Re: Custom key commands - a cautionary tale

But, anyway, the quick fix was to uncheck Master Master in the commands window. Thinking back, I think this was actually what happened in my case. I had checked the "Master Master" box as I was playing around with the commands window. Based on others' comments, I think that F# command was...

Re: Custom key commands - a cautionary tale

HOLY GUACAMOLE! I've been living with a "broken" F#2 key on my MIDI keyboard for several years. I just checked the DP Command window and sure enough, that note was assigned to "Master Sequence"?? I believe. I deleted it and now the note plays on my keyboard! AMAZING! I don't use...

Custom key commands - a cautionary tale

Hi folks; Just had an experience that I thought I'd relate in case this happens to you. I recently noticed that one of the keys (F#3) on my MIDI controller was no longer recording MIDI data into DP. Just the one note. My first thought was that my controller had a problem, most likely a guitar pick t...

Re: Fine tune Audio I/O Timing

I've spent a lot of time with these calibrations. Until I discovered them, I drove myself nuts sliding audio around to recover takes that were recorded right in the pocket but had shifted upon playback. The audio recording latency calibration worked fine (where you loop back an audio sample and comp...

Re: Love the new Cuemix SW!

Hi just saw your question. Unfortunately, I can't answer it directly. I don't use my MIDI controller to control the Ultralite. if I need to tweak anything I just open up cuemix and do it from the GUI. Sorry!

Clearing sends on multiple channels

I wanted to save a recently completed song as a template. To "zero the board", so to speak, I created a new mix (which cleared out all the plug-ins on my inserts), but all my send assignments and settings were still there. I read through the manual and did some searching but couldn't find ...

Love the new Cuemix SW!

Just a note of appreciation - I got a new Ultralite mk5 this morning, replacing an Ultralite mk3 Firewire I've had for years (and is no longer compatible with Monterey). The hardware was pretty much plug and play, I do like the new metering and that both mic inputs are on the front panel. It sounds ...

Re: Computer migration and MOTU legacy equipment

Just to close out the topic, the MIDI express USB driver did work with my old micro express, but the Ultralite Mk3 Hybrid driver did not work with my firewire mk3. I ordered an Ultralite mk5, I'm sure it will be a nice additional upgrade.

Re: Computer migration and MOTU legacy equipment

Thank you, Mike, I appreciate the reply. The install read.me says that the Monterey Ultralite mk3 Hybrid driver does not support firewire only units, but its worth a try!

Re: Computer migration and MOTU legacy equipment

I should add that I already ordered enclosures for my SSDs and PCIe cards that I will need - that 128GB hard drive in the MacBook Pro won't cut it.

Computer migration and MOTU legacy equipment

Hi folks. TL;DR Does MOTU intend to update drivers for the Ultralite Mk3 and/or Micro Express to work with Monterey, or is there some other work-around? The story: Until recently, I have been running Mojave on a 4,1 Mac Pro (spoofed to 5,1), and needed to upgrade to Big Sur due to an incompatibility...

Re: Favorite Mixing Plugins Video... includes some good ideas...

I have been watching videos by Dan Worrall. He did a few training videos on using Falcon that were really good and helped me get up to speed. He's also done several of them for Fabfilter and other plugins, and what's he's been able to do with them is pretty amazing - I would never have thought of so...

Re: Plug-in Sales and Special Deals Sticky Topic

I picked up this bundle. I was impressed with the bx_oberhausen synth. I wasn't looking for another synth, I was more interested in that Shadow Hills EQ, but I thought as long as it was there, I'd just try it out. Next thing you know, an hour went by... fun VI!
