Re: Resurrect DP5 projects?

That doesn’t sound right. Did you check with sales@motu.com? Thanks - Yes, I no longer have any active registrations (not qualified to upgrade) so I'm starting from scratch at retail level. Best available price I've found for a brand new DP10 - $299 (tempting) - and $499 for DP11. At the risk of po...

Re: Resurrect DP5 projects?

Just dropping back in with an update. I downloaded the demo of DP10 (because if I go ahead and purchase, it's going to be v10 (not 11, due to it costing $200 more). Good news - I haven't had too many problems opening old projects (v3, 4, 5) even after years of moving things around HDD to HDD. Quite ...

Re: Resurrect DP5 projects?

Thanks for the replies! it sounds hopeful - sort of. The 30 day eval would be a good way to go though I'm tempted to just get the DP10 on sale (just $299). If I can quickly figure out how to get the MIDI data out (maybe even in sync with audio in LPX), I might be able to do everything I need within ...

Resurrect DP5 projects?

So here I am, decades later, with a bunch of DP5 projects copied from HDD to HDD over eons -- and no way to open them and export the MIDI. (I stopped recording for years, and sold my DP license off) The audio files are there - but unfortunately I was so high tech and (ultimately not so) clever that ...

Re: DP5 - what the last hardware+ OSX that will run it?

Supposedly DP10.13 will open old files better than prior versions. I tried one DP5 file and it seemed to work. But if it doesn't work for you, I have a Mac G5 Quad with the last version of DP5 installed. If you need help, feel free to PM me here or email me via my website https://rbohemia.com You c...

Re: DP5 - what the last hardware+ OSX that will run it?

Thanks again Mike! I have a Lion bootable thumb drive handy that might work on a 2009-10- otherwise I will have to search my storage for older (4x) CD installers. The probably with most people selling this vintage Macs is they have newer OSX versions running to make them look "newer" - rat...

Re: DP5 - what the last hardware+ OSX that will run it?

Thanks everyone, especially Mike ! Great info. Looks like a 2009-2010 iMac will do just fine - I have a variety of bootable OSX installers available but pretty much any version to limp through this would be OK- such as the following base OSX versions - (without ramping up to higher OSX versions). 20...

DP5 - what the last hardware+ OSX that will run it?

As the title says - I'm trying to determine what version hardware to get. I have some old DP5 files (haven't used DP since) and I can't get into the program on my 2019 IMac (Mojave) I only want to open them to convert them into Logic or something else. I can grab the audio as is without even touchin...

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

Fair enough, there are some surprises then, but the implication was there that maybe, just maybe, MachFive was going to be added in as part of it - or a steeply discounted bundle option or something. Maybe it was just wishful thinking in my reading between the lines... :sorry:

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

... Had MOTU announced that MachFive (and it's VI library) was going to be included with DP9 from this point forward, I would have passed on Logic. Oh man, girl! I wish I could say something, but I can't. Came close a month ago during a heated debate in another thread... very close. Nothing's certa...

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

Logic is subsidized by iPhone sales. Let's face it. Apple could give away Logic for nothing and it wouldn't matter to them. The Logic side of their business doesn't have to be profitable. It just has to sell computers. IMO looking at the fact that Logic is one of App store's best selling apps it's ...

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

Thanks for the replies, like I said, I'll almost certainly get DP9 as well. I believe there's a place where one can use the best of both and port things over in either direction. Had MOTU announced that MachFive (and it's VI library) was going to be included with DP9 from this point forward, I would...

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

Resistance was futile. After looking at these two (and Reeaper briefly) - despite my long history with DP, for now, I couldn't resist going with Logic Pro X due to the overwhelming amount of "extras" - VI/sounds, FX, sampler, Drummer/designer/ loops etc. I had been looking at buying extra ...

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

So let me ask - if I bought LPX and it's not fully doing it for me - is there problems patching all those instruments through into DP9 tracks? This implies it's possible - but any negatives doing this? http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes/document.2005-04-08.6218004846 You can do it, but it's ...

Re: Digital Performer Vs Logic Pro X

Logic down to $199 while adding roughly what was sold separately at about $2,000 worth of instruments and FX What I'm trying to say is where the heck is DP9?? I'm still sitting in the wings without any DAW waiting on DP9, (I would have bought it) but not sure how long that's going to be. Meanwhile,...
