Re: DP 10 stutter/freakout after (or almost exactly) 6 hours. Overheat?

Thanks for the replies. I'm running DP 10.13 on a 2.8 intel i5 with 16G of RAM. The same issue happened in last nights session at almost the 6 hour mark. A quick restart solves the issue. I don't let it cool. works fine after that.

Very strange indeed

Thanks, DD

DP 10 stutter/freakout after (or almost exactly) 6 hours. Overheat?

I'm having an issue with DP10 getting instantly glitchy at almost exactly 6 hours into a session. Perhaps an overheat thing? I run an 828X and its near bulletproof up until that 6 hour mark. If i restart the computer and power cycle the interface its fine. (on rare occasions I'll need to repeat the ...

DP engineer needed on occasion

Not sure if this the right place to post. I had considered the tape op message board as well but this might be more of a Digital Performer thing. I record bands and independent artists near Providence, RI and on occasion I need a fill-in engineer to run a session. If anyone is interested in this ple...

using dual 828x with Monterey. can't select both

So I moved everything over to a new computer with Monterey OS. Upon opening my most recent project Motu Audio System quit. I went back into hardware driver pane and restored it. I noticed then that only 828x #1 was highlighted so I tried again to highlight both 828x #1 and #2. Beachball... Motu Audi...

Re: Multiple 828x waveform timing/alignment

Thanks bjornln, all units are running off one of the 828 unit clocks. I guess I’ll try internal as a different clock setting. Logic wanted me to set up an aggregate device. Perhaps DP would like that as well. I never would have even noticed this (DP user since 2004) except I just started using the i...

Multiple 828x waveform timing/alignment

Not sure if this should be in optimization/usage or troubleshooting. When I record a few different mics on a source (kick drum for example) the wave forms are not precisely aligned. To be clear, if I record all mics through the same interface they ARE aligned. But if I run through 828x #1 and 828x#2...

Re: Vertical lines (beat markers?) in Seq editor when zoomed

Thanks for the reply. I’ve searched around for beat detection settings but I must be missing it. Can anyone help remove these vertical lines? They are a pain when editing waveforms.

Vertical lines (beat markers?) in Seq editor when zoomed

I’m sure this a factor of snapping to beat or snapping to grid or something. When I horizontal zoom WAY in to do cross fades etc these Vertical blue lines appear in the wave form. (Makes it hard to see the waveform) I jumped from 4.61 to DP10 and having no paper manual kinda sucks. Without knowing w...

identical 828x interfaces - one on each TB port. issues?

I'm looking to run one 828x from one TB port and another 828x from the second TB port. This gets me 20 channels of i/o There is some thought that i should instead run only one from TB and strap the other to it via optical. This gets me only 18 channels. Anyone doing either of these? I'm more interes...

Re: direct hardware playthrough, gone? Mixer confusion

Thanks Guys, Im considering replacing the 16a with two 828x units which would give me 20 i/o (assuming they can each hook to their own independent TB port) I can hook my AI-3 to one of them via lightpipe for 4 more at 96k. Sweetwater guy was saying lightpipe between the 828x units would be be more s...

direct hardware playthrough, gone? Mixer confusion

so.. I have been using 4.6.11 for 17 years and recording many many many bands. I figured it was time to get modern so I bought DP 10 and a new mac and a 16a. I figured it would be a real easy switch with lightning-fast processing as a bonus. Not so. I can't make the system give me live monitoring. I...

Re: who owns an 828mk3 firewire?- direct playthru questions

Thanks for the reply guys. I would imagine it does what I want from what I read in the manual...I was looking to see if people who own this exact unit have actually done this exact thing. The MKII allowed one adat interface to monitor live so I'm imagining that this will allow two adats. Worst case,...

who owns an 828mk3 firewire?- direct playthru questions -

Hello, I've used an 828mk2 forever. Its clock has gone funny and I plan to replace with 828mk3 firewire. I run an optical adat interface as well, and may plan to buy second adat interface for 24tracks of live monitoring. (like a reel to reel 24) Two questions: 1) Does the mk3 offer the same direct p...
