I LOVE DP and MOTU. What an 'effing great app. We are soooo damn lucky to be alive when this thing is available. Amen! Awomen! (just to be purely fair and all that) There was a decider so during which I was driving a short distance from Fountain Hills, Arizona over some ridges to northern Scottsdal...

That first night playing drums did suck, however. Did you ever get blood streaming down your sticks? I've only ever seen that in the movie, Whiplash , but ever since then I've wondered if that actually happens. I played in bands with drummers for years and never saw it. I mean, if you're gonna blee...

and Khatia Buniatishvillis . :P :love: You missed Yuja Wang, BTW.... Unforgivable Shooshie! :smash: :brucelee: :mrgreen: Yuja Wang is great, of course, but when I'm listening to her, I always find myself thinking "I COULD be watching Khatia Buniatishvilli instead." Then suddenly I'm click...

Just had a cool thought. Imagine working on Beethoven Sonatas, but singing the bass clef. I mean, singing an appropriate voice reduction of the bass clef. Since that's your range, it could be quite a show. Most importantly, it would preserve the left-brain/right-brain split that is so crucial to mus...

At our age, I'm not sure that technical etudes really serve much purpose other than to make you tired of the piano. They are almost always by 3rd rate composers, who probably were really players who wrote them for themselves to get past some specific hurdles they were facing. Sometimes you get the b...

A couple more tricks to make the Magic Trackpad 2 the greatest thing you ever used: 1) Wrist rest. 100% of the time. I use one labeled "HandStands." I also use a long version for my keyboard. When they wear out, I buy new ones. 2) On the trackpad, any finger can be the "click," a...

Another trick I use for orienting myself quickly in the mixer and other windows is to leave a blank track between sections. It varies how I do it, but things that are grouped logically will be grouped visually, too, and maybe a blank track between them will be named something like -=-=-=-=-=- or =x=...

The mixer is one of those things that makes me LOVE the Magic Trackpad. Scrolling is as natural as turning pages of a book, or gliding your fingers over a console till you find the right fader. Incorporate intelligent color schemes for your tracks, and use names that remain meaningful when truncated...

I'd place my bets on what others have said: permissions in the folder hierarchy where those are stored.
Or corrupted prefs or something along those lines. Its not DP. I would be dead in the water without my user presets, and they're all working fine.

Couple options: 1) in addition to the mixer, use the channel strip in the Consolidated Windows. 2) If you want not to have to scroll around for the strip of the selected track, leave your mixing board open full-screen all the time. How? Use "Spaces." Also known as Mission Control. Here's a...

Thank goodness for the diversity in humanity! As long as we remain willing to listen and learn from each other, there is hope. [fingers in ear, jumping up and down...] I can't HEAR YOU!!!! :mumble: What's that? Hope? Bwaahhahaha... That's right, dearie... just keep listening. Hope, it is! Keep on l...

Careful when you do. Don't let the Langoliers get you!

I have a couple graphic EQ plugins. I just don't use them. Once in a while I get this urge to try things like that, but with those? Each time, I'm so happy to get back to parametric EQs. But if they float your boat, happy sailing!

I've opened MIDI files from 1986. It's really kinda fascinating. It opens to the zoom level and window configuration last saved. That means, on my huge monitor, it opens in a tiny area in the top left corner, which is the size of the original 128K/512K Mac's screen. It opens the Event List, because ...
