Re: Thunderbolt/USB 4, and MOTU HW

I'd like to hear more about this. Are there issues with connecting to M2 Macs via Thunderbolt?

Re: 828ES not sending audio to outputs?

Fixed it. It was a security setting in MacOS - need to allow DP access to the microphone.

828ES not sending audio to outputs?

Hi - I must be overlooking something simple. Trying to record audio from my guitar into an 828ES. I can monitor just fine, but no audio is being recorded from the analog inputs on the 828ES. Any tips? I've tried restoring back to factory settings and firmware/Motu audio are all up to date. I'm not s...

Does BPM still work with Catalina OS?

Just upgraded to a new iMac and trying to get BPM working. I've got the UFS UFS1 files in Library/App Support/Motu/BPM and the Beatbox sounds in Library/App Support/UVISoundbanks. But no sounds show up and I get an error that they are missing or not authorized. Anyone still using BPM that could help...

828es question: Ok to connect gear using unbalanced cables?

I'm getting a used 828es and was curious if it's ok to used unbalanced 1/4" instrument cables to connect unbalanced gear (Korg Minilogue XD, etc). I've got high quality cables but they are not balanced. Any advice here? Thanks.

Re: Processor spikes when playing soft synths [solved]

If the 1024 buffer causes too much latency, anything else I can try to avoid spikes at 512 other than getting a new machine? It seems really counterintuitive that playing the synth live (not triggering it via a MIDI track) while the transport is playing the song doesn't result in spikes - but playin...

Re: Processor spikes when playing soft synths

Solved: It was a buffer issue. I was at 512 and changing it to 1024 removed the spikes. Didn't have issues at 512 until recently, maybe it's a sign my iMac is nearing the end.

Processor spikes when playing soft synths

Hi - I recently upgraded to the latest version of DP on my late 2013 iMac. I'm noticing something odd (at least to me)... If I open an existing song, and add a new instrument track (Omnisphere), and start playing just the synth (the song is not playing), I'll get processor spikes and drop outs in th...

Hi - considering upgrading from my late 2013 iMac i7 to either a new i9 iMac or the 2017 iMac Pro. Does anyone have recommendations over which may DP would take better advantage of?

Awesome news! I was getting a bit worried seeing warnings that the current version DP would no longer be compatible with the next MacOS update!

Re: Question about looping in DP

There are a few different ways to loop within DP. You can select a region of just one track and loop it. You can record the output of that track (including the loop) to another track if you like. You can select a region and paste-repeat it as many times as you want. Lots of methods, depending on yo...

Question about looping in DP

Hello - I'm interested in trying some loop-based remixes of old recorded songs. Is it possible in DP to loop a certain section of a song (including multiple tracks) and have that loop record to a new track?

Thanks!

Custom Audio MIDI Setup Icons?

Hi - for some reason I'm having a really difficult time creating custom icons for my audio MIDI setup. I've tried creating small TIFF files and saving them in Library>Audio>MIDI Devices>Generic>Images but they do not appear. I was able to do this some time ago, but I'm clearly forgetting something. ...
