Re: "Real bands don't use tracks"

I remember going to a "solo" show of an artist I care about (not mentioning any names) when iPhones (or maybe it was an iPod) were fairly new, and this artist used the device to play background tracks while playing guitar and singing live. It seemed gimmicky and mildly annoying, only beca...

Re: "Real bands don't use tracks"

I have a duo with a chick singer, we use tracks and audiences don't seem to know the difference. I also use tracks when I play solo. Anyway, I started making my own background tracks in the late 80s with a drum machine, synth, guitar and bass with a 4 track cassette recorder. Eventually started usin...

Re: Pitch correction question

When in pitch mode there are bars underneath the notes that correspond with the keyboard to the left. The lasso tool should change to a pointer when touching the bar with the cursor. If you don't see the bars, try scrolling down and/or zooming with the controls next to the keyboard on the left. Hope...

Re: Sequence editor won't open (RESOLVED)

It turns out that BIAB exported the MIDI with the unassigned space. BIAB has caused problems with DP in the past but I don't recall seeing this happen.

anomalous data
Yes Markus, an anomaly that was anonymous! I certainly learned a bit about logically breaking down problems like this.

Re: Sequence editor won't open

I got on the chat line with a MOTU tech this morning. Eliminating the data of one track at a time, testing after each, he narrowed down the possible cause. I ended up emailing one of the projects to him and he found (in the event list) an empty spot in a couple of MIDI tracks. That turned out to be ...

Re: Sequence editor won't open

Just had this problem this morning! Tried Mike's suggestions but no love. Bobby, were you ever able to sort out what was happening or figure out a way into your sequences window? No Polemarch, Mike's suggestions didn't do it for me either. It appears that once it happens with any project it, will a...

Sequence editor won't open (RESOLVED)

I'm trying to find out what's causing this. Clicking on the SE or using the key command won't open the SE. Instead I get a pop-up that says, "Digital Performer has encountered an error. Unknown Exception error reported by MotuError: Unknown mode." This doesn't happen all the time or with a...

Re: DP 10 crashing on closing SampleTank window

I tried Sample Tank's free instruments a couple of years ago and it slowed everything way down. After buying a new imac with 8 cores I tried it again and had the same problem.

Re: Why do GTR VI's...

22 frets gives you the D actually Yeah, my Strat only has 21 frets. The 22nd fret is needed when playing the lead on "Money" (Pink Floyd) but I haven't needed more other than that. They started making guitars with 24 frets at some point and some archtop guitars have 20 or less. Some bass ...

Re: Cut and Paste Audio TAKES to same track

I wouldn't hurt to watch this video on comping takes. I didn't realize the comping tool has been around since DP 8.
