Monitoring with audio while in edit window

Post by midilance »

What am I missing? I have the Edit window open for a track. I can't hear the track play or notes play as I select them. What am I not doing correctly? It works if I have the Tracks window open too but I have to have the tracks window selected to hear it. Then I have to select the edit window to make changes. What do I have to do to have just the edit window open and be able to hear the part play?

That is something that is really annoying to me with DP.

If you have audible-mode checked, DP (at least for me, maybe I'm doing something wrong?) needs to reload all plug-ins and VI's, etc. when you close that edit window?

Not a huge deal, but it takes about a minute, which is annoying to me when working?

I always monitor the Master bus but there's one studio whose projects are always set to Monitor 1/2. No big deal but, after switching to Master, Save, close… on reopen, they switch back to Monitor. No idea why but I've learned to roll with it.

Not part of this thread, but I really wish Motu would allow the default output track (when you add audio tracks) in DP to be a bus rather than a physical output.

Right now it defaults to the top physical output track in Bundles/Outputs.

I've printed mixes numerous times that are missing tracks because they are not hitting the 2-bus, but I still hear them coming out of the speakers.

I have a post-it on my monitor to remind me to check, but it's an annoyance.
