Native Instruments discontinuing Authorizations

Did anyone receive emails to the account you have Native Instruments software registered to stating that you would no longer be able to authorize NI or libraries dependent on Ni on any system prior to 10.9? And some products even on 10.9 and after. (I didn’t, even though I have multiple accounts). W...

Re: Hi CPU use with Kontakt 5 and DP7

Check if the instruments loaded have convolution or other effects enabled in Kontakt. You can also experiment with whether disk streaming is on or off. If you are talking about 8 instances of Kontakt with 4 or 5 instruments per instrument that could be quite a bit to ask a 2007 mac, depending on the...

Re: DP on 2 computers...

It is highly debateable whether the "HD" sound is inherently any better than DP native. HD convertors are pretty good quality, but there are comparable convertors available for DP native. Convertors affect the sound quality of new material being recorded, and the sound you are monitoring t...

Re: Hearing Effects While Recording Vocals

Re: New Forum - cool!

The idea is troubling of putting "troubleshooting" in a seperate forum where someone who might in 1 second have an answer for your problem, but will not see it because they are not going to look there until they have a problem of their own. With minimal technical support from MOTU themselv...

Re: for DP/PTools users, PTools for Snow Leopard (finally)

DP 5.13 will run fine on a thee year old machine, right? If you are not willing, or able to upgrade your systems, at some point you and your system will no longer be supported. To do otherwise is to cripple everyone else. Not fair or realistic. . Actually DP 5.13 DAE was severely limited with no im...

Kontakt 2.2.4 with DAE mode DP7 freeze?

This is all regarding using DP in DAE mode- not relevant to the way most people use DP in MAS mode. OS10.4.9, ProTools 7.4 installed G5 It seems like Kontakt 2.02 worked with DP6 and maybe DP7 but after updating to 2.2.4 it works OK in ProTools, but gives the color wheel before it fills in the plugi...

Re: Anyone remember upgrading to Leopard from Tiger?

A safe idea is to make a partition on a different drive than your current drive to be the startup drive for leopard so that if leopard is problematic you still can boot off your unmodified current drive. Upgrading to leopard will probably require new authorizations (kontakt). In the unlikely event y...

Re: Uses For Old G5 in my Studio

Peter P. If you decide to connect the two computers with hardware interfaces (i.e. 828 etc.) you might consider using Logic or mainstage to host your VI's. It has not been scientifically proven, but a lot of people think that logic is more efficient in it's use of cpu power for VI's than any other a...

Re: Pitch Change Plug with MIDI Note On Control?

There are a couple of pitch plugins that allow realtime control of pitch via cc value. The first choice would be if any body know of plugin whose interval of pitch change can be set by a MIDI keyboard. But if no one knows of that, how about an application that will remap a MIDI note number to a spec...

Re: DP7 Audio HW Driver

Also DP3 seemed to be a prett...

Re: DP7 on the G5 and all the VIs on a Macpro????

Other than for VE pro itself you probably don't need the OS to be the same on each system. If you were doing the same thing using audio and MIDI interfaces on each computer connected to each other the OS wouldn't need to be the same, in fact it is frequently done between macs and pcs. But you should...

Re: Pitch to MIDI plugin ?

the latency would probably be worse on any computer plugin, but the tracking possibly could be better than the roland (most likely because the latency of the plugin would allow it more time to make sure what the frequency is). Pickup adjustment is real important for Roland type pitch to MIDI. Differ...
