Re: Other ways to shift editing layers?

i'm with Phil on this one. really miss the "-" in protools - easy elegant switch between 2 layers - I do that all day long -so it does mount up. was excited to hear about right clicking in DP 7 - bit disappointed -I was hoping it would have the edit layers (vol/pan/eq etc ) when u right cl...

Re: DP 8 new editing features?

WTH? when did DP get a demo? does that mean the PDF help files in there? I might try installing on my laptop or my old mac pro first - was soo pleased how easy the transition from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 went - I know I could have gone further - but I just wanted to work! looks like the videos focus on the...

Re: Any quick way to convert ST soundfiles to mono in DP?

or set up the external wave editor as audiofinder.. then apple E spits audio to audiofinder and in audiofinder control L will mix it to mono. simply drag this back* (*shame that MOTU hasnt released the API to audiofinder else u'd have a key to spot it back to DP ( like protools and logic has :) )

Re: DP and some sound design questions... Please advice.

for me the stems are a delivery requirement- if I have used a reverb to make the SFX sound big it is part of the SFX.. I think Kubi is talkin about split tracks and thats sensible.. with DP's awesom BTD dont worry about seperate effects for music dialog etc.. @ shooshie - surely I loose on post coun...

Re: DP and some sound design questions... Please advice.

jus sayin that mixin is different to composing - and if u can remove your ego u might be able to add a new dimension or dynamic - just when u thought your work was complete - another 'perspective' really can improve things. whether it is u 'disowning' your work - or some outside direction - for me w...

Re: DP and some sound design questions... Please advice.

The sound editor always seems to want to mess with the levels and while they can be good at this, I've found that after 40 years of composing and recording that I am just as good in what sounds right - and often that is not what the sound editor thinks. I'll listen to his suggestions but as the com...

Re: DP and some sound design questions... Please advice.

After some additional research, I am leaning towards this SFX library. http://www.sound-ideas.com/sound-effects/series-6000-sound-effects-libraries.html The only thing I don't like is that it's quite expensive for a 16/44.1 library... One can get it in 24/48, but what's the point if the masters are...

Re: DP and some sound design questions... Please advice.

i use audiofinder- in my view stems are wet.. so when I supply stems - ie dialog music and SFX they are 'finished' u add the 3 together and u have your mix... ( music might be "undipped" tho dependin on spec sheet and usually for TV doco type stuff ) u have edited and balanced your dialog....
