Re: Need input for 10 features of Digital Performer video

I want to thank everyone for your time and effort to give me your opinions. Lots of great suggestions.

The Top 10 Features of DP video is next up on my cue. I'm going to comb over the suggestions and do my best.

I'll try to represent MOTU and the nation well.

Thanks!
Steve

By request. I'm sure you guys know all this stuff, but I did it anyway. The only price I paid was cracking a tooth while chewing on some ice during a break. Dang it!

Re: Need input for 10 features of Digital Performer video

Most people don't even know that DP had Spectral Effects YEARS before any other DAW had time stretching. I think I even remember the day it was announced. It was in the spring of 1995 (I think). That was what, v2? Anyway, as great as that was, it's now long in the tooth so I shouldn't bring it up. ...

Re: Need input for 10 features of Digital Performer video

Not having a bezier tool might show up in a comment your right. What DAWs have a bezier tool? Logic and Pro Tools? I think Logic does. Then again, I'm guessing only serious folks are going to bother to learn how to use it. I use the Spline tool in DP 80% of the time. It's my default tool. Logic, Re...

Re: Need input for 10 features of Digital Performer video

Polar - it's unparalleled. Only Ableton Live has anything close, and it's not really close. Chunks - chunks and the song window are rather unique and exceptionally useful. Commands window - As far as I've seen, DP has the nicest commands access. The window can be docked, always up, it searches well...

Re: Need input for 10 features of Digital Performer video

I like the ability to edit to the millisecond, tick, beat, sample etc. Me too. That's an essential ability to have. I'm not sure if Logic and Cubase allow the tick settings to be changed but it's nice that DP does. Steve, I am assuming that you want this to be limited to the tools supplied by MOTU ...

Re: DP 9.1 is here

I have to go back to 9.02 for now. I'm leaving 9.1 on my drive, but I'm not getting anything done, because I am always focusing on figuring out 9.1 when I should be using my limited time on a project. So, I'll be able to test 9.1 when I get some extra time, but that time hasn't been materializing. ...

Re: Need input for 10 features of Digital Performer video

1 - Multiple sequences in a single project file. 2 - Sub-frame accuracy. 3 - Unequalled MIDI editing capabilities. 4 - Integrated video handling with different start and stop times from the same video (reel) in each sequence (what MOTU calls "Chunks") making creation of multiple cues a br...

Re: Two different buffer sizes???

I just realized it's the host-buffer multiplier. I have it set at 4, which is what is doing it. I know there has been allot of discussion about this, but I think I'll just have to load a really large, proccessor-intensive project and mess around until I find an optimal setting. If I set 64 in The C...

Re: Two different buffer sizes???

I've noticed you can set a buffer size in the Configure Hardware Driver window, but that is not reflected in the buffer-size setting in the Control Panel. Basically you can have two completely different buffer sizes at the same time? Does this make sense, or does anyone know the difference? Does on...

I go through all of the important new features of VEP6 as if I'm building a new template from beginning to end. There are a couple of things in the video that aren't mentioned in the manual. I don't mention any crashes. That's for another time and place. Let me know if you find it helpful and how I ...

Re: When enough really is enough

People just forget sometimes and wonder if the grass is greener elsewhere. You simply have to remind them that you've got the greenest, fastest growing grass on the planet! It helps to check once in a while though. You can learn a lot in the process. Agreed. I download demos of every DAW that has o...

NEW DP9.1 and Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 YouTube Video

It's nice that DP9.1 and VEP6 came out at the same time. Both are really good and stable. I ran them hard together for 24 hours straight and not a single crash. So I made a video about starting from scratch with an empty DP document. I set everything up, wrote about 20 bars of orchestral music, did ...

Re: Error message "Master Pointer was nil (-109)"

Let's be real. The lifespan of a SSD is greater then the time you'll probably own it. I get that. But is there any point in zeroing a SSD? Isn't there a key that gets erased on a basic format operation, preventing anything previously written from being read? Sort of. Manual TRIM. Here's what people...
