You could have a 2nd (maybe used MBP) as a backup, and rather than running two computers, just run from the 2nd if the first fails. Having a keyboard with built-in sounds seems pretty sensible, as well-- but I should disclaim that I've always been too much of a scaredy cat to gig with a laptop. I'v...

Thanks! Good to be back! So I prepped for a week for a 1-man show night in Vegas ... hired for a corporate gig. Had eVERYTHING ready .... then the day of the show was hit was an intestinal bug. Unbelievable. For any that are curious .... I did some tests and my M1 MBP ran DP and MainStage with no is...

I've been gigging with a laptop since probably around 2010? I ditched having to lug around Motif8. A small controller and a well-taken-care-of MBP has served me well. I'm thinking of getting a Mod8 and taking the outputs of that and going into my Ultralike mk5 for monitoring purposes when running ba...

Been a DP user since early 2000's. Although in my studio rig, I was forced to switch to PT, DP is still a part of my playback world when I need it. I haven't done a lot of live playback in a while but I'm prepping for a show where I'm playing keys and performing along to playback tracks I've made. I...

is the iPad CueMix app still simply for debugging? We can't remotely control the Ultralite via the iPad app?

The IP ADDRESS baffled me too as I thought for sure it would connect remotely given that it displayed the IP.

Oh well. Bummer.

I just received my UltraLite mk5 today. I have it connected to my MacBook Pro and will use it to mix backing tracks from DP. I downloaded the iOS CueMix 5 on my iPad Pro ... can the iPad Pro remotely control the Ultralite connected to my MacBook Pro? Or is it available on iOS just for the purposes o...

I'm doing an ADR session next week. I have my video file and set a marker with a 3 second streamer leading to a punch where the ADR line will start. Is it common practice to also set an "out" point? As in, "these lines need to end by this point". Or does one just mark where the s...

I just upgraded to the latest DP. I'm using it to construct some backing tracks. When I hit the space bar to STOP playback, the stop button icon will look like its indefinitely pressed until I make a mouse click. No other commands will work. If I type in a command while its in this state and then cl...

This seems like it has fast transfer speeds and the ability for growth with 8 total slots.

I'm adjusting to the new way of thinking that I don't need 4 drives (1 for sessions, 1 for VI's, etc etc).


I'm guessing around 4 TB might be good to hold my VI libraries and sessions? But obviously I'd want to get a HUGE backup drive to backup all of it in case of disaster.

It’s not TB3. It’s USB 3.1 “ Up to 1550MB/s sustained performance ” A true TB3 drive containing a single NVMe 3 x4 blade will be rated 2800 or so. Because of the 4 lane limitation of TB3, multiple NVM3 3 x4 blades in a single RAID0 enclosure will combine capacity but will be a bit slower. RAID math...

Not all so-called TB3 external drives are the same. Look at the speed. If not rated 2800 or faster, they’re USB 3.1. True TB3 externals won’t be as fast as the internal storage on an M1, iMac Pro or other newer Mac that uses multiple SSDs in a Raid0 configuration but it’s more than fast enough. USB...

I currently have (2) 2408's connected via PCIe to my 2008 Mac Pro. I emailed MOTU and asked about the 24i vs 16a and why the big price jump with the 16a. They said it was because the DAC is that much better on the 16a. It looks like the dynamic range on the 16a is better as well. I'm wondering if an...

Excellent! Logic is great. I use it too. For me, DP fits my style and workflow a little better. I'm not experiencing the issues that you mention. No freezes or hangs. Just for the record, in case folks come upon this thread... What version of DP were you running? Are you running Yosemite on a 3,1 M...
