Re: Mach 5 Extreme FX Preview

So by lack of response I take it that there's no way to browse those FX, to hear them from the Mach 5 browser before loading a slot?

Re: Extreme FX Preview

Sorry, Mach 5 v3. I meant to put "Mach 5" in the thread title but I assume Extreme FX only came with Mach 5. Edited.

Not sure what the machine or OS has to do with it. All of that is internal to the Mach 5 UI, the play button at the top of it for (I guess) previewing things.

Thanks.

Mach 5 Extreme FX Preview

Is there a way to preview the Extreme FX before loading? I press "Play" and nothing happens.

Thanks.

Re: Any hopes for DP and VST3??

Sorry James, and apologies to everyone else. It's just really annoying to try to "discuss" something when people continue to completely ignore facts. My tone only changed (via annoyance) after repeatedly watching the guy continue to intentionally ignore what is clearly true, for some odd a...

Re: Any hopes for DP and VST3??

VST is free. VST3 has not been. Perhaps that has changed. Dude, what planet are you living on? The "I can never be wrong on the net about anything" planet? It was free from the very start like it always was... With VST (Virtual Studio Technology), Steinberg established the world’s leading...

Re: Any hopes for DP and VST3??

Possibly Steinberg recently dropped a licensing fee, or maybe the situation is more complex than a simple yes/no. No, that's actually not possible. I already told you it was always free and you're still trying to support your earlier comment with guesses and more suppositions when I already told yo...

Re: Any hopes for DP and VST3??

Not really. MOTU may have very good reasons for not adopting it. I just wanted to inject some truth into the discussion. As relates to the most popular "professional level" hosts that actually use VST, the majority of them already support it. PT and Logic obviously don't factor into that e...

Re: Any hopes for DP and VST3??

:lol: Word on the street? That's the literal definition of misinformation, rumors, when anyone can just go to the Steinberg webaite where the sdk's are available for download and see for themselves. It says so right in the license agreement.... This license is non-royalty bearing and the Licensee sh...

Re: Any hopes for DP and VST3??

No personal dog in this fight but I am fascinated how people just make up stuff out of thin air to make a point. VST3 is "extremely expensive"?: AFAIK, VST has always been free and still is. There is no license fee afaict. Only 2 hosts use VST3?: By my count there are at least 5, I'll list...

Re: 2408 Analog Outs Help

Ah... thanks. So... when I activate the analog bank the S/PDIF channel mirrors the first analog out pair, which is then Bank 3, not Bank 1 where my master mix is, which is why my mains using S/PDIF for ADAT 1/2 get cut off. Got it. My DAC has S/PDIF and AES inputs. :( I need to find a way to feed th...

2408 Analog Outs Help

Here's my setup and issue... I have it's S/PDIF output feeding a Lavry DA-10 for monitoring. I have an external converter set feeding bank 1 via ADAT. I have a 8 channel mic pre feeding bank 2 via ADAT. I want to use the 8 analog outs on bank 3 for phones. But whenever I switch bank 3 to Analog, I l...

Re: DP8 Win: Go To The Source

Thanks guys. It's a bit of a new hill to climb so I'll try to focus on the more relevant bits (for me) during the 30 days. I'm going to - try - to spend an hour or so with it every other day on average (15 hours or so?) and see how it all shakes out. I do need to copy the pdf manual to my iPad so I ...

DP8 Win: Go To The Source

First I want to thank MOTU for recognizing the obvious and making a demo available. I suspect that DP sales in general will move upward accordingly. Anyway, I have the DP8 Win demo and I figured that as I find my way around and read the manual and all that I could trim some of that learning curve d...

Re: R•••••

I haven't used it since I upgraded to dp 7. But comparing it to garageband just isn't right. That's an understatement. It's very highly uniformed, the comment, which is quite odd coming from a community of supposed professionals. James's reasons for blocking the name are understandable, but compari...

Re: Insert plug-in

They're all (the various bundled insert plugs) about 90% the same. This one example below is VST3 mono or stereo and stores the I/O configs and settings like any plugin preset.

I don't insert hardware when mixing very much anymore so it's not a big deal either way to me personally
