Re: How do I keep a plug in window open ?

DP has Bite Gain. That doesn't do it for you? I couldn't imagine working without it. You could add or subtract 6dB to 1000 clips at once if you wanted to. yes it does! and thats waaaaay better than 4.6 which had no clip gain at all! but what if you have "trimmed" a bunch of bites.. ie cli...

any tips on analysing movies?

I havent bought a jogwheel yet ( eyes on MC mix transport..) but trying to get most out of what I do have - which are transport keys.. stop works well.. ( for when DP ignores QWERTY input ) but trying to use rew and FF - results in a bit of a LAG for the first FF/REW in a particular area it says its...

Re: just discovered?!! channel strip / mixer EQ controls

my first experience of DAW in the real world ( i had a go on a green screen audiofile in college ) was the studer - dyaxis... very unreliable and as was early 90's had some ridiculous compression scheme... then about 12 years of fairlight... which rocked - and I wish some of DP's engineers would tak...

haha.. this rings a few bells!

Re: just discovered?!! channel strip / mixer EQ controls

yeah some kind of embedding would work for me :) but if you just need a quick adirty cut/boost on a high shelf - this "new" way is quick - since my channel strip and hence gain control is in same place - then muscle memory on my wacom gets me there real quick..... ( use mapped mode not mou...

Re: just discovered?!! channel strip / mixer EQ controls

I would have likd the para EQ window to be embedabe. so it folows the channel strip as it was a total mess sometimes for me.. this is my RHS monitor - ( you may need to right click ; open in new tab - to see all ) http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii118/chapostomy/Screenshot2012-08-22at120723PM.png...

Re: Wave Form Editor, a simple explanation

for me the waveform editor was for removing clicks and pops ?

but I started just spitting files to Izotope now.. much easier...

just discovered?!! channel strip / mixer EQ controls

you know how you get stuck in a rut - working one way - like since DP3 or something? well today - I finally went - hmm sick of a million eq windows.. :deadhorse: and the answer in some cases is the EQ controls in the mixer/ channel strip. :rtfm: took a bit of setting up.. ( cos it defaulted to "...
