Re: Sound Prefs/System Volume control for 838mk3 working.

I'm late to this party, and it's true that the system volume on the keyboard and on the desktop works on my 2008 iMac with a MOTU 828mkII! However, It does NOT work on my Macbook Pro which has a MOTU Ultralite attached. What is the norm, what is the expectation, and is this a user configurable 'feat...

Re: This must be easy... (recording multiple passes)

I didn't ask the question, but I sure did benefit from the reply. I had just laid down a nice bass line and just needed to brainstorm a vocal melody for a bit, creating a new take with each pass. I knew there had to be a way to do this in DP7, but I sure couldn't find it in the manual. I played arou...

Re: DP7 stops responding, two active Icons

Thanks!! I trashed the prefs and that seemed to help remedy the duplicate instances. Sometimes I still get a second instance when I instantiate certain VI's. But it's not launching automatically every time I run the program! I also found out when loading the flaky project into a blank template that ...

DP7 stops responding, two active Icons RESOLVED

I have a problem that occurs when I open a specific project in DP7. This didn't start happening until I installed DP7. A couple of minutes into working on this particular project, DP7 becomes unresponsive and I immediately get the spinning beachball of death. I can press buttons and they 'click down...

Re: Reallly really REALLY hoping DP6 addresses...

I've been using Performer and then Digital Performer since 1988. I LOVE it, and I've been loyal to a fault, in spite of VI latency issues, crashes and occasional lost data. Last weekend, I experienced yet another crash and lost data (AGAIN). I went to the APple Store immediately and picked up Logic ...

I noticed that you have True Pianos. Is that Processor Friendly? Was there a Unicornation discount coupon code when you purchased it?

I didn't think about the Macbook Pro. HOw does that perform? I'm not running DP on my Macbook. The screen is too small and the video output options are limited.

I just upgraded to 2.5GB RAM, and I have an External 400GB FW drive, Does it make a huge difference if I run thee project off of the external drive as opposed to using the internal SATA Drive? I don't know how much more I can do. I had to get a VST Wrapper to make Trilogy Work. Maybe I should just d...

Time For A New Mac?

Okay, I'm not a heavy duty 'doing this for milk money user', but My iMacG5 is not cuttin' it. I keep getting that Audio System Overload message. My system crashes and my audio is damaged. (dropped samples). It renders my work useless and I have to revert to last saved version. I'm guessing I need a ...

Drive permissions

I've had lots of 'permissions' problems since switching to Leopard! I'm kinda handy in UNIX, so I've been correcting ownerships and permissions and groups non-stop! I did not have any such problems in Tiger! Leopard is buggy!

My report of utter bliss was premature. It's started to do the same thing again. I hope I can get MOR+TU back on it.

:D Problem Solved!! When the guys at Spectrasonics asked me to do a re-install of DP, I did not uninstall first. He emailed me again and specified that I should do an uninstall first. After that, Trilogy loads just fine!! Thanks for your help! Hum! Interesting. I wish that I had a solution for you. ...

The Trilogy sound files are actually in the Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder. On the system drive. And BTW, Trilogy works just fine in GarageBand. Quick question. When you loaded the sound file onto your computer, are you storing the sounds on a different hard drive? I know that you can crea...

Nah. it's on my iMac G5. I saw an Intel version on the Spectrasonics website that was JUST for Intel. It may have been for Stylus RMX, but that's not the issue. I've referred the matter to MOTU as well. Is this on your MacBook? Trilogy and Atmosphere are not yet Universal Binary. There's some sort o...

Spectrasonics Trilogy Won't Load!

I just installed Spectrasonics Trilogy and Stylus RMX. Stylus works perfectly, but Trilogy will not instanitiate. When I try to add it or change to it in an instrument track, I get the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, and DP Freezes. I've contacted Spectrasonics and none of their remedies work. I've fi...
