Re: Bias Peak Pro 7 on mac Sierra -- How to make it work

I got the crossgrade many years ago after keeping Bias Peak going for as long as possible - DSP Quattro is pretty good although a decade of using Bias Peak spoilt me somewhat. Nevertheless, it is an app that works well.

Re: Mac Studio "happier" with smaller buffer?

Every setup seems to have an ideal buffer setting, IMO. DP on my iMP thrives on 32. My buddy’s M4 with Performer Lite on his 2014 Mini works fine with 512 — took awhile for me to find the right balance. Mine appears to work better on 512 - I tried mixing on 1024 and even on 2048 and the machine stu...

Re: DP 11.2 Audio to MIDI

It works with Melodyne - it's not perfect but it can be useful. Sometimes easier to look at the notes and then play them to record a MIDI track. But it does work.

Re: DP 11.2 is OUT!!!

Essentials does not do polyphonic, Editor does polyphonic. I found that Editor is probably more than enough for my needs and that Studio was much more expensive an upgrade for some functions I would rarely use. But others may want the multi track editing etc. A friend of mine records choirs and bac...

Re: DP 11.2 is OUT!!!

The frequent emails I get from them offer the update to 5 for $99. I’ve lost track of what they call their various versions, but if V5 essentials does polyphony, it’s good enough for me. Do you need to spend $319 to get polyphonic pitch editing with Melodyne Editor? That's what Melodyne says, but o...

Re: Customizing Themes (again)

You can update AmpGui's Mellow - I did it myself - it works in DP10 for sure. But you need to provide some of the png's as 2x the size. It takes a bit of work - Andy certainly didn't want to update it which is fair enough. I was willing to send him mine for his approval and release if he wanted to -...

Re: Customizing Themes (again)

I was particularly proud of the Aladdin Sane picture I had on the top of the playback wiper (kGEPartsIconSet_PictID@2x.png). The png's need several sizes depending on your screen resolution. Copy an existing theme you like and then experiment!

Re: Customizing Themes (again)

I also did a lot of modding and posting about this - having predominantly moved to Studio One, I haven't touched this modding for a while. But I did a lot of deep modding including the counters. If I remember you can change them in the png file using a paint or graphic editor - I certainly changed m...

Abandoned it years ago - used Firefox ever since with not too many problems - don't like the latest update though so rolled back to the previous.

Belonging to a few forums, many run by the software company, none are like this one. A source of good advice and knowledge - thanks for your efforts.

Re: Is the Tracks window needed???

Said this years and years ago - there is one window too many - either the Tracks or Sequence window should be adapted and made the main window - but to have both can be confusing to newer users. But just my opinion....

Re: In praise of Time Machine

Totally agree - Time Machine is great - just got a second hard drive for backup on Time Machine - but it has saved me many times. I can also recommend Microsoft One Drive - you get 1TB cloud backup free if you subscribe to Microsoft 365 - it seems to work well too for file backups.

I'm running macOS Mojave with Peak Pro 7 and TC Electronic Powercore, on a 2013 iMac 27"- Intel i5
Both are working surprisingly well and without issue.

Good for you - I am on Catalina now, so doubt it will work anymore anyway.

Re: What is the future of DP?

DP might not be in the top 5 DAWs out there, (Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Live, FL Studio) but it sits in the second tier nicely next to the others, (Bitwig, Reap, what's left of Sonar, Reason, Studio One, Samplitude etc.) .... I still use DP at times, but I think you are way out of date by regarding...
