Re: DP 8.02 reversion to DP7 behaviour for mixer track displ

All this is a plea to make this 'alternate functionality' an option in the next update. It's one of the only things in DP that bugs me, and that continues to trip me up on a regular basis even though I'm well aware of the behavior. Thanks very much for the replies and I apologise for posting twice....

DP 8.02 reversion to DP7 behaviour for mixer track display

(I posted this first as a reply to ‪Re: What's NOT fixed in DP 8.02 [semi-resolved]‬ but I think it's a separate topic, hence this post.) One issue that I loved about DP8 was that finally my mixer window stayed as I'd set it up when I moved between Tracks and Mixer tabs of the CW. When I've set up t...

Re: What's NOT fixed in DP 8.02 [semi-resolved]

I'm afraid I haven't been on Motunation for a while so this may have been covered elsewhere, but one issue that I loved about DP8 was that finally my mixer window stayed as I'd set it up when I moved between Tracks and Mixer tabs of the CW. When I've set up the tracks I want in the mixer I really DO...

Delete Quick scribe brackets?

Hi, How do you delete brackets in Quickscribe? I seem to have a couple of rogue brackets in a string arrangement that I can't seem to delete. It is an old sequence, but I suspect the two staves in question were initially a piano Grand Staff. They are now single staves in the track options. Many than...

Pro Tools key bindings for Digital Performer

I'm currently using Digital Performer and Pro Tools. Before I reinvent the wheel, I just wondered if anyone had a DP key bindings file for Pro Tools key shortcuts that they were happy to make freely available. If not I'll make mine available when my wheel is finished.

Re: Stylus RMX problem

Many thanks for the replies. I have downloaded 1.9.4 but the problem remains. Luckily I have found a work around which is to keep a Stylus RMX edit window open. It seems that hitting play in DP (particularly after locating with the dot trick) is setting off the internal play button in Stylus. Openin...

Stylus RMX problem

Hi all, I have a problem with Stylus RMX 1.9.3 in DP 7.12. A sequence will play normally, but when I stop and use the dot trick to return to a specific bar (generally the start of the sequence before recorded events )and hit play, Stylus RMX groove menu patches will start playing rubbish regardless ...

DP7 and MBox 2 Pro

Is anyone using DP7 with an MBox 2 Pro? I'm in a position where I have to learn to use ProTools for some mobile recording projects - the producer I'm working with only uses ProTools - and am thinking of getting the MBox 2 Pro to use with ProTools LE 8 and my MacBook Pro (2008 15" 2.5 GHz with F...

Re: Console for Alphatrack

Hi ken, Thanks - all is fine now. I contacted Frontier and they were really quick to get back to me and very helpful. In the end I used the 'plug-in' page ('flipping' the rotary controller with the fader) to automate modulation of the separate 'instruments' of Garritan Personal Orchestra in Kontakt ...

Console for Alphatrack

Is it possible to use consoles with Alphatrack? I'm trying to reassign the data generated by the fader (CC7 I presume) to produce modulation CC1 instead so I can control the volume and timbre of Garritan Personal Orchestra instruments in a Kontakt player plugin. I know a mod wheel would be simpler (...

Thank you. That would make sense. I'm having no problems with aif files. I presume that MOTU will move towards caf files support in the near future. On the positive side I'm appreciating the sample substitution facility with MIDI triggering in the browser window, even if the browser window itself fe...

Can't load Apple Loops - Invalid program

Hi everyone, I'm a long time DP user but new to MachFive2. I have had owned a whole range of samplers over the years - Sequential/Roland/EMU/Samplecell - and have a stack of legacy library CDs. I've only had MachFive a week or so, but must admit I'm a little disappointed with its ability to deliver ...

Yes, should have included all that. I'm running DP 5.13 on a 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro with 2 GB RAM under OS X 10.5.2 One thing I forgot to mention is that I did have the Soundflower extension installed in order to use Audio Hijack. My process of elimination was not altogether 'scientific' but i got rid ...

Sorry, Nooneknows. I didn't see your post before posting mine. I agree that it does seem impossible to use the 828 mk3 for stand alone surround (or even just stereo) monitoring with powered speakers. I haven't done any tests using the other outputs, but i presume you have and found them to be the sa...
