Re: CUEMIX iOS APP AND ULTRALITE MK5

The IP ADDRESS baffled me too as I thought for sure it would connect remotely given that it displayed the IP.

Oh well. Bummer.

CUEMIX iOS APP AND ULTRALITE MK5

I just received my UltraLite mk5 today. I have it connected to my MacBook Pro and will use it to mix backing tracks from DP. I downloaded the iOS CueMix 5 on my iPad Pro ... can the iPad Pro remotely control the Ultralite connected to my MacBook Pro? Or is it available on iOS just for the purposes o...

ADR streamer/punch question

I'm doing an ADR session next week. I have my video file and set a marker with a 3 second streamer leading to a punch where the ADR line will start. Is it common practice to also set an "out" point? As in, "these lines need to end by this point". Or does one just mark where the s...

SPACE BAR PUTS DP IN "FREEZE"

I just upgraded to the latest DP. I'm using it to construct some backing tracks. When I hit the space bar to STOP playback, the stop button icon will look like its indefinitely pressed until I make a mouse click. No other commands will work. If I type in a command while its in this state and then cl...

Re: External storage for new Mac Mini M1

@Mike

This seems like it has fast transfer speeds and the ability for growth with 8 total slots.

Re: External storage for new Mac Mini M1

I'm adjusting to the new way of thinking that I don't need 4 drives (1 for sessions, 1 for VI's, etc etc).


I'm guessing around 4 TB might be good to hold my VI libraries and sessions? But obviously I'd want to get a HUGE backup drive to backup all of it in case of disaster.

Re: External storage for new Mac Mini M1

It’s not TB3. It’s USB 3.1 “ Up to 1550MB/s sustained performance ” A true TB3 drive containing a single NVMe 3 x4 blade will be rated 2800 or so. Because of the 4 lane limitation of TB3, multiple NVM3 3 x4 blades in a single RAID0 enclosure will combine capacity but will be a bit slower. RAID math...

Re: External storage for new Mac Mini M1

Not all so-called TB3 external drives are the same. Look at the speed. If not rated 2800 or faster, they’re USB 3.1. True TB3 externals won’t be as fast as the internal storage on an M1, iMac Pro or other newer Mac that uses multiple SSDs in a Raid0 configuration but it’s more than fast enough. USB...

Re: Upgrading My 2008 Mac Pro

I currently have (2) 2408's connected via PCIe to my 2008 Mac Pro. I emailed MOTU and asked about the 24i vs 16a and why the big price jump with the 16a. They said it was because the DAC is that much better on the 16a. It looks like the dynamic range on the 16a is better as well. I'm wondering if an...

Re: MIDI crashes and hiccups

Excellent! Logic is great. I use it too. For me, DP fits my style and workflow a little better. I'm not experiencing the issues that you mention. No freezes or hangs. Just for the record, in case folks come upon this thread... What version of DP were you running? Are you running Yosemite on a 3,1 M...

External storage for new Mac Mini M1

I'm gonna be trying out this new Mac Mini M1 and would love some suggestions regarding storage. I have SSD drives in my Mac Pro bays. I'm debating on using those and just getting some sort of dock/chassis and putting the drives in there and connecting that to my Mac Mini ... OR ... getting new drive...

Re: MIDI crashes and hiccups

We need more info to diagnose this one. Looks like you are a long time DP user. Have you recently updated your system or version of DP? Are you still running Yosemite on a 3,1? Give us some specs to help with the problem solving. Thanks so much for the reply! After MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH contemplation...

Re: I have to create fades at least 3 times before it creates them.

My suggestion is that the resolution of your screen in the edit window maybe sit too small and that you may need to zoom in or out in order to select it properly I'll select a clip, then CREATE FADE and hit OK and nothing happens. I'll do it a few more times and finally, it'll apply the fade. I'm n...

I have to create fades at least 3 times before it creates them.

Does anyone know why this happens? With any amount of clips selected or clip intersections highlighted, I'll press my hotkey for CREATE FADES and then press OK. The fades window will close and no fades are created. Press my hotkey again and press OK, and SOME fades will get created. I have to do it ...

MIDI crashes and hiccups

In record mode (on MIDI tracks), after a few seconds of recording, all MIDI messages will stop being received by DP ... I'll let the project continue and after a second or two, I'll see the CPU meters spike and all the notes I was trying to play during the MIDI freeze will sound and then everything ...
