2023 post. It's still valid advice. I'm now working with an Apollo 8 interface and low priority setting cleaned up a lot of CPU glitches I was having at 64 buffer with the new Ivory3 (piano VI with modeling, CPU intensive, but very cool). Thanks, Motunation. Big difference.

Let me just second the awesomeness of this board. Came here with the same problem. Thanks for the inside track on "Audio Patch Thru OFF." Never would have occurred to me.

All of my DP Commands are suspended while the Kontakt window is active but it's only after I've execute a task in Kontakt (like add an instrument or change a setting). Then I have to "click away" for my DP Commands to become enabled again. This is Kontakt-specific. Doesn't even occur with ...

That extra click back to a DP window that I need for my DP Commands to function when the Kontakt plugin is the frontmost window REALLY disturbs my workflow. Is there a setting I can use to avoid this?

Thanks

I'm having the same problem using Reaktor. Komplete Control gets around the problem, but I don't have the full functionality of Reaktor. It only loads presets, which then loads each of the different synthesizers (ensembles) within Reaktor, but it's not how I'm used to working with Reaktor. Ugh. I go...

Thanks, original poster, for providing an instant solution to an hour long problem!

Ok well called MOTU support to find this out and it was a simple solution...that I would have never guessed at. Go to Setup then Time Format click on the top button for 'Real Time' and then go to the top right little arrow in the window and select 'Ignore all Project Time Formats' - click the windo...

I encountered this problem -- DP7 stuff mysteriously missing -- I had to reinstall from the CD and then use the updater to get all the way up to date. I guess some of the support files are not embedded into the updaters.

Funny, I encountered this problem and fixed it by disabling the DLSsoftsynth. I forgot how I disabled it and even forget how I came to figure it out, but trust me, it nuked the problem I was having. Don't look for the DLSsoftsynth extension, it's embedded in the DP app. There's another way to disabl...

PILOT ERROR. I had duplicated the reverbs into each chunk. The fix was to move the reverbs into the V-Rack and delete them into each chunk. DP's load time is down to a minute and it's RAM footprint is currently 670MB with a couple of Kontakt banks loaded. Kontakt's memory server is functioning perfe...

I've been creating a composing palette for a client in DP 7.21 using a single V-Rack loaded with 16 VIs: (10) Kontakt and (4) Stylus instantiations, as well as Omnisphere, and Trillian. With all but 4 VIs disabled, I'm still experiencing DP long load times (5 minutes) and bumping up to 2GB of real m...

Way to go Dad. Hows the sales going? A lot slower than I'd like... No hurry. It's a true perennial. I think it will build slowly and I have a feeling I'll be doing a 2nd printing at some point. I'm trying to get it to a distributor -- the fact that it's a children's album opens more opportunities t...

When recording dynamic sources, such a a powerful vocalist like Barbara Striesand, gain riding is a time-tested approach that many engineers will use; it is, in essence, "smart leveling". A good engineer can anticipate the singer's dynamics, and adjust the gain at the preamp on the fly, s...

Here's a full review of the album (start reading at paragraph 4).... http://lifeandtimesofanewdad.typepad.com/life_times_of_a_new_dad/2008/03/review-very-hel.html Thanks, reekguitar -- yes, that's me singing, and no, I didn't use any other musicians. I played piano, guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo,...

Would it be bragging to show you all my very first piece of press as a solo artist?
