Re: is uad 2 going to work in 64bit?

Did I hear that UA was partnering with Abbey Road Plugins to include them in UAD-2, or was that just a fantasy that I had? I probably just thought that would be a cool idea, but now I can't remember for sure whether there were hints about it or not.

Re: Confused about 64 bit mac and DP8

For apps the answer was one post above yours. System Profiler. Aha! Thank you. I'm not sure your message was there yet when I started mine. I used to know this System Profiler thing. Gosh, if I don't do something for a couple of years it just seems to vanish from my mind. I ended up with a long, lo...

Re: Confused about 64 bit mac and DP8

Hey Zed, When you load up DP8 in 32 or 64 bit modes you will see which are which,the plugs or VI's will be appropriately listed. The plugs or VI's that are not 64bit will not show up when you open the list in 64bit mode. It's easier than you probably think it is,relax. ;-) It's not about being unre...

Re: what's going to work with dp 8 what's not?

This thread does not seem to list very many plugins which are not yet 64-bit. I suppose as people get their copies of DP8 we will learn more about this. I just discovered another one of my favorite plugins which is not 64-bit: AudioEase's Speakerphone Altiverb is now 64-bit, but AudioEase seems to b...

Re: Confused about 64 bit mac and DP8

Hey folks, Has anyone found an application which can quickly analyze all of your applications and plugins and tell you whether they are 64-bit or 32-bit? I know that I can launch the applications and then use Activity Monitor to determine this information for those active applications, but it would ...

Re: Confused about 64 bit mac and DP8

I think for now I am just gong to put my faith in DP8 being able to resolve my problem. The alternative is much too disappointing to consider, though I might benefit from the notoriety of a rooftop throwing publicity stunt! I'd rather be known for giving a great rooftop concert of all the songs I wi...

Re: Confused about 64 bit mac and DP8

...Mine too! But for whatever reason the bottleneck on my computer doesn't allow DP to use more than 2.4GB of Real Memory before it chokes and crashes. At the risk of stating the obvious: Unlike MachV3 and the Photoshop apps in the pictures (thanks!), DP 7 is 32bit. You will need DP 8. Oh yeah I kn...

Re: Confused about 64 bit mac and DP8

Most of my active projects are right on the verge of breaking. Mine too! But for whatever reason the bottleneck on my computer doesn't allow DP to use more than 2.4GB of Real Memory before it chokes and crashes. On a few rare occasions it has gone up to 2.56GB or something (because the Real Memory ...

Re: LAME for DP 8

So in order to avoid the "hassle of BTD" you're resorting to a third party program to capture the audio when DP can and does allow you to do this reliably and more efficiently. Hey, that's cool. Knock yourself out, but I think you are adding a layer of work that is unnecessary and taking ...

Re: LAME for DP 8

Whoa, whoa! :D Are you telling me that you don't listen to the recording after you make it? AFAIK you cannot monitor the actual recorded sound file in DP like you could with a 3 head playback machine. You are still listening to the DP project before the recording, so don't you have to check it anyw...

Re: LAME for DP 8

I use Audio Hijack Pro to capture my Mp3 mixes from DP. A great tool. It is much much easier to just engage the record button of Audio Hijack Pro and have it capture everything without futzing around with DP settings. I have AHP as well, but what's so difficult about hitting the bounce button in DP...

Re: DP8 Comping video shows the "wrong" way to comp (FIXED!)

That shows how easy DP really is. That's cool that it was pointed out here As much as I love DP, and as "fluent" as I am with it now, I don't think I would ever call it easy. Not even compared to other DAWs. The things that make it really quick for power users to do aren't always immediat...

Re: Most important DP8 question:

Are you saying that Andy's themes won't be the same colors that we're accustomed to? What is the "DefaultStyle" within a theme? Are those the basic tones of the theme itself? Or are you talking about track colors or something? I guess I could go poking around, myself, but DP8 isn't here y...
