Re: MOTU MIDI TimePiece AV USB and macOS Monterey

Hi, Long story short, MOTU no longer supports their older hardware. In this case, the drivers for the current MIDI devices work with the older ones, too — you just have to know which units use the same driver and where to look. Go to this site and find MIDI Interfaces in the left drop-down; MIDI Ex...

Re: Solid state logic UC1 and DP

AS of DP 11.1 this still doesn't work, and after reading this thread, I assume it never will. Too bad. This stuff is well integrated in other DAWs, just not DP.

Re: Help getting new Faderport to work with DP11

I’ve gotten the FP2 to work in DP11 except for the issue that it doesn’t follow track selection. So, it’s super tedious selecting the track you want to adjust. Is there a setting in DP I don’t know about that gives me this ability (Logic has a pref for this)? The Faderport, which works great in DP10...

Re: Help getting new Faderport to work with DP11

Have you switched the Faderport operating mode to either MCU or HUI? It's kinda buried in the manual, but my FP2 came with an extra sheet of paper that showed how: hold down the "Next" key while powering up, wait for buttons to start flashing, then pick a mode. Mute = MCU Logic Arm = MCU ...

Help getting new Faderport to work with DP11 [RESOLVED]

Apologizes if this is the wrong forum. I've been trying to get what control surfaces I own to work with DP 11 and have added a Faderport 2 to try out. The only big thing I can't figure out (and maybe it's impossible) is for it to change tracks. Right now it seems to be "stuck" on the first...

Re: New presonus Faderport

Is anyone using the “new” Faderport in DP successfully? My Alphatrack currently doesn’t work in DP11 (still works in 10) and the older Faderport is sketchy. I don’t mind getting the newer Faderport if indeed it actually works.

Re: Alpha Track Lives within DP Again!

Anyone getting Alphatrack to work normally in DP 11/Catalina? It still works fine in DP 10 and Logic X over here but I think it's "broken" in DP11.Oh well, I had a good run with this controller;-)

Re: Wavesfactory TrackSpacer

2021: Just starting using this in Logic (works as expected). In DP 10 and 11 it seems I'm limited in terms of what I can use as the side chain source. I want to use a mono lead vocal as the side chain input. I have zero audio tracks as options for side chain inputs, only busses. So, I have to send ...

Once I started using the Magic Trackpad 2 with my Mac, I can't imagine going back to any other input device.
Ditto!

Re: Pinch Zoom info?

You're actually right. I'm so much on auto pilot that when I do a vertical zoom I hold down the option key in Logic;-) But, I do have the ability to vertical zoom with TP with this modifier. Can this be done in DP's sequence editor w/TP?

Pinch Zoom info?

Is there some complete info on all the Track Pad pinch Zoom abilities? I'm coming from Logic so am very used to pinch zooming both horizontally and vertically. So far I'm able to pinch zoom horizontally in the MIDI and sequence editor. In the MIDI editor I can pinch zoom vertically while holding dow...

Re: DP Crashing on Bounce to Disk

You could use the app “Audio Hijack” to capture audio in real time internally. It works great and could be used as a workaround until you get things sorted out. I use it when I want to skip around a session and record various takes for clients all in one file. Today I used it to show them 3 differen...

Re: Will installing DP10 screw up DP9?

Just a followup on my initial post for any other future travelers: I upgraded from DP 9x to DP 10.13 this morning and then went and tried to open up a few of these "crusty old" projects that were giving me issues before and wouldn't open without my crazy work around. Now it seems I can act...

Re: Will installing DP10 screw up DP9?

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure why but I can't open up older than DP 7 projects in DP9. Here's an example of the error message I always get.This file was saved in DP 5.13. My work around is to boot up Parallels, open it with DP 7 and then just save it. DP 9 can then open it. I would love to figur...
