Re: Meters

iZotope's InSight 2 also uses more resources than I'd expect. Bayswater may be right. There may be more going on with accurate metering than I realize. In many cases FabFilter's Pro-L2 has all the metering I need.

Re: How do I move to a new user account on the same Mac?

Do you have to option of backdating the whole kaboodle using Time Machine, to when the problem was not present? I just did that on a Mac that had endless issues, and put it back 5 years. It took a few days. The first thing it did was ask me if I wanted to update Little Snitch. I don't think so. It ...

Re: How do I move to a new user account on the same Mac?

Thanks Mike! This is all good info, but it makes simply setting up a new account sound like an easier, more practical solution. It's definitely not a DP pref issue. MOTU Support had me do the steps you advise, but even with fresh prefs the issue came back immediately....this all started when I upgra...

How do I move to a new user account on the same Mac?

Due to some weird bug, I've been working without benefit of being able to see any of DP's pallet or smart-tools for the last couple of months. The only way to get them back is to run DP in a new user account. However the fresh user account doesn't have any of my system preferences - which I now real...

Re: Reverse reverb in DP's effects?

For the classic “Money, Money, Money” reverse, reverb, sound effect: 1. Reverse a copy of the soundbite (via Reverse with apply-soundbite) 2. Apply any reverb plugin to the reversed soundbite via apply-soundbite 3. Now reverse that soundbite I normally apply 100% wet reverb to the reverse soundbite,...

Re: DP11.3 Sequence Editor MIDI Note Visibility while editing note duration

I’m seeing this too, but only intermittently. I’m a MoTools theme user too. Haven’t investigated other themes to see if they do it. I’ll do so next time it crops up. I also have an ongoing issue where my cursor tools often disappear. Between not being able to see the MIDI note I’m editing and not ha...

I just watched the replay from yesterday’s webinar. Did you catch what bug fix Matt inadvertently revealed, Michael? I didn’t understand.

Re: MOTU not exhibiting at 2024 NAMM?

I wonder if this is because the hardware side is having supply chain issues still. It might not make sense to be there without any new hardware products.

Re: Plug-in Sales and Special Deals Sticky Topic

I recently discovered Decent Samples. Tons of interesting and useful free and cheap sample libraries that load into their free Decent Sampler - which lets you easily browse and download their catalog from within the VI. The Decent Sampler seems a-okay with DP. https://www.decentsamples.com/?orderby=...

Re: Disappearing Cursor Tools

Maybe you’re right. I’m not sure I’ve ever done it. Maybe be there’s an easy way. Right now it feels like I’m using someone else’s Mac when I log into the new user account. It seems like a lot of customization will need to be redone. None of my system or app prefs are there. Several VIs can’t find t...

Re: Disappearing Cursor Tools

The tools disappeared again today. Messing with prefs didn't help :( MOTU support suggested seeing if the problem occurred on a new user account. I set one up and so far I have not been able to get the issue to show up - however, the test account doesn’t really allow me to do actual work (setting up...

Re: Disappearing Cursor Tools

Good idea. Apart from Tool Pallet Options there's Cursor Selection Mode option prefs. Next time it happens I'll mess around with these prefs....one of the weird things is that sometimes I don't have the issue all day. today is one of those days.

I assume you mean hide the Tool Pallet by accident. I don't think there's a way make the tool icons invisible on purpose. ...again, I still have the tool behaviors, but the tools become invisible.

Disappearing Cursor Tools

Since updating to Ventura I consistently lose the tool icons after working for a few minutes of working in DP on new and old projects (although sometimes it’s hours). The tool behaviors are there, but both the smart tools and pallet tools don’t show. Relaunching DP usually corrects it, but often I j...

Re: Issues with DP after moving to Ventura

I've learned to live with the slow DP launches that started when I updated to Ventura (the 11.23 DP update didn't help btw), but the other issue that began when I updated is impeding my workflow. Since updating to Ventura I lose the smart tools graphics intermittently while working. The tool behavio...
