Re: Cannot install DP because of optical drive

Or ask MOTU if they will provide an install file via download? It must be a fairly old version DP if not. I'm using Digital Performer 7.24, so yes, old. I sent emails to two tech support addresses I had. One of them seems to have bounced. It is probably way out of date. I did get a reply from Brend...

Re: Cannot install DP because of optical drive

USB optical drives are cheap. This is likely to be your best bet. I feel there should be a workaround. To go to the trouble to buy a drive just to do an install seems wasteful to me. If you have the old drive, you may be able to copy the hidden Auth File. You have to show it, copy and paste into th...

Cannot install DP because of optical drive

I have migrated my startup drive to a larger SSD on my 2008 MacPro. I put the install disc in the drive, but my optical drive has not functioned for many years. The computer does not read it. I have to write CDs on my laptop. So how can I authorize DP on my new startup drive? Also, could you explain...

Re: mix with a click for live performance?

Thank you guys. I had been thinking of just splitting the headphone out and using one side as house mix and mixing music with click and cues for the other side. I just wanted to present a stereo mix to the audience. Maybe keeping it simple is a virtue. It is just finding a stereo miniplug that stays...

mix with a click for live performance?

I have a live event coming up. I’m planning on using a laptop and an 828mkII. I want to play together with a recorded back track or maybe with a DAW. Is there an easy way I could get a mix with a click track for myself (and maybe others who are playing) and get a mix without the click to send to the...

Re: Haven't used MachFive2 in two years, some Qs

When I load an old project, I often get a MachFive2 error with a list of all the samples that says "Sample Not Found - Could not load file xxx" I can click "Find All Missing Volumes", but it just seems to spin forever. I can instantiate a new MachFive, but then I loose all the pa...

Re: signal from 828mkII overloading input

If I recall correctly, there is a software input sensitivity switch, maybe in CueMix or Audio Set Up MOTU driver; set to +4. Doesn't CueMix only work with Digital Performer? I think I tried it and it had no effect. I was trying to use it with Logic. I couldn't hear anything with DP for some reason....

signal from 828mkII overloading input

The signal I am running is from a guitar into an FMR RNP -> FMR RNC -> analog input on back of 828mkII. The signal into the RNP is not clipping and I am just putting a little compression on in the RNC and have the output turned to minimum, but it is overloading the input of the 828. I checked the ma...

Cannot get signal into DP input

It is probably something obvious, but I cannot get a signal into the Meter Bridge or Tracks Level meter, and no sound. I have a signal going into Analog 3 of my 828mkII. It shows up there and on CueMix and even in the Audio monitor, but it is not going further.What am I missing? PS. Is there no way ...

Re: Trying to "Bounce to disc" to "MONO", "channels" is miss

Isn't there any way to bounce a mono file to a mono file? I tried setting the Master to built-in 1 (mono) and panning to the center and using bounce to disk, but I still ended up with a stereo file.
DP 7.24 here.

Re: How to align beats to an audio track?

Basically, I create a MIDI click track by tapping along, then use that track to align the beats and bars, working my way through the track from left to right in the timeline. The beat snapping feature helps make it go faster. The key is to get a good click track to begin with, which can take a litt...

How to align beats to an audio track?

How can I align beats to an audio track? I remember doing this before and it is fairly simple, you just click or drag to where you want the beat to go, but I cannot remember how to do it. I’ve looked through the manual and searched the Internet, and the tutorial videos here, but I cannot find what I...

Following those instructions, I found this. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/MP3 Yes, I found that before too. The problem is it is not working and he is trying to go from MuseScore to an audio file. Not much call for L.A.M.E on the Mac anymore as there is no need. QuickTime and iTunes support mp3...

Re: trouble installing LAME

You should find your answer HERE . Thank you for your quick reply. I've given up for the night, but will probably tackle it again tomorrow. The version I downloaded, from the same MacUpdate site, was a later version than your link. I wonder if that is the problem. What I am looking for is where cer...
