I was going to say that this sounds like the work of Carmen San Diego! But, it looks like you got it sorted...

Yea even the purge command is not really necessary macOS does all that automatically. But hey whatever helps you sleep at night I've noticed that the RAM is not returned immediately when just closing out say, Safari. Safari runs several processes and they don't all shut down immediately. It can tak...

You're going to have to determine per track where the freeze would happen though right? Plus I'm not talking about freezing. Bounce to disk has had the ability to bounce all at once to separate tracks offline since v10. To me that's the most elegant solution, make another Sequence Chunk and work wi...

Pro Tools also has a very simple feature that caused me to make the switch. It's called "Freeze up to this insert." You select the virtual instrument insert in a track, and right click, to get this. It bounces your instrument and MIDI to audio, but only to the point of the instrument, so ...

Not picking on MOTU -- there are many worse manuals out there. Finale, Logic and Dorico spring to mind. The old Emagic Logic manuals used to be spattered with random German words and phrases. Apple Logic manuals are actually an improvement! :lol: I perused the new DP11 manuals and while I didn't fi...

Unfortunately, MIDI CC is often an unacceptable substitute. It only has a range of 128 values and is steppy--i.e., easily heard by the listener if the values need to be swept. Direct parameter automation is the better method, giving well over a million discrete values. It would take quite the golden...

Yep, like I said, thank goodness it's a PDF! Nothing worse than clicking on "manual", "?", or "Help" in a plug-in, and it launching your default browser in order to display an HTML-only "manual" or a video-only "manual". Goodbye session! Now a half ...

Loops is to Music Composition as Paint-by-Numbers is to Painting. <ducks> :lol: Or maybe loops are like Marcel Duchamps' readymades. Anyway, looping just is another composition tool and prefab loops can be handy if you need to mock up a temp track in a hurry. I admit it. I sometimes loop... when I t...

Unfortunately, the smaller software houses have to be like sharks and keep swimming. They can't all be Apple. Maybe there were some buggies in 6, maybe not. Computers and operating systems are such complex creatures anymore, it's hard to lay the blame on MOTU, Apple, or perhaps some unstable plug-in...

Also, not that this has ever happened on this board, but I have to wonder if in other industries people who work for a competitor either with or without their employer's sanction, attempt to sabotage another company by flooding forums with reports of a product's problems and spreading disinformatio...

Hooray! Now I can skip the Sorrows of 6 and precede right to the Sorrows of 7. And I was this many angstroms way from finally ordering 6!

Can't wait to try it out.

Sorry to hear you lost some work. Unfortunately, it appears the DP does the same thing as Quark does. Instead of making a temp copy to work on (like MS does with Word, Excel files since like dinosaurs roamed), it works on the original. If the program dies a horrible flaming death, the file is easily...

How about taking Unisyn off life support, rebuilding it with cyborg parts to make it a plug-in style VI instrument thingie and opening the macro language for it so that the more adventurous of us can add any MIDIfied hardware out there? Then, you can treat your hardware the same as any software plug...

So, how does this controller in the mouthpiece of the EWI function? Can it not move up and down in real time like vibrato? Is it just sending an "on" command to the software, which then creates vibrato at a specified rate? I'm having the hardest time figuring this out from what people tel...

Wow! But true OCD-like behavior would be putting all those scale sheets into plastic sheet protectors... not that I would know anything about that...

And thanks for the downloads! uhhh... and as soon as I get some more sheet protectors, I am printing them out.
