Hi Dear Community, I've been on here a long time and grateful for the host James and Cohosts who are solidly here to help when I need them as well as you various nerds out there haha. Thank you! I have a well running Mac Mini Late 2012 2.6 Ghz i7 with 16 GB of RAM and I am about to drop two 1 TB SSD...

MIDI Life Crisis, You've been such a great help now and in the past. Thank you for being such a great help here all these years. I hesitated to follow Motu's advice which was: 1) Perform a factory reset on the device. Disconnect unit from computer. Hold in the Volume knob in for 5 seconds. You shoul...

Greetings James and all, I have never had a problem switching between DP 9.5 and playing any mp3 on iTunes or in the finder with a space bar to play an audio file. They all sounded the same. But lately DP plays back perfect but when I "bounce" an MP3 or even an AIFF-C file out and listen t...

Hi Mike Thank you for your response. You have been a gem here for years. Thank you for your time Sir. I read your suggestion. I tried taking my original soundbank Machfive 2 soundfiles from the original disk, zipped them and moved them to the SSD. But things have changed so much and it didn't work. ...

Hi Everyone, 01/11/19 I transferred my Music sounds folder of all machfive2 and machfive3 .UFS samples and Volumes onto an SSD. I went into Machfive 3 preferences and changed that path to the SSD. I didn't change the folder name, just moved it over to the SSD. Machfive3 lists the Machfive2 soundbank...

Hi, Got all psyched to get DP 8, finally, from DP 6. Many menu items, including the CPU activity meter (Audio Performance) are greyed out. I did a search on this term "greyed out" but overwhelmed by all the posts. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Here's my specs and I meet all min...

Wow! Thanks for your responses. You hit the answers out of the ball park. And very interesting answers with intriguing statistics. Musician-geeks, unite! Thanks to the community here. I am very grateful you are here. I never knew that about the eSata card which could accommodate multiple drives. I l...

My mackbook pro: 2008, 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB ram 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM 250GB hard drive OS X 10.6.8 My G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz with 6 GB RAM Two large internal hard drives.

Greetings Folks I've been a longtime user of DP for about 20 years. Now I am on version DP 6.0 and quite happy with it, it is plenty for me. I've been getting confused with how the Cuemix FX software is involved with mixing down (and monitoring) in DP. I need to mix down (bounce) my tunes I am worki...

What a fantastic community here. You folks have never let me down. Great article James! Thanks for that. Full of good juicy details. The MB Pro can't have more than 4gb of ram, right? So I guess the article is saying it doesn't matter if my machine doesn't boot in 64 bit mode. Am I missing something...

Friends I'm about to buy a MB Pro Aluminum 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo 4GB 250GB 2008 pre-unibody. I understand I will have to hook external drives to make it run smoothly. But my question is: Will Snow Leopard run my following software without having to upgrade? My stuff works sweet on my G5 and I'm not a fa...

Hi Is there going to be any trouble installing two versions of DP I own to be installed under the same boot drive? I have DP6 right now working perfectly on a G5 tower under OS X Tiger 10.4.11. Would it be ok to install DP 4.6 in the same apps folder? I fear installing DP 4.6 after DP 6.1 is running...

Thanks Mike. That's a good review of those docks. Here's one that has Firewire which is probably what I'll get: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0290031" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (OWC has a bunch with firewire that may be less expensiv...

Mike Thank you for your very informative answer. It makes me want to buy a 2010 model so I don't through all these issues. I was wondering if you've heard of those docks that make a hard drive act like a capsule, basically. The drive doesn't have a case, it's a dock where the drive is bare and it st...

Thank you for taking the time out to respond with your thoughtful answers, I really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Meister
