet/phone into a control surface that sends Mackie Control and OSC control. Some of these little utilities are cheap or free.
13:17:48	 From Nelson Mandrell : Glenn,
13:18:11	 From Glenn Workman : Using the shape of a sine, triangle, or square, is great for creating automation for stereo panning, tremolo, etc.
13:18:16	 From Glenn Workman : Nelson: Yes?
13:19:03	 From Glenn Workman : Left is high - Right is low in the graphic here.
13:19:39	 From Nelson Mandrell : Do you know if an old Mackie HUI would support the midi learn?
13:20:56	 From Glenn Workman : If you mean the original HUI control surface, it might. My recollection was it had a MIDI mode, where it didn’t send the HUI commands, but regular MIDI controls when in that mode. I’d have to check. I was one of the original tester for the HUI, but its been over 20 years :)
13:22:20	 From Glenn Workman : Nelson: Some of the binary data that came from the HUI had the same values as other functions in MIDI. So for example moving a volume fader might trigger the same note at different velocities as you moved it. Another might send data that MIDI things is Pitch Bend etc.
13:22:43	 From Nelson Mandrell : The HUI has been in the closet for a long time .. just thinking.
13:23:23	 From Glenn Workman : Nelson: Same here, its in the original box somewhere in my garage. I don’t have the desk space to use it at the moment.
