Dragging a soundbite from the Tracks window crashes DP11.3

Post by digigtr »

Hello,

I am using Revoice Pro 5 and when I drag a soundbite just out of the Tracks window DP 11.3 crashes. It does not even make it to the Revoice window.

This the procedure I am using.
It used to be a video on Youtube now I can't the video but I did download it...
It works when DP does crash from a simple soundbite drag
_________________________________________________
In Revoice set Spot Files to User Timecode

In DP select your Audio soundbites and Set User Timestamp from Sequence

Select a soundbite and drag to Revoice
It is best to drag via the top of the DP window

The soundbites will be positioned at the correct timecode position.
Clicking on the first soundbite in Revoice with the command key pressed will select that soundbite

Press B to display the new press widow.
Then create an APT process.

Press the Shift+ Alt keys and click on the output audio.

Drag the audio into DP

To position at the correct time code select the soundbite and select Move to User Timestamp

You can speed up the workflow by assigning keys to the Timestamp commands in DP

This is a bug I reported to MOTU some time back, early on with DP11.

You can "Export Audio" by right clicking on soundbite. Then you need to get it to the right spot. I've had no issue dragging and dropping audio INTO DP.

Is Revoice working ARA yet? Vocalign Project 5 is reportedly (I have installed the latest, but have not tried ARA with it yet).

Thanks for reply.
I do not think Revoice is ARA yet because it does not show up as ARA.

I guess I can export but dragging is so much easier.

Please let me know if you have anymore advice.

I have gotten used to the "Export" right click approach; it quickly became second nature for me.

IIRC, I can consistently drag from the Soundbites Window without crashing. You might also try dragging from the Sequence Editor window.
