Ultra Mk3 making trackpad cursor jerky

Hi All UltraLiteMk3 on a MacBookPro5,1 running 10.6.8. Has worked fine before, but haven't used the interface with the laptop recently. Had a long talk with helpful MOTU tech fellow this afternoon. He put me through many tweaks, reloads and resets all to no avail. Here's the symptom that seems the m...

Re: BIAS closed

I agree it is too bad they're out of business, but I continue to use Peak - it didn't stop working because the company did... I recently upgraded to Peak Pro 7 after using the previous version for years and years.

recording audio from VIs

I can't believe I've forgotten how to do this! Sorry to bother y'all, but I want to record the output of a soft synth, in this case Absynth, as I play the keyboard, onto an audio track ... tried using a send to a bus to bus input audio track but it doesn't work with VIs apparently. Thanks for any he...

Re: DP: Varispeed Pitch Shifting

I think varispeed is indeed useful; but I use SoundHack for the real deal. Don't make fun of music that's not your style... all tools are useful to someone and I appreciate Umbrella giving it a shot for us all!

Re: The Ultimate DP Training Series DVD?

Sorry to be a negative voice, but I'm really disappointed with the DVD. Bought it last year. Most of the clips are of previous versions of DP, and while the info is certainly similar, for $80 I would like to see a more current version used as demo. All newer features are found in clips in a separate...

Re: Final Cut Studio

My 2 cents... I use DP7 for major music use, FCS (latest version) for all my video, compression and DVD authoring. I teach "sound for media" in US University and switched this semester from Pro Tools to SoundTrack Pro. Main reason: round-tripping is a breeze and STP has many useful and qui...

828MkII and stuttering / SL 10.6.4

Hi Folks My old 828 MkII has begun stuttering it's playback audio... if I turn it off and on, it works again, sometimes for hours. My intuition is either 1) started when I began using Logic9 (had to for employer) or 2) internet audio screws something up. The sound it makes is dah_silence_dah_silence...

828 MK II and surround DVD player

Hi Folks Just installing my new Blue Sky 5.1 monitors and have a question about using my 828 MkII to listen to 5.1 DVDs. I don't think it is possible... I have used DP7 without problem to playback surround files, but what I want to do it attach the 6 RCA outputs of my DVD player to the 828 and liste...

Re: Motu 828II and Soundtrack Pro 3

I just worked through this myself... here's what I discovered: 1) The speaker thing in Apple setup has never worked for me... so I avoid it! 2) I have the Main Outs on the 828 chosen via the MOTU Audio setup app. as my stereo outputs. 3) I have my stereo speakers coming from 828 Main Outs 4) make su...

Re: Bounce 5.1 not working...

Talkin' to myself again... since I must mail off 5.1 video DVDs to a show I'm in, I had to find a way to make work this asap - here's an odd workaround: I took the 6 bounced DP files and imported them in SoundTrack Pro 3 putting each on its own surround track panned hard in appropriate direction and...

Bounce 5.1 not working...

Hi Folks I've spent 8 hours trying to work this one through... I think I've checked all the variables, including following the advice of Ronin at MOTU. Here's what's happening: no matter what I try, after running my 6 DP bounced files through Compressor 3.5's AC3 setting, my DVDs burn as stereo. If ...
