Re: Motu 828 MkIII firewire with Thunderbolt adaptor?

My 828mk3 works great with my rMBP using the FW-TB adapter!

Re: DP "None More Black" Theme

I wise Ukrainian friend once told me, when we were discussing the issues of finding a band: "You know, finding a wife is very difficult. Finding a band is like finding 5 wives, and they have to all like each other". (read with East European accent)

Re: Any news on Symphonic Instrument 2?

Think they did. Don't own that though so it's not much help. But thought SI2 sounded promising. Might be able to get some new sounds soon so I was wondering what became of it...

Re: Any news on Symphonic Instrument 2?

Yes, that's what I feel too. It's getting a bit too often they do announcements at namm and by next namm they're still not out yet...

Any news on Symphonic Instrument 2?

It's been a while since they announced it and demoed it at NAMM... Although at that time it sounded like they were still adding things to it. So hopefully the delay is due to a killer library is in the works :)

Re: DP "None More Black" Theme

I used the "None More Black" theme when using DP to run the backtrack on a couple of recent shows. Glad we didn't have any major Spinal Tap moments other than that then! ;)

Re: DP and Mavericks

I did the upgrade from ML to Mavericks without backing up, everything's working fine so far. I have even used DP under Mavericks to run the backtracks for two shows and it has performed flawlessly...

Not sure if it's shipping yet but it was announced over a year ago, I believe.

Re: New coke can Mac Pro

I'll say this: If Apple is smart they'd take a page from the iPhone 5c, and offer color options. What I've read is that the 5c isn't selling all that well. Which is a good thing. Maybe then apple will stop this pastel coloured madness that came with iOS7. PS - I love the look and design of the new ...

Re: DP8 or Final Cut ProX

Adobe Premier seems to be well regarded by those that like old fashioned NLEs and are unable or unwilling to learn the new, much more elegant ways of FCPX. :)

I used to not mind iLok, but now that I'm on a MacBook Pro, having to deal with dongles of any kind is more of a chore than when you could just stick in in the back of the computer and forget about it...

Re: DP and Mavericks

I'm happy to report that DP8.05 and Mavericks performed like a champ at last nights show! It was nothing too fancy, 11 chunks with 4-5 stereo tracks in each for backtracks that were sent via an original 828 to the drummers headphones and to the Main PA. Using the Cue chunks so the drummer only had t...

Re: DP8 or Final Cut ProX

FCPX is my favourite application of all atime, all categories. It's just such a joy to use. Brilliant. New version coming out anytime though and since Apple don't do upgrade prices, it might be an idea to use iMovie for now and then grab the new FCPX in december...

Re: DP and Mavericks

Against all better knowledge I installed Mavericks just before a show... Had a few crashes in Logic 10.0.3 but everything seems to work great in 10.0.4... I opened my old DP project made in 7.24 and it had all sorts of weird issues and I had to create a new project, which seems to be working fine. T...
