I'm converting all of my MIDI sequences to Mach V for my live gig. I have a V rack with 3 instances of Mach V and 2 of EZ drummer. I noticed today that notes are being dropped in Mach V. For example a snare on 2 and 4 would drop out every other measure. I know it is just Mach V because when I switch...

We'll I bought Mach 5. Unfortunately it arrived the day before our vacation. I had time to install it but no time to test anything. I did take manual to read on flights. Looks like setting up a chunk with v-racks is the way to go. But here's my next question.. I have up to 16 MIDI tracks at a time f...

Thanks for all the info. Here is what I currently have working. I open one large sequence in DP that I have loaded almost 400 chunks into that are all of my individual MIDI songs. I then assign a key command for each song. So for example if someone asks me for Hey 19 I look at my master list and hit...

Thanks, I've used DP in my recording studio for years but I've never used virtual instruments. Is Mach V a good package to buy for this purpose? Will it also do a good job for drums or do I need a specific drum package? The gig I lost was a solid 50% of my income so I'm trying not to spend more than...

For my live gig I have about 400 MIDI files that I have sequenced in dp and send out to various drum machines and modules. Is it possible to convert all of those to trigger internal sounds (software samplers, synths, etc)? I know I will need a faster computer than what I am currently using but I jus...

I'd buy a 120 or 240 GB SSD and install the latest OS and DP on it, maintaining your current OS drive as a backup. You can always start from it for legacy projects. DP8.04 has been extremely solid for me in 64 bit mode under 10.8.3. Waves 9 is perfect with DP8; no more iLok with the Waves cloud aut...

I need to upgrade my system but I need some advice. In what order should I upgrade? Here is my current setup: 2X2.4G Quad core Xeon Mac pro OS 10.6.8 DP 7.24 Waves 8.0 still using ilock Autotune 7.0.8 My main concern is upgrading the OS, DP, and Waves and still having all of my current projects func...

Is there a way to bounce all files to disk for mixing in another platform without tediously going through each tack and bouncing one at a time? I have a large project (each of the 10 songs has a minimum of 30 tracks with tons of punch-ins) and it is going to be mixed at another studio that uses prot...

Just got my new mac and had to update to the 424 pci-e card. Mac manual says slots 1 and 2 are x16 pci-e 2.0 and slots 3 and 4 are x4. Which slot do I install the new card in?

Thanks

I currently have an old dual processor G5 machine that I need to update. I run a commercial studio and routinely run 24 to 36 tracks all day long. I do all my mixing through 2 Tascam DM 4800 consoles. I use the EQ and compression and fx in the consoles most of the time so I rarely stress my current ...

The old machine is a dual processor G5. It is fully capable of running 10.4.x but the problem is that I have been lucky enough to be busy in the studio and I don't want to update and then find that something isn't working right. My current system is insanely stable. I run 20 to 50 24 bit audio track...

yes,
The drives I have that work on my mac book pro OS 10.5.8 aren't recognized on my studio computer.

How do I format a hard drive so my studio computer (system 3.5) and my laptop (system 5. can both read it? I'm planning on updating the studio computer whenever a new mac pro comes out and I'd like to be able to transfer projects easily.

Thanks

I agree with Brad. I have a DM4800 and 2 2408's It works great with DP. I also bought an extra tdif card (don't buy the adat card I had 2 and couldn't get either of them to sync with DP). I have the 3 tdif I/O's that come with the board hooked into my first 2408 and the Adat and the new tdif card in...

I looked on their website and it says it needs 10.3.9 for Pro and the RT version.
Maybe you have an older version.

Thanks
