Thank you

That’s helpful.

Thank you.

And my issue about fader send return levels was a misunderstanding about the second small knob in the send insert - I now know it is pan and not return level!

Use Sends routed to the desired buses. You could also route the group of tracks to one of the desired buses, and use a send for the second bus, but it is likely advantageous to use a send for each bus; that way you could use the source track faders to control overall level (using post-fader sends) ...

I am at the mix stage of a long project and I have a few questions about buses and returns: 1) How can I route a group of tracks to more than one bus? I want to treat the same group of tracks in two different ways through two parallel busses. 2) How can I solo aux busses? There seems to be no solo o...

I have been trying to update the Pro Audio driver for my 8M on my Mac Pro. It appears to install but when I restart my Mac it hasn't and it doesn't appear in Applications but does appear in 'Disabled Software'. I have no option to 'Allow' the install in 'Security & Privacy' since the driver does...

I am doing some mastering for a colleague - not my normal area of work so looking for a bit of advice. I don't have specific mastering software so I will be using DP. The project is a series of albums of field recordings made in natural environments. The deliverables are: - One continuous master rec...

Anyone have a view on running everything off one internal SSD? I had always thought that media and audio libraries etc should be running on a separate drive to the application. Is that old school and less efficient? I guess back in the days when drives would struggle to output data fast enough? An S...

Phew - a lot to consider. Thank you everyone. I am not in a huge hurry but don't want to wait too long. I guess there is no idea when any next generation AS Mac Pros might emerge? At some point I will need to take the plunge. Since I also work with high resolution video I have other factors to take ...

Last but not least, the 2020 iMac is no slouch and will run circles around your MP 6.1. You can get a 10 Core i9 with a decent 5700 or 5700x GPU with 8TB storage under $6,000 (my wife’s has the $300 Nano Glass option which we really like). You can hang one 5K or two 4K monitors on the side of one o...

I currently have a Late 2013 Mac Pro with 64GB of RAM and ext RAID 0 drives for my plug-ins, media and sample libraries etc. DP is running from an internal SSD. I work in music, sound-design and film. I am looking to upgrade to a new generation Mac Pro and since I have a limited budget I am carefull...

I found that this worked but only if I didn't re-enable SIP. As soon as I re-enabled SIP my MIDI Express XT went offline. Has anyone else had this experience?

When running the Nano K in CC mode, you shouldn't set it up as a Control Surface in DP. You only set it up there when it's emulating the MCU. Thank you I've now taken the nanokontrol off as a control surface. The play, rec, stop MIDI configs for it seem to be right in Commands (and it sees the unit...

I’m currently using a Korg nanokontrol 2 to control parameters in Kontakt through DP. When I set the unit up I had a choice of a DP template or using a CC setup. I went for the latter to use it with Kontakt. I then lost the ability to control transport etc. in DP which the DP template had offered. I...

Is there any way I can route DP MIDI tracks to Kontakt MIDI channels 17 and above? I can only access 1-16 in the drop down menu in DP.
