I think they have done a marvelous job of giving us new ways to do things without taking away our old ways in nearly all cases. In time you'll find much to like about this new interface. Shooshie Yeah, that's great; searching for mini menus is not a big deal, but the reason I am having a problem wi...

Colour picker is there, but the point was that there is a coloured bar there as well acting as background to the track name. On the mixer, if there' a colour picker, it's well hidden. To The Sound , just what is it you think is missing? Hmmm...maybe I am missing something, but what I meant was that...

If you look at the colour preferences, there are a number of options for setting track and waveform colours, and there is a colour menu for each track. The only restriction I'm aware of is that if you choose to have the waveform black, they will all be black, if you choose to use the track colour f...

I am rather dissapointed in the color scheme of the waveforms...the choices are a bit to limited for me and it is just hard to look at. When I am in the sequence editor, I liked having all of the waveforms uniform in color with the top bar of each set to what ever I chose. Now it seems my only choic...

I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

Ha! actually I think they are trying to decide if they should change the name to unicornation or something

i'm sorry if i offended you, i'll save my sense of humour for my other friends. they actually think its pretty funny...to each their own.

carry on.

banish the unicorn. You end up just saying "DP" because the name is so awkward, but if people don't know what it is they just look at you weird. The unnecessarily awkward, dorky nomenclature . I know we can't change the name "Digital Perfomer" (boy, I wish we could) but let's at...

Anybody out here who has (or knows of) someone with the capability to take a 10 year old Ampex 496 2" reel and dump it off track-to-track into DP? I found some material I might want to remix. James, I used an outfit in Jersey last year called Sonicraft http://www.sonicraft.com/ with great resu...

Effective solution: Command + 7. I had reached too far when going for Command + Y (split soundbite). Duh.

are you talking about Option + Y to split at wiper?

or does Command + Y do something just as useful and I've just never tried it?

(-not anywhere near my studio right now )

I am planning to put a bunch of free stuff up on Myspace soon, what is the best quality way to convert to a 128 or 160 mp3? I found that it may not matter what rate you want to use, since yourspace will put a limit on the file size. If your track is too long, you will have to lower the rate anyhow....

I use a Clavinet. Plug it into my guitar FX pedals and a guitar amp.

I also use a guitar - very convincing.

In almost every other respect, I'm using the desk just as you are.

So how are you getting into the Computer? 24io?

I've been using the Onyx 1640 with firewire card for a year and a half and I think it's great. I previously used a Tascam DM-24 and MOTU 2408. I pretty much only use the Onyx for the 16 pres, the stereo return, and talkback. I haven't even heard the EQ yet (probably never will unless I start using i...
