Can't Hear Vocal in Mix While Recording (Cuemix, Ultralite)

hi there, i feel like an idiot but here goes. . . when i record a vocal track (or others) i can't hear the vocal in the monitor mix (headphones.) i'm still getting used to my Ultralight Mk3 Hybrid, or more specifically using Cuemix FX (1.01.10) and oh, of course, DP 7.24, after using a real basic 82...

Re: MW Leveler on Snare Drum - Level Changes?

yes, in DP 7.2.4 there's a "save state" preference, when you click on the meter it opens the window. thanks!

Re: MW Leveler on Snare Drum - Level Changes?

hi there, thanks for the reply. this of course helped me understand what the plug actually does and how it works. then i went to the big thick DP manual which referred me to the DP plugs guide available within DP under the help menu. (who knew) which actually explained the whole thing quite well. no...

MW Leveler on Snare Drum - Level Changes?

Hi there. I've been using the MW Leveler on my Snare Drum in a mix but . . . while i recorded a whole audio track of snare hits i'm in the habit of arranging my drum parts by deleting sections or individual hits. What I'm finding is that the first hit in section (lets say hit 1 of a sequence of 2, o...

Re: Sidechain Compression for Pumping Effect

hi there, thanks for the fun replies. it seems that while i'm doing it "right" and thinking about it "right" within DP it doesn't seem to be working. i've got a dummy kick drum track printed to audio. it's set to send out to "bus 64". over the guitar track (or soft synt...

Re: DP and Arturia Spark Drum Machine - Argh!

i bought the hardware which must be run with the software. the DP integration is not so great. i do like the sounds and the feel but it really feels like it wasn't ready to release or use professionally with a DAW. it's a bummer, man.

DP and Arturia Spark Drum Machine - Argh!

hi folks. anyone else bought the Arturia Spark Drum Machine? I've been attempting to use with DP 7.23 for a while. I'm fine with the quality of the sounds but in many quirky ways it seems not to be playing nicely with DP. I've posted many times on the Arturia forum, and they've finally said maybe it...
