Re: Recording Plug Ins

Are you using a Universal Audio Apollo? You can print no latency high quality UAD effects with that (predicated on you owning them of course). If you don't, you can buy-in for as little as $300 used. Do you have a problem with processing power? There isn't really a benefit sonically to printing digi...

Re: DP + Airfoil 2024?

Just to state the obvious, is there a reason you aren't pursuing an Ethernet solution? You can also do long TB runs if buy the ridiculously expense long optical cable.

Re: View filters and track folders

It is annoying that you have to resave and re-keybind the track layouts. I hope they improve this. Yes, I do have templates, but I still add tracks that requires me to do this sometimes. But even with this limitation, it is still a huge net positive time-wise and makes mixing so much easier. It also...

Re: View filters and track folders

All of the "Show/Hide" commands are already built into the DP shortcuts. You just have to assign key commands. To do the track layouts (besides a couple of basic ones like "Show All"), first create and name the layout. Then open the Commands window and search for the name you jus...

Re: View filters and track folders

That's a good one. You can assign short cuts to show/hide any kind of track or any track layout. I have a ton of them assigned on my Stream Deck.

Re: View filters and track folders

After you save the track layout, go to the shortcuts window and search for the layout name you just created and you can assign a short cut key.

Re: Go Big or Go Home?

I experimented with all the recommendations mentioned here. But I think I notice a theme "Samsung". Maybe I'll try that.

Re: Old to new extended keyboards-Can F13 through F19 be assigned the same as on the older F1 through F6 keyboards.

F14 and F15 work for me. I've always used a full size keyboard, previously the older Apple (with a wire and no Chiclet keys which I hate). Now I have a Macally. Keep trying.

Maybe they need to be unassigned in Mac OS. I don't remember.

Re: Go Big or Go Home?

I did try gaming mode (which did improve but not eliminate mouse latency). I did a lot of troubleshooting before I threw in the towel. That is why I'm so confused. All these TVs have very similar specs and a wide range of price points. I wonder if there are some critical parameters that have to be s...

Re: Go Big or Go Home?

I don't understand this. I tried using a large TV monitor and slowed my system way down and I had to switch back. I wonder why it didn't work out for me. First I tried a 55" LG which was too big as it is right in front of me. Then I tried a 40" (Visio, TCL? I don't remember). It was great....

Re: Buying DP now or wait?

They just said their focus was on improving v11. I interpret that to mean they are struggling with some of the features they want to include in v12, mostly likely the Dolby Atmos implementation. They do offer a grace period as someone said, I think six months. Are there features in v11 you need that...

Should you use a cleaner? What utilities do you use?

Should I use a "cleaner" program on my MBP? I don't have a problem with hard drive space. What utilities do you use that you consider essential? I'm using Steer Mouse, Carbon Copy Cloner, Google Drive, Google VPN. and Display Menu. Sometimes Macs Fan Control. Memory Clean 3 is installed bu...

Re: DP11.31 is now available

I'm having so many crashes to the point of calling it unstable. I probably had 10 crashes yesterday and already two this morning. Sometimes on routine activities such as freezing a track or changing a plugin setting.
