MIDI track behaving like audio track?

OK, here's a weird one. DP 9.51 I got a project in which there are 2 MIDI tracks. I recorded the 2 tracks at 92 bpm, slower than the final tempo. Finished the 2nd track, increased the tempo to 106 bpm. The first track, targeting an outboard synth, speeds up and locks to the new tempo, no problem, li...

Re: The Robb Report Aug. '18

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a “Time Scale” tool, available from the tool pallette, where you could scale a soundbite graphically and it would stretch or shrink to whatever length you’ve chosen... How would that be different from just dragging the upper left or right corner of the soundbite? It...

The Robb Report Aug. '18

OK, how it works: I keep a text file open as I work with DP, jotting down exciting and extremely interesting thoughts about the experience. AS per yoush, no attempt has been made to edit for spelling, grammar, or style, and of course fact-checking or just looking in the damn manual is not in the wor...

Re: Robb Report April '18

Lotta good content here, and thanks folks...will look everything over more painstakingly with some time, but will mention that that "Favorites" Category in the Effects list is, of course, quite doable...one of those "as soon as I hit Send, I got ta thinkin'..." kinda deals. Somet...

Robb Report April '18

OK, for you newbies, or just folks who failed to give a flying f**k the previous 123 times I've done this, I keep a text file open while I work in DP, jotting down thoughts and observations, questions and ruminations, etcetera etcetera. Every so often, I spew this crap onto this forum, hoping to gar...

The Robb Report January '18

OK, first one of the new year. AS you may be sick to death of reading, I keep a text file open while I work in DP, jotting down ruminations, commentary, rude body noises, etc. Not responsible for errors in spelling, grammar, facts, judgement, or anything I probably could've looked up in the manual i...

Autosave question...

Just wondering: I've got Autosave set for 9 minutes (so it will Autosave 1 minute before the screensaver kicks in. "Screensaver?", you say, "what is this, 1993?" Hey, old habits die hard...)... Anyways, I got wondering, does DP Autosave wait for any sort of Idle period? Or will i...

OK, most of you know the deal here: I keep a text file open while I work in DP, jotting down random thoughts and such. Every once so often, I deposit a load here. Go ahead, get THAT image outa your head. Apologies for errors in spelling, grammar, and/or logic.... DP 9.1, El Capitan, 2009 Mac Pro 8-C...

I don't think so. Nothing visible, anyways. Maybe one of those hidden ascii characters got in there somehow. That's a puzzler, enough so that I may drag an old copy out of Time Machine if I get some time...

Re: Tracks Window view problem (probably simple....)

And...Fixed! Well, not "Fixed", exactly. "Dealt With". I had the Track Selector set up as a tab, off to the side of the Consolidated. The TS was showing the same thing, ie., folders but no data tracks. Just poking around, I closed all tabs, including the Channel Strip and the TS....

Re: Tracks Window view problem (probably simple....)

So hit the cmd-f key and fix the view filter. View Filter's set up to my preferred settings - basically, everything's in view (including all automation), except for Off Velocities (I just tried it again using "Set All" in the VF, same result). I thought I might be looking at a disabled Ch...

Tracks Window view problem (probably simple....)

Quick question: I've got a chunk loaded, one I've been working on for a while now. All of a sudden, in the Tracks Window, I see folders and sub-folders, but no actual tracks, either MIDI or Audio. The chunk is play enabled, View Filter is set to my normal settings. Another chunk, an earlier version ...

OK, as you might remember, I keep a text file open as I work with DP, jotting down thoughts as they come to me. Every so often, I spew these thoughts out into the Ozone, where they serve to enlighten - well, actually, no one in particular, really. But the doctors are telling me it might help with th...
