I did a MacOS clean install cos DP10 was not supporting Yosemite, then all the plugs n stuff. It has been a gargantuan pita but now I'm working with DP10 and I never ever had the need to launch DP9.52 again.

Unfortunately, you would need to get your hands on a dual processor tray and two heatsinks, an a and a b, to convert a single CPU Mac to dual CPU. These parts are not cheap. If you want a hot single CPU Mac Pro, the best deal now is to buy a 2009 quad ($500 at MacOfAllTrades.com), flash the firmwar...

Hi there, at the beginning of the year, thanks to this thread, I've successfully upgraded the CPU on my MacPro5,1 and I've to say I'm very happy with it. Now I probably have a chance to get another second hand MacPro 5,1 6 core 3,33Ghz and I was thinking to upgrade that too. My question to the gurus...

With stereo interleaved files should be easier cos the only suffix is ".wav" or ".aif". With de-interleaved files is more tricky cos there's also the ".L" and ".R" suffix you don't want to change nor erase. I've found a way to batch renaming audio files using ...

And by the way, when i remove each -mg form the name, DP functions just fine. It does not hiccup or seem to need the extension in any way shape or form. I just have to remember to change it both in the track name as well as on the Disk name. The problem is ... 84 tracks ... one by one ... It's not ...

Whatever the German guy is doing, that's the 2nd part of the video, you may want to watch the 1st part too:

On real work environment things are a little different. As I said, as far as I know DAW do not use all the cores as video and graphic apps do. That simply isn't true. DP handles multi cores pretty well actually. Unless you don't work on project with 200 audio tracks and 600 plugins, plugs and audio...

@HCMArkus: Multi instantiation. I know that on both Kontakt and MachFive multi instantiation in much more efficient that throwing a lot of instruments on one single instantiation. I agree with you that DP meter is very bad but that was a simple rough test just to have an idea before and after, and I...

Considering that: 1- my machine was already a 12 cores - 2.4Ghz 2- numbers are not opinions 3- multi processing on DAW isn’t handled as on video apps lets talk about general impressions and “real work environments”. General impressions are pretty good, For example, I’ve recorded some screen movie wi...

Aaaarrrrggghhhhh :D :D :D :shock: :shock: :shock: I'm still "touching iron" (knock on wood in US) and I will for a quite while but I've turned on the MacPro while crossing fingers, toes, guts and it did what it usually does …… showed me the desktop :D Thanks to James that suggested me thi...

I'm very glad for you! This make me feel better

I know nothin' about this chip stuff. Geez, I'm even worried that somehow I'll be gettin' the wrong flavour (I like salt & vinegar) of X5680s, if indeed that's possible. Me neither but apparently everyone that already did the transplant said that it's a flawless operation. That's why I don't un...

Looks like it's gonna be roughly $700 AU plus $100 shipping from the US. The shipping's bloody expensive but I reckon the box must be big or something. I found several chips in US but in the past, whenever I got something from America, I always had to add to the final price (shipping included!) the...

"Matched Pair" is BS. Just buy two SLBV5. Right. They're not microphones. :) According to what the vendor claim, cos they're coming fm the same server and because "matched on all 7 code digits", whatever it mean. About matched pair mics, lets talk about a genuine marketing gizmo...

I think they were $249 or $239 U$D, but at least they were new. In this side of the planet, prices are significantly higher than US, (€800-900 for a matched pair - new) especially if you consider that the majority of the chips are coming fm UK therefore are sold in British Pounds which is a quite s...
