Opening a Pro Tools session and encountering the Missing Files dialogue box can be alarming, but there’s no need to panic. This situation can occur if you’ve moved to a different computer, disconnected a hard drive or reorganised your sample library, causing Pro Tools to lose track of where certain files are located.

In the latest edition we share a targeted approach to finding your audio again!

Imagine mixing the world's biggest bands in front of an audience of millions — with no soundcheck. It's all in a day's work for BBC in-house engineers. In the old days, live broadcast wouldn't start until the second or third song in a set, giving the mix engineer the chance to settle down and get comfortable — but these days, with the addition of visuals, the money shot is the band walking on to a huge roar and into the first tune. There's no time to get settled, so it truly is seat-of-the-pants flying!

Kali Audio 's latest three‑way speakers - the Santa Monica SM‑5 - looks at first glance to be very similar to their IN‑5, but despite the apparent similarities there’s considerably more expensive electronic and acoustic engineering integrated within the SM‑5, and therefore it consequently aspires to a significantly higher level of performance.
