Re: the cleanest compressor you can recommend

Tokyo Dawn Labs - Kotelnikov

... and it's free!

There is a paid GE Edition, but the free version is excellent.

Re: MOTU 896 MK3 Hybride AES/EBU - GENELEC ATMOS - ABLETON 10

Do you have the "Motu audio setup" application on your M1? Not sure if it is used with the hybrid interfaces (my 896 mk3 is older), but it allows you to choose which set of outputs is your default. It also allows you to change the sample rate, assign meters to the AES/EBU or optical output...

Re: Conductor track question

I can't say why it works that way, but can offer a workaround. When you click the marker, DP will select the area from there to the next marker, as expected. You simply can't see it if there are no other tracks. Then, in the sequence editor window, click the track name (Conductor) in the left-hand p...

Re: DP Sonic Modulator Plugin - Vanished

Sonic Modulator is one of those plugins that doesn't work on certain types of tracks.

For example; it works mono-to-stereo, but does not work stereo-to-stereo or mono-to-mono.

Were you possibly trying to use it on a stereo track? In that case, it simply doesn't show up in the plugins list.

Re: DP for blind users?

Interesting, when I was reading the thread, I was wondering , what would Stevie Wonder do? I was reminded of a short video where he asked someone to play a note while he sampled it and used it in his next take on a song. Maybe with the help of six degrees of separation, someone here knows someone w...

Re: DP for blind users?

Thanks everyone, for the feedback. I'm out of my lane here too... We worked this past week on a show at his school, using lots of wireless mics and a digital console. He can find the faders he wants among banks of 8, and the fact that they are motorized helps when bringing up scenes. So much of the ...

Re: DP for blind users?

Thanks so much for the reply. Which DAWs would be good in your estimation?

Logic comes to mind, since it is an Apple product. Pro Tools of course, and I have also read good things about Reaper. Do you have any experiences with those, pro or con?

Many thanks,

DP for blind users?

Hello everyone, I have a blind student in my theater sound crew (high school level). In our current production, we have him triggering audio cues and EFX from a MacBook Pro using Q-Lab and a stream deck controller. He's doing a great job. He also plays drums and guitar, is excited about working with...

Re: Importing DP 4.12 files to DP 11

My trusty PowerMac G5 has gone to the great beyond and I am now forced with the decision to either buy a refurbished G5 or to upgrade my studio to the latest DP version obviously getting a new Mac in the process. My question is this: Will I be able to import my DP 4.12 project files into the latest...

Re: Will Performer Lite (Windows) open DP projects (Mac)?

Thanks!

The receiving computer is Windows. There are only 1 or 2 Motu plugins though, so I will give it a try.

Will Performer Lite (Windows) open DP projects (Mac)?

Will Performer Lite on Windows open DP projects from Mac? I would like to send a couple of simple DP10/Mac projects consisting only of 1-3 audio tracks to a Performer Lite/Windows user. I don't know the exact PL version, but it's from approximately 2 years ago. My plan is to .zip the projects and up...

Re: Two Tracks Still in Record with Multi-Record Turned off?

Multi record in the studio menu only affects MIDI tracks, but I seem to remember a preference item "Multi record always on for audio tracks" (or something to that effect)... I'm not in front of DP right now, but I'm pretty sure it's there in Preferences.

Re: Length of multiple bounced files

If you bounce out files simultaneously from separate tracks then yes, the resulting files are all going to be the same length. The file length depends on the time range selection you have made. If the selection is somewhere where there is no sound, the bounce will not contain sound. This type of ope...

Yeah, as long as the switch is AVB compliant it should work... but I'm not a network engineer.
