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

I highly recommend staying mostly with AU and using VST3 when you have to. Yes, plugins and plugin incompatibility is the #1 reason for issues, in any DAW really, but VST3 at least in my experience is more likely to fail DP's plugin evaluation than AU. I instal all three formats, AU, VST3 and VST2 f...

I mostly use the key commands for this so It was unnoticed. Great they're logging it.

Re: The time has almost come..

IPersonally I wish I had a copy of P Lite, I would love to see what their stripped down workflow looks like. You’re not missing much. The app is stripped down a bit, but the workflow isn’t much different, except that some of the editors are missing and you have to make do with the editors that are ...

Re: The time has almost come..

I'm pretty sure Performer Lite and DP11 can exist on the same computer with no issues. I get wanting to get rid of a program you don't use, but it should not be an issue. Personally I wish I had a copy of P Lite, I would love to see what their stripped down workflow looks like. I don't currently own...

Re: No MOTU MIDI timepiece in MIDI studio...

What is “goalposts”? I did not remove anything this time. I simply updated Ventura from Apples own suggestions. I pushed the update and restarted. And voilá MTP AV came up in Clockworks. MOTU and Apple seems to be “disconnected”. MOTU (I have a few other than my two MTP) don’t give a crap about us ...

Re: Tracks, Track Selection......aargh!

I think the solution could be locks on the Track Selector, so you select tracks for the mixer that make sense for that window then hit the lock, etc. unlock to add or subtract tracks. It's probably harder than it sounds like to do though. As it stands you can make a track template for each window an...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

I have a recurring bug in Generate an iLok protected instrument, it decides randomly to ask for authorization even though it's authorized on my iLok... :banghead: I don't know if it's an OS issue? probably not. I'll try authorizing the computer because it's kind driving me nuts. To a smaller degree ...

Re: Changing Velocity with by holding down "V" and dragging mouse!

While we are here... I am very happy doing all my editing in the SE, with occasional forays to the Tracks window. So, why should I bother with the MIDI Editor window? Any compelling reasons? SE requires more vertical scrolling positioning & zooming gestures. For me, I can keep those MIDI Editor...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

NI are off the hook this time. Using the Sonoma 14.5 beta Kontakt 7.90 with DP11.3.1 is fixed, no kernel panic crash if two monitors are hooked up and you even look at the GUI. Testing Reaper 7, it's also not crashing. So this was obviously an OS issue, glad Apple got on it, glad I got the beta, ann...

Re: Changing Velocity with by holding down "V" and dragging mouse!

As soon as that feature was announced I adopted it. Like a lot of people I find velocity with the little v backwards arrows a bone of contention in DP so I was ripe for this one. Came in 10.1 BTW.

Dammit now I'm going to have to bite the bullet, this bug drives me nuts. I use a good amount of Kontakt instances. :smash:

Re: Buying DP now or wait?

They just said their focus was on improving v11. I interpret that to mean they are struggling with some of the features they want to include in v12, mostly likely the Dolby Atmos implementation. They do offer a grace period as someone said, I think six months. Are there features in v11 you need tha...

I second this Michael; makes sense for mission-critical work.
I totally know better but I can't help being the opposite. I love the bleeding edge. :koolaid:

Re: Buying DP now or wait?

It's very possible that DP12 comes out in the next 6 months, that would fit past patterns of release. So the choice depends on whether or not you will be disappointed if you buy outside the period where it would be free, mostly this is a three or one month period, can't remember what MOTU offer? if ...
