Re: Buying New Mac - Can't Decide

I bought the 2.8 quad-Core Nehalem last September after my dual 2.7 PPC took a dirt nap. I loaded the new machine with 16 gigs of RAM. Not impressed at all. I'm a heavy user of VI's and I like running, MachV II, Trillian and Omnisphere as well as Ableton LIVE at the same time. Because of DP's 4 gig ...

Sound drop outs with Traveler and 10.6

Hey all, I've upgraded my entire system. New MacPro Quad 2.8. DP 7.21 and updated all my MOTU drivers. I'm getting intermittent drop outs that last 3-5 seconds and then the sound comes back on. This did happen before with old machine on Tiger, but it's happening more frequently now. I also have 16 g...

I'm baaaack. :)

Hello Fellow Dp'ers, I have returned. :woohoo: I had stopped upgrading since vers. 6 was such a disappointment and I remained quite happy with 5.13 until my trusty 6 year old G5 took a dirt nap last week. I have upgraded to the 2.8 quadcore and installed 7.21 yesterday. I will be installing / updati...

Re: DP 7 Officially Announced!!!!

TBH, when I read this I thought it was a joke! I bought 6 when it came out and it's, like other's have said, still in the box. Never used, (I'm still on 5.13). Now, they expect me to pay another $195.00 ? when they never made 6 stable??? That's total BS IMHO! I'll wait for all you beta testers again...

Re: How many 5.13 people waiting to upgrade?

Still on 5.13 and Tiger on my G5 dual 1.42. Too many projects and deadlines to risk losing stability. All signs on this board indicate there are still significant issues with 6 for "some" users and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as it looks like it happens on G5's and Intels....

Re: Time Stretching for Remixing

If you're going to be doing this frequently, I would suggest dropping the coin to get Ableton LIVe. It does this effortlessly. I run it rewired in DP and bounce the tracks back and forth.

Re: 6.02 PROJECT UPDATE

Still on 5.13. Too many projects and deadlines to be a beta tester. Reading this forum confirms my decision. Hope they get it right. Til then, I'm staying put.

Re: Need Some Help. Old Comps DOA- HAVE to upgrade

Thanks RecordingArts! I actually have a MBP. I might consider using it. After some soul searching, I realized the cost could really put me down right now. I may just try to move all my VI's to the G5 and see if it can keep up for a while. :( Anyone know how the student discount program works with ne...

Need Some Help. Old Comps DOA- HAVE to upgrade

Hi everyone, Today, as I was about to start a session, my old G4 dual 1.42 died. This has been my MIDI machine synced to my trusty G5 dual 2.7, (also a little long in the tooth). All my VST's and MIDI gear are hooked up to the G4 so I could save resources on the G5 as an audio only / mixdown machine...

Re: CAN DP HANDLE LOOPS the WAY LOGIC DOES ?

I had the same issues with DP. There are so many steps required to audition a loop in your song's tempo. My solution: Ableton LIVE rewired to DP. LIVE has a great browser that let's you audition your loops while you play your track in DP at the correct tempo. Instant gratification and no fuss. Once ...
