Re: Set to selection bounds

Sorry, I didn't explain it very clearly. I meant to say that, once the soundbite is selected, using just the shift key+arrow up or down (the default key binding for moving a selection up or down) seems to produce the same result as the opt+shift+arrow key combo you described. As you say, using the a...

Re: Set to selection bounds

If it takes that long and there is another track adjacent, you could use opt-shift-arrow up OR down and it will make a selection on the other track, then you do the reverse and it will select your soundbite. So, if you have tracks 1,2, and 3, select a soundbite on track 1, press opt-shift-arrow dow...

Re: New MBP specs and advantages?

My new MBP will arrive next week. I'm weighing doing a clean install of essentials, vs using Migration Assistant..... My new MBP M1 Max arrived two days ago so I've just been through exactly this scenario. In my case I was moving from a Mojave based system but decided to prep the machine as best I ...

Re: DP's way of handling Instrument tracks and MIDI

If there were a way to non-destructively 'collapse' a VI track in the TO window and Seq window, with its MIDI track (other than thru Tracks Folders, which have new implementations in v.11 that I haven't upgraded to yet) that would be an easy have-our-cake-and-eat-it solution. A key combination woul...

Can MIDI Clips follow the Conductor track in DP11?

Loaded up a song in 3/4 time in DP11 and converted some of the MIDI information into MIDI Clips. Opened up the Clip editor and found that the bar numbers were different to the main timeline. In fact bars were starting on random beat numbers. Loaded another song with some time signature changes - sam...

Re: DP11 is here!

Motu normally give a 30 day trial for new major versions but I don't see the option on the website...anyone know if there's a downloadable trial version? No and Yes. The License Manager has not changed since DP 9.5. There never has been a trial version. Since version 8, DP will run for 30 days with...

Re: MOTU DP Webinars Not Posted

As someone else pointed out, Steinberg manage to bang out two 3-4 hour Cubase live streams per week (!!!) plus plenty of other material. Meanwhile, Presonus are killing it with Studio One videos and of course there's no end of 3rd party Logic content available. By contrast, the official MOTU youtube...

DP's way of handling Instrument tracks and MIDI

As far as I'm aware, DP is the only DAW that still requires you to keep MIDI and instrument tracks as separate entities. For old style multi-timbral instruments this method worked well enough and I'm used to DP's way of handling VI's. However, the problem I'm encountering more and more is that many ...

Re: Apple Silicon event forthcoming

That new Mini looks really hot. Especially since the maxed out version is only $1,700 (16GB RAM, 2TB SSD). If the Apple Event is to be believed, between the integrated 16GB RAM and Rosetta II, DP ought to kick butt on it — and it will be shipping next week. The 13" MBP @2,300 and Air @ $2,050 ...

Re: MBP 8 tb ssd drive

Got a rocket ship MBP. My VIs are currently on T5 ssds. I want to have all VI's, plugins, and programs on the new MBP 8TB SSD drive. What is the best way to do that? Do I need to partition? Do I just put everything on the drive where the installs default? I now this is going to be a day or two proj...

Re: New user account fixes everything!!

But I like DP. So I kept trying to get things working, and Brendan responded to my TechLink. (I'd like to note that I just created this TechLink a couple days ago, and Brendan responded within a single business day.) He suggested some things, including creating a new user account on the Mac.
