Re: Bussing Stereo and Surround Tracks

Never mind!

Just noticed there is a "send from channel" option on the surround sends that gives you a choice.

Bussing Stereo and Surround Tracks

I am trying to bus a stereo track to two mono busses, and a 5.1 surround track to six mono busses. I was able to trick out the stereo track by putting the same stereo send bus on two of it's sends, then panning one send full-left and the other send full-right. This sends each discrete side of the st...

Re: Custom key commands - a cautionary tale

I actually eventually made a ever-updated list on my laptop of every MIDI controller # or note I've hijacked for some macro or key-command.

Also every key-combo, so I can quickly find unused ones.

Re: Meters

I do wish Motu would create a simple linear peak-meter plugin instead of calibration, and also add meters to custom-consoles. And PLEASE give custom-consoles a facelift! It's a tremendous tool, but not a great GUI. And it could use some additions and new features. I read about "environments&quo...

Re: Meters

I had that problem too, and ended up figuring out a "meter bus". I was getting latency and some other stuff, all for just a meter! I put a bus on one of my master 2-bus sends that sends to a bus that just has a meter inserted on it. Then I use this (free!) meter; https://www.refusesoftware...

Re: Crappy Workaround for Alphabetizing Categories in Plugin Menus (SEE BETTER WAY IN THREAD!)

I can't get right-click hierarchical plugin menus working in DP at all like in this old DP8 organizing plugins tips video. Does anyone know of any reason or preference that might be stopping it from happening? I am using control-click instead of mouse right-click, as I still have an old left-click-o...

Hey thanks!

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some preference somewhere!

Re: Note Name in Audio Vocal Pitch Editing

There's a preference in MIDI Editing - Always show all note names. Check that if you haven't already. The pitch ruler appears to follow the MIDI settings. Hey thanks! That is what is weird...I have that checked, and it seems to work with MIDI notes, but not with the "bars" or whatever you...

Re: Digital Performer 11.3 released!

It may be my imagination, but (and this is un-scientific) Custom Consoles isn't crashing so much in 11.3 when editing them. I still wish Motu would give Custom Consoles a facelift, but if it doesn't crash so much anymore that is terrific to me! I'm going to try Clippings now, the other feature that ...

Note Name in Audio Vocal Pitch Editing

I must be missing something, but if you are pitch editing an audio track (vocal in this case) in the sequence editor, can the note names be displayed on each note "bar" the way you can do this when editing MIDI tracks? I actually have it turned off with MIDI notes as I find it distracting,...

Re: Waves Free StudioRack v14 and VST3 Plugins and DP

Loading the AU version, it was fine, but then the AU version only loads VSt3s if you want 3rd-party ones. This is all fine, but weird that a plugin that will load only VST3s only works with the AU version! That's kinda like the AU version of Komplete Kontrol. The plugin itself only opens VST3 instr...

"Save as Menu Category" Plug-In Right-Click in DP?

Hi! I just watched this video on organizing and setting up DP Plugin menus and sub-menus (It's from DP 8 days, and I'm on 11.22, but it should still work?); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWvvHWOcMh4 There is a section on creating your own plugin menu folders, saving each one as a category, and the...

Re: Waves Free StudioRack v14 and VST3 Plugins and DP

Well to answer my own question, StudioRack works really well. One interesting thing; In DP, loading the VST3 version of StudioRack crashed DP a few times. Loading the AU version, it was fine, but then the AU version only loads VSt3s if you want 3rd-party ones. This is all fine, but weird that a plug...

Waves Free StudioRack v14 and VST3 Plugins and DP

Hi! I saw recently that Waves' Free StudioRack v14, a plugin "chainer" that looks really flexible, will now load third-party plugins as long as they are in VST3 form. I like the idea of a plugin chainer that would allow inline parallel processing, especially for virtual guitar effects- rac...

Re: Advice on bus usage

I have an M1 Ultra 64G/2TB with the smallest available GPU core count, but am pretty sure the lowliest Apple Silicon Mac would do away with the bus loading issue. And the latest M3 Max (currently Laptop only) scores higher in single- and multi-core Geekbench testing than my Mac Studio, meaning ther...
