Re: Injury to Insult? SOS gaffs DP. New monthly REAPER colum

Here's my 2 cents: SOS is not to blame. They are a business and are simply reflecting the needs of their largely European user base. If anyone is to "blame," then it'd be MOTU for years not competing in the European market, and for the DP6 debacle, which surely caused a noticeable drop in ...

Re: Emmys kill the TV Theme-Song category

Contrary to the title of this thread, the Emmy category for TV theme was not removed, although I think it should have been given that most themes (if they exist at all) are now 5 - 10 seconds in length, and docs have to compete again primetime drama shows (always a losing proposition). From the gove...

Re: New Mac Pros: Does the smart money wait?

I've been eager to get a new Mac and may be close. Tonight I saw a used Nehalem 8 core for $2650. However with the conventional wisdom that new Mac Pros may be announced in May or June latest I'm thinking the smart money stays pat for a which longer. It's not easy since I'm dying to move up from my...

Re: Amplitude ad: what's wrong with this picture?

I hear you. I like my 335 humbuckers too. Good to switch back and forth.

What's most laughable about that ad is the idea that you can get that tone out of a plug-in. Give me my Marshall, thank you.

Re: Amplitude ad: what's wrong with this picture?

Ah, you have to be a Tele player to appreciate the fact that it can have the most aggressive, hard-edged tone imaginable. It can easily handle nu-metal. After all, it's the blueprint guitar, man. Pure and utterly simple. Hard as a rock. Single coils baby. No humbuckers to compress the life out of it...

Plenty of audio demos on the NI site. It sounds incredibly great, IMO.

MOTU lit says Ethno 2 is 64-bit for MacOS, but how can that be since Pace hasn't updated their iLok software to handle 64-bit plug-ins?

Re: 7.1 hanging when trying to open MP4 movie files...

mp4 does put a lot more strain on DP (or any other DAW) during playback (to decode) compared to DV. I always export mp4, h.264, etc., to DV.

Re: Logic 9.1 is 64-bit now.... hello MOTU, are you listening?

I see it as an exciting time for Mac users now that the 64-bit ball has just been rolled. Windows has had 64-bit for a while now, so it's about time for us Mac users to enjoy the memory benefits too. It's a very positive development for sure. No doubt all will jump aboard in due time, so something t...

Re: Logic 9.1 is 64-bit now.... hello MOTU, are you listening?

Wish I could remember exactly where I saw it, but read somewheres online about a plugin writer having problems with writing 64 bit code in relation to his using Pace iLok for copy protection. Something about Pace iLok requiring plugs to be 32 bit code. If this is indeed true, what's the big rush to...

Re: DP vs Garage Band and looping

Why are so many piling on this guy and giving him a hard time? He just asked a question about looping. So many here are very defensive about DP and are very quick to assume the worst about people.

Re: Ethno 2

MacMusic says Ethno 2 is 64-bit. Is this really true? If it really is, then it'd be the only other VI besides the Spectrasonics stuff that will be 64-bit at this point in time. This is what MacMusic says: "Latest-generation UVI Engine: provides state-of-the-art virtual instrument performance, 6...
