An Eye-Opening Visit To Sweetwater

I was reading a post on another forum from someone who recently visited Sweetwater, and thought you might find it interesting. Not only am I amazed that a place like this still exists, I had no idea that they have 3,000 employees! The first 6 or 7 posts, along with some of the photos, are definitely...

Re: drum editor note names, how?

I'm using an older version of DP so some of this information may no longer be applicable, but here's a thread from several years ago with a discussion about setting up the Drum Editor. I only track drums, and have been using the Drum Editor and the same template for so long, I'm not even sure I'd re...

Re: DP5 - what the last hardware+ OSX that will run it?

I have an older Intel iMac and DP5 works with Snow Leopard. If I'm not mistaken it requires Rosetta.

Re: Fun? with Soundflower — yea, right.

If you're using CueMix, have you tried enabling Mix 1 Return Includes Computer Output? I've transferred some audio on YouTube via Safari into DP and it worked great.

Re: Stopping system upgrade notifications

I'm also running Mojave. I was getting the daily requests to upgrade to Catalina, but several weeks ago I read about a newly released security update for Mojave and discovered that I had a download available. Since I installed the security update I stopped receiving the notifications for Catalina. I...

Re: Unwanted ads, Cookies

In Safari preferences under Privacy, there's an option to select "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking". Would that help in this situation?

Re: APFS on External Mechanical Drives

I initially cloned my internal APFS SSD drive to an external drive, also formatted as APFS. I was able to boot from the external, but only one time. After that I couldn’t even get the drive to mount. Then I found this on the Bombich site: "Starting in macOS High Sierra, both APFS and Mac OS Ext...

Re: Mac OS Annoyances

I had the same problem with each OS upgrade through Sierra, but after upgrading to Mojave I noticed that USB flash drives, as well as other external drives, eject almost immediately.

Re: Graphics card req for going to Mojave ?

Besides the cost of the card, if you haven't already done so, I would suggest that you check to see if you have any outdated apps you use that won't run on Mojave and will need upgrading. I have a computer that I don't use for recording. Before I upgraded my internal drive I experimented with an ext...

Re: Graphics card req for going to Mojave ?

I only know about this page because I was discussing an upgrade to Mojave with a friend who also has an older Mac:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208898

I'm sure someone else will reply and let you know if it's worth upgrading or not.

Paging Mr. Halloran - Please Check Your Mailbox

I sent a PM to you about 2 weeks ago but it wasn't read. I finally deleted it and sent another to see if you'd get it. Just checking in case you're not receiving notifications or your mailbox might be full. Thanks.

Re: Thinking About Mojave?

Thanks for the info. Does it make any difference whether you boot from the external drive and upgrade the OS, or download the installer to the internal drive and upgrade the external drive from there? I'm familiar with selecting the drive from the System Prefs, so at least that's one problem solved....

Re: Thinking About Mojave?

I have a clone of my MacBook Pro, currently running Sierra, on an external drive. If I wanted to try out High Sierra or Mojave, can I upgrade the OS of the clone on the external drive, by either booting from it and accessing the installer online, or downloading the installer to my MacBook and upgrad...

Re: Rogue Amoeba's Loopback worth the price?

Am I the only one who uses the MOTU FW interface option in CueMix-File>Mix 1 Return Includes Computer Output? Totally reliable for me. Does Loopback do anything else? Does this work for recording audio playing in Safari to DP, and if so, can you explain the internal routing? I was trying to do this...
