Townsend Sphere L22 Microphone

The the Sound On Sound review of the Townsend Labs Sphere L22 microphone states that it should work with any DAW as long as the DAW supports stereo-in/mono-out plug-ins.

Do DP 9 & 10 support stereo in/mono out plugins?

Any Sphere L22 and DP users on motunation?

Thanks

Re: other way have the playhead return to starting play posi

I just saw this thread. My technique: press Start in the memory bar’s Memory Start Time just under the main counter to “mark” your current wiper position, then press Auto Rewind. Now whenever you press Play, then Stop the wiper will return to its original position. I use this all the time. It’s fast...

Re: External SSD Recommendation

Mike, that’s good news that I can upgrade to High Sierra whenever I’m ready because I don’t feel ready tonight. Good to know that I can “convert” my SSD to APFS when I upgrade to High Sierra even though it will have Komplete libraries on it. That’s what I wasn’t sure about. I just realized that the ...

Re: External SSD Recommendation

My new SSD arrives tomorrow. I just happened to think: should I quickly (as in tonight) upgrade to High Sierra so that I can format my new SSD in APFS instead of Max OS Extended? I sometimes transfer AIFF or Wave files back and forth form my iMac to my old G4 using a flash drive. Will I still be abl...

Re: External SSD Recommendation

Thanks Mike. That's the information I was looking for. I like the idea of the 2 TB drive. I already have Mach Five 3 and a number of VIs. Is there an advantage to using the USB dock instead of an enclosure like the OWC Express portable USB 3.0 enclosure? Looking to the future, would installing the S...

External SSD Recommendation

I’m going to upgrade to Komplete 11 Ultimate during NI’s summer sale. I need advice on a 1TB external SSD to store the 500+ GB of sample libraries. I have a 27” late 2015 iMac, 4 GHz Intel Core i7, 1 TB internal SSD, 32 GB RAM. It has USB 3.0 (now called USB Type 3.1 Gen 1 I guess) and thunderbolt 2...

Re: New Imac Advice

I zipped a few old DP 3 files today, moved them across drives and opened them in DP 4.62 just for practice. I realize this was not a real a test because I was dealing with the same OS. I got the Device Remap window and then the Effects Error window with the option to Clear Missing or OK. The effects...

Re: New Imac Advice

Mike, thanks. I take it as real world experience which is what I was looking for. I will order the 4.0 GHz i7.

Re: New Imac Advice

Mike, I have a few questions about hard drive strategy. I may have lost touch with what's been going on in the past few years. From reading some of you older posts I see that it is accepted strategy to record to the same internal SSD boot drive where DP resides. Is there ever any advantage to partit...

Re: New Imac Advice

I just wanted to check something: as I mentioned earlier I have quite a few older files, some going back to DP v3.1.1 and DP 4.62. I'm assuming that DP9 has no problem opening legacy files, even as far back as DP 3?

Re: New Imac Advice

Guitar Gaz, I see that you have the 3.3 GHz i5 processor and you're not hearing much fan noise, probably just the normal 1200 rpm speed fan noise which is barely audible. I've seen anecdotal evidence googling around that there is a difference between the 3.3 GHz i5 and the 4.0 GHz i7 regarding tempe...

Re: New Imac Advice

Mile, Thanks for the info on the difference between the i5 and the i7. If additional fan noise is not an issue I will go with the i7. I have quite a few older DP files to move going back to DP v3.1.1. I've seen quite a few of your other posts in the past couple of weeks and I saw your advice to zip ...

New Imac Advice

I've been away from recording and DP for a number of years, since DP 4.62. I plan to purchase a new imac 5k, buy DP9 and upgrade Mach Five to version 3. I'm concerned about fan noise and am trying to choose between these two models: 3.3 GHz quad core i5, 1TB SSD and 8GB RAM (I will upgrade to 32GB R...
