Re: Go Big or Go Home?

I've also been using a 43" Samsung 4K TV as monitor for the past few years with no issues. Connected directly to HDMI port on Mac Studio. One thing to check in System Settings/Displays: Are you using the full 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), not scaling down to a lower resolution? Per Apple: "...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Antares Central no longer works and has been superseded by Autotune Central. I had no problem in Ventura. My screen shot shows that my licenses are authorized. Antares Support has been unhelpful. If I could get them back on iLok, that would be great — except that iLok server is having problems toda...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Antares is not working over Sonoma for anyone as far as I know. The issue is that their plugs cannot verify the licenses. The license manager opens but no-go. Apple Silicon is not the issue. Are you guys saying that Antares plugins aren't working in DP/Sonoma or Sonoma in general? The only Antares ...

Re: SpectraLayers 10 is a life saver, for legacy projects

I have some recordings from a 1980's project that got uploaded to digital from cassette back when most of us only had two-track options in the digital realm (pre-computer recording days), meaning everything is two-track stereo mixes, sadly. I'm working on a similar project right now, trying to clea...

Need help with 828es silent “From Computer” outputs

I’m setting up a new Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 speaker system (with IK MTM monitors), and everything’s (mostly) working fine. In the early testing phase; no DAW involved, just playing Atmos from Apple Music. Using 828 Analog Outs 1-4 for L-R-C-LFE, and feeding a Behringer ADA8200 from Optical Out A for the ...

Re: Jumping to Mac Studio Seeking advice on USB hub

The first accessory I bought for my Mac Studio was an OWC Thunderbolt dock. I think they have several models, but the one I have gives you 4 extra USB-A ports on its back, and 2 ports on the front (one USB-A and one USB-C). I leave the front ports open for easy temporary access. My dock is pretty we...

Re: Favorite or recommended synth VIs

Thanx Mike and Cuttime. Yes, for sure I know that and I own Logic and Mainstage licenses too. But in case someone is aware of a reliable and future-proof way to use Apple-Alchemy within DP, please chime in. You can do it using the Blue Cat Connector plugin, which passes audio and/or MIDI back and f...

Re: So what are you planning to blow your money on on Black Friday?

Another UAD deal -- make a custom bundle of any two plugins for $99. And it looks like they really mean ANY UAD plugins. I've wanted to grab the Helios channel and Zener Limiter for a while, and at $50 apiece, now was the time. 8)

Re: Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V

James, if I buy the PPG from APD will it be treated by Waldorf as if I bought it from the creator? Does it matter? Couldn't find anything on the FAQ's. Thanks mate. I bought it yesterday. The way it works: You make the purchase at Audio Plugin Deals, and they give you a coupon code and a link that ...

Re: Second Mouse as a MIDI Controller?

This probably won't help... but just want to share this link as there's a remote chance it might help... I know it can do X Y... and maybe even a way to do a third controller. Don't remember. I use it with a Magic Trackpad to send X/Y controller to VI's that can respond to it. https://audioswiftapp...

Re: What are your favorite reverb plugins?

Klevgrand Rum has become the one I use when I just want to add a bit of room ambience to a dry source. I don't even create a send for it -- just insert it on the channel. Good company too; I have a bunch of their plugins.

Re: SoundToys SuperPlate coming in May, includes five different plate models, cheap upgrade to v5.4 suite from v5.3

I haven't got an email from Soundtoys yet either, but I logged in to my account and see my $59 upgrade to the 5.4 bundle marked down to $29. No-brainer!

Re: MOTU M6

There seems to be some confusion by reviewers as to the mains supply - some say it only operates with mains power, some say it can do either bus power or mains power. Anyone have any idea what it correct? Even ChatGPT didn't really know! I would like to know in case I buy this M6 or the M4. Both th...
