Peter Schwartz
Peter Schwartz, composer, orchestrator, arranger, pianist, synthesist, and musical director, began piano studies at age 5 and went on to earn a degree in piano performance from Manhattan School of Music. It wasn't long afterward that he began working as a product specialist for New England Digital (Synclavier) and also as a sound programmer and design consultant for Korg. Meanwhile, Peter began to pave his way into the music business, and as a session keyboardist and arranger, eventually amassing a dizzying number of A-list artists to his client roster and discography. Peter has served as musical director for David Bowie, Madonna, The Pet Shop Boys, Enya, and many more. In more recent years, he has endeavored to make his mark as a film score composer, adding Disneytoons, Warner Bros., Fox, and Mattel to his filmography. Peter resides in Los Angeles with his wife Sharon, dogs Boing and Loosie, a bass clarinet and a bassoon.
Rounik, the only reason I didn't talk trashier in my article is because that MPV editor guy emailed me after submitting my first draft, writing, "My dear man, taking a reasonable approach to troubleshooting is much more preferable than the yelling, screaming, and cursing route." After reading it, I stomped around the studio for a while, throwing my hands up in the air for dramatic effect (and aerobic exercise), sulked for about an hour, maybe two, and only then did I wipe away the tears and get to work on the second draft. Man, it's really hard work writing for these guys...
: - )
No, I'm *absolutely* sure, that...
Well, at the very least I'm **pretty darn sure** that Mr. "MPV Editor Guy" (who shall, of course, remain nameless) wasn't entirely unjustified in his recommendations. Even for an editor! Then again, you know what they say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". But in all honestly -- and all kidding aside -- I can't foist that sentiment upon Mr. Editor, as I've gotten to know him quite a bit over the past few months and he's the furthest things from being an irresponsible sorta guy. So call it voodoo, magic, or technological snake oil, but sometimes it's the most effective Rx.
yeah... the pesky MPV Editor guy -always with the same turbulent, trashy, troubleshooting tricks.
Not sure I'd go for the snake oil or acupuncture analogies... but perhaps I see it more like a detox diet - flush out those bugs!
:-)
however i dont have the plist u talk about, only this one
com.apple.RegLogicStudio.plist
is that any good?
cheers
