Re: FYI...DP 11.01 is out

Thanks, guys. I'll probably give v.11 a try when I get to the right lull in my workflow.

Re: FYI...DP 11.01 is out

Ha! Well, I'm as hoary as anyone! I can confirm that shift-option dragged automation points are 100% constrained (duplicated identically) regardless of track height in DP11.1 - even at "Mini". There's always some undocumented fixes in updates. I guess this was fixed in one of them. Thanks...

Re: FYI...DP 11.01 is out

I appreciate that everyone likes to work how they like to work, but have you considered snapshot automation, and/or option-shift dragging automation data points as workarounds? The problem exists also with option–shift dragging of control points, a method I typically use – then I usually (not alway...

Re: FYI...DP 11.01 is out

Unlike DP, Logic has sticky behavior when you click on an automation line, so it's easy insert identical points. This may be more of a DP feature-request than a bug fix. If it's a feature request, it's been asked for by many folks for over 20 years now (since DP 3). You said it's only an issue at t...

Re: FYI...DP 11.01 is out

What exactly are you doing to add the second automation point? Clicking on the automation line. E.g., if a volume point is at 6 at Bar 20, and I want keep it at 6 for 8 bars till it changes, I'll want to insert another 6 just before bar 28, and another 6 right on bar 28 which, now selected, can be ...

Re: FYI...DP 11.01 is out

Automation control point bug fixed yet? I’ve poked around in Motunation for 45 minutes, without joy (not least because “bug“ is too short to be used as a search term). I don’t see it mentioned on the list of new fixes in DP 11. Since DP 3, when you add a new automation control point at the same valu...

Re: Favorite dynamic EQ plugin?

Thanks, Pencilina. Whatever the merits of other contenders, $29 for Waves' F6 is worth playing with. So I bought it, but still don't have it working. It passes DP's examination, but the window is just blank white. I didn't install the v.13 version because it's specifically listed as requiring a &quo...

Re: Favorite dynamic EQ plugin?

Some nice suggestions so far, thanks. At a glance, the Fabfilter Pro-MB ($199, or less in a bundle) and Eventide SplitEQ (on sale for $99 from $179 till Jan 3) look similar to each other (and different to typical MB's) in allowing the band ranges to overlap. So for example you could apply reduction ...

Favorite VI's with parameter randomizer?

I recall having fun in the 90's with some device or software that had a parameter randomizer function. (Maybe it was my Yamaha SY-33.) You could dial up a preset and then control which parameters to keep and which to randomize. Wondering what other plug-ins or VI's these days have a similar thing? – K

Favorite dynamic EQ plugin?

Hi all, Happy Solstice. Wondering what your favorite dynamic-EQ plug-ins are. E.g., Eventide SplitEQ. Things similar to multiband compressors... but it seems like there have been some new concepts in the past couple of years. Maybe something interesting is on holiday discount right now?

Best,
K

Re: Keyboard Controller with best DP integration?

I found a half-price deal on a new-in-box Novation Impulse 61. Basic keyboard integration with DP 9 in OS 10.7.5 works fine, and while the semi-weighted keyboard isn't fabulous, it's better than "synth keys." I have yet to try to install Automap to enable more functionality. Fools errand i...

Re: Keyboard Controller with best DP integration?

Thanks, Michael. Novation's website has a "compatibility checker" that shows compatibility starting with OS 10.8 for several controllers – Impulse, SL MkII, etc. https://resource.novationmusic.com/support/os-compatibility?product=Impulse So that's not encouraging. But if my main interest i...

Keyboard Controller with best DP integration?

HI Folks, I was somewhat active on the old Motu-Mac list as "Hoagie" 15-20 years ago, but haven't been online alot since then (howdy James!). I'm looking for a keyboard controller that integrates with DP 9.X on Mac OS 10.7 PowerMac system (because that's the latest OS compatible with my Ap...
