DP recorded some audio to the external drive and I can bounce audio files to it. Seems to be just when I save the project. On my drive, under sharing and permissions, it just says "you can read and write" It seems there were more options prior to this OS. So, I don't see anything to try th...

I got a new mac: Mac mini OS 10.11.6. I copied all my projects over from an older mac, OS 10.8.3. I'm running DP 7.24 I put all my projects on an external SSD drive. When I modify a file and hit save, I get this error. I can save with a new name, but when I open that new file and make a change and s...

The days of separating libraries onto another drive for better performance are gone. So, the only reason to add another is if you need more space. this was my main question, thanks for this and all the extensive advice! So, if you fill up your SSD to 85% are you supposed to stop using it or just de...

I'm going to get a new mac with a SSD drive. Do I need an external hard drive for audio files or is it still a advised practice? I'm wondering if the technology of SSD makes it less important to have it separate from the system files drive. thoughts? My project are small, typically recording one tra...

Thanks for the excellent explanation! Far better than the manual! I was step recording before. I'm transcribing solos. I thought to try pencil tool for a phrase where I thought it would save time. Looks like I have all the info to get it working. Thank you all very much!

I will try that. Thanks for the idea. The only popup I can find is in the drum editor which is mentioned in the manual. I'm not sure, but it might be governing the pencil tool in that editor only, considering it didn't seem to help, but I will try again. Thanks

I did and it didn't work.. quarters anyway. Now, playing with some more, it does kinda work. However, I have to enter several notes for the value to change. 3 specifically. If I change it from quarter to eighth, then stuck penciling, I will get: quarter, quarter, quarter, eighth, eighth... weird. Th...

Can this thing only insert quarter notes? I see no way to change it to eighth notes. The manual is no help. Thanks

I use a MIDI foot petal to control transport commands. This is probably THE reason I use DP You have to have the "master master" box checked or nothing will work. Could be something else, but check for that in the commands area.

thanks for the many techniques to try. I will try them all. Thanks!

Hi, so I get two sets of data when I record a filter cutoff from a Novation BSII. It come sin on 48 and 16. Is there any way to delete all the #16 data but not the #48 data? I'm trying to in the sequence and MIDI windows to no avail. Picking each one out of the events list seems difficult. Any tips?...

Ok, got it figured. step 1: disable transmit sync from DP step 2: change MIDI channel (not in manual, but same as Volca bass on youtube) step 3. Find correct notes. Mine were all one octave lower than this list I found on the internet: 36 - C2 - Kick 38 - D2 - Snare 43 - G2 - Lo Tom 50 - D3 - Hi Tom...

Volca Beats has MIDI in.. that's it. I have a Motu ultralite MIDI box, so the idea is to send it notes, but not have the thing's arpeggiator come on.

Hey all. I have a Korg Volca Beats drum machine. I've been able to synch it to DP, such that when I hit start, the drum machine sequencer starts (and stops). Due to lack of MIDI out port on the thing, I'm planning to sequence the drums in DP, then send the MIDI notes to the drum machine. This, to me...

I did start a ticket with Motu. They responded with a form letter about "glitches" and invited me to spend a few hours building my computer back up from scratch.. no thanks. I'm exaggerating a little, but whatever. Restarting DP is easy. The iMac I'm working from is a dinosaur, so I'm just...
