Multiple Projects — Different Sample Rates

I've been having a very strange issue lately where my VE Pro instances are each sitting around 20-25% CPU load at idle even when completely empty. Normally it would be like 3-5%. Because there are no instruments or plugins, the only thing that would result in a global CPU hit like this across all in...

Re: Stereo Playback Bug?

I think I found the problem. It took several rounds of re-opening the project to get the one-sided playback happening. Everything flows into an aux channel that contains MOTU's dynamic eq. The playback immediately returned to both channels upon bypassing the plugin. The problem returned upon re-enab...

V-Rack Playback Bug

I have a particular project file from a collaborator that will only play sound from one side (sometimes not at all) upon opening the file. If I close the file and re-open (without quitting DP), the audio plays fine. My collaborator and I are both experiencing the issue with this file specifically. I...

MOTU 1248 - To Computer/From Computer

I like to host instruments in VE Pro and return them to DP via input monitored audio tracks. I've been interested in doing a similar thing with Ableton Live, since it has deeper tools for MIDI, effects, VI layering, etc. So my idea is to host acoustic instruments in VE Pro and use Ableton for synths...

Re: DP 11.02

Rewire NOT supported by DP11. NOT SUPPORTED! DP on the Mac uses CoreAudio to communicate with RW — this is explained in the DP 10 user manual and, though no longer in the DP 11 manual, the behavior is unchanged. Finale, in my case, supports ReWire and communicates fine with Logic and DP 11.03. I us...

Re: DP 11.02. Interoperability w/Rewire

My application (not) = Sibelius slaved to DP11. WILL NOT WORK as no RW support in DP11. Matt suggested a VST plugin w/similar function/architecture to (defunct PH) might be an alt. @ 'some time/where). He wasn't more specific. lol. END :cry: I too rely on the ability to sync timeline playback (not ...

Program Changes via Keyboard Maestro

I have a number of Keyboard Maestro shortcuts that send MIDI CCs. I use them all the time with step input. I have recently started to include program changes in these KM shortcuts, as I don't have a hardware device that sends these. Program changes are a little more complicated in KM, as you have to...

Re: M4 and Loopback

I'm on 10.15.7 (the latest Catalina I believe). I have explored Audio MIDI setup with no success. I am not aware of any companion app or configuration panel. It seems like MOTU wanted to go the minimalist route.

M4 and Loopback

I just received my M4 today and I'm having trouble with the optional driver. The loopback inputs are not appearing when I launch DP. The driver is definitely installed (Mac HD > Library > Extensions > MOTUCoreUAC.kext). I have tried resetting PRAM...no luck. The interface is otherwise working proper...

Connecting M2 to 2013 Mac Pro

I’m currently “in between” interfaces. My current interface that I’ve used for the last decade will not be supported on Big Sur, but with Apple Silicon on the horizon, I’m not interested in making a big interface upgrade yet. So I need something to tie me over for a bit. The M2/M4 line looks perfect...

DP Files and Finder Smart Folders

I am trying to create a smart folder that shows my recently opened documents. I would like to create my own custom search criteria, but the issues outlined below also occur in Apple's default "Recents" view in the sidebar. Long story short, DP files don't seem to show up. This is a problem...

Mouse Ergonomics and New 10.1 Tools

I think the new hand and velocity tools might be my favorite features in this update. I'm finding myself using them all the time. I have a Kensington trackball on my right and a Contour ShuttlePro v2 on my left. It's taken a long time for me to find the right peripherals—particularly for big project...

Re: Reason 11 Studio Plug ins

AU instrument and FX plugins are working fine in DP but not in VE Pro. The plugin loads, but the interface is a blank white box...ugh. Not a show stopper, but it's a disappointment. Support tickets off to VSL and RS.
