Re: Really Interesting new MIDI Controller

Were they able to make a glass display with holes and rotary push encoders poking through them? That's crazy!

Re: Samples Don't Play Accurately On Fast Parts -DP and Musio Strings

I wasn't able to tell from the example, but do the "missing" notes happen if there is a repeated note (of the same pitch)? If so, that may be related to a DP bug that we've discussed pretty extensively. As a test, you can put an insert effect on the MIDI track to change duration and subtra...

Re: New Mac: Loud crackling driving me mad

Try a different USB cable? Check sample rate settings? Increase buffer size? I'm just guessing.

Sixth Sample: SpotOn vocal tuner (and others)

I just saw a little demo for a free, simple, and pretty effective vocal tuner called Spoton. https://sixthsample.com/spoton/ Could be useful when one just wants a simple "touch-up" tuning. There are other free and pay plugins on this developer's site, including dynamics, distortion, filter...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I've had click and tap tempo behave stupidly/sluggishly. But not lately (admittedly, I've not used tap tempo in a while).

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

Sounds like a bug, but I suppose it is possible that there could have been some logic like bring back up the previous track selections-- so you could adjust them more. I could understand that, if the mixer was already open in the background, and you just brought it forward. But if the mixer was clos...

Re: Building an External Music Studio Building

I taught music in a cube-shaped space, and was able to improve the standing-wave problems by using large plywood panels at various angles. So if your budget requires a simpler structure with parallel walls, it's not the end of the world. The hardest/most-expensive part is isolation, so you'll just h...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I still can't understand why someone would want a note that is zero ticks long? Is it even possible to create a note (MIDI Event) like that. That's essentially a note with zero duration. Which is functionally no note at all. Seems like a DAW shouldn't even allow that as a possibility? It's not that...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

For the people getting no notes, consider how your plugin might handle a note that is zero or 1 tick long. For those asking why this matters: I often use DP for composition and arrangement. I quantize note starts and ends so that the durations look right in notation. I mostly edit in the graphic edi...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I resuscitated my old techlinks on this topic. Is it better for me to start a fresh one?

Oh, as a side note, DP crashed three times while I was turning on VST versions of instruments.

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

Oh and for me the buggy behavior was certain notes just didn't play at all when I had True Pianos loaded. I think that is because some VI's might have different "release" characteristics. So what you're hearing when a note is shorted is the release portion. It's weird, because I'd expect ...

Nah. I'm pretty confident it CAN be solved. I was just barking up the wrong tree and adding noise.

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I just updated my TechLink at MOTU. I decided to add a note about how much I don't like that now even the scrub bar snaps to the grid (Ugh!! at long last, have they no decency?!) Here's a project. It has a Pianoteq 8 track already enabled, so you might have to swap that out. https://www.jonstubbsmus...

Re: Motu M2 Issue with Siri and Dictaion

Yea, I think that was a red herring. My interface shows all the faders zeroed out, because Core Audio does not have control over those levels-- which are handled by the device and it's mixer/config panel. But that doesn't mean that the input is not receiving signal-- just means CoreAudio can't contr...
