Re: Wide Open West

Thanks, bayswater, do you import your DP audio files into DSP-Q for mixdown or do you do your mix in DP, then process the final mix in DSP-Q. If you do it the first way then you could not use DP's effects, because they are MAS, not UA, right?

Re: Wide Open West

Hmm. The Mix track and Master fader were set to 0, and the levels were near 0 with some loud parts over that. My new speakers were calibrated with pink noise at 80Db in the sweet spot. Maybe this was too loud?

Nice. It's a good song for driving fast with the top down!

Re: MusicWithArt.com #1

Very satisfying! Why not make it longer so the viewer can take in the pictures to their fullest. There is a depth to them that should not be rushed, imo. Same with the music, which was perfect.

Wide Open West

Hello Motu'sers After figuring out some nagging performance issues with my VI's, I've got my track count up to 50 and a mixdown without the need for submixes or stems. I think it came out pretty good and I wanted to share it with you all. I take that back. The brass was submixed with the Motu 'Dynam...

Re: DP10 speculation?

The result in Sibelius was a big black mess, everything all smashed together. Maybe it had something to do with print formatting or some things I'm not used to doing. I can't say more. It went so badly and it seemed right off the bat that it required more work than a straight MIDI export, so I neve...

Re: DP10 speculation?

I have tried export xml but it was fairly useless because it was tied to the quickscribe window and there were so many limitations, like one screen at a time. If Motu could find a way to do this similar to a complete MIDI file export for an entire sequence it would be more viable. Of course it's po...

Re: DP10 speculation?

A hint was dropped recently in another thread that VST3 support may be coming. I’d like to see MusicXML import—3.1 would be ideal but I’d settle for 3.0. I have tried export xml but it was fairly useless because it was tied to the quickscribe window and there were so many limitations, like one scre...

Re: Audio dropouts when bouncing using PLAY 6

I wish I could help. VE Pro is only something I once considered to solve my own drop out problems. But over time I've tamed them without the added complexity. I remember years ago bouncing Play MIDI instruments to audio and had similar problems. Play 4 I think. I always always do it in real time. No...

Things Fixed in DP 9.5

One of the things on this list is the following: "Fixed an ongoing issue with MIDI editing in the Sequence window." Does anyone here have specifics or details on this? Does anyone have any personal experience with such MIDI editing problems? I have used DP since the consolidated window was...

Re: Suggestion Box for DP 10 MOTU Link

At the very least I hope they put back right-click MIDI editing in the Sequence wind0ow, as there is in the MIDI window. I don't know why they removed this core feature in the first place. :?

Re: Turning Input Quantize on and off

Very annoying that this is not in Preferences. So many things that could reduce the tedium of DP should be there, yet they're not.

Re: Your favorite wireless mouse for editing in DP

Whatever kind of mouse or pointer you use, there will eventually be repetitive stress concerns. Not really, for me. The Trackpad 2 has eliminated those concerns. It has a lot to do with your chair, desk height, etc. I've had several hand surgeries for repetitive stress and have zero ill effects sin...

Re: DP 9.5.1 is up.

Thanks, I just wanted to confirm the behavior, not the reason for it. MOTU confirmed that it is a bug, or rather, will put back that functionality. I thought it would have been done for 9.5.1 but no. What is telling though is that on this site no one has complained except me. Is no one using the seq...

Re: pre-gen

Really? I want to rip my hair out in that case. :banghead: While editing, clicked notes last only a millisecond or so. Cannot scrub with the wiper because of this. Then system becomes unusable and cannot save project or close DP. It is 100% predictable.
