Re: DP9 and performance

Are you running your VI's in "pre-gen" or "realtime"? I would recommend Realtime. That ended any audio crackling issues I had.
I hope this helps.

Re: Do I dare to go Windows?

Here's my 2 cents.... I have been a DP user since it was just Performer in 1985 on a Mac Plus. I continued with it through DP7.2.4 and when MOTU announced it was doing a Windows version I jumped ship as I've been very unhappy with Apple's focus on phones, pads, TVs et al and want a COMPUTER that wil...

Re: Distorted sound when recording with Digital Performer 8

I'm on Windows 7 and DP9 is working fine for me. Make sure you're not sending the audio outs back in thru an aux or something else where you could be doubling the output of the audio. DP9 is working beautifully on my setup.

Re: MOTUNATION THANKS AND SALUTES LES QUINDIPAN!!!!

I first came in contact with Les in the mid 90's when I was frustrated with how certain things were (or weren't) working on DP and I sent a letter of frustration to MOTU. Les got in touch with me and made certain that my frustrations were being heard and that MOTU would do their best to help improve...

Re: Strange MIDI recording problem

Glad I could help! Yeah, it really threw me when I had that behavior. It never happened for me on Mac just PC. It may come back again, as mine did, and if it does, just go back and click or un-click again in that area and it should fix it.

Re: Strange MIDI recording problem

I had something similar happen several months ago and called Tech Support- they said to go to Preferences/Play & Record and either check or un-check (depending on whether it's checked or not) the "Sync Recorded MIDI to Patch Thru" button - this fixed it for me. I hope it works for you!

Thanks for posting that video James. I wasn't able to make it down this year and I was happy to be able to see the yearly MOTU DP presentation thru your camera. Man, that Music XML support is gonna help me out so much as I make the bulk of my living doing orchestration and notation work and this wil...

Re: VSL Dimension Brass or Wallander Instruments?

Yeah this stuff really takes time to tweak - personally, I hate all sampled saxes!- being a sax player there's not one sax sample out there that I feel can replace what I can do naturally. There's just too much "stuff" going on in sax performance- between bending, timbral changes, tonguing...

Re: VSL Dimension Brass or Wallander Instruments?

Just to add my two cents to this thread, I recently decided it was time to update my orchestral sounds and get some of the newer libraries. Being a woodwind player and having a WX7 I thought I'd get the full Wallandar set as I had always heard they were good (esp. from Shooshie). I can report that i...

Re: NAMM 2015: DP9

I wonder if they've added the ability to make Event Lists text and other text elements larger in DP9? My old eyes are having a hard time with that tiny tiny font!

Re: Horrible font display in DP8 on Windows 8

Yeah, I've been in touch with tech support about making the text size bigger and easier to read for old dudes like me, and I believe they are hearing us and will be working on that- btw, guys in OSX also complain about the size of text in Event Lists etc so I know MOTU is aware of this!

Re: Horrible font display in DP8 on Windows 8

I'm glad I found this thread. I decided to try DP8 in windows 8.1 and the fonts are absolutely terrible. Unreadable in many cases. I really am curious how you guys in windows either don't notice, or don't have this issue. :surrender: I'm on Windows 7 but I really don't think there should be a diffe...
