Re: Setting Chunk Start Time(s) for Scoring to Picture

I was given a file where the scene starts right at 00:00:00 I have a little bit of music right before the first visual starts so I moved the Movie to start at measure 2 (00:01:23). I then set the Chunk start time to 0 measure so when the movie starts, that's my measure 1. Problem is, DP's frame cou...

Re: DP10 available on the MOTU site NOW....

... The first thing I would suggest is to create a new user account and log in to that. Jim, FWIW I would totally agree with Dave on giving this a try? Until a couple of years ago, I had never done a "new User acct." as a fic, but I was getting unmerciful - an unexplained - crashes with 9...

Re: DP10 available on the MOTU site NOW....

Thinking about chunk folders ...Whhat could be more essential than a way to keep those sequences organized and easily manipulated in a variety of ways? Yep, to me this one and more bounce options are the main deals, everything else pales in comparison. excellent idea, guys....albeit not a new one? ...

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?

...Per your post above williem, I did find an old prefs folder and trashed it, but it didn't help any of my issues. yeah, teh only thing that trashing it did for me was to fix my "Opt-Drag" issue. All of the other issues you guys have been mentioning here, I'm also experiencing. At this p...

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?

...Another issue I'm having (and possibly a bug) is that dragging MIDI, constrained or not, from track to track in the SE in DP10 always makes a copy of the data, as if I were Option-dragging. In DP9 MIDI is simply moved when you drag it to another track without a modifier pressed. Anyone else expe...

Re: SONG and tempo

I like your quote about composing and engineering! hey jon! if that's for me, thanks for that! I had the extraordinary opportunity many years ago to do a recording of some of my work with a fellow who was well on his way to becoming an industry legend. I just stood back, amazed, and watched him wor...

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?

so fwiw, I got a great guy from MOTU tech on the phone yesterday a.m. first thing he did was to verify the problem as i had described it. then, he accessed my screen(s) and, sure enough, he could not "opt-drag" any MIDI data. after we had backed up a couple of files - - custom bindings, et...

Re: SONG and tempo

I think the reason MOTU had chosen the term "Song Chunk" was that at the time, devices like sequencers and drum machines would have "song mode" where patterns were chained into meta objects. jon, I hadn't even made that connection, but of course you are correct and that probably...

Re: DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?

and the big winner was.....
a folder full of "com.motu" preference files, hanging around from previous installs.

Re: SONG and tempo

So Bays, when you said I think this is the major flaw in the Song window. It should be possible for each Chunk to play according to its own tempo track. you were talking about playing Chunks "vertically"? My apologies - - I thought you meant "linearly". Sorry I jumped in with a ...

DP 10 : can't copy MIDI data in Tracks?

hi all, this one could be a deal-breaker for me... I've recorded a few bars of MIDI data in a single track of an Instrument track in the Tracks (Overview) window. records fine, plays back fine. Now, if I select a couple of bars - - little single-fingered white glove shows up - - , then press Option ...
