Re: Double midi-notes???

Aha! I figured it out! Turns out that my new MIDI keyboard sends data through the USB cable not only to get power, but it also sends MIDI data to DP through the same cable. I was thinking "old school" and I also had a traditional MIDI cable running to my audio/MIDI interface, so it was get...

Double midi-notes??? - RESOLVED

Anyone have an idea why every time I record a series of MIDI notes, it's recording another MIDI note on top of the other?
In other words, if I delete a MIDI note, I'll find a hidden one right under where the other was.

Puzzling.

Help?

Re: Recording with Digital Performer at HALF-SPEED?

Thanks to everyone who posted their ideas about how to record audio files at half-speed. Changing the sample rate didn't work for me, because dropping it down doesn't reduce the original by EXACTLY half. I ended up using Audacity, in addition to DP. It's a free, cross-platform audio software. I made...

Recording with Digital Performer at HALF-SPEED?

Hi guys, Someone out there must have an answer for me.... I have been trying to figure a way to record digitally at half-speed. More specifically, I want to do sort of what Les Paul used to do. He'd record a basic rhythm track with a tape recorder (in the days of tape) at 30 ips, with normal instrum...

Re: Audio Interface gets VERY distorted while using DP.

Thanks, Mike and Caleb for your attention to this issue. I hadn't checked Motunation for a while, because the problem seems to have gone away....for now. I'll keep your notes handy, if it ever acts up again. (I'm not doing much recording lately.)

Re: Audio Interface gets VERY distorted while using DP.

Hey Happy that happens to me occasionally and I shut down DP and trash or replace the MAS audio preference then restart the computer. Try that see if it works. I make copies of my MOTU preferences when all is well and use those to replace when the audio gets distorted. Hopefully that works for you....

Audio Interface gets VERY distorted while using DP.

This has been driving me crazy. For years I had a Presonus Saffire audio interface for my Mac and DP. It worked like a charm, and was trouble free for about 10 years. Then, one day it died. I recently replaced it with another Presonus product, the Studio 24c. After a couple of hours, the sound going...

Problem routing MIDI signals out of DP, into an external device.

Please bear with me. I haven't tried to do this in years. I know there's a way to route MIDI signals out of DP, and play into an external sound device. I can record MIDI just fine, and have it play an INTERNAL software synth, but how the heck do I send that same MIDI signal out from DP, to my Preson...

Re: Upgrading my iMac.... Advice needed....

Thank you, Mike, et al... Good information there. Yes, I know I'll have to upgrade various software (some is still working from 2008!!), but I wasn't sure about the DP upgrade. I'll try the 9.56 DP upgrade on the new computer first, and see if I can get away with that. Otherwise, I'll go fo the full...

Upgrading my iMac.... Advice needed....

Hi Guys, Say, I've been using DP9.01, and doing fine with it. The thing is, my iMac is now an unbelievable TEN YEARS old, and I need to replace it before it fails on me. About 80% done with my current album project, and I don't want to mess it up OR have to learn a whole new DP upgrade. My question ...

Re: Quickscribe: Where is the 8va (octave up) symbol and dotted line?

Thanks, Jon. Well, that's disappointing Is there a way to change key signatures WITHIN a stave? For example, at measure 3 of a 4-measure line? Also, is there a way to add bowing technique over the notes? I'm guessing the answers are "no", but I'm hoping otherwise. dc Nope. The QuickScribe ...

Re: Can't switch from VST to Audio Units

Thanks, guys, for the suggestions... Yes, I'm running in 64-bit mode. I'm a bit afraid to update from DP 9.1 to 9.52, in case my plug-ins and virtual instruments suddenly turn incompatiible. I'm working on two album projects, and I've GOT to get those done before I take any such chances. Dana Countr...
