Re: 14.4.1

Ventura to Sonoma? But why? I'm running pretty smoothly under Ventura, and don't see anything but more troubles under Sonoma. I use Kontakt a lot, and that alone is reason enough to hang tight at present. I would hold off, there is still issues with Kontakt, which seems to be one of root issue for ...

Re: 14.4.1

Greetings everyone Thanks for this thread -- I'm interested to learn what the general mind & mood about upgraded OS's is now. I requested opinions about bumping from OS 13 > 14 3 or 4 weeks ago, and at that point the responses were pretty uniformly (unicorn-ly?) "I wouldn't do that quite ye...

Re: OS 14: Is It Time?

Thank you, Mike!

I don't have any compelling requirement to make the move now, so I'll wait till things settle out further. I appreciate your wisdom on the topic, and I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties it has saddled you with!

Best regards,

Re: Hardware Insert plugin -- check me on this, please?

Thank you for the additional explanation -- I appreciate the attention I hope that my thick skull hasn't proved too terribly frustrating. It's getting a lot more clear, and I think I'm beginning to understand that -- because I was routing the mic'd signal back to a new track -- it likely wasn't nece...

Re: Hardware Insert plugin -- check me on this, please?

Thanks for your reply! You're entirely correct in that I was using re-amping to tweak the sound of a guitar already recorded. But just so that I am clear about your explination -- do I understand correctly that you're describing placing the plugin on the source track -- the one with the DI-recorded ...

Hardware Insert plugin -- check me on this, please?

Hello everyone, and happy new year to you all I don't use Hardware Insert very often, but I decided to try it while re-amping an electric guitar signal that was originally recorded straight into a Hi-Z input. I'm running the DI-recorded signal out of my DAC to an amp, which is mic'd, and then record...

Re: OS 14: Is It Time?

Thank you!

I certainly don't mind waiting a bit longer. While doing so I can inquire with my various developer-dependencies directly. as well.

All the best,

OS 14: Is It Time?

Happy New Year, everyone For quite awhile now, my Mac Studio has been nudging me to install OS14. I usually defer big-number updates at first out of concern for "breaking stuff" in the DAW realm, but -- do you all have any opinion on whether or not it's time yet to take the plunge? Thanks!...

Re: New Machine vs Legacy Projects: What options have I (if any...)

Thank you kindly! In fact I did opt for the clean re-install route -- after 15 years, it just felt like it was time to clean out the ol' sock drawer. I wasn't aware one could cherry-pick with Migration Assistant to the degree you describe, I thought of it as being more an all-or-nothing-at-all propo...

New Machine vs Legacy Projects: What options have I (if any...)

Hello everyone I'm completing the process of migrating over to a new Mac Studio M1 Max running DP 11 and, as this glorious new day dawns, I start to see all the broken glass that party left in its wake. So I'd like to ask you all what you've done in similar situations, mostly concerned with accessin...

Integrating UA Console and DP 11 -- New Setup Config Advice?

Greetings everyone New day, new Mac, new interface. I'm setting up DP 11 on a new Mac Studio. I've also come into an Apollo x6 which is connected to the computer by Thunderbolt 3. I'm getting my mind around UA Console (which I gather serves a function similar to CueMix) hoping to arrive at a reasona...

Hi everyone Shadows may lengthen over M53, but impending doom ain't stopping me no siree! Having been frozen out of BFD3 by its migration to a new publisher, I'm in interim workaround mode and am now setting up a new kit in DP9's DRUM EDITOR for Star Drums. As part of the process, I've been looking ...

Re: Farewell to MachFive 3?

Anticipating that my early '08 Mac Pro tower might not actually live forever, I'm in the course of i...
