Re: A sample of what I do

Thanks for your reply, Mike. Here is another of my arrangements, three of Irving Berlin’s earliest hits. I might add that my work is all done with virtual instruments; nothing is live. There is one soundbite in here: the slide whistle, because I didn’t have a VI for that. I have a subscription to a ...

A sample of what I do

I thought you folks might be interested in the sort of music I do in DP. I like to make full symphonic arrangements, pretty much in the Pops orchestra vein. I specialize in popular music of the last century, a lot of movie themes, and what I like to call Orchestra Folk—which is folk music (both auth...

Re: Wallander, WIVI, WOW!

I contacted Wallander and they told, as has been previously stated, that they could technically could sell me WIVI without support, but also with no guarantee that it would work in DP 10 on Mac Mojave. Back in the day, I used to drool over the Wallander Instruments and look forward longingly to the ...

Re: A new problem with step record

So I am going to try to delete my prefs and see if that corrects this problem. In a simpler time, I knew how to do this. Can anyone tell me exactly how to go about it? Specifically, do I delete the plist file as well?

A new problem with step record

A new problem has popped up in the step record mode. I select the track I wish to record on and enable record for that track. Then I open the step record box and click the "Lock to Transport" box. I select the note value I want and then play a note on my MIDI keyboard, but nothing happens....

Flushing undo list

I think there should be a sound effect when you flush the undo list. What do you all think?

Re: Odd reverb situation

I still don't know what caused it, but I figured out how to fix it. I deleted the entire instance of the offending instance of the ARIA player (the horns) and reloaded it. It went away! Thanks, you guys, for your help.

Accessing images

I have tried in some of my posts to include links to images that I've uploaded to Google photos, but invariably they can't be accessed by other members. Does anyone have any idea why this is? Do I need to use another hosting site? Is there perhaps something about my Google account or the images that...

Odd reverb situation

The strangest thing has started happening in a project I’m working on. The attached screenshot shows my mixer view at a moment when only the banjo is playing. Somehow, the feed from the banjo track has started getting into my horn track’s reverb. At the moment this was taken, the horns were not play...

Update—He finally got back with me and we got the plugin working. So although it took a while, it all worked out in the end.

Erratic window population

DP has been doing something very annoying for some time. It is my understanding that when you open an edit region window, it is supposed to populate the fields with your last setting. Sometimes it does. But many times it will keep populating them with the same settings over and over again, regardles...

Extending VI ranges

I figured out a way to extend the ranges of sounds in my Garritan libraries. For instance, the banjo sample only goes down to a D, but a long neck five string in C tuning, with no capo goes down to an A. And sometimes guitarists will occasionally tune their 6th string down to a D. Some basses go as ...

Re: Reflekt Audio

“They” is a guy named Daniel. He is giving away some VIs in hopes that you’ll support him by buying others. It’s a business model that will or will not work for hm. I’ll snag this banjo and one or two other freebies. I’m also looking at some of his commercial apps and will drop a dime if there’s an...

Reflekt Audio

Has anyone had any experience with Reflekt Audio? They have a banjo sample, YoJo Banjo, which they are offering for free. Their demo video looks pretty good, but I wonder why they would give away that and other packages for nothing.

Re: Manual for MOTU Instruments

Thanks for your reply. As it happens, I was also looking for documentation on the UVI engine, and I didn’t think to look in the plug-ins manual.
