Plugs/VI Presets/Samples Library Management

Pardon me if this has been covered, but I wanted to ask what the best way you've found for managing plug-ins, VI preset folders, samples, etc... I've thought of creating folders in the clippings window, but am open to other ideas. I do know how to change plug in sets, but It would be nice to have on...

DP 9.5 Playback Overload Spikes Crash

Had the same problem in 9.13 and 9.12. 9.5 plays for a minute with 2048 buffer setting at 48kHz and CPU usage around 60%, then the playback starts to just up and down then slams at no particular part of the song. Last time I tried, the song played all the way through and about 20 measures after all ...

Re: Wild CPU spikes with DP 9.13 and 9.12

Same problem here, guys. I've been running 9.12 on my MBP's internal drive for months without problems, then I plugged in my Thunderbolt and FW drives and all hell broke loose. Updated everything, MAS driver, DP software (9.13), system (10.12.6), plugs, etc, but no luck. It can be very intermittent....

Re: PCI Hardware Wasted...

James, I don't understand why an apology is childish to you. Maybe you can't admit wrongdoing, but if MOTU can't admit shafting its users by stringing them along literally for years with nothing but cryptic communication offering distant hopes of a solution, then they don't deserve our business. Man...

If you're still pissed how MOTU handled the PCI interfaces and want an AudioWire to Thunderbolt Bridge, sign the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/motu-product-s ... m=copylink

Re: PCI Hardware Wasted...

I've been using my Macbook Pro for the last five years with an 896HD Hybrid for more portable recording while my PCI gear was collecting dust. It was of no use to me with my portable rig. My PCI gear was all connected to a G5 which is incapable of mixing upon with the latest offerings of CPU intensi...

Re: PCI Hardware Wasted...

Yes, Mike, I read the old threads on this, which is exactly why I'm disgusted about it. MOTU can do something about it and they can start by providing a hardware solution to replace the PCI-424 for a Thunderbolt/Ethernet Breakout box. Second, they can communicate their intention to continue supporti...

PCI Hardware Wasted...

Hello gang. Been outta the loop for a long time. Still recording and doing my thing, but in a different capacity. We're doing some spring cleaning around our house and pulled out my 2408mkiii and HD192 to see if there's something I can do with these precious beasts. I moved to a laptop a few years a...

Re: DP9 now shipping.

Brilliant! I just received an email from Magic Dave who is sorting out my DP8 registration and my free upgrade to DP9. Sorted in less than an hour. Yay! So pleased! Thanks, MOTU.

Re: DP9 now shipping.

Cheers, Musicman!

Well, my DP8 didn't have a registration card with it. So there's no way to register it. If there's something I'm missing, I'm happy to know about it ;-)

Thanks again! Once I get DP8 sorted, I'll get my free DP9. Ooh. Happy days!

Re: DP9 now shipping.

Hey guys. I just upgraded to DP8 the first week of April. Does anyone know if I'm eligible for a free upgrade?

Also, I've emailed customer support, but I can't register my version of DP8 on the MOTU website since I purchased it from a third party. Any suggestions?

Re: MacBook Pro Overhaul - Help Needed

So, I decided to go with the upgrade rather than the reinstall. I'm actually surprised how easy it has been and DP is running super smooth (other than the random CPU spikes that DP has had for ages!) It must be DP's ability to access more RAM or maybe it is the Cocoa integration, but windows just fl...

Re: MacBook Pro Overhaul - Help Needed

Cool, Mike. Glad to know it wasn't a complete hassle, but encouraged you had gone so long just doing updates! That speaks highly of Apple's migration process. I'm not unaccustomed to clean installs, but not sure how this works with upgrades. I suppose it depends on the manufacturer. If I have to rei...

Re: MacBook Pro Overhaul - Help Needed

Shooshie: Are you saying you DID do a clean install or migrated from a previous version of OS X? I gather the later, but I know what a hassle it can be having those wee niggles that cause issues and tracking them down can be a pain. That said, with the best of systems there always seems to be someth...
