So, I bought a new Kontakt instrument for Black Friday and I load it up into DP, and WTF ? The levels are really low! And I’m thinking, “What kinda jackass-ed programming is this?” But then I notice that the MIDI fader on that track is pulled way down. So I pull it back up to 127. But, then WTF , it...

You got all that? :lol: I welcome any discussion on this topic! :mrgreen: I think so. I'll have to do some more reading. From the little I've seen before this thread, I thought IDAM was a iOS feature, and because of that, it would use some method of syncing to mac OS, so latency would not be an iss...

I'll mention Music IO by Power Trio (which was a collaborative effort from Confusion, Audeonic, and Secret Base-- all solid developers). Unfortunately, recent reviews suggest it might require a maintenance update. I wouldn't recommend buying it until they fix it. MusicIO was the best, my favorite f...

This is great stuff. Thanks. Does Studiomux deal with latency effectively? Short answer: To the extent that latency has been an issue, Studiomux seems to be the better option. (One of the reasons why I still prefer it over IDAM.) Longer answer: In general, latency is not an issue. However, I have f...

Another option is to use the inexpensive third-party app, Studiomux. It takes a different approach, using a plugin that you load into a DP instrument track, instead of the iPad as a hardware driver as in IDAM. Before IDAM, Studiomux was the main solution for using an iPad in your DAW, and it still o...

As some of you may know, I've been making tracks in DP for the last couple of years using my iPad as an external instrument. There are many excellent apps out there nowadays, most of them 10 times less expensive than desktop VIs. Since Apple implemented IDAM (Inter Device Audio MIDI) some time back,...

Also, the $600 you got back from Amex is actually $300 after you deduct the 3 years of annual fees you paid during that time (assuming $100/yr, don’t know what their annual fee actually is) . There is no annual fee with my Amex card and no interest as I pay it off before the bill arrives. But that ...

More importantly, Amex extends the original manufacturer warranty an extra year. I bought a $600 laser printer with a two year warranty. Amex extended that to three years. Two weeks before the three year period ended, the printer died. Amex credited me the $600! On top of that, I was able to get th...

If you act fast (expires 9-24-18), and have good credit, Sweetwater is offering a $50 gift card, if you are approved, which you could then use to purchase the DP upgrade from them. This is the only way I know to get any discount on the standard $195 upgrade fee.

That’s why I always pay for stuff with American Express. If anything goes wrong and the seller won’t make good, Amex will open an inquiry and credit your acct. Every credit card company will do this for you. All you have to do is call them and tell them you wish to dispute a certain charge. They im...

I haven’t tried it yet myself, but have been tempted to drop the $29 just for Alchemy.

This video by David Das covers the routing. From 2015, so don’t know if anything has changed since then.

Oh... I highly recommend watching the Rig Rundown video on YouTube where they're interviewing Brian's guitar tech. Really interesting! Yup. Watched that one before the one in the link I posted above. Between the two, pretty much anything you could ever want to know. At one point the tech says somet...

Well, I can’t believe I’m back here again, but I have to say that, although I haven’t thought about Brian May in years, this thread sent me down a YouTube tunnel on and off for the last several weeks (like so often happens now), and there are a lot of great videos... but this one — which is quite lo...

I did actually lose a take or two by stepping back in the undo history and then doing other stuff. It was in the middle of a long session and I was punchy and way overdue for a break, and I must have tugged on the cord slightly as I was hitting stop. And it must have dislodged the plug just right to...
