Re: USB sustain pedal

Yes the Fastlane is 2-in and 2-out. Can I use that with Reason and DP?

Re: USB sustain pedal

Actually my MIDI controller doesn't have any other inputs or outputs other than the 'MIDI OUT'. That's it.

USB sustain pedal

I am trying to throw a sustain pedal into my mix when I use Reason and DP but can't quite seem to figure out how to do it. My MIDI keyboard is really basic. Other than the one MIDI OUT there are no other outputs. I have a fastlane MIDI interface, MOTU 828, and a G4. Any ideas on how I can use a sust...

Using Stereo Compression

Hi. I have a PRO VLA Compressor, DP5 and the original 828 Firewire. Is there a way for me to put compression using my PRO VLA onto a mix from DP5 via my 828 and print/record it back onto a stereo track in DP--all in fell swoop? In other words: Is it possible to go stereo out of the 828 (using a pair...

Addendum

Thanks for taking time to help answer my question Big D. I don't think I phrased my second question properly though, so I am going to try again. Is there a way to use my compressor on a DP mix back into DP? In other words, the recording device that I want to "print" to is DP. So I would ha...

Using an outboard compressor (not a plug-in) with 828

I just bought a new compressor (ART 2-channel PRO VLA) and want to be able to add it as an insert on my mixes. I'm assuming two things: 1. This will enable me to not only put compression on live instruments but also on soft synth instruments as well. 2. When making a final mixdown I will be able to ...

I also got MOTU tech support on the phone (Rich) the first time in 4 years. He walked me through a couple steps (a few of which you mentioned) but the problem persists and the phones are back on the busy signal. He looked at my crash log but was unable to determine what the issue was... However, I a...

Try unplugging all your perifrils, like external MIDI, audio interface etc and see if it starts up. Did you keep earlier versions of DP like 5 or 4.61? Try those if you have em. Is Atmosphere up to date? Did the alias get deleted that points to Atmopshere's DAT file? Thanks for the tips... I tried ...

I'd have eliminated Atmosphere first, or at least all plugs, and slowly reintroduced them, starting with DP's stockies and finally Atmosphere. Sorry if I've misread this, but it seems you've not removed Atmosphere, unless it's a MAS plug too. :roll: Just a thought; I almost always begin with 3rd pa...

Drag your DP prefs onto the desktop and try that first, found in your home/library/prefs folder. Don't delete them. Also, try the same with your motu plugin folder by taking all the plugs out. If the plugin thing does the trick, start adding them in, maybe in small groups of 4, and restarting DP un...

DP 5.11 Failure to Launch

After months of problem-free operation, I am unable to launch DP 5.11. I tried resetting my PRAM, uninstalling and re-installing and still can't quite figure this out...

Everyother application works fine...

I got:

G4
10.4.8
Reason 2.5
Atmosphere


Any suggestions?
