Arturia Plug Ins default to max Volume when freezing

I've just noticed this issue today. My Arturia CS80 V2 and Prophet V2 (both recently updated) open and perform fine but when I go to freeze tracks they default to max volume and I can't lower. Is there a fix for this? This hadn't happened in the past.

Mach 5 3.2.1. Not showing up in Instruments

I just loaded all Mach 5 3.2.1 and it works fine as a standalone. Problem is when I open DP 8 and look for it in "Add Instrument Track", It's not there.

It's been a while since I had used DP 7 with Mach 5 2. Is it somewhere other than all the other MOTU VI's?

Re: MX4 works with DP8.06, Mavericks 10.9.3 and 32 Lives 1.0

So it $99 to use MX4 - what other 32bit would this fix?. The YMMV principle applies. 32 Lives allows me to continue to use my Liquid Mix, Slate FG-X, MX-4 and even the original Plugsound Pro (whose library I could use in MachFive 3, but I enjoy the PSP3 interface). James, thanks for pointing this o...

Mackie Control (Grey/MIDI one) with Yosemite/DP8?

My 2009 Mac Pro has given me 5 solid years of near perfect performance. I'm about ready to let it take over my old G5's "back up/occasional soft synth host". Waiting to see if the Intel Grantley Mac Pro's are announced. In addition to needing a new MOTU Thunderbolt interface, I was curious...

New MOTU 16A with old 8Pre and 2408 MK3?

Maybe someone can help me out. I'm extremely excited about the 16A. I've been putting a new Mac Pro on hold due to not being able to use my 2 BLA mod'ed 2408MK's and my 8Pre with Thunderbolt. So when I'm reading the specs of the new 16A, I'm thinking perfect, I can still use my 8pre through one of t...

DP 7.24 and the pinwheel of death!

Having an odd problem. Have a project in 7.24 that is fairly big and has about 20-25 plug in instances happening (this is common for me). I had opened "quick scribe" a few times to figure out a MIDI part. Then added a audio track with a few more plugs. Suddenly the pinwheel pops up. I was ...

Liquid Mix and 64 Bit

I've yet to make the jump to 64 bit in any of the software that I use. One thing that really bothers me, is the thought my beloved Liquid Mix won't be compatible. I know there is bridge applications but I've read they only work for single instances. I use LM for almost half of my plug ins on dense t...

Ivory II - DP7... Common issue?

This is the second time I've had to trash Ivory Grand II and reinstall. I keep Ivory II on a Firewire drive and if I open a project that has Ivory II instances and the HD isn't on, DP freezes and quits. So I turn on drive and restart and the Ivory windows come up but the library is empty. Tried turn...

8 Pre sync... you gotta be kidding me.

My setup is 2408mk3 x 2 (both BLA mods) and an 8Pre adat'd to optical bank B of 1st 2408. I clock to a BLA Microclock 2. My 8 Pre has optical in and out connected to the 2408. For 2 years I wondered why when I change the sample rate on the clock everything would sync but I had to manually change 8 p...

I'm using two separate 2408 MK3's both inputted into the same PCI 424 card. I have an external word clock that I'm running separate BNC cables from, into each unit's "word clock in". The issue I'm having is in PCI-Audio set up. I have to select '2408 MK3 -1 Word Clock In' or '2408 MK3 -2 W...

Re: RBUS to TDIF to MOTU 2408 MK3?

Both my digital mixer and my MOTU 2408 MK3's are clocked to a BLA Microclock Mk2, so I guess that would be sufficient.

I my hope here is to utilize my mixer for overflow synth tracks and some effects and then Send them into on eof my MOTU 2408 MK3's TDIF ...

Ivory freak out, now DP Themes?

I have done not one update of any kind in recent months and today an existing project freaks out. Ivory II open but had no program presets. So I had to reverify the library. Then, out of nowhere, next time I open it, my logic "dark" theme, I've used for almost 8 months opens as standard DP...
