Re: Revisiting Dither

I LOVE Worall's videos! Agreed. There is a difference between dithered/undithered audio at 24 bits (you can clearly see it way down in the meter in a null test), but we can not hear the tiny difference , so for all practical purposes, one could simply not do it and no one could ever tell by just lis...

Re: Revisiting Dither

Hi, Phil. According to Magic D (and I corroborated this myself with tests in DP 9.52), you can just leave the Dither in the Audio menu always on and forget about it. It ONLY applies dither when merging, freezing, or processing audio files offline. It does not apply when we bounce files via the BTD c...

Re: DP MP3 creation vs iTunes.

Hm. Just wondering if I should take the 320k mp3s I already made and make 256 instead. Or is that a waste of time? Will customers who get the 320 be able to play it on anything they have? When in doubt, I REALLY recommend doing a null test between the bounced 32bFP wav file against the different ap...

Re: Mouse problems with DP 11.22

It sounds to me as if you accidentally invoked a DP editing mode. Tap letter a on your keyboard twice. Does that change anything?

There's a way to join stereo parameters... I think you must press Option (or is it control?) as you adjust them, and some parameters will be linked on both sides.

Re: No MONO outs appearing in DP11 with virtual instruments?

Hope someone here might be able to help me out (with kind thanks in any case). I'm having an issue when I use virtual instruments (Spectrasonics, Spitfire Audio, UVI, etc) and when I click the OUT selection, only stereo outs appear (and buses), but no mono selections appear at all. This means even ...

Re: Synchronisation

FMigulez, It works 95% ! Thanks ! I was able to setup IAC in DP and Finale. Now the problem I have is this one. When I start DP, Finale starts at the tempo of DP, that's good. When I stop DP, Finale stops and that's good too. But when I start again DP at measure 1, Finale goes at the beginning of t...

Re: Synchronisation

I would like YES to have DP as a master and Finale as a slave. I like the orchestration in Finale with Note Performer and the dynamics are very natural much easier than editing MIDI CC1 in DP. You showed me the way to do that with pictures and thank you. Just that I cannot see IAC Driver in Finale....

Re: Synchronisation

You have not told us what you want to accomplish. What is it? Is Finale the Master or Slave? FM guessed that Finale is the Slave. I use Finale as the Master and DP the Slave. I totally assumed DP was the master :) Doing it the other way around sounds interesting, though... like something I'd wanna ...

Re: Grouping V-Rack Instruments - aux sends?

It's easy to assign the outs for a bunch of channels with Option-A, but not so much for assigning buses. You can drag-copy the bus assignments from one to the other directly on the mixer, albeit one by one. This copies everything, the assignment as well as the bus parameters like send volume, send p...

Re: Synchronisation

Ha! I figured out how. James now allows us to include pics directly here...

You can ignore the very last comment at the bottom of the doc. And you need to input whatever is relevant for your project in the SMPTE Start Frame (that's the one I use in my template).

Re: Synchronisation

Yes, you can. The other day I synced Finale to DP as a master, older versions. I did create a quick text doc to remind me how to do it next time. I wonder if I could just upload the document here. It has a few key pics... Can I upload pics here? I don' t seem to be able to access my old pics account...

Re: Cool YouTube Video... using Dynamic EQ and Sidechain to make "space" for vocal

I found a couple of Sound On Sound articles … perhaps one of them was the article he remembers? “Cubase: DIY Vocal Rider” June 2010, and “Ducking At Mixdown” May2009 … both aimed at Cubase users. I made some effort with these but ended up leaving it for now… ( : The Kirchhoff EQ looks capable… I’ll...

Re: Cool YouTube Video... using Dynamic EQ and Sidechain to make "space" for vocal

Hi, Maxxy. To do the "inverted" compressor trick, you need a Linear Phase EQ in the mentioned chain, IIRC. I haven't don't it for years, so the details are fuzzy. But it was fun! :) I'll look for the article and my notes tonight when I get back to the studio and post a link or summary here.

Re: Move multiple Audio Tracks closer together to a section

Sorry for not being clear. All the tracks are spread out across sections A, B, and C. I just need to move some tracks from say Section B closer A. I can select individual tracks and nudge toward section A, but was looking for something easier. You can select a bunch of tracks and use a command call...
