Re: suggestions needed from those using AKG C 414 XL II

I would try another mic before I went out and bought a preamp to fix this problem. If she sounded great in an EV RE series mic (variable "D" off-axis rejection), then I'd borrow a Shure SM-7 or an EV RE-20 (or 27) and try that. I honestly don't think you're going to get the results you wa...

Re: DP Pitch Melodyne

It all really depends on the vocal and how it was recorded. It seems that whenever one can't handle certain high frequency content in a vocal, the other can. I always default to DP because it sounds so much more natural, but I keep Melodyne around to catch a line or two that DP just can't seem to d...

Re: Cause of clicks and pops embedded in audio tracks?

Sounds like a clocking master/slave issue to me .... at the time of recording

Re: Constant freeze-ups (for minutes) once you have a few ta

Hi not sure how useful this will be as I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5 running on a trashcan, but thought it worth mentioning as I record in the same way ie multiple instruments, multiple takes .. live and I have experienced the same problem from time to time. I found it less problematic when I went back to...

Re: Adjust bite volume key binding not working

When I use the control-shift up or down arrow with the bite selected, I see that something is happening from the top menu, but the waveform does not change in size no matter how many times I repeat the operation. I think you are confusing 'bite volume' with 'bite gain'. Bite gain will visibly make ...

Re: Adjust bite volume key binding not working

I think it's ctrl-shift-alt up or down. Not by my Mac so I might be wrong

Re: Anyone slaving another computer to display movie

Hi I haven't done this for a couple of months and as my memory isn't what it used to be, for things I do infrequently, I save notes. These are my 'memory-jogging' notes with associated pics. Works like a dream for me. This is using 2 macs so may not help, but just in case you have an old mac lying a...

Komplete Pitch Issue

It turns out that this issue is not only happening in Kontakt. It's happening in pretty much any plug-in -- even MAS plug-ins. More interestingly, when it happens, if I just save everything exactly how it is, close DP and reopen the project, it's back to normal. Totally weird. I have experienced th...

Re: NAMM 2017 DP New Features Video

You can of course do this using scale time, but it would just be great to be able to do it visually using the mouse rather than having to get your Calculator out

Re: NAMM 2017 DP New Features Video

Good try guys sadly none of those ideas seem to fit the bill. The ideal would be to group the drum tracks and be able to stretch all the sound files together in one hit by just dragging one of the files in the top right hand corner using the hand tool. Even then as good as dP is I wonder about the p...

Re: different faders position for record and playback ?

If you set 'Audio Patch Thru' to 'off' in the Studio drop-down menu, then whilst you record your levels will be set by whatever software controls whichever card you are using. If you're using a Motu card/interface then it would be Cue Mix. In my case I'm using and an RME Madi card so I would use the...

Re: NAMM 2017 DP New Features Video

Re DP New Features does anyone know if DP's new time stretching, can be done simultaneously over multiple tracks, by dragging with the cursor. This would be very handy for drum editing. Although phase coherency between mics would be interesting. Asking for the impossible I know!! Can you believe pit...

Re: Waves Electric 200 - My New Favoirte Wurly

Does it run okay inside DP? I was knocked out by their earlier Rhodes VI, but it wouldn't work properly inside DP and Waves gave me a refund. I've heard great things about this, but I'm gunshy. I'm no keyboard aficionado but I have both those plugs and they both sound great to me. Both work fine in...
