I just updated my TechLink at MOTU. I decided to add a note about how much I don't like that now even the scrub bar snaps to the grid (Ugh!! at long last, have they no decency?!) Here's a project. It has a Pianoteq 8 track already enabled, so you might have to swap that out. https://www.jonstubbsmus...

Yea, I think that was a red herring. My interface shows all the faders zeroed out, because Core Audio does not have control over those levels-- which are handled by the device and it's mixer/config panel. But that doesn't mean that the input is not receiving signal-- just means CoreAudio can't contr...

Click on the input tab and look to see of the faders are zeroed out. I'm not sure if that means anything, as sometimes that is just the way CoreAudio deals with some external devices that have their own configuration options.

It like seems the problem doesn't happen at certain tempos. For example the notes cut off randomly at 119bpm, 124bpm and 151bpm, but never at 120bpm, 125bpm or 150bpm. It's as if there's certain magic tempos where DP behaves as it should...very weird. WOW!! You're onto something there! At 120, 125,...

It's not very consistent. I just did a test and the 2nd note of a series was always shorted, then after than it was more random. It did change with tempo, but slowing down didn't make it better, just different of the notes in the series would short. I guess since it is inconsistent, that pokes holes...

Any projects, and Pianoteq is where I notice it most, because I use it for my composition, arrangements, mockups, etc.

If quantizing for notation, as opposed to audio, purposes, perhaps a "Save As (Notation)" would be a good approach. That, or shortening quantized notes by a few ticks. If I'm also needing a proper demo, I'll make two versions of a MIDI track: "Playback" and "Notation"....

This consecutive note problem hasn't always been the case. It worked fine in some previous version of DP. It broke at some point. Previously, when note #1's OFF was on the same tick as note #2's ON, the OFF was prioritized. Then later, the ON was prioritized causing the note to be shorted. It's obvi...

Working with some MIDI today and found that DP's age-old adjacent note bug has returned (or was never fixed in the first place). With consecutive notes of the same pitch, where starts & ends are quantized for notation purposes, playback doesn't work right. The 2nd note's duration is reduced to t...

Are you seeing level activity on that meter?

I guess you could also open Audio MIDI Setup and poke around there a little.

You've got the output tab selected. What about the input tab?

For some of the grunt-work-flow, doing a little planning about what kinds of tasks you do often (scrolling, zooming, window sets, transport, etc, etc), and how you might prefer to activate them, (via mouse button, key-stroke, trackpad gesture, etc), then setting up the COMMANDS in DP and working out...

As the sands of time have poured on, I've seen some number of DP updates that mention "rebuilding from the ground up" or some other such claim of careful reworking. Various updates have brought with them some improvements and new powers. I've had a couple of my "darlings" murdere...

NICE!!

Thanks for sharing that tip!
