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

Thanks. I check the effect performance window frequently and it doesn’t tell me anything new.l and the meters rarely get above half especially on my hackintosh. I’d rather favor VST3 to future proof over VST2 and I’m choosing it because. DP is giving me a MAS AU error dialog (all the time). Next we...

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

I'm total agreement with the OP and am just about at wit's end with DP. I've used DP since 1998. In the last couple years I've been brutalized by DP's instability. It's horrible. I probably spend 25% of my time with DP troubleshooting (and this was after my fiasco of trying to migrate to widows). M...

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

But since this forum is now dominated by issues arising with the intro of AS and Ventura/Sonoma…
Is this not because this forum is now dominated by AS and Ventura/Sonoma users? My own experience is that my M1 Max is much more stable than my old cMP.

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

Yet another AS problem? Not happening here. I’m sure it’s not. Until the OP posted I thought I was the only one that had the problem. And I still may be the only user for whom it happens consistently. Yes, I’m on an AS Mac, but since it’s such an isolated issue, categorizing it as an “AS problem” w...

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

Regarding #1 and #2 in the OP, since the majority of DP users don't have these issues, there may be something you can do on your end to remedy them. I occasionally have project-specific crashyness (#1) and/or pre-gen issues (#2), but it's rare. ...you are aware of Live Performance Mode, yes? I haven...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

Clicking off DP into the Finder or another app has no effect on my issue. The tools will come back randomly sometimes, but I can't figure out why. I did notice yesterday that I can always invoke the Cursor tool, even when no other tools are showing up. The little arrows you get when resizing windows...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

Has anyone had this issue: The cursor hand that pops up when dragging MIDI notes or dragging WAVs longer or shorter randomly goes missing. I can still see the arrow and the plus, but the little hand that should pop up when making MIDI or WAVs longer or shorter just goes away. I've tried toggling th...

Ha! Believe me I’ve considered it! But you rarely hear stories of OS upgrades fixing non-Apple software issues. More often they introduce new ones.

Re: Ventura 13.6.6

Why are you guys not updating to Sonoma? What does it break for you? I am very reluctant to update but I finally went there and everything I use is working ok. OS upgrades can be a crapshoot. As I mention above, updating to Ventura broke some crucial functionality in DP for me (and only me apparent...

Re: Ventura 13.6.6

I'm watching this thread too.

Updating to Ventura from Monterey seriously messed up DP for me. I wonder if this update can help fix things...or the opposite. Previous point-updates haven't helped anything.

Re: Volume Automation is now PER TAKE?

Pretty sure MIDI tracks don't have this feature; volume data is still Per Track. A irritating aspect of this... turning off Track Automation on MIDI Track does not disable previously written Volume Automation on the track. So, we can't simply turn off the volume automation while re-recording a segm...

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...
