Re: Ghost in the machine, weird MIDI timing

Many thanks for the feedback guys, I tried all the suggestions but ultimately had to open a new project and transfer the VI's and MIDI using clippings. I then had the VI's playing in time and was able to bounce the individual tracks to disc. I re imported the audio back into the project and dispense...

Ghost in the machine, weird MIDI timing

I've run into a roadblock trying to troubleshoot this; I'm nearing the end of a fairly big mix and out of the blue 3 different MIDI instruments have started playing back very erratically. UVI drum designer, an ARP and Ez drummer. The tracks are playing back late as well as sounding oddly unquantised...

Re: Problems with automation in 10.11

I'm having exactly the same problem. Mute automation on aux sends not following correctly. Some sends work and others don't on the same channel.

Any updates since 3rd March?

Re: Mas, 1 error Audio Unit Support

Same problem here. No UAD plugins loading, just a bunch of MAS 1 error popups to wade through. Spoke with MOTU tech and it's a known issue. They're working on it with UA. Hopefully a fix will be available soon.

Re: Slate VerbSuiteClassics causes processor spikes

Hi David,

I can confirm that in my case, the problematic instance of VerbSuite Classics was loaded with the FG-3500 program.

Re: DP 9.5 IS NOW UP!!! :)

Dear Magic Dave & all, thanks so much for the new effect performance pane. I've so often had weird glitches and performance spikes always happening at exactly the same position in a song but for no obvious or easily identifiable reason. My current project developed this annoyance and 1st thing o...

Re: DP 9.1 not playing nice with UAD Apollo Quad

I had the stuttering / glitching, processor spike problem in a project a while back. Always at the same spot in the track. I eventually solved it by disabling the stock Motu DP sampler.

Re: Slate plugins loading but not processing audio

I have the same problem with the Slate VMR. I don't really know if an instance if active or not without the window being open. It's only a problem with Slate. Switching off pretender works but I'd rather not have to do that. I know Slate are aware of this so hopefully there will be a fix before long.

I've been having the same issue. Was going to contact slate but now you have to book a slot to speak with someone. I haven't got round to that yet..

Re: DP 9's CPU meter is in Red with 93% idle activity

Exactly the same here, DP usually maxes out using only about 15 to 20% leaving around 80 to 85% available cpu free. I've never been able to get a straight answer from Motu about this. I did request that the performance meter include more usable information, a submenu with a breakdown of what's compi...

Re: Error message "Master Pointer was nil (-109)"

Yikes! this has just happened to me too. It's only affecting the project I'm currently working on though. I can't open any of the regular or autosave files in this one particular project folder. All my other DP projects are opening fine. If the -109 error points to a problem with my system drive why...

Re: Mouse lock up in Maschine 2.2 + DP 8.07

I had exactly the same problem. Maschine 2.2 disabled my mouse. I had to revert to 2.1 and after some hastle everything is working again. NI tech have been no help so far. I sent a ticket which took days before I received a reply. They asked me to send a diagnostics file. That was another few days a...

Re: Bounce to disk definitely broken

I also appreciate the benefits of being able to use the bounce to disc feature. Running off a quick mp3 / using better oversampling rates for plugins that offer offline improvements etc. Can't understand why Motu still seem to have their heads in the sand over this one . Mach 5 is the worst offender...
