Sorry I meant macOS Ventura 13.3.

Poor performance on M1 Max with Ventura 13.3.x and DP 11.2x

I have a 2021 MacBook Pro with M1 Max and 64 GB RAM, a maxed-out system. Before macOS 13.3, I was able to record 17 channels of input at 44.1khz and a single stereo bus in real-time mode with 1 to 3 plugins per channel, and a 64-sample buffer and plugin latency compensation ON, and get no audio glit...

Which 3rd-party plugins should I get for Apple Silicon/M1/M2?

Which 3rd-party plugins should I get for Apple Silicon/M1/M2? I got an M1 with DP11 and Logic Pro but I really don't care much for MOTU's or Apple's default plugins. Last time I bought plugins was years and years ago, and the main ones I loved were NomadFactory and T-Racks CS but I want to kind of s...

DP11 crashes when using MOTU896HD & 828 Mk2

I have an 896HD and 828 MkII with Black Lion Word Clock & DP8 that I've been using for years with zero issues from my Intel Hackintosh with an older version of macOS. Recently I got the top end MacBook Pro 16" with M1 Max CPU, and macOS 12. I installed Logic Pro and MOTU Audio drivers, hook...

Re: Motu 828 mkII / 8 Pre macOS 11 Big Sur compatibility

Will that driver work also with M1 Macs to use the older FW interfaces? I really don't like it when companies stop updating drivers. Don't they realize we would gladly pay a reasonable fee for updated drivers, and the only reason we don't buy new interfaces is because we flat out can't afford to? I ...

Difference between all the current 828s, 896, and 8A?

What's the difference between all the current 828s, 896 mk3, and the 8A/16A series? How do they compare to Lynx Aurora and Metric Halo LIO8? I currently rock an 828 mk II and 896 HD (w/Black Lion mod). I have 8 mics for drums/guitar/vox and 8 line-level inputs from 3 synths and one KaosPad for vocal...

I love Chunks for an unconventional reason

I record every band practice in its own Chunk. So I have one single DP document with months worth of sessions, each their own chunk. Before each practice, I right-click the previous practice's Chunk and select "Duplicate Sequence." This option creates an exact copy of the previous session,...

Re: How to prevent external MIDI controller from changing mi

Hi, I've been using DP for many years, but only recently added an external MIDI controller, the behringer XTouch Compact, to improve my mixing experience. One issue that I'm having is the way track selection works in DP in response to banking or scrolling via the XTouch. For example, when I have th...

Re: Good Time to Upgrade to DP 10?

Shared resources are always overwritten by the most recent installation. This kind of thing really bothers me. I have never understood why an app needs to install a bunch of crap into the subfolders of /Library/. Even when Apple added sandboxing and containers to macOS, a sandboxed app still gets t...

DP10 being sold on eBay for $20... valid?

I noticed today MOTU DP10 listings on eBay around $20 for a "lifetime license." Is there any way this is legit?

Re: Just got a minty 828 mk II for $99

Sadly I did fry one of the FireWire ports on the back of my 896 by accidentally plugging the firewire cable upside down while the unit was powered on. I also recently friend a Digi 002 Rack's firewire ports by plugging/unplugging while it was turned on. I thought FW was more robust than this... gues...

Just got a minty 828 mk II for $99

Just got a minty 828 mk II for $99! So happy I could cry. I can finally start recording in 96khz and simultaneously rid myself of Avid hardware forever! Put it with the BLA 896 HD, running off a BLA word clock. Damn it sounds good. Objectively, I know that my converters are not Metric Halo but also,...
