Re: Bring back the Loop tool in DP 10.11

… The one snag in DP10 is there's no room at the end of a Clip in the Tracks window to add in the contextual Loop tool, so you can't loop from the Tracks window, which is IMO something they should correct in an update… And that's my main gripe, I think. Is there any advantage having to click back a...

Re: Bring back the Loop tool in DP 10.11

While I fully respect Michael Canavan's views and agree that probably Clips are as yet a bit half baked, I still want the Loop tool back. So there! :wink: Clips may be all the rage these days, but although (or because?) I've been using Performer/DP since version one, on the blue (?) floppy in a Mac ...

Re: Insanely useful Keyboard Maestro Macro

I got the macro working almost immediately on my ancient (2013) MB Air. But now when I'm back in front of my iMac 2019 5K, I can't for my life get it to work in the latest KM. Maybe there's something to Prime Mover's suspicion that the macro isn't comfortable with a 5120x2880 Retina screen?

Re: Insanely useful Keyboard Maestro Macro

This is a great macro, so useful and works perfectly – thank you very much for sharing! And for inspiring me to dig deeper in Keyboard Maestro.
Kind regards,

Re: DP 10.1 Where has 'Insert Loop' gone?

Thank you CharlzS for unraveling Pack clips for me! At first I scratched my head, because the cursor just wouldn't turn into a loop tool at the edge of a 'packed clip'. Then it dawned on me that perhaps this 'improved feature' only works in Sequence view, not in Tracks view like the old and sorely m...

Re: DP 10.1 Where has 'Insert Loop' gone?

As far as I can see, MOTU has suddenly deleted an elegant and unique (?) feature that has always been there: Set loop and Clear loop in an arbitrarily selected piece of a track and 'replaced' it with a convoluted feature called 'Clips' that apparently doesn't do anything like what Set loop did. I co...

Re: Time signature hurdles

Thanks for the analyses, guys!

It looks like I have to have a serious talk with the Toontrack devs.

Time signature hurdles

Returning (tentatively) to DP thanks to the 9.5 version, I just spent the better part of a half hour trying to convince it that, yes, this whole sequence is really supposed to be, not in 4/4 but in 3/4 time. :roll: Of course, I've been away from DP for some time and then I've mostly used it for audi...

Re: How to diasable Consolidated Editing in DP9 (demo)?

Thanks for the feedback, guys! What with unselecting all the options in the Consolidated Editing prefs and also unchecking “Dock in Consolidated Window” in the Control Panel drop down contextual menu, I think I can work around DP9's built-in insistence on Consolidated Editing. ;-) Kind regards, Joac...

How to diasable Consolidated Editing in DP9 (demo)?

I happen to hate Consolidated Editing with a vengeance. I'm still on DP7.24 and in the prefs, there's a check box on top of the Consolidated tab where you "Enable Consoldidated Editing". According to the DP9 pdf manual, that option check box should still be there. If it were, I'd have unch...

Re: NAMM 2015: DP9

I had the radical idea of posting a MOTU support ticket and ask about the DP9 Mac OS prerequisites. 10 minutes later (yes, MINUTES), Robin replied: "Thanks for writing. DP9 will have the same system requirements as DP8. DP8 is currently compatible with 10.6.8 - 10.10.3." Way to go, MOTU! K...

I haven't tried it, but Embertone should be good.

Re: Hardware connection advice, please!

Look in the smaller Getting Started book. Most of the set-up stuff is in there. I always forget to check there if I can't find something.
