Struggling with selections and just plain moving around...

I'm coming from Pro Tools (for audio) and Logic (for MIDI) and I'm really struggling to find quick ways to move around in DP. I see a lot of power and advantages to DP but I'm currently extremely slow. I certainly expect it to take some time for me to get familiar with DP but I could really use some...

Track List Column always shrinks

Is there a way to save the track layout where the track list columns are showing? Currently, every time I go to any view other than track view and then come back, the columns get hidden by the tracks. I have input, output, enable, solo, name all showing but every time I leave track view and come bac...

Re: Automation in v-rack

So you're saying instead of putting the plugin on the V-Rack instance channel, bus it to an Aux channel and put the plugin there. Aux channels can be automated.

MIDI automation should work via V-rack though right? ( I haven't tried )

Automation in v-rack

IS it really not possible to automate a plugin in a v-rack? Any work arounds that people have found or am I missing something? I've got some plugins (kontakt and waves specifically) that I've got sitting in a v-rack and was surprised when I couldn't get automation to work.

Re: New takes on multiple tracks at once

Never mind. I found the answer moments after posting.
Custom group settings allow this as an option.

New takes on multiple tracks at once

Is it possible to create or change takes on multiple tracks at once? I thought for sure this was possible but I can't seem to figure it out. I've got say 5 tracks that I've grouped and I'd like to be able to change to a new take on all of them all at once instead of having to click on each track. Is...

Shortcut keys (track size and renaming a soundbite)

I'm a huge fan of using the keyboard as much as possible and I'm currently wondering if there's a shortcut that will allow me to rename a selected soundbite. I'm editing a lot of dialog and currently I have to move to the mouse and "Option Click" on the selected soundbite (in the sequence ...

Re: Can't import a mono file

I'm trying to import it as a soundbite. If I drag it from the finder into the soundbite window in DP, it shows up as a stereo file not just the one mono file (left or right).

Can't import a mono file

Please help! I assume this is possible but I for the life of me can't figure it out. I've got a stereo wave file that came out of pro tools, I deinterleaved the file so now I have file.L.wave and file.R.wav. When I pull one of the files into DP, it always pulls both and creates a single stereo file....

Sync points

Is it possible to move an audio file to a specific time using it's sync point? What I'm trying to do is say add a sync point to a specific point in an audio file (say the middle of a 1 min clip) and I'd like to find say a down beat and try and align that with beat 1 of bar 1. Is this possible? Or is...

Disappearing Data!

Please Help! I can't figure out what's going on. I'm trying to simply move MIDI notes and data and it won't work in the track view, sequence view, or the MIDI view. When I select notes and try to drag them say 4 measures later, 80% of the notes just disappear. The one's that remain don't even move. ...

Moving regions

Is there a way in DP to create regions similar to Logic? I often move segments around and it was extremely helpful in Logic to have a region (say 8 bars of MIDI data) that I could just copy and move around the entire chunk all at once. I haven't found anything similar in DP. Mostly the problems I've...

Re: Trim tool won't snap to grid

Followup Question. Is there a way to get this same kind of behavior with MIDI editing? For example, I'm in the MIDI editor and I'm trying to clean up a played in performance and when I try to drag some of the notes around, they don't snap to the next grid line, the stay in their same position relati...
