Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Everybody: I clearly have somehow annoyed some of you and it was never my intention to do so. I'm definitely not as tech savvy as I could be; all the detail just doesn't hold my attention. And everyone here has been generous with their time and effort. I'm going to go away now and hope that you'll a...

VST2 & VST3

Michael Canavan: You have been hugely generous with your time and skills, but now I think I'm pushing your buttons a little. And I don't mean to. But I'm not changing my story. It might sound to you like I'm whining "I don't wanna" and I can see that. If the DAW and the tools integrated wi...

VST2 & VST3

Charlz: I feel like I've done all of these things. I'm going to go thru each of your suggestions carefully. Where I'm not sure about "Name the new plug-in set". I don't want a new plug-in set. I just want to use both VST2's and VST 3's in one project without having to jump thru all of thes...

VST2 & VST3

Michael & Bayswater: Thanks for consistently stepping up! I'm guessing that things are different between Windows and MAC. I don't have "Audio Units" as an option under Primary. I don't have MAS, VST, VST3 as options, only VST2 and VST3. I'm forced to pick one or the other and when I do...

VST2 & VST3

Hey Guys: The thread has gone off in another direction - more Apple/Mac oriented - and I'm a Windows 10 guy. So, I thought I would start again. I can find no way to get both VST2's and VST3's to work together. With all your helpful advice, I'm getting nowhere. Each time, I make any change in the Pri...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Michael: Thank you! This is a bunch of options I wasn't aware of. As I'm writing this, I'm firing up DP and going to Preferences/Audio Plug-ins/Set. For reasons I don't understand, I've got odd options: Enable All.2, Enable All.2.2, Enable All.2.2.2. (I didn't invent theses on purpose.)So, I'm optin...

Thanks!

I'll give that a shot first chance and follow up!

VST2 & VST3

Hey Denis (and everyone else): I'm a big fan of this Forum as well. My questions get solid and useful responses. My conflict with this VST2/VST3 situation is not being able to use both in the same project. I cannot be the only guy who sees how cumbersome and annoying it is to have to keep going into...

Re: Using VST2 and VST3 in the same project

Thanks for all the great information. Now I think I know what's going on. New Question: Do any of you use Universal Audio plug-ins? The DAW doesn't seem to recognize them, although they are listed among my plug-ins and passed the examination. If I add an Instrument track to a MIDI track, the UAD's a...

Re: Using VST2 and VST3 in the same project

Hey Mike: That was a lot of stuff I didn't know! My DAW is Digital Performer 11 and I'm noticing, with the graphic you sent, that both VST2 and VST3 are marked "Non-primary". I don't see where I have the option of not choosing one or the other as my primary. Maybe that's my problem. How do...

Using VST2 and VST3 in the same project

I'm going to come at this from a different angle: During the boot sequence, I see MASVST3 Support and MASVST Support, but not MASVST2 Support. I've got a bunch of new VST3's that I want to use, but it requires that I go into Preferences, etc. and change my primary VST. I don't want to do that! I wan...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

I've taken the good advice of all the members of the DP Universe who responded and upgraded to DP 11. My new question: Is there some trick to getting both VST2's and VST3' s to play nice together in the same project? I've got many more VST3's now and it seems I have to chose one or the other. Thanks...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Thanks to everyone who took valuable time out of their day to share a point of view. If DP is not getting "respect", is it mostly because MOTU's not pumping money into the ad budget? (I hadn't noticed before it was mentioned that I don't often see MOTU ads in these mags.) I'm grateful to b...

The Future of Digital Performer

Nation: I've been a DP user for many years now; I started with DP8 and have bought each upgrade thru 10. Now I've been considering going with 11, especially now that 11.3 is released, but I've got a few concerns. It seems to me that DP has fallen behind the curve somewhat. In lists of favored DAWS, ...
