Difficulty opening files in DP 11.2 & 11.21

Hello - I'm having a difficult time opening a file in DP 11.2 & 11.21. The file in question has a movie embedded, which I am scoring music for. It usually takes four or five attempts, but presently I cannot get it to open at all. Would the movie have anything to do with this? Files that are AUDI...

Re: "Violin Stories" ~ epic Jon Anderson orchestral work

I was just alerted to the fact that facebook has disabled their music player for some reason. So... if anyone went to the page I directed you to and was unable to play "Violin Stories", I offer my sincere apologies. At the same time, I was informed that the MySpace player is alive and well...

"Violin Stories" ~ epic Jon Anderson orchestral work

"Violin Stories" is a 7 movement work for violin & orchestra conceived by Jon Anderson. After he & I had begun writing together, he said, "Let me send you something to work on...", and soon, 7 mp3 files arrived in my email box. Jon's original idea was a violin concerto, b...

Re: song written with Jon Anderson using DP

Awesome. I'm a huge fan of Yes. Congrats! I'm glad you enjoyed "Surfing With God" ~ thank you! I feel very fortunate to have lived while YES was in existence. "Roundabout" hit the radio when it was released as a 'single', and I became an instant and just about lifelong fan upon ...

Re: song written with Jon Anderson using DP

Impressive indeed... nice one man! Thanks macguy! I'm so glad you enjoyed "Surfing With God". If you're a fan of Jon's, go to youtube and type "jonsgreatestfan" in the search line ~ scroll down past the Indiana Jones videos (!) and you'll find a plethora of Jon's music videos. E...

Re: song written with Jon Anderson using DP

Very impressed - I still love Yes and think their works have not dated like some of the prog music. The new Yes album is good but its not the same without Jon Anderson. "Awaken" is still one of my favourites. Guitar Gaz ~ thank you so much! I've been a YES fan since just about the very be...

Very nice! I'm jealous you got to work with Jon :) I'm a huge fan of his early work with Yes! Nice song, well done! Thanks, funkyfreddy ~ I, too, am a huge fan of Jon's; have been for more years than I want to fess up to! He kept YES music strong and vital all the way through "Magnification&qu...

song written with Jon Anderson using DP

Hi! I've written a song with Jon Anderson (YES) titled "Surfing With God". It is featured in a video tribute to a big wave surfer named Sion Milosky, who perished in a "two wave hold" at Maverick's in Santa Cruz in March, 2011. The song takes on an entirely new meaning in this li...

Re: muting & unmuting plug-ins

Bring the VI into your sequence via an Aux track. There you can apply the plugins and do all the muting you want. I don't know of a way of automating plugins in the VI's channel strip. The VI itself may accept MIDI commands from the V-Rack, but not direct automation like regular audio/aux tracks. T...

muting & unmuting plug-ins

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to mute ('bypass') and unmute plug-ins once they've been assigned to a virtual instrument track? I'm using the MOTU multimode filter on a Kontakt drum loop, and would like to be able to switch it on & off within the sequence so that some measures of the loo...

Re: "Overwrite" mode in automation question

. Hmmmm. Sorry. It looks like I completely misunderstood what your problem was. I was writing a response, but saw that you figured it out. That's good. However, there was something in your wording regarding the use of automation (and its modes) that makes me feel you are a little confused on how th...

Re: "Overwrite" mode in automation question

OK, got it figured out... thank you both again for your help & suggestions. Indeed, it turned out to be a matter of disabling Volume, Pan, and Track Mute automation for each MIDI track that I want to run in "Overwrite" mode. Haven't dealt with this before... it was a new one for me :ro...

Re: "Overwrite" mode in automation question

. This may be a long shot, but judging by this behavior: if I use "Latch" mode, the volume resets to -6.0 (127 MIDI volume) when I hit play in DP ... I'd venture to say you have the automation in your MIDI tracks starting AFTER where you really want. That's why Overwrite is working for yo...
