New Bugs in DP 1011 (current latest version)

[jsg]

For those who use Quickscribe, check out the margin adjustment feature, it is totally broken. Worked well in every other version, now, when you use your mouse to change the margins it behaves very poorly.

Also, I am experiencing frequent crashes. Not while using the program, but when exiting it. Sometimes it even brings Windows 10 down.

Any tips on going back to an earlier DP version? Can I open files in earlier versions created in the current one? Should I uninstall DP completely?

Seems like every time MOTU fixes bugs they create new ones. Frustrating...

This latest update seems to have involved significant changes to the coding underlying the audio engine and GUI. For me (on a Mac), the improvements have been well worth the relatively small issues I've had to deal with but, as is clear from the variety of bugs people have described here at MOTUNation, we all use the program differently and have thus been inconvenienced to varying degrees.

So far, for me, as soon as a couple of third party plugin issues get resolved, I'll be sailing smoothly with the wind at my back. Hopefully MOTU is able to quickly address the issues others find problematic. Definitely report to MOTU via TechLink when you find a problem!

Well, I saw the margin thing this afternoon...
I've been searching a way to get a larger upper margin in first page.
Not enough place for title, date, author, composer, ...

I'm seeing this on MacOS as well. I can increase the upper margin, but not decrease it. I can't change the side margins at all. Off to Techlinks...

I'm so thankful Dp fixed its ramp automation bug. I can now paste automated sections around to my hearts content without creating unintended automation ramping. Well done MOTU!!!

However...lol,
There's a small bug.
If I select a section with automation in it and drag it forward or backwards and let go, DP creates some nutty, jagged automation here and there. It looks like it attempts to make the hard ramps programmed into the new automation fix in 10.11. It just isn't quite succeeding in doing so, It make new hard ramps to avoid long automation ramps, but there are jagged sawtooth lines too. Looks like the program needs a tweak in this area.

But Overall, DP 10.11 has been a godsend for me and I give 1000 thank you's to the MOTU crew!

Stoked would probably be an understatement, eh TDH?

Yeah. I’ve been wanting to post for a while, but I’ve been very busy. And I’ve been waiting for something to go wrong. Lol I didn’t want to poat and then find something broke really bad LOL. All in all, I’m very happy. Now if we could just do snapshot on third-party plug-ins without tabbing through parameters to register values with DP, now that would be fantastic.

REALLY??

That alone would make me get DP10 right now and sing loudly with delight!

So I take it you've put DP's mixing/automation new capabilities to severe tests with your mixes and you are happy about the result?

Does it work equally well when snipping heavily automated sections?

What about Waves' plugins? Do the numerical values shown in DP now show the TRUE values and not that numerical nonsense anymore?

What about RELIABLE automation reading?
That was one of your biggest pet peeves. Does DP10 now read your "brute-force - all-parameter - crazy heavy-handed" ( ) automation techniques reliably every time?

So do you put your TDH seal of approval regarding those issues, or not quite yet?

What little I've seen and heard about DP10 so far, it definitely seems like MOTU took a leap (not step) in the right direction!

You know they have demo versions you can try? Instead of wondering, isn't it better to know?

DP 10.11 is working very well here. I don't use QS, not ever, but haven't run into any issues except the iOS 13 plug loss, which is easily remedied.

So what are you waiting for, FM?

Of course! I've been so disconnected that I forgot about that little detail. I suppose my mind has been filtering out stuff that doesn't apply to me in the moment.
Since when do we have DP demo versions anyway?

I'll download it and test drive it. I probably also update to Mojave or Catalina (I'm still in El Capitan )

Thanks for the reminder

Go Mojave! Wait for Catalina, unless you really want to dig in.

And set up a new Boot Drive or Partition to test DP10.11 with!
If you install over your existing DP version, that version will almost certainly be hosed. I used Migration Assistant to port data to my DP10 SSD with great results.

Just remember to install it on another partition, or be prepared to re-install earlier versions should you decide to revert.

P.S. HCM beat me to the post.

Time to update your signature?

Catalina (the OS) es no bueno (excuse my Spanish, my native language is music). The island of Catalina is fantastic. The OS AFAIK no longer supports 32 bit apps. My understanding is that MANY app (not just music) will go south when that happens. I know at least one person on the forum I'm in regular touch with who is forced to go there on a new machine so if he/she reports on results that are not reported here, I'll relay them.

But the clear consensus is DON'T go there. And if you have an iOS 13 Apple device, plugging it in to a Sierra OS will trash your plugins.

There's a fix, but I moved to Mojave (See thread above) and it still happened. All seems fine now but setup wireless sync on your devices before making the upward move in the OS. At least that's my view of things.

Mojave is nice and I love the dark mode. It really help visibility in a darker space (studio, theater, etc). And it's much easier on the eyes!

You PHOTO app (Apple) will update your photos to some new format and the directory structure of the OS is apparently very different from the old one, but now I'm telling you more than I already (actually) know.

Demo version, BTW, have been around since about ver 9, I think. Maybe 8? And di you know the manual is now a PDF! Man how I miss hunting trolls.

Yeah, that one about the PDF manual did catch my mind's attention ... I do miss hunting for pirates too

Thank you guys for the heads-up regarding DP installation versions and OSs
