Re: Time Machine Disallows Back-Up of TWO SSDs on MacPro

Hello Mike, Sorry for the confusion: I had given you only capacity without actual data: Here are the results of Get Info for each drive, respectively: SSD Name: "Primary" -- this my boot disk and the only one which seems to be addressed via Time Machine / Time Capsule. Format: APFS Capacit...

Re: Time Machine Disallows Back-Up of TWO SSDs on MacPro

Hello Mike, Despite my new AirPort/Time Capsule's data size being 3TB, the combined data size of my two SSDs totals 4TB, although I have no intentions of loading my SSDs to their full respective capacities. At present, my two SSDs are approximately 50-60% filled, each. Before changing to High Siera,...

Time Machine Disallows Back-Up of TWO SSDs on MacPro

Having just purchased a 3TB Air Port Time Capsule, I find that Time Machine does NOT allow me to back up my secondary 2TB SSD. After having completed backup, my Secondary SSD seems not to be accessed in Time Machine/Time Capsule. Time Machine preferences seems to allow one to EXCLUDE the Secondary S...

Re: DP9 MAC TUTOR IN CHICAGO AREA

Joe - I see that this is likely going to involve significant software expense. Also, what do you consider "high-powered" enough? Will an i7 MacMini with 16gb RAM suffice? Thanks again for your help! The only way to tell whether your computer setup will suffice ... would be to try it. Cert...

Re: DP9 MAC TUTOR IN CHICAGO AREA

Ahhh!!! DP 9.5 is "just the thing" you need in order to render classical compositions in ways that sound more natural, and less mechanical. You see, notation programs generally don't "breathe" in terms of tempi. However, DP's tap tempo function will allow you to tap some life int...

Re: DP9 MAC TUTOR IN CHICAGO AREA

Hello Mr. Composerm23, I happen to reside in the Chicagoland area, and have been an active (almost daily) user of Mac Digital Performer (DP3 through DP9.5.2), and its predecessor MOTU Performer (versions 5 and 6), almost 25 years. Since DP is such a versatile DAW, may I ask what kinds of tasks are y...

Re: High Sierrra

Hello All, Prior to the latest DP upgrade, whenever I would launch Digital Performer after having restarted my MacPro, I was presented with yet another sign-in window asking for my name, email address and S/N before being able to open DP. All of that has changed ... for the better. Now that I have u...

Re: DP 9.13 Hangs Up during Tap Tempo -- Might Shooshie know

Thanks Mr. Shooshie, I shall give the 400bpm initial tempo a try -- somehow, I remember that having been said a number of years ago. Yes, I disengage all plug-ins as a matter of practice with tap tempo. I even thought of "heavily quantizing" the notes of the piano MIDI file, BEFORE attempt...

DP 9.13 Hangs Up during Tap Tempo -- Might Shooshie know?

When using Tap Tempo, I find that DP 9 (and earlier versions also had this condition) seems not able to keep up with my tapping. Originally, I thought my Mac Pro's CPU wasn't up to the task, but the same thing still happens with a 12-core Intel ZEON @3.33GHz per core, hyperthreaded to 24 cores, mach...

Scissors Tool Inoperable in MIDI Editor -- SOLVED --

Hello All, Within the past week, I've noticed that the Scissors Tool does not sever notes as it used to do in the past. The Scissors Tool is clearly visible and I am able to click on it and the icon changes to the normal scissors icon. Everything seems the same, except that the scissors cut is not b...

WD 600GB Velociraptor in MacPro?

Hello All, Does anyone know if the new 600GB WD Velociraptor (WD6000HLHX) will physically fit into the drawer of a MacPro without having to purchase separate electrical connection hardware? I recall having to purchase a special "G" version of the 300GB Velociraptor, because the electrical ...

Apple-S Re-Launches Finder

Hello All, Upon installing Mac OSX 10.6, I must have inadvertently created a shortcut that causes the screen to go completely blue, and then relaunch the Finder. My system is a first generation Intel Quad MacPro that seemed to work fine for the past two years until now. Specifically, when I am in MS...

Re: Advice on Raptor size

Hello Accmd, By all means, do go for the larger Raptor capacity. I have a quad-core MacPro with three 150GB Raptors (before the Velociraptors were available) in addition to the system HD. After owning the computer a little over a year, I am seriously considering replacing at least one or two Velocir...
