Re: File Won't Open - overview_waveform -50 error

Just wanted to update all of you who helped with this! After some troubleshooting with Glenn Workman - we determined there was some sort of issue with my main user account on my desktop since creating a new user allowed the file to open perfectly! I was following the steps outlined by Brendan at MOT...

File Won't Open - overview_waveform -50 error

Several times over the past year or so I will attempt to open a project file that is maybe a few months old or older and was working fine previously but now I get this error saying the file cannot be opened: An error occurred while reading from the disk. The file /Volumes... (Project name) - was not...

Re: Imported MIDI File Only Playing out of Left Speaker

FWIW, I've had bus issues in DP where there is not rhyme or reason and some bus just stops working. Import the chunk into a fresh project and all is well. There must be something in the file structure where the audio routing can get broken. I don't want to extrapolate too much, but somehow DP doesn...

MIDI Controller Greyed Out

I have a project I've been working on with just 1 MIDI track (output to Kontakt as a VST) - that was working fine. But something has removed all controller data from the Event list (I checked the view filter) - and when it plays back it is not playing the sustain pedal (however ALL controllers are g...

Re: Imported MIDI File Only Playing out of Left Speaker

Thanks so much to all of you who responded... After a ton of troubleshooting, I realized the problem was isolated to one project - importing all my audio files into a new project, then the MIDI files as well, everything is fine now. I still have no clue what caused the problem to begin with, but for...

Imported MIDI File Only Playing out of Left Speaker

I'm working on a project collaborating with another producer who is using Ableton and is on a PC. I'm using DP 10.11. I'm importing his MIDI tracks so I can use my own virtual instruments since I have much better sounds than he does. However, any that I'm importing are only playing back out of the l...

Re: DP 10.1 corrupting files on file save?

I am having the exact same issue - any project (I've tried 3 now) that I created originally with any pre 10.1 version will open fine in 10.1 but after saving I get the unexpected end of file error -39. This appears to be a 10.1 bug of major concern...

Copy Selection to Another Track at Same Location

Hi, I've been looking in the manual but can't seem to find what I'm looking for and I would think DP can do this! I saw a video of someone using ProTools that was able to just select a portion of a track in the sequence editor and using a key combination just dragged it down to another track and it ...

Re: Solo Not Working Properly

Thanks so much for the responses... I did go back and read the manual - every page with "solo" in it - and I think I've finally gotten it behaving properly for the most part. I still have no idea what made everything act backwards though. The biggest thing now that's confusing me is someth...

Solo Not Working Properly

Hi, I'm getting very frustrated with how the Solo function works in DP10. Somehow I'd gotten everything backwards - where I have to Solo enable every track in order to hear it instead of Muting the tracks I don't want to hear. I Clicked on the S in the Control Panel and then every track will play, b...

MIDI Track Tempo Not Changing

I'm having trouble in DP 10 where my MIDI tracks are not changing tempo according to the conductor track like they're supposed to. I'm in the correct Sequence, set to Conductor for the tempo, MIDI tracks are not locked - but at the end of the song where I have a ritard, the MIDI tracks are ignoring ...

Remove Vibrato in Entire Vocal Track?

Is there a way to remove all the vibrato in an entire vocal track in DP 10? Or a faster way to do it than to go into each soundbite and drag until it goes away?!

Thanks!

New 828es and Distortion

Just upgraded from the old 828mkII to an 828es and having some issues. Biggest one right now though is my audio is sounding distorted. I don't have any kind of sync going on and it sounds distorted even if I turn the volume way down. Using DP 10 under Mojave.

What setting would cause this?!!
