Now, all that said, I was not impressed with the API or Neve Mix EQs. They didn't do a thing for me. If that's what you're basing your evaluation on, go back to the originals. Hi Splinter, do you mean that they really don't have the same sound/color compared to the *original* vintage design plug-in...

As for DI's, get the Avalon U5.

Hi JJ,

Do you mean you're still using DP 4.52 ? Are you on Panther or Tiger ? Which OS version ?


Thanks in advance.

...While I'm at it, how about adding destructive record capability as well? Digi has had this since Sound Tools days. Very useful when mixing long-form projects (anything film-related). "destructive record capability"... could you be kind to elaborate just a little bit about this ? Thanks.

The issue is Garageband and Logic Frozen audio files are in a 32 bit Floating Point format and you need to convert the format to something DP will read. Like 24/48 SDII Format. I Use Barbabatch to convert all my Logic/Garageband Frozen Audio Track Files to SDII (DP's native) format.... Also as the ...

A few quick thoughts with simplicity and economy in mind: 1. Drop your master fader down -3 to-5db at the outset. 2. Create an aux track called Backing Track and set that to -3 to -5db (This will mean cranking up your monitoring, but you'll have heaps of headroom) 4. Put some kind of compressor on ...

Re: Two Bounce to disk related questions

Is it only when using Audio plugins (not real time, Audio menu > Audio plug-ins) or also while Bouncing the disk (24bit to 16bit)? If I have e.g. a L2 in the master fader, L2's dither set ON and I'm bouncing my 24bit project to 16bit: Can I be sure that DP does not add double dithering? My ears say...
