Just tried DP9 with my large orchestral template which includes 4 mac pros using VE Pro, Kontakt, Play, and a host of other libraries. Assumed that there would be problems, but EVERYTHING just works! I am frankly AMAZED. Just did a project for a client using my template from DP8 and it went as smooth as silk!

Gotta say I am impressed!

That's great. Have you done a lot of editing, such as adding data points in the editing windows, event list, etc? Several here are getting crashes when doing so, even in small and new projects.

Party pooper.

What kind of party, Nickster?

I am unable to recreate such a crash on a new project on my laptop. Caveat: old 10.6.8 MacOS. But DP9 is blazin away.

I still have to find time to reinstall from the DVD and hope that solves it. Later today for sure.

I hope so, MLC. Today, I had a device group that I couldn't switch a MIDI track destination out of (into a new one I was trying to create), so I deleted it, and then edited the remaining one to contain the (different) MIDI destinations I was trying to target. Maybe a restart would have fixed that. Also had one possible case of my bundles getting out of whack (if you pardon the expression) - so that DP's input of the R channel of the D50 was linked in a stereo file with the L channel of the next (supposed to be) stereo synth input. I am guessing a restart of either DP9 or else the whole MacPro would have cleared the anomaly, (or a reload of saved Bundles) but the session was almost done, so I revised only the tracks I absolutely needed manually. After finishing that I opened up another DP9 session I'd started a few days earlier and my bundles were back to normal.

Both of these glitches occured when I was working on a sequence, newly created in DP9, which used a very old Template of mine. I think that was the cause. Over all very happy with DP9. And that gorgeous SPLASH SCREEN?@?!!! - Brings me joy with each launch. Looking forward to the 9.01 smoothout of the issues we've been hearing about.

I wonder which OS the OP uses? Might be useful info to find out which OS's are having good results..
I'm like MLC, at first 9 worked surprisingly well, even with big projects. But when I started editing MIDI etc. it didn't seem to behave like it should- and then when I tried to do pitch automation, crashed after every edit or two, consistently. Went back to 8 but I wonder if there's a "winning" combination of OS and DP9.

The DP9 orgy... I mean, love-in that looked set to start... 'till you dropped some gorilla poop on it. LOL

Sorry. Carry on. There'll be a love-in later, or maybe when 10 arrives.

I'm going to take the plunge soon! But first, I want to give kudos to MOTU. I came back from a vacation and my Ultralite MK3 was fried. It was out of warranty and I spoke with Benjamin at MOTU who has another unit being sent to me. It only costs $99 for this service. Wow! That was so cool of MOTU.

Once I get the MK3, I'm going to pick up DP9. I'm hoping that the new controller learn feature will work on my Korg M3, which has lots of sliders and knobs.

I started running into this kind of stuff yesterday. 7 MIDI and Instrument tracks with one instance each of EWQLSO using the Play 4.2.2 engine. Edit, save, edit - crash before I can do another save. Repeat again and again.

This went away after reinstalling from the DVD. You might try a reinstall (even from the download, perhaps?). I suspect something in the download got screwed up. DP 9 doing good so far now.

I'll have to give that a shot - just got the dvd today (out in the mailbox in almost 100 deg F heat - hope it's okay).

PS: When you reinstalled from the dvd did your preferences and bundles get reset to defaults or did they stay the same as before?

Unless you delete preferences, templates, bundles etc., they are unaffected by a reinstall. Or an uninstall/reinstall if DP 7 or earlier.

I did the dvd install and it basically went okay. However I had an issue with the Channel Strip as I outlined in this thread: http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtop ... 26&t=60187

Not good. Went back to the download version and is back to the way it was.
