Using DP to record live performances and/or Autotune live vocals

I am wondering if it is okay to load up DP on my MacBook (2019) which runs the latest Mac OS and use it to record live performances. I thought at one time it is okay to have another copy of DP loaded up and useable on another computer but not sure anymore. And, in a separate issue: has anyone used D...

Is it safe to upgrade from Ventura to Sonoma?

Hi, I'm running MacOS 13.6.1 and everything is running peachy-king with no crashes. I know that we have Sonoma now at 14.2.1 and I've waited to do this transition because I basically don't want to experience bugs or problems with compatibility. Now I'm thinking I should go forward. So my question, i...

Using DP 11.3. Frustrated with Sequence jockeying..

Don't know how to describe this but while using the tabs to go back and forth between Tracks and Mixing Board, something I am having to do many times while mastering tracks... I find the program DP displays the wrong sequence, usually the prior one. I fix that then go to mixing board and it still sh...

How do I remove unneeded Plug-IN effects from the "Recent" drop down list?

Hi, I want to minimize the list on my plug-ins choices to just the ones that are active or that I commonly use. After trying few demo type plug-ins and deciding not to buy, they still appear under the "Recent" list of Effects when adding a plug-in. I have no idea on how to stop them from a...

Need to know how to remove some Plug-in/Aux Inserts

Hi, I know another simple question... but I opened up some projects I did in 2006 and found that I had it set up for 8 plug-in inserts and 4 Aux busses when in reality I only need 3 inserts per channel of plug-ins and 2 busses. I don't know how to remove the extra inserts. Looked it up (searched) in...

Track Selector choices keep changing...

This has been going on since I can remember. I will click on one of the tabs, say Tracks.... then go to Mixing Board and will see tracks highlighted in the Track Selector window indicating which tracks I have showing. If I add a few tracks there, the show up... but if I go back to the Tracks tab, or...

Re: DP 11.22 now much slower to bounce tracks...

After rebooting my computer, I decided to try and "bypass" the plug-ins in the muted tracks. Doing so brought the system back to life. Now I am doing a plug-in bypass on anything that is not needed. that one thing helped speed things up tremendously. I should explain the way I've been usin...

DP 11.22 now much slower to bounce tracks...

I suppose my curiosity has caused this problem. I've been downloading different plug-ins and trying them out... now I'm suffering with a very slow bounce to disk, almost real time bounce when before if was nice and speedy. I'm a bit embarrassed to even ask for help or suggestions because I am not ab...

Preferred Plug-In Format

What is the preferred "primary" plug-in format? I've been using Audio Units, however that is not 100% compatible with Auto Align 2 which prefers the VST3 format. Don't want to switch over because maybe some other plug-ins won't work.

Re: Possible Out of Phase issues

Did a little more research with Phase/Time issues and called on a buddy of mine who records acoustic guitar. Apparently there is a plug-in called Auto-Align 2 that will analyze your tracks and correct Phase and Time issues on the raw tracks before you mix or bounce tracks. https://www.soundradix.com...

Re: Possible Out of Phase issues

I spent this morning recording acoustic guitar with M+S setup. I actually sounds a lot better. One less channel to worry about as well taking up space on the hard drive. I also set the MS Decoder a .83 so it is not full 100% stereo mix. I'm amazed to how much better it sounds. My next thing would be...

Re: Possible Out of Phase issues

Nice mics! The MK 4 a standard go-to M in an M+S array. As long as that cable is wired correctly, it’s not the problem. 2 and 3 need to match on each connector so pop the shells and look. Don’t buy into the boutique cable marketing nonsense. Actually I was thinking of getting another Prolink cable....

Re: Possible Out of Phase issues

Rick and Mike, I really appreciate your input on this. It does look like I am out of phase based on what I'm hearing. When doing an Invert Phase on the Center mic, everything appears louder for sure. Same thing if I invert phase on the Right channel. If I invert phase on both R and C, then the resul...
