DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I’m sort of in the same boat, I’ve been using DP since 1990, and Performer before that! I’m currently on a Mac studio ultra M1, and I’ve just got loads of latency-I feel like DP is not utilizing all 20 cores on the Ultra very efficiently. I’m considering Cubase Pro 13 as well, but one thing stopping...

Re: DP11 on M1 — only utilizing using 4 cores?

Mike, I've been involved with MIDI and virtual instruments since their launch. I've very aware of the nomenclature and its various uses. My confusion centered around your use of the words "instance" and "virtual instruments". I always refer to an "instance" as one plug-...

Re: DP11 on M1 — only utilizing using 4 cores?

Mike, I’m confused by your terminology. You’re saying one instance can host many virtual instruments. That confuses me, I always considered an instance to be a single virtual instrument (plug-in) loaded into the session. In other words, say, one instance of Omnisphere would consist of one plug-in. Y...

Re: DP11 on M1 — only utilizing using 4 cores?

Thanks Mike, always good to hear your responses. I’m painfully aware that each VI will use one core-even when populated with 3-5 parts. I’m just confused why most DAWs don’t have a better usage plan in place. When orchestrating, I’ll I usually load one Musio instance with 4 string families, then I’l...

Re: DP11 on M1 — only utilizing using 4 cores?

Revisiting a nearly 2-year old thread--I'm on DP 11.3 and Ventura 13.6.3. I've got a Mac Studio Ultra M1 with 40 cores, 64GB RAM. The processor meter within Activity Monitor shows 20 meters. ( I assume those are the performance cores, the unseen 20 must be the efficiency cores? Not sure--need to che...

Re: MIDI beat mapping (again...) DP11

Why didn’t you just originally in the first app, just play the music to a click on the grid?

Or, is your music free-tempo and you’re trying to create a tempo map after the fact?

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

Right on-time will tell.

When I upgrade to Sonoma I’ll report my findings here. Might be a while!

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

James, must be because you’re on Sonoma. Hmmm... could be because of that. I don't know if there's enough info to be sure of that. I can't remember if they worked on Ventura or not but maybe someone else could chime in that's on Ventura. James--it seems that the empirical evidence suggests that is ...

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

James, must be because you’re on Sonoma. All the latest HALion and Groove Agent plugs-both full and SE, are crashing DP on my Ventura system. I hesitate updating to Sonoma because lots of my 3rd party plug manufacturers warn against it. Plus I’m in the midst of a 20-song project and can’t risk disas...

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

Not good. Oddly, HALion works just fine in Logic so it’s a DP-specific thing.

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

I recently bought a library for HALion but couldn’t get the player to work with DP so they gave me a refund.

All the Steinberg plugs are crashing in DP—hope they figure this out!

DP11.31 is now available

Hey Mike, it’s a daily frustration because it occurs every day! :-)

I often move the mixer window to work with, and then tuck away to the side.

It’s obviously a bug

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

I have the same issue with another Steinberg product, HALion 7 and HALion Sonic 7. Instant crashing upon load attempts. I’ve sent them crash logs- it’s been days with no response. I’ll ping them again today. Curiously, as a test I tried loading said plugs into Logic and they load and operate just fi...
