MOTU Website update 4/11/2014

[Keith Henry]

Anybody got any word on MOTU? I cannot access the website since last night. The only info I can find was posted here on March 5th, 2014.

As irony would have it, my DP 6 started crashing on me last night (a relatively small multitrack session, using only 2 UA-1 plugins LA-2A along with 1 TC Powercore Channel Strip). Should I uninstall/reinstall DP, UAD-1 and TC Powercore?

Reading the above post, others were mentioning the ned for the website to be active for DP sessions to properly run? Can you please elaborate.

Thanks much.

From what I recall, the only problem you might have is if you wanted to authorize DP8, which requires an internet connection to MOTU's server to do so. After it's authorized, it tries to connect on start up to push content to the new Welcome screen feature that is part of DP8, but can be defeated in the Mac version by changing the preference. You still should be able to launch it.

This shouldn't apply to you anyway because you're using DP6 which like versions prior to DP8, use keydisk authorization and don't need to connect to the internet to authorize. You should be fine. I'd also suggest you update to a newer version. DP6 was a problematic version that I recommend most people avoid and just go right to DP 7.24 or later. The last version of DP6 wasn't bad, but you're still much better off leaving that particular version behind as quickly as practical.

Maybe they were shut down because of the heart bleed bug. They're up now.
