Thanks Bayswater. Wow I didn't realize AUX tracks were more taxing than audio, but your theory about a "background mixer" makes sense. Do you happen to have a link to the previous discussion on this topic? (I tried searching...). With this in mind, if I had say 500 stereo audio tracks whic...

Does anyone know if Audio tracks use up more resources in DP11 than Aux tracks? I have a large template in DP11.31 running many orchestral libraries, synths VIs and video. I'm running a maxed-out MAC Studio (M2 Ultra). I run a lot of VIs within DP but also have VEPro7 running on the same machine and...

Hi Michael. Thanks for your research on Mixer window issues. I'm not sure if I've quite grasped all that you're describing above, but you're obviously on top of it! To summarize my gripes / suggestion would be the following. I think the functions should work the same whether or not Mixer is in conso...

I think my template has several of these 'bugs'. My template has been growing for over 10 years and is thousands of MIDI / Audio tracks. If the issues I'm experiencing are indeed bugs unique to my template I guess that the only way to remedy them would be to rebuild my template from scratch?... Anot...

This is an ongoing issue that I’ve never solved: I’m in Track View. I mouse-select several audio tracks. I hit Shift-M to open Mixer (floating window). It shows the PREVIOUS mixer configuration, NOT the tracks I just hightlighted. Seems like it has a ‘memory’ as to my previous mix. If I then close t...

Thank you all for your input. It seems that instability and crashes are usually symptomatic of folks with unusual plugin / VIs configs. Since so many others have no or very little instability. I too want DP to work for me. I'll be honest that I've never really put in the time to systematically troub...

Thanks for sharing Stubbsonic.

Can you tell me what were the main factors for bringing you back to DP after you'd defected to Logic.? (...Or was it just familiarity and being already quicker in DP?).

Lately I've been grappling with the dilemma of whether or not I should leave DP (which I've been using for over 20 years) and move to Cubase. This instinct has been a culmination of many gripes about DP that to my knowledge have never been fixed. I've recently delved into Cubase and been impressed b...

Have you changed your Security Settings to allow certain 3rd party files to load? Many including MOTU drivers and certain plug-ins require Reduced Security . https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac#:~:text=In%20the%20Recovery%20app%2C%20choose,Click%20Security%20Policy.

I did a completely new install of DP11.13 on my Mac Studio M2 Ultra machine running OS13.61 (Ventura). I've used Ohmboyz plugins for years and loved them. However despite installing the plugins back onto my machine and opening previous DP sessions, the Ohmboyz plugs (mostly Ohmicide) come up as disa...

I have a huge bin of untitled (/unnamed) music from a client, some of which is on my own studio computer, and some not. Does anyone know if there's a software that will "listen" to the music in the bin and then find the corresponding music file (Aif) on my own hard drive? I'm basically loo...

But of a rookie question: I currently work in DP11, but this applies to any DAW. I use an Apollo Quad interface attached to my new M2 Mac Studio. I'd like to have my assistant do audio editing and bouncing of new mixes / edits on a separate MacBook Pro (also running DP), though I don't have any audi...

Hi all I've just turned on my new Mac Studio M2 Ultra and finally got my Apollo to work with it. Now it's installation time!... I have a million plugins and VI's, I store most of my VI libraries on Separate outboard SSD drives (in an OWC Thunderbay), and Intend to keep them there at least for the ti...

Thanks HC. Yes I'll see how it goes, and it's good that I have the options!

Cheers

Apple has a default location for your libraries. It is Users/Shared (assuming all Users have the same privileges). Library installers such as Native Access will use that path unless you give them different destinations. You can copy and paste your VIs to that directory but you want to do it in a wa...
