Re: Need Some New Headphones. Any suggestions?

I've been using some Sennheiser HD 265s for a few years and they fit really well. They sit around the ear rather than directly on it, so I can wear them pretty much all day and they don't bother me. They sound good, too, but they don't appear to be designed for really cranking up the level (not that...

Re: Apple's iTunes annoucnement coming tomorrow

OK, big confession here. I'm the only Mac user on the planet who has NEVER used iTunes. Dumb question - Does the iTunes store have quality audio? Something better than mp3 crap? Currently files are 256 kbps AAC files, which is generally good as far as lossy files go. In the past they were lower qua...

Re: Audiodesk 3, sample editor from ableton live

AudioDesk just doesn't really function as a sample editor in that same way. AudioDesk opens project files that use audio files, rather than directly opening an audio file and only an audio file. That doesn't mean that you couldn't take audio from Live and process it in AudioDesk, it just means that ...

Re: Can DPs Quickscribe "Transcription Engine" be turned off

Go to the Quickscribe mini-menu > Options > Score Options and try disabling the "Ignore mistakes" option or changing the values. Not sure if that will resolve what you're seeing, but it's a start.

Re: DP 7 and Pro Tools 8 compatibility?

Curious, Is it possible to read any information/open on pro tools 8 session files on DP 7? No, DP can't read PT session files. To move a session between PT and DP, you need to export consolidated WAVE files (as you've been doing) or pony up for PT's OMF/AAF export. DP can also import and export ses...

Re: Multiple Plug-In Instances at once in Mixing Board?

Is it possible to setup multiple instances of the same plug-in on an insert across multiple tracks in the mixing board? For example if I had 6 guitar tracks and I wanted to put an MW equalizer on insert 1 for all 6 at once, is it possible? I know I can option drag plug-ins to different tracks, but ...

Re: Are you guys using AD/DA conversion? What's best?

Aside from the potential improvements to the A/D or D/A process itself, there's something to be said for having dedicated converters, separate from your interface. Doing so allows you to treat the questions "What do I need from an audio interface?" and "What do I need from an A/D or D...

Re: Microsoft in talks to buy Adobe

Ars Technica had a good article about this rumor:

Microsoft buying Adobe would fix both companies' Apple problem

(The title of the article is a bit misleading, though, considering that the conclusion of the article is "Partnership, yes. Purchase, doubtful.")

Re: DAE driver is missing

Thanks, No i don't, never installed PT on my machine, If you want to use DAE mode in DP, you'll need to install Pro Tools. There's a good technote on MOTU's site with compatibility info for DAE mode showing which versions of DAE are compatible with which versions of DP: http://www.motu.com/techsupp...

Re: DAE driver is missing

Did you install Pro Tools prior to installing DP? DP's installer readme notes that doing so is necessary for DAE to work properly. Also, what version of PT is installed?

Re: Just MAS

If you pull "MAS AudioUnit Support.bundle" out of the MAS plug-ins folder, DP won't load any AUs.
