Reassign Continuous Data...a long-standing question

In the Audio version of the Reassign Continuous Data command window, there is a dropdown box in each of the "from" and "to" sections that list values from "1st" to "20th". For years...decades...I have wondered what this means. There is scant info in the manual...

Re: vst3 Examination issue

Sorry for the late response - double-whammied by the sudden unexpected death of a close friend and a weekend set of gigs out of town.

Yes, all on the system drive and in their default folders.

vst3 Examination issue

Whenever I try to re-examine any single VST3 plugin, DP re-examines ALL my VST3 plugins. This does not happen with VST2 or AU plugins. Is this a VST3 "feature"? A permissions issue of some sort? Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: It also happens with VST2, in fact. But still not with AU

Re: Deleted Project Notes

Ah, good one, James - forgot about that and it's free and can live in DP. I'll try it out for the right now and see how it goes. (Edit - probably a deal breaker: some keystrokes don't work in the Notepad window, notably the "Enter" key...and actually it looks like Undo doesn't work either,...

Re: Deleted Project Notes

Yep, got Autosave going on too, every 5 (or maybe it's 10) minutes. I'm a bit obsessive about that, I've lost too many things over the years due to not saving/backing up. So now I have autosave, plus I keep my cmd-s habit every few moments, plus Time Machine... And of course I still somehow manage t...

Re: Deleted Project Notes

Thanks - I actually use Libre Office to create a sort of white board to track projects, I just find the Project Notes are useful for certain things, like keeping notes from clients' emails to refer to quickly without having to switch apps...but not if they are liable to disappear! So yeah, maybe i'l...

Deleted Project Notes

I have fairly extensive Project Notes for an album I'm mixing. Just now I didn't realize that the entire text of the window was selected, and I began typing. Of course the first letter replaced everything that was in the Project Notes window, whereupon I immediately stopped typing. However, cmd-z on...

Re: Track color SHADES not showing up in Tracks window

I have also had an issue recently with certain colors not displaying properly on DP in the Track Overview, khaki displaying as yellow for the track but khaki on the left, e.g. I also sent them a screenshot. MOTU has not been able to reproduce this one. Another user had it as well. Please report it t...

Clip Editor/Clip Window crash

I am finding that if I make any edits in the timeline of the Clip Editor portion of the Clips Window, DP crashes immediately on my next move, no matter what it is. I noticed it in an existing project, but I have created a new empty project and I see the same behavior there. Happens with MIDI and Aud...

Oops, spoke too soon. Still getting instant crashes when I make edits in the Clip Editor of the Clips Window.

Re: Clips and timing

Ah, thanks. I was able to set the start time of the clip to a bar earlier and keep the loop start where I wanted it, so yes, I can get my desired result. Many thanks. I will say, though, that I went though a LOT of instant crashes while trying to adjust the loop start time. Don't know if it's just t...

Clips and timing

OK, so how are people dealing with clips and timing? I am just getting into the Clips window and having some fun, but what to do with my habit of giving myself a bar of nothing before beginning a piece? Clips seem locked into even numbered queue grids, which would be pretty much fine if I could offs...
