Very serious question. How do you feel about MOTU developing the next StaffPad for the iPad Pro? I'm well aware that iOS is not OS X or Windows, and an A9 (or A10) is not an i5, but good developers find a way. Apple will need to improve iOS, so let's hope they do. Looking at StaffPad on a well equi...

I met her up in Toronto last Fall, she’s a really down to earth, modest person...with incredible music talent and technique.

I phoned MOTU once when I was having troubles with my DP8 upgrade from DP7 (authorizing). As soon as he answered the phone, I knew it was Dave and I think I even said "Magic Dave!". He was so friendly and helpful; a wonderful ambassador for MOTU.

Hey all- I just went back to DP9.02 but using the latest update for VEP6. I noticed when I used the fast bounce, that VEP reloads all the instruments TWICE during the mixdown... That's never occurred before when using DP and VEP. Not sure if there is any settings to fix this. I've tried changing the...

I own a few Orchestral Tools' libraries and this one looks like a monster. My background is trombone and a lot of VIs libraries always seem to treat them with the lowest priority... This one looks pretty solid. Great sound on the teaser. The walkthough by Sascha is also quite eye (and ear) opening. ...

I used it yesterday with DP 9.1. Pretty nice stuff. I especially like using ve pro with mono timbral plug ins like Xpand and Synthmaster. Really cool stuff. No brainer really.

I'm wondering if there's any way when I want to add more MIDI or instrument tracks that i can add a bunch and auto increment their MIDI channel numbers? Or even after the fact go in and select a bunch of tracks and assign in ascending order, the MIDI channels. I know Cubase can do this and it's prob...

yes indeed! Thanks kindly!

Thanks so much for the quick response! Yeah the film I have has no SMPTE time code so that makes it extra fun. I began scoring it in Pro tools 10 (don't ask why) and thought "what the hell?" and moved all my cues into DP. This is where DP really shines- having multiple sequences assigned t...

Hi All It's been a few years since I actually used DP for film scoring (just haven't had any projects since then) and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to start a cue mid way into the film. I recall using Chunks and setting my movie for all sequences but I cannot for the life of me get the...

For some odd reason I cannot get more than 16 MIDI channels per instance on MachFive 3. I tried re-installing the program but lo and behold I found no MAS version of it in the install options (just RTAS, AU and VST). The weirdest thing is that I can get 64 channels using the RTAS version in Pro Tool...

I have a 2408mk3 and 424/pci-e and I can't really tell the difference between that and my Apogee Duet. The MOTU smokes all FW interfaces as far as latency and reliability. I can lower my sample buffer a lot more.

For some odd reason I cannot get 64 instrument channels in Mach5 ver3 in DP even though I can in Pro Tools 10. I'd love to use this great plug in but the only MOTU VI I can get multiple ports on is Symphonic Instrument. Any suggestions?

Thanks that is good to know. I appreciate your response. I did stumble upon this link and used it to get going with local sound on my Macbook. so how would I set this up for DP7.24? I can route out to phones but I'd love to be able to default to phones on any track when I add virtual instruments. Th...

It says no unit can be found, so I don't think it applies. Could just be a defective unit.
